Record #107036:

Annual balance of North Cascade, Washington glaciers predicted from climatic records / M.S. Pelto.

Title: Annual balance of North Cascade, Washington glaciers predicted from climatic records / M.S. Pelto.
Author(s): Pelto, M. S.
Date: 1990.
In: Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1990.), Vol. 47th Annual Meeting (1990)
Abstract: Method developed to monitor mass balance with accuracy of ±0.12 to 0.15 m a⁻¹. Equation to predict annual balance from climate records also developed. Mean error is 0.0g m a⁻¹ for North Cascade glaciers as a whole. Equation is not reliable for application to specific glaciers. For 1984-89, mean annual balance was -0.2 m a⁻¹. Cause of negative mass balance due to decrease in winter precipitation from long-term mean.
