Ablation on the ice cap of King George Island (Antarctica) : an approach from field measurements, modelling and remote sensing
… ice cap compiled. The work focuses on surface energy balance modelling based on data from three summer field campaigns in the years 1995/96, 1997/98 and 1999/2000 at sites in different altitudes on the ice cap. Large-scale atmospheric weather patterns were derived from NOAA-IR composites and …

Tracking retreat processes at the Falljökull Glacier, SE Iceland
… period 2011-2013 and compared to results from energy balance modelling (EBM) to determine the climatic, hydrological and structural controls on glacier dynamics. The results show that melt production at Falljökull is closely linked to energy inputs to the glacier surface, although consistent …

HOW TO REDUCE TRANSPLANT STRESS IN URBAN TREES
… trees using micrometeorological measurements, energy balance modelling and gas exchange. Severe crown reduction markedly decreased leaf area index, shading, latent heat dissipation and canopy conductance, reducing cooling capacity and thermal comfort improvement at the site, despite temporary …

Quantifying supraglacial debris thickness at local to regional scales
… debris thickness is a key control on the surface energy balance of debris-covered glaciers, which are common in temperate mountain ranges around the world. As such, it is an important input variable to the sorts of models that are used to understand and predict glacier change, which are essential …

Utilisation of remote sensing for the study of debris-covered glaciers: development and testing of techniques on Miage Glacier, Italian Alps
… cover has a profound impact on glacier mass balance with thick layers insulating the underlying ice and dramatically reducing ablation, while thin or patchy cover accelerates ablation through albedo reduction. Few debris-covered glaciers have been studied in comparison with ‘clean’ glaciers …
