Distributed energy and surface mass balance modeling of Austfonna, Svalbard.

The climatic influence on a large cold/polythermal Arctic ice cap with substantial surface melt was investigated by calculating the surface energy balance (SEB)and subsurface properties. This method was applied on Austfonna (∼8100km2,NE Svalbard) during melt season 2004. Surface mass balance was cal...
