Hypsometry of Glacier AX010 in the Shorong region, Nepal Himalaya
Abstract
This archive contains hypsometry (area-elevation distribution) of Glacier AX010 in the SHorong region, Nepal Himalaya. Description of the datasheetz: Elevation band covering +/- 10 m (m a.s.l.)For instance, z4930 means elevation band from 4920 to 4940h: Area (m^2)four digit with h: Year Median elevation (m a.s.l.) and total area (km^2) are summarized below.1978: 5218 / 0.5991991: 5215 / 0.5391999: 5194 / 0.4012008: 5196 / 0.3392023: 5175 / 0.185 Citation:Ageta Y, Ohata T, Tanaka Y, Ikegami K, Higuchi K (1980) Mass balance of Glacier AX010 in Shorong Himal, east Nepal during the summer monsoon season.
