Simulated annual mass balance of Glacier AX010 in the Shorong region, Nepal Himalaya
Abstract
These archives contain annual mass balance and related variables for Glacier AX010 in the SHorong region, Nepal Himalaya, for the period from 1941 to 2023. Annual variables are outputs for the period from 1 Oct. to 30 Sep. Control result (mb_ctl.csv) denotes the mass balance simulated with the precipitation parameter (r_P=1.48) tuned to yield the observed geodetic mass balance. Also shown are the results with the lower (_ngt) and upper (_pst) bounds of the parameter (+/- 0.08). Results simulated without calibrating precipitation parameter are also provided (_nc).
