2 m temperatures along melting mid-latitude glaciers, and implications for the sensitivity of the mass balance to variations in temperature

Abstract In calculations of the variation in the 2 m temperature along glaciers, the lapse rate is generally assumed to be constant. This implies that the ratio of changes in the 2 m temperature above a glacier to changes in the temperature outside the thermal regime of that glacier (“climate sensit...
