Response of the Energy Balance on the Margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet to Temperature Changes

Abstract Daily ice ablation on two outlet glaciers from the Greenland ice sheet, Nordbogletscher (1979–83) and Qamanârssûp sermia (1980–86), is related to air temperature by a linear regression equation. Analysis of this ablation-temperature equation with the help of a simple energy-balance model sh...
