In many mountainous regions of the world, observations on glaciers have been undertaken for centuries for scientific as well as practical pur- poses. The main international purpose of these observations has focused on a better understanding of the evolution of climate, while at the local level the prediction and reduction of glacier catastrophes have become fields of primary concern. During this century, the task of assessing the influence of perennial ice masses on the water cycle has gained considerable interest. Regular glacier observations, which were originally limited to the more densely'populated mountain regions, have now become regular international undertakings. Snow and ice studies, for instance, have played an important role in the activities of the International Hydrological Decade (IHD, 1965-1974) and of the Inter- national Hydrological Programme (IHP) which followed the Decade. Evidence is now accumulating that man's energy consumption could have strong impacts on the global climate in the near future. Changes of climate would seriously affect all forms of ice on earth and could lead to considerable problems related with, for example, water management in semi-arid regions irrigated by glacier meltwater. For this reason, it has become evident that land ice can be considered a sensitive indicator of ongoing changes in the energy balance at the earth's surface.
It is in this context that Unesco and UNEP support the activities of the international services which collect and publish standardized glacier data: the Permanent Service on the Fluctuations of Glaciers and the Temporary Technical Secretariat for the World Glacier Inventory, both located at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich. To guarantee the continuity of the observations and to further improve the use of the resulting information, steps are presently being taken to merge the two services.
The present report, Volume IV of "Fluctuations of Glaciers" is published by IAHS with the support of Unesco. The opinions expressed herein are those of the contributors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the organizations.
UNESCO, D~vision of Water Sciences, Paris, 1985. FOREWORD
The International Commission on Snow 'and Ice (ICSI) is a direct descen- dent of the former International Commission on Glaciers (1894-1927), which was created to monitor the fluctuations of gla~iers all around the world in order to understand their relations to climatic changes . .Although it was recognized early that glaciers respond sensitively to variations in climate, the time ·scale òf this response is too long for significant results to be obtained by a single generation of scientists, and an institutional, permanent service appear~d to be necessary. Thanks to the enthusiasm and efforts of a legion of volunteers in many countries, this service has survived two World Wars, economic vicissitudes and taken part in the dramatic changes in ac í.ence during the past century. This volume is the latest in a distinguished series, in which each addition adds to the value of those previously published, at the same time reflecting the changes in the priorities and methods of scientific investigation.
The general pattern observed in the dev~lopment of each geoscience can be r ecognised in the study o f q Lac iers. At the beginning, on ly geographic observations and descriptions were made. Next, the em~hasis was on investigation of regularities of structure and motion by precise surveys and quantitative measurements; at this stage some "l.aws" to predict and. explain the behaviour of glaciers in terms of climate, g rad ien t e tc . wer e s u_gg e st e d b Y Pe n c k a nd B r ü ck n e r, Ah l m a n n , R ich a rd Finsterwalder, and others, and tested against field observations. This approach has been followed by the development of physical and mathemat- ical models to reduce the complexities of.glacier behaviour to a problem in mechanics and calo~ics. Although the first such models were devised by Sebastian Finsterwalder in 1903 and Weinberg in 1906, we may date the start of modern glacier modelling from the ICSI symposium held in Chamonix in 1958. It may be noted that mathematical modelling t echn.ì que s were applied to glacier problems somewhat earlier than to problems in most other geosciences.
MeaDwhile, and in the ~ollowing years, many new observational techniques such as VHF sounding, ·ice core drilling, or satellite imagery and alti- metry have appeared, which, together with a tremendous development in logistics, have provided a wealth of reliable and detailed information
II about glacier characteristics and behaviour that wa~ not possible before. The,study of glaciers, an important brancn of geoscience in its own right, and closely related to climatic studies and hydrology, has also become important to petrology, ~aterials science, cosmology, regional pollution, northern navigation and other areas of science and human affairs. Con.sequently, leSI has considerably broadened its scope, and its initial major activity of monitoring fluctuations of glaciers has become a Permanent Service of the Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical Services (FAGS) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU), under the tutorship of ICSI.
These developments do not mean that the monitoring of glacier fluctua- tions has become less important or obsolete. Today more than ever before, glaciologists need reliable and representative data on glacier behaviour to tune their models or to test their theories. A heàlthy dialectic has started between the Service which gathers the field data and the users of these data who ask for more data or for improvements in the way they are collected. Each piece of information obtained by systematic on-the-ground measurement is more laborious to acquire and more expensive to the data user than any piece of information obtained from an orbiting satellite; but data obtained by remote sensing will not replace direct field observations, although it can enhance their value. Satellite imagery is of va¡ue to glacier studies in its own right; it can be used to give generalized information when field data are missing, and can further enhance the significance of ground measur~- ments by providing comparative observations of nearby glaciers or recor- ding the timing of events between field observations. Teams of volun- teers for field observations and efficient people to gather the data according to established procedures are more useful than ever to the modern study of glaciers. It is the work of these teams that is presen- ted in this volume.
