Temperature sensitivity of the mass balance of mountain glaciers and ice caps / Roger J. Braithwaite, Yu Zhang, Sarah C.B. Paper.
Title: | Temperature sensitivity of the mass balance of mountain glaciers and ice caps / Roger J. Braithwaite, Yu Zhang, Sarah C.B. Paper. |
Author(s): | Braithwaite, Roger J. Zhang, Yu. Paper, Sarah C. B. |
Date: | 2003. |
In: | Zeitschrift für Gletscherkunde und Glazialgeologie. (2003.), Vol. 38(1) (2003) |
Abstract: | Reviews various approaches to problem and describes current degree-day model, which treats freezing of rain and refreezing of meltwater (assumed for glaciers with annual mean air temperature below 8°C). Presents input data and discusses uncertainties and their consequences. Describes parameter tuning until modelled altitudinal distribution of mass balance agrees with observations. Presents modelled sensitivities to 1°C temperature change for 61 glaciers, almost all in Northern Hemisphere, from Arctic to tropics. Sensitivities vary from -0.1 to -1.2 m water a⁻¹ deg ⁻¹. Examines effects of continentality and precipitation change. Finds good agreement between current results and those from Oerlemans using energy balance method for 12 glaciers common to both studies. |
