Glaciological investigations in Norway in 2006

Altitudinal distribution of winter, summer and annual mass balance at Rembesdalskåka in 2020. Based on the snow depth measurements the spatial distribution of the winter balance was

For most maritime glaeiers (Ålfotbreen and Hansebreen) the summer balanee was slightly higher than average. It is, however, necessary to emphasize that ablation was measured in the

Sinee the stakes can disappear during partieularly snow-rieh winters, and sinee it is of ten diffieult to distinguish the summer surfaee (S.S.) by probing alone, snow eoring is

The winter balance for 2002 was calculated as the sum of late autumn ablation calculated from comparison of stake measurements and soundings in May 2002, and snow

The calculation of winter balance is based on point measurements of snow depth (stakes, core samples and soundings) and on measurement of snow density at one representative
