摘要:Measurements of summer mass balance Bs
, made over the period 1946-2016,
on 56 continental glaciers, located in the basins of mountain rivers in 14 countries, were
analysed for the purpose of resolving several tasks: (a) constructing physically based
interrelations between river flow Wbas and Bs
; (b) estimating the representativeness of
local measurement of Bs
for enhancement of hydrological computations and for control
of modelled values Wbas; and (c) use of time series of Bs
for the evaluation of norms and
extrema of Wbas. Results of the study of the outlined problem serve as the basis for making
the transition of local glaciological characteristics to the basin-wide level by using the
relationship between runoff and summer balance of glaciers. It includes also analysis and
conclusions on the spatial and temporal homogeneity of averaging glaciological mass
balance data by the sampling method.
