Corrective Terms in the Glaciological Balance

Abstract Two corrective terms in the mass balance between two cross-sections are computed. The first results from the fact that balances are measured at moving stakes. The second correction arises since the discharges are calculated through summer cross-sections which are smaller than their mean val...

Description
Summary:Abstract Two corrective terms in the mass balance between two cross-sections are computed. The first results from the fact that balances are measured at moving stakes. The second correction arises since the discharges are calculated through summer cross-sections which are smaller than their mean values during the whole year.
