MARC recordOn modelling surface meltwater discharge from Arctic and alpine glaciers / D. Scott Munro.
| Title: | On modelling surface meltwater discharge from Arctic and alpine glaciers / D. Scott Munro. |
| Author(s): | Munro, D. Scott. |
| Date: | 1991. |

| Abstract: | Energy-balance model for glacierized basins has been developed in which microclimate of glacierized area of basin interacts with that of non-glacierized part through horizontal heat exchange. Given distribution of winter mass balance, model calculates summer mass balance and consequent meltwater discharge from glacier surface. Absorbed global radiation and net longwave loss are dominant energy controls upon meltwater production, so reduced runoff is consequence of increase in either altitude or latitude of glacier. Because other energy-exchange terms are important as well, changes in characteristics of non-glacierized part of basin, and climatic change, can be shown to affect melt rates. |
