Table 2.
Winter (Bw), summer (Bs) and annual mass balance (Ba) expressed as m w.e. (meter water equivalents) together with the Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) calculated in Hurd Glacier for the last 14 hydrological years. Mean and standard deviation are shown at the bottom of the table. For ELA values in bold indicate an ELA below the moraine altitude and therefore continuous snow cover.
