Abstract

Abstract To identify the atmospheric controls of the summertime glacier surface energy balance in the Himalayas, in situ meteorological data collected at 6,523 m above sea level during May–July 2005 were obtained and analyzed. Our results showed that net shortwave radiation (103 W m −2 ) and turbule...
