Glacier Power Glossary | NASA Earthdata
Processes (especially melting) by which a glacier loses ice and snow: melting, evaporation, calving, and erosion. The area of a glacier where ablation occurs. Accumulation, Accumulation zone. Process (especially snowfall and compression) by which a glacier gains snow and ice. The area of a glacier where accumulation occurs. Arete
Fresh Water Flux | NASA Earthdata
The volume transport of water to (riverine discharge, glacial discharge, precipitation) or from (evaporation) the ocean.
Glacier Power: What is Glacier Anatomy? | NASA Earthdata
In the lower region or ablation (output) zone, the glacier loses ice through melting and evaporation. Older ice is carried down to greater and greater depth. An equilibrium line divides the two areas. This spot is like an old fashioned pair of scales used to weigh gold dust.

To the Lighthouse | NASA Earthdata
2020年12月28日 · “Quantifying evaporation is the hardest part of this study,” said Pakorn Petchprayoon, a researcher from Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency in Thailand. On top of the lighthouse, gadgets spin and record the energy exchanges of the water molecules—their rise and fall, speed and direction, and density.
evaporation increased, driven by higher surface water temperatures. “Climate change is definitely increasing evaporation,” Petchprayoon said. This does not surprise him. What does is the erratic pattern of evaporation in one year. For instance, November dips after an increase in evaporation in October, only to start back up again in December.
Glacier Power: What is Glacial Calving? | NASA Earthdata
Look! Seeing is believing! Look at the large rocks in the woods and picture how they arrived there. Listen! The thunder of falling ice is a warning signal from Child’s Glacier.
13 These more extensive observations have also proven that the sea level drop was only tem-porary. Even though La Niña-induced rainfall
