Main publication details
MARC recordThe annual balance and climatic sensitivity of North Cascade, Washington glaciers / Mauri S. Pelto.
| Title: | The annual balance and climatic sensitivity of North Cascade, Washington glaciers / Mauri S. Pelto. |
| Author(s): | Pelto, Mauri S. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Eastern Snow Conference. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 45th Annual Meeting (1988) |
| Abstract: | Annual mass balance measured on 10 glaciers in 1984-1987. Based on these data, method of prediction of annual mass balance was designed and tested. Method relates annual measurement of accumulation area ratio and determination of perennially constant activity index and area/altitude distribution on each glacier. Method used to calculate annual balance of 47 glaciers in 1984-87. From results, glaciers can be divided into six types according to climatic sensitivity. |