In any discussion about glacier fluctuations, it is usual to stress the .ì mp ort ance of monitoring these fluctuation,s in order to allow better management of water resources, or to detect world-wide climatic changes at an early stage. The recent broadening of glacier studies to be relevant to a wide range of sciences and important human problems has been noted above. Without minimizing in the least these important and obvious goals and developments, we should like to draw attention to a more idealistic bu~ nonetheless vital role.
III The hoble ~~jective of,UNESCO, UNEP and other agenqies forming part of the United Nations system is to foster international cooperation in the advancement of science and exchange of information, for the sake of peace, for the development of less favoured countries, and for the bene f it o f mankind. At its m odest. rank, the PSFG contributes to this objective. ,Glaciers are found in many parts of the world, from the tropics to the poles, and their presence and their value to world science bears no relation to political systems or the economic develop- ment of the countries in which they are located. Through its requests for data from all glacierized regions, ,the PSFG brings isolated agen- cies and geosciences from many lands into the world-wide scientific community. Being involved ina continuing study backed by an inter- national agency helps the institutions and their staffs.to obtain facil- i~ies for fi~ld studies, to produce scientific publications and to travel. They contribute important information to a world-wide scien-
t ì f ì ce nt erpr ì se , and exchange scientific data directly with leading glacier scientists in other countries. In its small way, the PSFG helps scientists in many countries realize, perhaps, that it is not necessary to have a large budget in every branch of science or a,NASA or a CERN on their doorstep in order to be able to contribute significantly to that most important undertaking of mankind: the advancement of the scientific understanding of our shared environment.
We are therefore happy to present this fourth volume on glacier fluctua- tions, which materializes years of patient work, and which is published with the high standards of its predecessors and of IAHS publications. We congratulate its principal author, Dr. Wilfried Haeberli, who took over coordination of the enterprise after a number of delays and difficulties, and by his energy and dedication has brought it to a successful conclusion.

IV PROLOGUE AND THANKS
Efforts to monitor land ice on a global scale date back to the last century. Between 1895 and 1913, world-wide glacier observations were summarized by the International Commission on Glaciers. This Commission was succeeded by the International Commission on Snow and Ice (ICSI) of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) which subsequently established, in 1967, the Permanent Service on the' Fluctuations of Glaciers (PSFG) as one of the services of the Federation of Astronomical and Geophysical,Sciences of the Int.ernati onal Council of Scientific Unions (FAGS/ICSU). Three volumes containing glacier fluctuation data have already been published by the PSFG:
Vol. I: Fluctuations of Glaciers 1959-1965 (P. Kasser) Vol. II: Fluctuations of Glaciers 1965-1970 (P. Kasser) Vol. III: Fluctuations of Glaciers 1970-1975 (F. MUller)
The objective of the periodic PSFG publication series is to reproduce a global set of data on the fluctuations of glaciers which
- affords a general view of the changes - encourages more extensive measurements - invites further processing of the results - facilitates consultation of the further sources - serves as a basis for research.
To aid standardization on an international level, UNESCO, together with IAHS and ICSI, published a series of "Technical Papers in Hydrology". These publications were aimed .at the study of snow and ice as natural resources, and at the study of the mechanisms of glacier fluctuations and their relationship to climatic variations. Some of these "Guides" have been updated in recent years, and the following are those most ,relevant for this present volume (Volume IV) of "Fluctuations of Glaciers":
v l. Variations of Existing Glaciers. A Guide to international Practices for their Measurement. Technical Papers in Hydrology No.3, UNESCO 1969, which is in part superseded and made more specific by: Instructions for Submission of Data for "Fluctuations of Glaciers 1975-80", issued by the PSFG in June 1983.
2. Perennial Ice and Snow Masses. A Guide for Compilation and Assemblage of Data for a World Glacier Inventory. Technical Papers in Hydrology No. l, UNESCO 1970, which is in part super- seded by: F. Müller, T. Caflisch and G. Müller, 1977: Instructions for Compilation and Assemblage of Data for a World Glacier Inventory, and by: TTS (1983): Guidelines for Preliminary Glacier Inventories, both issued by the Temporary Technical Secretariat for World Glacier Inventory of ICSI, now at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW), Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich.
3. Combined Heat, Ice and Water Balances at Selected Glacier Basins, Part I: A Guide for Compilation and Assemblage of Data for Glacier Mass Balance Measurements. Part II: Specifications, Standards and Data Exchange. Technical Papers in Hydrology No.5, UNESCO 1970 and 1973.
After the publication of PSFG Volume III in 1977, the unexpected, tragic death of its director, Prof. Dr. Fritz Müller, interrupted acti vities until 1983. This interruption not only lead the service into a diffi- cult financial situation but also produced, in some cases, a discontinuity in the contacts with national correspondents and collaborators. Nevert.heLess , thanks to the cooperation and quick response from glaciologists allover the world, the present volume could be completed within a relatively short time period.
