Mountain glaciers recouple to atmospheric warming over the twenty-first century Open
Recent studies have argued that air temperatures over many mountain glaciers are decoupled from their surroundings, leading to a local cooling which could slow down melting. Here we use a compilation of on-glacier meteorological observatio…

Snowfall decrease in recent years undermines glacier health and meltwater resources in the Northwestern Pamirs Open
Central Asia hosts some of the world’s last relatively healthy mountain glaciers and is heavily dependent on snow and ice melt for downstream water supply, though the causes of this stable glacier state are not known. We combine recent in-…

DCG-MIP: The Debris-Covered Glacier melt Model Intercomparison exPeriment Open
In a warming world of glacier changes, the scientific community has dedicated increasing attention to debris-covered glaciers and their response to climate. A variety of models with distinct complexity and data requirements have been devel…

Inferring glacier meteorology with physical modeling and remote sensing Open
Meteorology is crucial to understand the rapid response of mountain glaciers to climate warming, but is often challenging to observe and simulate due to site inaccessibility, instrument maintenance and the complex interactions between glac…

Modelling seasonal fluctuations and aspect characteristics of ice-cliff melt on the debris-covered Trakarding Glacier, Rolwaling Valley, Nepal Himalaya Open
Ice cliffs on debris-covered glaciers act as melt hotspots that considerably enhance glacier ablation. However, studies are typically limited in time and space; glacier-scale studies of this process of ice cliff melt are rare, and their va…

Observed and projected declines in glacier albedo across the Third Pole in the 21st century Open
Glaciers are crucial water resources in the Third Pole (the Tibetan Plateau and its surroundings) and are shrinking in response to climate change. Glacier albedo is an expression of glacier interactions with climate and dust/black carbon, …

Land surface modeling informed by earth observation data: toward understanding blue–green–white water fluxes in High Mountain Asia Open
Mountains are important suppliers of freshwater to downstream areas, affecting large populations in particular in High Mountain Asia (HMA). Yet, the propagation of water from HMA headwaters to downstream areas is not fully understood, as i…

Temperature Decoupling on the World’s Mountain Glaciers Open
The development of a katabatic boundary layer can decouple near surface air temperature changes over glaciers from their surrounding environment during the ablation season, impacting the response of glaciers to ongoing climate change. Curr…

Spatially distributed streamflow buffering by glaciers during recent droughts in Switzerland Open
During dry and hot years in the Swiss Alps, melt water from glaciers can moderate streamflow deficits caused by reduced precipitation and enhanced evapotranspiration rates. However, little is known about how glacier melt water contribution…

Hydrological regimes and evaporative flux partitioning at the climatic ends of high mountain Asia Open
High elevation headwater catchments are complex hydrological systems that seasonally buffer water and release it in the form of snow and ice melt, modulating downstream runoff regimes and water availability. In High Mountain Asia (HMA), wh…

Local Controls on Near‐Surface Glacier Cooling Under Warm Atmospheric Conditions Open
The near‐surface boundary layer can mediate the response of mountain glaciers to external climate, cooling the overlying air and promoting a density‐driven glacier wind. The fundamental processes are conceptually well understood, though th…

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