The Effect of Slope, Exposure and Mountain Screening on the Solar Radiation of McCall Glacier, Alaska: A Contribution to the International Hydrological Decade
The McCall Glacier is located in the Brooks Range, north Alaska. Most of its slopes have a northerly exposure with an inclination between 5°and 15°. The reduction in direct solar radiation owing to this northerly exposure is small (1.7%) in summer (ablation period, solar declination 20°), as the red...
