Scale dependent albedo variations and runoff from a glacierized alpine basin / Melinda M. Brugman.
Title: | Scale dependent albedo variations and runoff from a glacierized alpine basin / Melinda M. Brugman. |
Author(s): | Brugman, Melinda M. |
Date: | 1991. |
Publisher: | Wallingford, Oxfordshire: IAHS Press |
In: | Snow, hydrology and forests in high alpine areas. Proceedings of an international symposium held during the 20th General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Vienna, 11-24 August 1991. (1991.), |
Abstract: | Measurements made during summer 1990 on Sentinel Glacier, British Columbia. Albedo at 1 m height varied from 0.1 to 0.3 in ablation zone, 0.2 to 0.6 near equilibrium line, 0.6 to 0.8 in accumulation zone, and 0.2 to 0 in crevassed areas. Snow ablation can be explained primarily by net radiation flux, even though snowmelt and runoff peaks occur after radiation peak by several hours. Dramatic summertime albedo variations affect glacier runoff and mass balance annually, particularly below equilibrium line. |