Thanks are due to the parent agency FAGS for the allocation of grants. 'However, the main burden of the operation had to be borne by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich. The help and assistance of many colleagues at the Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and
VI Glaciology, ETH Zürich is most gratefully acknowledged. In addition to the Director, the PSFG team consisted primarily of two people who were responsible for a major part of the work involved - Peter Müller (computer programming and data management) and Pamela Alean (administration and text) who, throughout the production of this volume, showed the sort of initiative which contributed greatly to the efficiency with which this publication could be completed. They were ably assisted in their tasks by Willy Schmid (maps), and by Werner Nabs and Jiri Pika (data input). Karl Scherler, Executive Secretary of the TTS, provided valuable back-up expertise and implemented a step towards the future coordination of the TTS and the PSFG by assigning WGI-numbers to all glaciers in the PSFG data bank.
M. Kuhn (Innsbruck), 'M.F. Meier (Tacoma) and L. Reynaud (Grenoble) acted as scienti fic consultants, and the members of the Swiss Coordinating Group for PSFG/TTS - D. Vischer (Zürich), A. Ohmura (Zürich), H. Röthlisberger (Zürich) and B. Salm (Davos) - as well as C.C. Wallén, consultant to UNEP, helped with administrative measures. Their efforts greatly facilitated the work of the PSFG office during the preparation of "Fluctuations of Glaciers 1975-80".

x CHAPTER l INTRODUCTION
1.1 Preparation of Volume IV of "Fluctuations of Glaciers"
The present volume of Fluctuations of Glaciers 1975-1980 continues the series of ,publications started by Kasser (1967, 1973) and Müller (1977), - referred to here as Volumes I, II and III. Volume III saw a major development towards standardization of data and the installation of a data bank; it appears that this standardization is, in general, acknow- ledged by the glaciological community to be both appropriate and useful. It was felt that changes in terminolgy, format and types of data should be kept to a minimum in order to preserve the coherency of this long- term series. The format of the present volume therefore strongly resembles that of Volume III.
Data sheets were "sent to national correspondents in summer 1983. These sheets saw only minor changes compared to those distributed during the compilation of Volume III. The question of mass balance terminolgy may be the most delicate point. Some mass balance terms used in Volume III, such as "net accumulation", not only give correspondents the freedom to
present their specí.aL'kí nd of observations, but may also lead to some uncertainty when interpreting mass balance data~ It was therefore recommended that national correspondents define what they actually measured by using, whenever possible, the terminology developed by Mayo et al. (1972); this recommendation was, unfortunately, not followed by most national correspondents. This is certainly regrettable from a puristic point of view; it may, however, be of less importance with respect to the practical use of long-ter~ records. The data sheets also requested information on the availability of hydrometeorological data, even though the actual data are not published in PSFG volumes. A note- worthy change with respect to Volume III is the fact that length variations of glacier tongues are given as total displacements (m) and not as mean velocities (m/year) of advance or retreat, which were sometimes interpolated over long time intervals; this change was suggested by Patzelt (1979). For the first time, correspondents were asked to supply information about unusual events, such as glacier surges or large glacier floods; such information in national reports (e.g., Kasser and Aellen 1983, Rist 1984) has proven to be very useful despite the fact that it is often qualitative and incomplete. The request by the PSFG on this point was considered as a' pilot study on the question as to whether or not such observations should be included in future PSFG volumes. The weak echo to the request probably indicates that informa- tion on unusual events is not easily obtainable and cannot yet be collected for regular publication on a whrld-wide scale. For similar reasons, it was decided not to include bibliographies and results of short-term energy balance studies.
Computer programmes were developed to not only represent the actual data but also to process it further in order to summarize the results at a later date and to form a basis for making assessments on current developments. A system was developed to store all the data received on data sheets, magnetic tapes, punch cards and print-outs. Information is most complete on the original data sheets where, for example, specific remarks pertinent to the measurements of individual glaciers can some- times be found. Other information, such as the dates of individual measurements, was stored on the magnetic tapes, but is not printed in this volume. This means that information more complete than that prin- ted in the tables is available. Computer work was done using the CDC computer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich. Proofs of the tables and the text were sent to national correspondents at the end of 1984 and beginning of 1985.
The present volume contains information on 691 glaciers. Data on "Positians of Glacier Fronts" for the period 1975-1980 were received for 626 glaciers, with "Addenda from Earlier Years" for 105. "Mass Balance Study Results - Summary Data" were submitted for a total of 76 glaciers, with detailed "Mass Balance versus Altitude" data for 20 glaciers. Data relating to "Changes in Area, Volume and Thickness" are presented for 36 glaciers. Although some information is available from glaciers in Africa, South America, Asia and Antarctica, the bulk of the data comes from North America, Europe and the USSR. For the first time in the PSFG series, data on Chinese glaciers is included, but no fluctuation data was obtained from Mexico, Venezuela, Columbia, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Spain, Turkey, Afghanistan, Nepal, India and Bhutan. In some cases, the PSFG was not able to establish contacts (e.g., Chile), in others programmes seem to have been suspended (e.g., Afghanistan) or to have st art ed after 1980 (e.g.,Spain).
