Mass balance re-analysis of Findelengletscher, Switzerland; benefits of extensive snow accumulation measurements

A re-analysis is presented here of a 10-year mass balance series at Findelengletscher, a temperate mountain glacier in Switzerland. Calculating glacier-wide mass balance from the set of glaciological point balance observations using conventional approaches, such as the profile or contour method, res...
