Interactive comment Interactive comment on “Darkening Swiss glacier ice?” by Kathrin Naegeli et al. Kathrin Naegeli et al. [email protected] Received and published: 17 April 2018 ——————————————————————————— We would like to thank the referee 2 for this careful and detailed review. We appreciate the in-depth comments and are convinced that thanks to the respective changes, the manuscript will improve substantially. In response to this review, we elaborated the role of supraglacial debris in more detail by: (1) manually delineating medial moraines and areas where tributaries separated from the main glacier trunk and debris has become exposed to obtain a complete Printer-friendly version supraglacial debris mask based on the Sentinel-2 image acquired in August 2016, and (2) applying this debris mask to all data and, thus, to exclude areas with debris cover- Discussion paper age from all consecutive analyses. Additionally, we further developed the uncertainty assessment of the retrieved albedo values by providing more information about the C1 datasets used as well as their specific constraints and uncertainties that may result thereof in a separate sub-section in the methods section. Based on these revisions, TCD the conclusions will most likely be slightly adjusted, however, stay in line with the orig- inal aim of our study to investigate possible changes in bare-ice albedo in the Swiss Alps based on readily available Landsat surface reflectance data.

Switzerland Welcome to Switzerland
Welcome to Switzerland A complete guide for your stay in Lausanne during the 15th CSCWD Conference Table of Contents I. Switzerland and the Lausanne region II. Access to Lausanne III. Restaurants in Lausanne IV. Transports in Lausanne V. Useful Information VII. Your venue: The Olympic Museum VIII. Tourism Activities I. Switzerland and the Lausanne region By its central geographical location, Switzerland is an ideal international destination for business, incentive and leisure travel. It is a country with many different facets. It unites an impressive variety of landscapes in a small geographical area and benefits from an exceptional natural heritage. As an important centre for communication and transport between the countries of Northern and Southern Europe, it has a common frontier with Germany, France, Italy, and the Principality of Liechtenstein. The Alpine Arc, just a few kilometers away from Lausanne, features some of the finest mountain peaks like the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc or the Jungfrau, and spectacular passes: Grimsel, St Gotthard, Simplon and Great St Bernard. These natural assets are further enhanced by security and dependability, Swiss values par excellence . The second largest city on the shore of Lake Geneva, Lausanne combines the dynamics of a business town with its ideal location as a holiday resort. Sport and culture are a golden rule in this Olympic capital. Nature, historic town, contemporary architecture, and exceptional surroundings: the Olympic capital is a model of the art of living and of cultural events. No need to wear out your shoes to visit the town and its region. A dense public transport network gives you the freedom to go from the lakeside to the trendy neighborhoods within minutes. -

As our first President I.A.Karimov said “Today is difficult to revalue the importance of knowing foreign languages for our country, as our people see their great prosperous future in the cooperation with foreign partners”[1,47]. That’s why knowing foreign languages has become very important today. Under the notion “knowledge” we understand not only practical but theoretical basis too. Uzbekistan has great importance in the world stage today, for this case there are a lot of successful partnerships with other foreign investors. As the world’s language is English many people need to know it as a second language. Practically, learners can share their opinions by using the language, but theory is a bit difficult to use and understand directly. To know the language perfectly, people should know theory and literature of this language. -
