Influence of high-order mechanics on simulation of glacier response to climate change: insights from Haig Glacier, Canadian Rocky Mountains
Evolution of glaciers in response to climate change has mostly been simulated using simplified dynamical models. Because these models do not account for the influence of high-order physics, corresponding results may exhibit some biases. For Haig Glacier in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, we test this hypothesis by comparing simulation results obtained from 3-D numerical models that deal with diff...
متن کاملSurface Energy Balance Closure and Turbulent Flux Parameterization on a Mid-Latitude Mountain Glacier, Purcell Mountains, Canada
In the majority of glacier surface energy balance studies, parameterization rather than direct measurement is used to estimate one or more of the individual heat fluxes, with others, such as the rain and ground heat fluxes, often deemed negligible. Turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat are commonly parameterized using the bulk aerodynamic technique. This method was developed for horizont...
متن کاملAblation and associated energy balance of a horizontal glacier surface on Kilimanjaro
[1] The surface energy balance of a glacier describes the physical connection between ice/snow ablation and climatic forcing. To expand knowledge on the response of Kilimanjaro’s glaciers to climate variations, this study estimates the energy balance on a horizontal glacier surface at the summit for the periods March to September 2000 and March 2001 to February 2002. An automatic weather statio...
متن کاملCaeoma cassiopae sp. nov., a rust on Cassiope tetragona in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Caeoma cassiopae sp. nov. (Uredinales) is described on the arctic-alpine shrub Cassiope tetragona. It was found in three locations in the Rocky Mountains of west-central Alberta, and is the first rust reported on the genus Cassiope. The sori resemble the uredinia of species in the genus Chrysomyxa. The host in the Ericaceae also suggests affinity with that genus. However, the spore morphology, ...
متن کاملArea change of glaciers in the Canadian Rocky Mountains , 1919 to 2006
Glaciers in the Canadian Rocky Mountains constitute an important freshwater resource. To enhance our understanding of the influence climate and local topography have on glacier area, large numbers of glaciers of different sizes and attributes need to be monitored over periods of many decades. We used Interprovincial Boundary Commission Survey (IBCS) maps of the Alberta–British Columbia (BC) bor...
