Main publication details
MARC recordEffect of climatic perturbations on the equilibrium-line altitude, West Greenland / Walter Ambach.
| Title: | Effect of climatic perturbations on the equilibrium-line altitude, West Greenland / Walter Ambach. |
| Author(s): | Ambach, Walter. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1993.), Vol. 39(131) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Perturbation analysis is applied to heat balance at EGIG line with respect to climatic changes. Shift of equilibrium-line altitude is obtained for perturbations of temperature, absolute humidity, cloudiness, and annual accumulation. Total net ice ablation at EGIG line increases by 45% with perturbation of +1 K. Applying this figure to entire ice sheet, total ablation equals total accumulation at warming of +2 K, if refreezing of meltwater is neglected. |
