Mass Balance of West Gulkana Glacier

Geographical Review, 1991
Annual and longer-term mass-balance calculations provide a means to relate glacier behavior to climate. Selected representative glaciers are monitored for this purpose. West Gulkana Glacier, in the eastern Alaska Range, was among the glaciers mapped during the 1957-58 International Geophysical Year. It was remapped in 1986, after which twenty-nine-year

Modelling of Glacier Mass Balance

1993
The energy balance of the ice/snow surface is the dominating factor with regard to mass balance of glaciers in warm environments (currently all ice outside Antarctica). It is shown that an energy balance model is able to generate realistic mass-balance profiles from climate data for glaciers in widely differing climatic settings.

Glacier Mass Balance and Runoff Research in the U. S. A.

Geografiska Annaler. Series A, Physical Geography, 1984
Research on glacier mass balance began in the U.S.A. about 50 years ago. More complete studies of climate, snow and ice balance, and the hydrology of glaciers were initiated for the IGY in 1957 and the IHD in 1966. Investigations included the magnitude and geographic distribution of normal mass balance processes and unusual phenomena such as ...

Glacier Mass Balance Regimes

2013
The two parts of mass balance, inputs and outputs, are now considered together. Budget estimates are provided for Biafo Glacier and from partial data for Batura, Baltoro and some others. Overall quantities reflect the greater moisture availability and mass inputs at high elevations in the Karakoram.

Examining Glacier Mass Balances with a Hierarchical Modeling Approach

Computing in Science and Engineering, 2007
The results of simulating past and future mass balances suggest that the Bering Glacier will lose significant ice mass and that the Hubbard Glacier will grow more slowly in the near future than in the recent ...

Glacier Mass Balance I: Snowfall and Glacier Nourishment

2013
The inputs to glacier mass balance and phenomena that influence them in the Karakoram are considered in this chapter. Snowfall in the source areas of the glaciers is the first concern. Observations at Biafo Glacier, an Alpine type, offer a rare, relatively detailed quantification of high-altitude snowfall in the accumulation zone.

Dynamics and mass balance of Taylor Glacier, Antarctica: 3. State of mass balance

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2009
Taylor Glacier flows from the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and terminates in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, where it has left a geomorphologic record of past incursions. Here we use new data on the flow, thickness, and surface balance of Taylor Glacier to calculate ice fluxes and assess the current state of mass balance.

The mass balance of glacier de Sarennes

2008
Les variations de masse des glaciers sont des indicateurs climatiques sensibles et bien adaptés à l'étude des changements du climat à haute altitude. La série des bilans de masse du glacier de Sarennes (Alpes françaises) initiée en 1949 est l'une des plus anciennes série enregistrée dans le monde et inclus les 2 composantes saisonnières du bilan ...

Energy-balance modeling of glacier mass balance in Iceland

The detailed, physically-based, one-dimensional snowpack model SURFEX/ISBA-Crocus was used to simulate the seasonal and annual surface mass balance (SMB) of the five largest Icelandic glaciers (Vatnajökull, Langjökull, Hofsjökull, Mýrdalsjökull and Drangajökull) for the period of 1990–2024, for which annual mass-balance measurements are available.
