ABSTRACTOn the basis of in situ weather observations and a physical-based model, verified by a glaciological method, this article investigates the surface energy balance of the Aldegondabreen glacier during the summer melt season of 2021. Aldegondabreen (5.3 km2) is a low-elevation glacier near the...