2 A special section, Chapter 7, has been included in this volume to represent important information which does not fit into the standardized format of the tables. This section mainly concerns balances estimated using "index measurements" on remote glaciers and polar ice sheets. The scarcity of fluctuation data from the largest ice bodies on earth still represents the chief limitation to global land ice monitoring today.
The tradition of including examples of special glacier maps .ìabe i.nq continued with the inclusion of 13 maps in the back pocket of this volume. The collection of maps in PSFG volumes not only reflects the "state of the art" in the field of glacier mapping, but is also thought to document especially well-studied glaciers and qLac ì ers in remote areas. The value of such maps for interpreting glacier fluctuation data is certainly beyond any discussion. The PSFG is extremely grateful for the fact that most of the maps included here were donated. Brief descriptions of the maps are given in Chapter 8.
A reference list for the present volume is to be found after Chapter 9, immediately before Table A. It should be noted, however, that refer- ences pertinent to the map texts are found at the end of each text and are therefore not included in the general reference list.
As a result of requests for the standard PSFG'data sheets from various scientists and authorities, it has been decided to include the data sheets which were used for the collection of data for this volume in Appendix l, together with the corresponding explanations.
3 1.2 Organization of the Present Volume
The data presented in this volume consist of the following types: Table Ä: General Information on the Observed Glaciers Table B: Variations in the Position of Glacier Fronts, 1975-80 Table BB: Variations in the Position of Glacier Fronts - Addenda from'earlier years Table C: Mass Balance Summary Data, 1975-80· Table CC: Mass Balance Summary Data - Addenda from earlier years Table CCC: Mass Balance versus Altitude for Selected Glaciers Table D: Changes in Thickness, Area and Volume Table E: Availability of Hydrometeorological Data Table F: Miscellaneous Data presented in Chapter 7
Sources of data and comments can be found in Chapters 2 to 7. Within each data type, the glaciers are organized according to the country where they occur with, in same cases, sub-division into smaller geo- graphical units, e.g., Austrian glaciers are divided into Il groups according to natural sub-divisions of the country. Table A provides the reader not only with general information on the glaciers of a particular country or region, but also lists which data are available for these glaciers in other tables. An alphabetic index of glaciers is given at the end of this volume to allow easy location of the data for anyone glacier within the various tables A to F.
Glaciers are identified with a name of up to 15 alphabetical and numeri- cal characters and a "PSFG Number" of four or five digits with an alphabetical prefix denoting the country. The order in which data from the different countries are presented, together with the corresponding prefixes, is shown in the following table: Country: ---Prefix: Country: Prefix: Canada CD France F U.S.A. US Switzerland CH Peru PE Austria A Greenland G Italy I
Iceland IS Kenya KN Norway N U.S.S.R. SU Sweden S China CN Germany (Fed.Rep.) D Antarctica AN
4 Although in some cases it was necessary 'to abbreviate the names of glaciers, it should always be possible to compare data for any particu- lar glacier in the present volume with data in previous volumes. This volume sees the inclusion of the PsFG number for each glacier in every data table, including the index. In addition, the corresponding World Glacier Inventory (WGI) code number for each glacier is given in the index in order to facilitate work with both data sets (PsFG and WGI) in the future. It should be noted, ,however, that the WGI numbers printed in the present volume are those which were being used by the TTs at the end of 1984. Some of these may be changed in the final publication of the WGI and a corrected list will appear in PsFG Volume V.
Although all data are tabulated in Tables A to E, it is not recommended that they be used without consultation of the relevant sections in the text ; in the case o f Tab le F, the data are given w ithin the text o f Chapter 7. Furthermore, when citing data from this volume, references to the original sources of the data - given in the relevant chapter of the text - should be quoted wherever possible.
5 CHAPTER 2 - GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE OBSERVED GLACIERS
2.1 The Parameters
The inçluded parameters consti~ute a useful minimum of information about each observed glacier. Emphasis is placed upon basic information available from a national glacier inventory carr ied out according to internationally agreed specifications. A list of the parameters given in Table A, together with their abbreviations as used in the Table can be found on the cover page of Table A. The 3-digi t classi fication of each glacier (CODE) is based on the following scheme (UNESCO/lASH, 1970) :
Digit l: Primary Classification O Miscellaneous l Continental Ice Sheet 2 Ice-field 3 Ice Cap 4 Outlet glacier 5 Valley glacier 6 Mountain glacier 7 Glacieret or snowfield 8 Ice-shelf 9 Rock glacier
Digit 2: Form O Miscellaneous l Compound basins - two or more glaciers coalescing 2 Compound basin - two or more accumulation basins 3 Simple basin 4 Cirque 5 Niche 6 Crater 7 Ice apron 8 Group 9 Remnant
6 Digit 3: Frontal Characteristics ° Miscellaneous l Piedmont 2 Expanded foot 3 Lobed 4 Calving 5 Coalescing, non .contributing 6 Irregular, mainly clean ice 7 Irregular, mainly debris covered 8 Single lobed, mainly clean ice 9 Single lobe, mainly debris covered
2.2 Sources of Data and Comments for the Various Countries
Indi vidual investigators and their sponsor ing agencies are gi ven for each country in Chapters 3 and 4. The addresses of the sponsoring agencies and organizations holding original data are given in Chapter 6.
