While not many time series of equilibrium line observations are available, this is consistent with the terminus retreat rates of tens to hundreds of meters per year observed for most of these glaciers. This research was supported by Hydrology grant E67-8415 from NASA and by an NSF graduate fellowship. Contour interval 500 meters. Dashed line indicates the location of the inner domain. Contour interval 200 meters.
Dashed rectangle indicates the location of the modeled icefield.
Atmospheric conditions and surface radiation are obtained from the atmospheric model. Turbulent heat fluxes are calculated within the glacier model.
