Climate on the equilibrium line altitudes of glaciers: theoretical background behind Ahlmann's P/ Tdiagram
ABSTRACT The climatic condition that prevails at a glacier equilibrium line altitude (ELA) is often parameterized in terms of summer air temperature ( T ) and annual precipitation ( P ). This simple parameterization was initially proposed by Hans W:son Ahlmann. The physical background of the relatio...