Canada (CD)
Data for 43 Canadian glaciers were provided by C.S.l. Ommanney of the Surface Water Division, Ottawa (SW), in the form of a manuscript incor- porating the standard PSFG data sheets (Ommanney, unpublished). Ommanney was assisted by J. Jackson and J. Zi to. Data on individual glaciers are mostly derived from the Canadian Topographic Map Series (NTS) at a scale of 1:50,000.
All of Canada has been flolNn with low level aerial photography suitable for mapping at a scale of 1:50,000. In several cases, special air photo missions have been flown for the mapping of glaciers at a scale of 1:10,000 or better. Flight line information and the individual prints are available from the: National Air Photo Library, Surveys and Mapping Branch, 615, Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, KIA OE9
7 The Surveys and Mapping Branch is striving to complete its mapping of Canada at a scale of 1:50,000 and to update the 1:250,000 scale NTS sheets. Having a somewhat lower priority, many of the mountain and glacierized areas of Canada have yet to be mapped at the larger scale. Maps at all scales and indices are available from the : Canada Map Office, Surveys ,and Mapping Branch, 130, Bentley Avenue, ottiwa, Ontario, KIA OE9
Area values, when not taken from published reports or submitted data, have been taken off the most recent NTS maps sheets using a computer- based digitizing system with the "Automap" software. For the large ice caps and icefields, approximate boundaries were drawn on the 1:1,000,000 scale glacier maps of Canada and the areas measured.
The PSFG number allocation for Canadian glaciers has been based on the initial alphabetic division, using the first two digits, .ì ,e , A = Dl .. to Z = 26 .. and w ith unnamed features starting at 50... The last two digits have been assigned at a scale of 1-99 based on the relative position of a glacier name within its particular alphabetic block, as determined from the latest listing of named glaciological features in Canada. Glacier names with the subscript west, south-east and east etc. refer to the fact that only one lobe of the main tongue was observed.
The Canadian manuscript contains a b~bliography which lists papers and reports published or produced from 1975 to 1980 inclusive. References to work published since then are available from the national correspon- dent.
Data for 3 additional glaciers in NWT Canada were submitted by R. LeB. Hooke (UM) and A. Ohmura (GIETH).
U.S.A. (US)
Data for 106 U.S. glaciers were provided to the PSFG by C S. Brown of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGST). The first digi t of the PSFG number denotes the state where the glacier is located; the second digit denotes the range, the mountains or a specific mountain.

Peru (PE)
Data for 4 Peruvian glaciers were received from M. Zamora Cobos of the "Unidad de Glaciologia" of the "Empresa Electricidad del Peru" in Huaraz (ElectroperujEP). Data for Quelccaya Ice Cap were sent by C S. Brown of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Greenland (G)
Mass balance data for 3 glaciers in Greenland were received from A. Weidick of the Geological Survey of Greenland in Copenhagen (GGU)
9 Iceland (IS)
Frontal variation data for 49 Icelandic glacier tongues were provided by S. Rist of the Hydrological Survey, National Energy Authority in Reykja- vik (OS), and compiled by H. Björnssnn of the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. The Icelandic letters ö and ~ appearing in glacier names have been transliterated in the data tables as o and d respectively.
Norway (N)
Data were received from three sources: from B. Wold of the Norwegian
Resources and Electricity Board (NVE) in Oslo, from o. t ì est e I of the Norwegian Polar Research Institute (NPI) in Oslo, and from J. Jania of the Silesian University in Sosnowiec, Poland (SUP) - for Spitsbergen.
The Norwegian letters ~ and ~ appearing in glacier names have been transliterated as oe and aa respectively.
Sweden (S)
Data for 15 Swedish glaciers were received from V. Schytt and P. Holmlund of the Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm Univer- sity (NGSU). Shortly before this volume went to press, the PSFG office received the sad news of the death of Professor Schytt. As one of the early pioneers to start glacier mass balance measurements and as national correspondent for Sweden since the very beginning of the PSFG publication series, he holds a special place in the history of this service and will long be remembered for the active role he played.
The PSFG numbers for the Swedish glaciers are the last four digits of the IHD index numbers given by Gaffeng (1971). The Swedish letters ä, ö and ~ have been transliterated as ae, oe and a respectively.
