Can the Mass Balance of a Glacier be Estimated from its Equilibrium-Line Altitude?
Abstract The possibility of replacing or supplementing direct measurements of mass balance by estimates calculated from equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) measurements is investigated by statistical analyses of data from 31 glaciers. A linear relationship between mass balance and ELA in terms of two pa...
