Reconciling Svalbard Glacier Mass Balance [PDF]

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Since the first estimates of Svalbard-wide glacier mass balance were made in the early 2000s, there has been great progress in remote sensing and modeling of mass balance, existing field records have been extended, field records at new locations have ...

Deriving glacier mass balance from accumulation area ratio on Storglaciären, Sweden

, 2007
Glacier net mass balance, bn, tends to correlate well with accumulation area ratio (AAR). A method that substitutes the long-term bn - AAR relationship by the transient relationship, derived from repeated measurements during one ablation season, is ...

Comparison of remote sensing derived glacier facies maps with distributed mass balance modelling at Engabreen, northern Norway

, 2007
Calibration and validation of glacier mass balance models typically rely on mass balance data derived from measurements at individual points, often along altitudinal gradients, thus neglecting much of the spatial variability of mass balance.

Hot Spots of Glacier Mass Balance Variability in Central Asia. [PDF]

Geophys Res Lett, 2021
AbstractThe Tien Shan and Pamir mountains host over 28,000 glaciers providing essential water resources for increasing water demand in Central Asia. A disequilibrium between glaciers and climate affects meltwater release to Central Asian rivers, challenging the region's water availability. Previous research has neglected temporal variability.

The Energy and Mass Balance of Peruvian Glaciers [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
AbstractPeruvian glaciers are important contributors to dry season runoff for agriculture and hydropower, but they are at risk of disappearing due to climate change. We applied a physically based, energy balance melt model at five on‐glacier sites within the Peruvian Cordilleras Blanca and Vilcanota. Net shortwave radiation dominates the energy balance,

Monitoring the annual geodetic mass balance of Bordu and Sary-Tor glaciers using UAV data

Annals of Glaciology, 2023
The geodetic mass balance of a glacier corresponds to glacier-wide volume changes, converted to mass changes using density assumptions. It is typically calculated by differencing multi-temporal digital elevation models.

Two periods of geodetic glacier mass balance at Eastern Nyainqentanglha derived from multi-platform bistatic SAR interferometry

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Bistatic SAR interferometry is an essential technique of observing glacier height changes and geodetic mass balance. Eastern Nyainqentanglha distributes the majority parts of monsoonal temperate glaciers and presented the quickest glacier mass loss rate ...

Reconstructing the mass balance of Brewster Glacier, New Zealand, using MODIS-derived glacier-wide albedo [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2016
In New Zealand, direct measurements of mass balance are sparse due to the inaccessibility of glaciers in the Southern Alps and the logistical difficulties associated with maintaining a mass balance record.
