MARC recordModelling changes in glacier mass balance that may occur as a result of climate changes / Roger J. Braithwaite, Yu Zhang.
| Title: | Modelling changes in glacier mass balance that may occur as a result of climate changes / Roger J. Braithwaite, Yu Zhang. |
| Author(s): | Braithwaite, Roger J. Zhang, Yu. |
| Date: | 1999. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1999.), Vol. 81A(4) (1999) |
| Abstract: | Discusses modelling present mass balance in terms of climate and then perturbing climate variables to calculate future mass balance. Prefers degree day model using temperature and precipitation to calculate snow accumulation, snow and ice melting and possible refreezing of meltwater. Applies model to 37 glaciers in different parts of world, with details given for Storglaciären, Sweden. In special issue on Methods of Mass Balance Measurements and Modelling. |
| Notes: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. Vol. 81A(4) :489-496 (1999). |
