The Decaying Near‐Surface Boundary Layer of a Retreating Alpine Glacier

Abstract The presence of a developed boundary layer decouples a glacier's response from ambient conditions, suggesting that sensitivity to climate change is increased by glacier retreat. To test this hypothesis, we explore six years of distributed meteorological data on a small Swiss glacier in...
