Mass balance and cold air ponding, an analysis of Conness Glacier, Sierra Nevada, California / Frederick Burns Chambers.
Title: | Mass balance and cold air ponding, an analysis of Conness Glacier, Sierra Nevada, California / Frederick Burns Chambers. |
Author(s): | Chambers, Frederick Burns. |
Date: | 1992. |
In: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. (1992.), Vol. 73(43, fall meeting supplement) (1992) |
Abstract: | Abstract only. Current six-year drought in California has resulted in highly negative mass balance years for this glacier. Exception to overall trend is found at base of glacier in ablation zone, where cold-air ponding behind massive terminal moraine/bedrock complex appears to be inhibiting melt and even promoting accumulation. |
Notes: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. Vol. 73(43, fall meeting supplement) :180 (1992). |
