| Summary: | This report is a result of a master thesis project. The project was launched to get more information of the factors affecting the mass balance of small glaciers in Northern Iceland. Observations on the glaciers were analysed in comparison with previous estimations of mass balance (Eythorsson and Sigtryggsson, 1971), a degree-day mass-balance model (MBT) and an atmospheric model MM5 (National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) / Pennsylvania State University). |
