MARC recordSummer temperature profiles within supraglacial debris on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal / H. Conway, L.A. Rasmussen.
| Title: | Summer temperature profiles within supraglacial debris on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal / H. Conway, L.A. Rasmussen. |
| Author(s): | Conway, H. Rasmussen, L. A. |
| Date: | 2000. |
| Publisher: | Wallingford, Oxfordshire: IASH Press |
| In: | Debris-covered glaciers : proceedings of an international workshop held at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington USA, 13-15 September 2000. (2000.), |
| Abstract: | Describes variations in temperature within supraglacial debris on Khumbu Glacier, Nepal in summer. Surface temperatures were up to 35°C higher than air temperature, with solar radiative flux dominating energy transfer. Thicker debris reduced ice melt considerably. |
| Notes: | In: Debris-covered glaciers : proceedings of an international workshop held at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington USA, 13-15 September 2000 / M. Nakawo, C.F. Raymond, A. Fountain, eds. |
