Abstract
This paper presents a comparison of measured ablation and calculated ablation based on an energy balance approach. The meteorological measurements for this study were conducted on the ice sheet in the Søndre Strømfjord area, West Greenland, during the 1990 and 1991 melt seasons as a part of the Greenland Ice Margin Experiment (GIMEX). The calculated ablation was used to force a model to predict proglacial meltwater runoff in the same area. Results are presented from a comparison between calculated and measured ablation as well as a comparison between measured and modelled discharge.
