Abstract: In the summer of 1994, meteorological measurements were performed on Pasterze Glacier in the eastern Alps. One of the most remarkable observations concerning the observed climate was the persistent glacier wind. On the ...

Abstract: Determining the rate of atmospheric warming in Antarctica is hampered by the brevity of the temperature records (<50 years), which still contain signals of decadal circulation variability in the Southern Hemisphere. In ...

Abstract: The quality of atmospheric radiation measurements made at automatic weather stations (AWSs) in Antarctica is assessed. The AWSs are placed on the coastal ice shelf in the katabatic wind zone and on the high Antarctic ...

Abstract: A meso-?-scale atmospheric model has been used to simulate atmospheric circulations observed during the Greenland Ice Margin EXperiment (GIMEX). The simulations shown here are two-dimensional and cover the 12?13 July 1991 ...

Abstract: his study presents the first twenty-first-century projections of surface mass balance (SMB) changes for the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) with the Community Earth System Model (CESM), which includes a new ice sheet component. ...

Abstract: A high-resolution GCM (ECHAM-3 T106, resolution 1.1° ? 1.1°) is found to simulate many characteristic features of the Antarctic climate. The position and depth of the circumpolar storm belt, the semiannual cycle of the ...

Abstract: he modeling of the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) requires high-resolution models in order to capture the observed large gradients in the steep marginal areas. Until now, global climate models ...

Abstract: his study uses output of a high-resolution (5.5 km) regional atmospheric climate model to describe the present-day (1979?2012) climate of Patagonia, with a particular focus on the surface mass balance (SMB) of the Patagonian ...
