How to handle glacier area change in geodetic mass balance

Journal of Glaciology, 2023
Innovations in geodesy enable widespread analysis of glacier surface elevation change and geodetic mass balance. However, coincident glacier area data are less widely available, causing inconsistent handling of glacier area change.

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,

Explaining mass balance and retreat dichotomies at Taku and Lemon Creek Glaciers, Alaska

Journal of Glaciology, 2020
We reanalyzed mass balance records at Taku and Lemon Creek Glaciers to better understand the relative roles of hypsometry, local climate and dynamics as mass balance drivers. Over the 1946–2018 period, the cumulative mass balances diverged.

Long-range terrestrial laser scanning measurements of annual and intra-annual mass balances for Urumqi Glacier No. 1, eastern Tien Shan, China [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2019
The direct glaciological method provides in situ observations of annual or seasonal surface mass balance, but can only be implemented through a succession of intensive in situ measurements of field networks of stakes and snow pits.

Mass-balance parameters derived from a synthetic network of mass-balance glaciers [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 2012
AbstractGlacier mass-balance parameters such as the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) play an important role when working with large glacier samples. While the number of observational mass-balance series to derive such parameters is limited, more and more modeled data are becoming available.Here we explore the possibilities of analyzing such 'synthetic ...

Energy fluxes, mass balance, and climate sensitivity of the Sutri Dhaka Glacier in the western Himalaya

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Various regional climatic factors influence glacier mass balance and thus control the water budget of the Himalayan rivers. However, the scarcity of observational data hinders a detailed understanding of the processes governing glacier mass balances in ...

Juneau Icefield Mass Balance Program 1946–2011 [PDF]

Earth System Science Data, 2013
The annual surface mass balance records of the Lemon Creek Glacier and Taku Glacier observed by the Juneau Icefield Research Program are the longest continuous glacier annual mass balance data sets in North America.

Use of ablation-season albedo as an indicator of annual mass balance of four glaciers in the Tien Shan

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Glacier mass balance and its sensitivity to climate change depend to a large degree on the albedo and albedo feedback. Although recent increasing studies reconstruct the annual surface mass balance (SMB) based on the relationships between satellite ...

Mass-Balance Studies of Gara Glacier [PDF]

Journal of Glaciology, 1977
AbstractThe Gara Glacier, a north-facing valley glacier situated in the western Himalaya, was selected to be part of the study undertaken by India in connection with the International Hydrological Decade. This paper deals with the procedure adopted and the results obtained for mass-balance assessment over a period of one year between September 1974 and

Thinning of the Monte Perdido Glacier in the Spanish Pyrenees since 1981 [PDF]

, 2016
Producción CientíficaThis paper analyzes the evolution of the Monte Perdido Glacier, the third largest glacier in the Pyrenees, from 1981 to the present. We assessed the evolution of the glacier's surface area by analysis of aerial photographs from 1981,
