Evaluation of glacier mass balance by observing variations in transient snowline positions

The author has identified the following significant results. The transient snowline on five outlet glaciers from the Jostedalsbreen ice cap in southwestern Norway could be determined from ERTS image no. 1336-102060, when bands MSS 5, 6, and 7 were combined in an additive color viewer. The snowline w...
