Description
Summary:A preliminary investigation of the meteorological conditions on the Chamberlin Glacier in the summer of 1958 was carried out, with emphasis being placed on the measurement of some of the parameters needed to assess the energy balance of the glacier. The Expedition was not equipped with the instruments necessary to carry out a detailed micro climatological study, thus no quantitative measurements of heat balance were obtained. [.]