The names of the following glaciers are taken from topographical maps and are corrections of the names appearing in Volume III

Germany, Federal Republic (D)
Data for 3 Bavarian glaciers were received from o. Reinwarth of the Commission for Glaciology, Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich (CGBAS).
France (F)
Data for 7 French glaciers were received from L. Reynaud of the Labora- tory of Glaciology and Environmental Geophysics in Grenoble (CNRS).
Switzerland (CH)
Data on 114 Swiss glaciers were received from M. Aellen of the Labora- tory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH), and additional, mass balance data for Rhone glacier was sent by M. Funk of the Geographical Institute of the ETH in Zürich (GIETH). The main source of general information was the Swiss Glacier Inventory by Müller et al. (1976).
Austria (A)
Data for a total of 120 Austrian glaciers were sent to the PSFG from three sources: from G. Patzelt of the Institute for High Mountain Research in Innsbruck (IHG), from H. Slupetzky of the Geographical Institute, University of Salzburg (GlUS), and from o. Reinwarth of the Commission for Glaciology in Munich (CGBAS). The main source of infor- mation was the Austrian Glacier Inventory; the data in Table A (General Information) were, in most cases, taken from this inventory and refer to the situation in 1969.
11 The first two digits of the PSFG numbers for Austria denote the mountain groups as shown in the following table:
Di~it Mountain Group Digit Mountain Group Dl Silvretta Gruppe 07 Glockner Gruppe 02 Oetztaler Alpen 08 Sonnblick Gruppe (Goldberg G. ) 03 Stubaier Alpen 09 Hochkönig 04 Zillertaler Alpen 10 Ankogel-Hochalmspitz Gruppe 05 Venediger Gruppe Il Dachstein Gruppe 06 Granatspitz Gruppe
Italy (I)
Data for 60 Italian glaciers were received from G. Zanon of the Department of Geography, University of Padua (DGUP). The main sources of information were the World Glacier Inventory (in preparation) and the Italian Glacier Inventory.
Kenya (KN)
Data on 6 glaciers on Mount Kenya were received-from S. Hastenrath of the Department of Meteorology, University of Wisconsin, U.S.A. (UWDM).
U.S.S.R. (SU)
Data on glacier fluctuations in the U.S.S.R.were received in the form of a manuscript report in Russian by K.G. Makarevitch (unpublished), of the Institute of Geography, Academy of Sciences in Alma Ata (ASKASSR). Some additional data were taken from various Soviet glacier inventory publications. Data are given on a total of 87 Soviet glaciers in this volume.
China (CN)
Data on 27 Chinese glaciers were sent to the PSFG by Shi Yafeng and Ren Binghui of the Lanzhou Institute of Glaciolology and Cryopedology (LIGC).
12 Antarctica (AN)
Data on 32 Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic glaciers were received from T.J. Chinn of the Ministry of Works and'Development in Christchurch, New Zealand (MWD) and from I. Allison of the Antarctic Division, Department of Science, University of Melbourne, Australia.
There is considerable difficulty fitting Antarctic ice sheet data into the present format of the PSFG volumes for two reasons: knowledge of the ice sheet is still only rudimentary and both the spatial scale of the glaciers and the time scales of the variations are much greater than those of mountain glaciers for which the PSFG format was largely desi qned. (See Chapter 7 for further comments.)
13 CHAPTER 3 - VARIATION IN THE POSITION OF GLACIER FRONTS 1975-80 AND ADDENDA FROM EARLIER YEARS (TABLES B AND BB)
3.1 The Data
Data relating to the position of glacier fronts are given in Table B for the period 1975-80. The data for periods preceding 1975 which were not included in Volume III are given in Table BB of the present volume; in same cases Table BB also gives data which were reported in earlier volumes but which have now been corrected or updated.
Quantitative data in Table B represent the variation in the position of the glacier front in metres. Qualitative data are also given for cases where no measurements were made although there was some frontal activity observed in the reported period: ST = glacier appears to be stationary; +X = glacier appears to be in advance; -X = glacier appears to be in retreat; SN = glacier tongue is covered with snow so as to make the survey impossible. In all cases, the qualitative data should refer to the preceding year for which either quantitative or qualitative data are available. On the other hand, quantitative data following a series of qualitative observa- tions should be understood as referring to the whole period since the last quantitative measurement.
The data given in Table B are not homogeneous with respect to the method of observation used. In some cases, the measurements are made by regular annual or biennial surveys following methods similar to those recommended by the Glacier Commission of the Swiss Academy of Sciences in Kasser (1967, p , 20-26). In other cases, the measurements are more sporadic or casual and are often based upon photogrammetrie methods rather than theodolite survey. The accuracy of the data will rarely be better than about ±0.5m and may be much worse, d~pending on the m~thod used.
