Record #119168:

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:
