Supraglacial Ice Cliffs Can Substantially Increase the Mass Loss of Debris‐Covered Glaciers
Abstract The thinning patterns of debris‐covered glaciers in High Mountain Asia are not well understood. Here we calculate the effect of supraglacial ice cliffs on the mass balance of all glaciers in a Himalayan catchment, using a process‐based ice cliff melt model. We show that ice cliffs are respo...