Dates of survey are omitted from Table B simply on account of shortage
14 of space. In almost all cases it can be assumed that the surveys are made at or near the end of the balance year, i.e., in the Boreal or Austral Autumn seasons. Deviation from a time interval of 365 days between annual surveys will cause errors in the calculation of annual variations, but they will usually lie within the limit of errors due to other causes.
3.2 Sources of Data and Comments for,the Various Countries
The methods used to investigate the variations in the position of glacier fronts are given for each glacier in the text which follows, according to the following key:
a = aerial photogrammetry b = terrestrial photogrammetry c = geodetic ground survey (theodolite, tape etc.) d = combination of a, b or c e = other methods (e.g. , visual) or no information given
The key to the symbols used for the sponsoring agencies can be found in Chapter 6.
Canada (CD)
Data for 25 Canadian glaciers are given in Table B and for 21 glaciers in Table BB. Glacier variations in Canada have been measured in a number of different ways over the years. Early investigators traditionally measured from one fixed, know~ point to the outer limit of the visible glacier, or determined the mean variation from a number of fixed point measurements. Some of the systematic glacier studies around the turn of the century, reported in the previous Canadian PSFG report (for fluctuations 1970-75), also included regular ground photography 'from established photo stations.
In 1945, the Dominion Water and Power Bureau started routine surveys of the variations and rate of movement of several glaciers in Alberta and British Columbia. Up to 1960, changes were determined by a snout area method and thereafter by a baseline method. The methodology was dis- cussed in the previous report. The Water Survey of Canada has been the
15 only agency in Canada measuring glacier variations systematically on an annual or biennial basis. Unfortunately, their programme in British Columbia has been suspended and that in Alberta is under review. 1978 marked the last year of the biennial terrestrial photogrammentric sur- veys on Bugaboo, Kokanee, Nadahini, Sentinel and Spinx glaciers and those on Athabasca and Saskatchewan glaciers were suspended in 1979. Fortunately, the Çalgary Office of the Water Survey of Canada has con- tinued snout surveys on these latter two glaciers in even-numbered years. The plaque-line, glacier movement survey of Saskatchewan glacier was discontinued in 1978, 'but that on Athabasca glacier continued.
In the previous Canadian report, figures for the retreat of Athabasca and Saskatchewan glaciers were annual rather than biennial values. Hence corrected values are given for these two glaciers. In additian, the figures listed for these two glaciers in Table B of the present volume are variations over a two-year period, since there were two differents sets of biennial surveys.
The investigators for the Canadian glaciers, together with their spon- soring agencies, are as follows: Athabasca/c - WSCC and I.A. Reid and J.D.G. Charbonneau (WSCO); Berm/a, Elkin/d, Fleur des Neiges/a, Griffin East and West Tongues/a, Staircase East and West Tongues/a, Thunderclap East and West Lobes/a, Tsoloss West Tongue/d and Caltha Lake/c - K.

Greenland (G)
Measuremer:ts of variations in the position of glaciers fronts in the PSFG-sense of measurements are not performed in Greenland. However, photogrammetrie determinations of the snout positions of Qamanârssup (lCH21002) sermia lead to the conclusion that this outlet was approxima- tely stationary between 1968 and 1980, whereas its northern neighbour, the outlet of lCH21002, started to increase its volume in the same period. Nordbogletscher (lAG05001) and its neighbour Nordgletscher (lAG07008) have been considerably increasing in volume since the 1940's; on the other hand, Valhaltindegletsehet (lAG05008-09) has apparently thinned slightly over the last few decades (Clement 1981, Andreasen et al. 1982). The main photogrammetrie investigations are made by N.T. Knudsen, Aarhus University, for the GGU.

22 CHAPTER 4 - MASS BALANCE STUDY RESULTS AND ADDENDA FROM EARLIER YEARS (TABLES C, CC AND CCC)
4.1 The Data
Mass balance study results are presented in the following tables: in Table C summary data are given for the years 1975-80, Table CC contains data from years prior to 1975 which have not, as yet, been published in a PSFG volume or corrected/updated values of previously published data, whilst more detailed data for mass balance versus altitude are given in Table CCC. Data in Tables C and CC were extracted from the completed "Mass Balance Study Results - Summary Data" standardized PSFG data sheets whilst the data in Table CCC were sent to the PSFG in various formats as no specific PSFG data form was prepared for this purpose.
A list of the type of data given in each of the Tables C, CC and CCC, together with an explanation of the abbreviations and symbols used can be found on the cover sheet of each table. Where the system of measurement (SYS) is given as STR, it can be assumed that balance quantities relate to BW, BS and BN respectively (stratigraphic system), whilst they relate to AC, AA and BA respectively for SYS = FXD (fixed- date system). Where the system is given as OTH (other) or ** (unspecified) the situation is admittedly ambiguous.
