MARC recordA mass balance model that uses low-altitude meteorological observations and the area-altitude distribution of a glacier / Wendell V. Tangborn.
| Title: | A mass balance model that uses low-altitude meteorological observations and the area-altitude distribution of a glacier / Wendell V. Tangborn. |
| Author(s): | Tangborn, Wendell V. |
| Date: | 1999. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1999.), Vol. 81A(4) (1999) |
| Abstract: | In special issue on Methods of Mass Balance Measurements and Modelling. Presents glacier mass-balance model requiring only low-altitude precipitation and temperature observations and glacier's area-altitude distribution as alternative to direct field measurements. Model relies on internal consistency of mass balance variables generated by simulation using low-altitude weather data. Compares independently produced simulation results for South Cascade Glacier, WA, USA, 1959-96 to balances measured at glacier. Finds agreement between annual balances for individual years is fair and between long-term volume changes measured by geodetic method is excellent. |
