Is the longitudinal profile of Storglaciären, northern Sweden, in balance with the present climate? / Per Holmlund.
Title: | Is the longitudinal profile of Storglaciären, northern Sweden, in balance with the present climate? / Per Holmlund. |
Author(s): | Holmlund, Per. |
Date: | 1988. |
In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1988.), Vol. 34(118) (1988) |
Abstract: | Main perturbation in mass balance of glacier during 20th century was caused by sudden 1° increase in summer mean temperature in 1910. Annual field surveys suggest that mass balance has been in near balance for last 15 a, so that glacier could by now have reached profile in balance with present climate. To study this problem, emergence velocity was calculated and compared with net balance; results show it either balances or exceeds net balance for entire tongue, except lowest part, where it deceases to about half of net balance. Slight further recession would thus be expected with today's climate, although glacier is approaching steady state. |
