The study demonstrates that winter precipitation is more important for maritime glaciers, whereas summer temperature is more important for annual balances of continental glaciers. (sciencedaily.com)
The high negative annual balance of recent years combined with the small size of the glaciers will ensure a continued retreat for the next several years. (nichols.edu)
The net balance record and annual balance record is shown in Table 2 and Figure 2. (nichols.edu)
