Mass balance of three Svalbard glaciers reconstructed back to 1948
A simple model using upper-air meteorological variables in the NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis database is used to model seasonal components of mass balance of three glaciers in Svalbard. The model was originally developed for glaciers in North America, and has been applied to glaciers in Norway, Sweden and Iceland. Over the period for which mass balance data are available for the three Svalbard glaciers,...
متن کاملMass Balance and Area Changes of Four High Arctic Plateau
Small, stagnating ice caps at high latitudes are particularly sensitive to climatic fluctuations, especially with regard to changes in ablation season temperature. We conducted mass balance measurements and GPS area surveys on four small High Arctic plateau ice caps from 1999–2002. We compared these measurements with topographic maps and aerial photography from 1959, and with previously publish...
متن کاملReconstruction of mass balance of glaciers in southern Norway back to 1948
A model using upper-air meteorological variables in the US National Centers for Environmental Prediction and US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP/NCAR) re-analysis database is used to extend net balance bn back to 1948 for seven glaciers in southern Norway. The observational record of another glacier, Storbreen, began in 1948. Over the observational record of each of the seven glac...
متن کاملIndirect measurements of the mass balance of summer Arctic sea ice with an electromagnetic induction technique
In the framework of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) study indirect, non-invasive ice mass-balance measurements were carried out at a drifting station in the northern Chukchi Sea between May and August of 1998. Ice thickness was derived from electromagnetic-induction (EM) measurements of apparent conductivity along 13 profiles (60 to 900 m long). As shown through sensitivity ...
متن کاملAdjustment of regional climate model output for modeling the climatic mass balance of all glaciers on Svalbard
Large-scale modeling of glacier mass balance relies often on the output from regional climate models (RCMs). However, the limited accuracy and spatial resolution of RCM output pose limitations on mass balance simulations at subregional or local scales. Moreover, RCM output is still rarely available over larger regions or for longer time periods. This study evaluates the extent to which it is po...
