Temperature Measurements in a Temperate Glacier

Temperatures have been measured at two sites in a temperate glacier (Blue Glacier, Washington, U.S.A.) to depths of 192 and 76 m. The accuracy, which varies between about 0.002 and 0.005 deg, is about an order of magnitude better than previously obtained. Except near the surface, temperatures vary l...
