Mass Balance of the Ward Hunt Ice Rise and Ice Shelf: A 10 Year Record

The results of 10 years' (1958-68) record of accumulation and ablation from the Ward Hunt ice rise and of 3 years' (1965-68) record from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf are presented. The net mass balances on the ice rise for the 3 years 1962-65 are positive, while the net mass balances measured i...

Description
Summary:The results of 10 years' (1958-68) record of accumulation and ablation from the Ward Hunt ice rise and of 3 years' (1965-68) record from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf are presented. The net mass balances on the ice rise for the 3 years 1962-65 are positive, while the net mass balances measured in the other years on both ice rise and ice shelf are all negative. (Author)
