Energy balance analysis of a tropical glacier in the Andes and identification of key meteorological variables for empirical melt estimates

This study investigated surface energy fluxes of the Huayna-Potosí Glacier in Bolivia to validate existing empirical melt estimates, including degree-day models and enhanced temperature-index models. A multilayer energy balance model of the snowpack was employed to estimate melt energy and analyze i...
