90 M a del Carmen Domìnguez, Adolfo Erasospecial software that we have designedspecifically for the characteristics of thecatchment areas where we work (Domínguez,2004). The material used for the gaugings is auniversal windlass F1, also from SEBAHydrometrie, that is designed to determinewater speed in rivulets and rivers, with definedalgorithm and dynamic range.Fig. 2. Time series for both the meteorological and glacier discharge parameters.The calibration curve between level andvolume for CPE-KG-62ºS station withcorrelation coefficient R 2 = 0,99, is shown inFig. 1 and it lets us get an accurate dischargelaw for this glacier.Time series of meteorological parameters(air temperature, solar radiation, atmosphericpressure and precipitation) are obtained fromthe weather station of the Antarctic RussianBase Bellinsghausen, located 4 km from theglacier edge, where CPE-KG-62ºS station isinstalled.Fig. 2 shows time series for both themeteorological and glacier dischargeparameters, this last one obtained from thelevel time series measured by the previouslymentioned sounder and the adjustment curvebetween both parameters (Fig. 1):13,98 · levelQ glacier = 0,0159eEach time series consists of 42808 synopticvalues for the represented period, from the 20 thof January, 2002, to the 31 st of September,2006. They are hourly measures for eachparameter, except precipitation, which is givenin accumulated daily values. For eachcomplete data series we represent the oneobtained after using a noise filter, we haveused a moving average of 10% on the whole
