Modelling ice and snow melt is of large practical and scientific interest, including issues such
as water resource management, avalanche forecasting, glacier dynamics, hydrology and …

An enhanced temperature-index glacier melt model, incorporating incoming shortwave
radiation and albedo, is presented. The model is an attempt to combine the high temporal …

Field Techniques in Glaciology and Glacial Geomorphology is the first text to provide this
essential information in a single comprehensive volume. Coverage includes: The role of …

GEOtop is a fine-scale grid-based simulator that represents the heat and water budgets at
and below the soil surface. It describes the three-dimensional water flow in the soil and the …

Some recent studies revealed that Himalayan glaciers were shrinking at an accelerated rate
since the beginning of the 21st century. However, the climatic causes for this shrinkage …

The automatic weather station (AWS) on the snout of the Vadret da Morteratsch, Switzerland,
has delivered a unique 12 year meteorological dataset from the ablation zone of a …

Spatial and temporal variations in aerodynamic roughness length (z0) on Haut Glacier
d'Arolla, Switzerland, during the 1993 and 1994 ablation seasons are described, based on …

During the 2005–2007 June–September ablation seasons, meteorological conditions were
recorded on the lower and upper parts of the debris‐covered ablation zone of Miage Glacier …

The surface energy balance of a glacier describes the physical connection between
ice/snow ablation and climatic forcing. To expand knowledge on the response of …

Meteorological variables were recorded (14 March 2002 to 14 March 2003) at 4890 m
above sea level (asl) on the Antizana Glacier 15 (0.71 km2; 0° 28′ S, 78° 09′ W) in the …
