Abstract
As a part of the GGU programme for mapping the hydroeleetric potential of West Greenland, mass balance and temperature data have been collected. Additionally, remote sensing has been applied to the delineation of drainage basins on the Inland lce.

As a part of the GGU programme for mapping the hydroeleetric potential of West Greenland, mass balance and temperature data have been collected
The field programme was started in August 1982, when stakes for measuring the mass balance were drilled into the ice
The winter snow cover on the ice was very patchy, and was confined mainly to drifts in gullies and crevasses up to stake 7, while it was continuous at higher elevations
Summary
As a part of the GGU programme for mapping the hydroeleetric potential of West Greenland, mass balance and temperature data have been collected. The field work was carried out on the IRland Ice adjoining a drainage basin at Påkitsoq , proposed for a local hydropower project The field programme was started in August 1982, when stakes for measuring the mass balance were drilled into the ice. Brief reports of the work have been given in Thomsen (1983b, 1984b) , and a more detailed description ean be found in Thomsen (1983a, 1984a).
