Impact of varying debris cover thickness on ablation: a case study for Koxkar Glacier in the Tien Shan
To quantify the ablation processes on a debris covered glacier, a simple distributed ablation model has been developed and applied to a selected glacier. For this purpose, a set of field measurements was carried out to collect empirical data. A morphometric analysis of the glacier surface enables us...
