Mass balance and runoff of the partially debris-covered Langtang Glacier, Nepal / Wendell V. Tangborn, Birbal Rana.
Title: | Mass balance and runoff of the partially debris-covered Langtang Glacier, Nepal / Wendell V. Tangborn, Birbal Rana. |
Author(s): | Tangborn, Wendell V. Rana, Birbal. |
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: | Uses precipitation-temperature-area-altitude (PTAA) model to calculate mass balance and runoff of Langtang Glacier, Nepal, with input from Kathmandu airport producing snow accumulation and snow and ice ablation at 25 altitude intervals on glacier. Mean summer runoff of 14 mm per day is similar to that from Lirung Glacier basin, and simulated ablation is also in accord. |
