Glacier-Climate Models as Palaeoclimatic Information Sources: Examples from the Alpine Younger Dryas Period
The regional distribution of precipitation in a mountain range like the European Alps is a good indicator for continental-scale atmospheric circulation patterns. This is particularly true when precipitation is primarily caused by the advection of air masses to the Alps from the North Atlantic or the...

| Summary: | The regional distribution of precipitation in a mountain range like the European Alps is a good indicator for continental-scale atmospheric circulation patterns. This is particularly true when precipitation is primarily caused by the advection of air masses to the Alps from the North Atlantic or the Mediterranean Sea, as is the case under cold |
