Measured and modelled sublimation on the tropical Glaciar Artesonraju, Perú
Sublimation plays a decisive role in the surface energy and mass balance of tropical glaciers. During the dry season (May–September) low specific humidity and high surface roughness favour the direct transition from ice to vapour and drastically reduce the energy available for melting. However, fiel...
