Annual net balance on eight North Cascades glaciers during the 1984 - 1994 period has been determined by measurement, of total mass loss from firn and ice melt and, of residual
snow depth at the end of the summer season.
It's much more useful for me to look directly at correlations with peak
annual Spencers Creek
depth, which I've of course used extensively for my
snow depth prediction model.
Nevertheless, the authors found that smooth ice
snow depth over
annual ice was above the critical threshold of 20 cm suggested by ringed seal studies:
Kwok et al. 2011 measured
snow depth from the air in April 2009, via microwave radar, along several Arctic tracks that included a transect from the Alaskan shore through
annual ice in the Beaufort Sea, several through multiyear ice and one through mixed
annual plus multiyear ice.
