Surface energy and mass balance modeling of a Peruvian tropical glacier
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-12)
Glaciers in Peruvian Andes play an important role for local hydrology. To quantify the availability of glacier meltwater in a climate change scenario, surface energy (SEB) and mass balance (MB) models are required. However, ...