4.2 Sources of Data and Comments for the Various Countries.
Canada (CD)
Data for 15 Canadian glaciers are given in Table C and for 2 glaciers in Table CC. The investigators for these glaciers, together wi th their sponsoring agencies, are as follows: Alexander, Andrei, Sykora/Bridge, Helm, Place, Sentinel, Sykora, Yuri and Zavisha - O. Mokievsky-Zubok (NHR); Devon Ice Cap and South Ice Cap - R.M. Koerner (PCSP); Meighen Ice Cap - W.Paterson, K.C. Arnold and R.M. Koerner (PCSP), Peyto - J.M. Power (NHR); Barnes Ice Cap - R. LeB. Hooke and K.A. Brugger (UM); Baby Glacier - J. Alean (McGill, PCSP and GIETH); White Glacier - K. Wyss et al. (McGill, PCSP and GIETH).
23 Mass balance versus altitude data for 2 of the above glaciers are given in Table CCC. The investigators are the same as those given above.
There have been some changes in the Canadian mass balance programme since the last report (Fluctuations of Glaciers 1970-75). Some of the IHD projects have been terminated (e.q., Ram River glacier and Woolsey glacier) while others have been started. Included here for the first time are the results of a series of mass balance studies, undertaken in connection with hydroelectric developments in the Coast Mountains, in the Bridge River and Iskut River areas. A study of two glaciers in the Homathko River area commenced in the early 1980's.
The present report also includes some information covering the period prior to 1975-76 which was not reported earlier. Data on the mass balance of Meighen Ice Cap, measured since 1959, and the South Ice Cap of Melville Island, both missing from the last Canadian report, are included, together with somewhat more detailed information on the Devon Ice Cap and Peyto glacier.
Mass balance results for the Axel Heiberg glaciers (White and Baby) and for Coburg Island were collected (and are held by) the Geographical Institute, ETH Zürich (GIETH); White glacier data have been carefully reinterpreted by K. Wyss (1984). Measurements of mass balance have been made on Barnes Ice Cap along the trilateratian net flow line during each of the years covered by this report; the reduced data were made available by R. LeB. Hooke (UM). More detailed comments on Barnes Ice Cap investigations are given in Chapter 7.
On Ellesmere Island, studies of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf have been taken over by M. Jeffries and those on the small ice cap north of St. Patrick Bay by J. England. No data from these studies were made available for this report.
In 1980, four glaciers in the Torngat Mountains, Labrador - Superguk- soak, Minaret, Abraham and Hidden - were visited by R.J. Rogerson of Memorial University and mass balance investigations begun. It is hoped that data from these studies can be included in the next Canadian PSfG report.
24 U.S.A. (US)
Mass Balance data for 4 U.S. glaciers are given in Table C, for l of these glaciers in Table CC, and mass balance versus altitude data for 2 glaciers in Table CCC. (cf., also Chapter 7.) The investigators and the sponsoring agencies for these glaciers are: Gulkana and Wolverine - L.R. Mayo and D.C. Trabant (USGSF); Columbia - L.R. Mayo (USGSF) and M.F. Meier (USGST); South Cascade - R.M. Krimmel (USGST).
Greenland (G)
Data for Valhaltindegl, investigated by P. Clement (GGU), are given in Table C, and data for Nordbogletscher, also investigated by P. Clement, in Table CCC. (cf., also Chapter 7 for data on Qamanârssup serm'ia.)
The present line of glaciological observations started in 1977 and only three glaciers are covered by mass balance measurements for the period in question. Two of the three glaciers are outlets of the Inland Ice. This means that the magnitude of the glacier area and, hence, of the total mass balance cannot be given. Mass balance versus altitude data for Nordbogletscher (Table CCC) refer to parts of the ablation area only (hydrological basin of the glacier).
Norway (N)
Data for 13 Norwegian glaciers are given in Table C and mass balance versus altitude data for 9 glaciers in Table CCC. The individual inves- tigafors and sponsor ing agenc ies are .a s follows: Bondhusbreen, Hellstugubreen, Graasubreen, Nigardsbreen, Aalfotbreen, Hoegtuvbreen, Engabreen, Trollbergdalsbreen and Graabreen - unspecified members of NVE; Hardangerjökulen, Storbreen, Au. Broeggerbreen and M. Lovenbreen - unspecified members of NPI; Werenskioldbreen - M. Pulina, J. Pereyma and J. Kida (SUP).
25 Balance data for 1979-80 only are given for Werenskiold glacier and the investigators report that these are approximate. Ablation was calcu- lated from hydrometric measurements, together with stake measurements in the ablation area and observation of summer precipitation and evapo- ratio~.

Data were received for l Swedish glacier, Storglaciaeren, and are given in Table C. They were submitted by NGSU; the individual investigators were not specified.
France (F)
Data for 3 French glaciers are given in Table C. (cf., also Chapter 7.) Argentière and Saint Sorlin were investigated by unspecified members of CNRS, and Sarennes was investigated by F. Valla (CEMAGREF).
Switzerland (CH)
Mass balance data for 6 Swiss glaciers are presented in Table C and mass balance versus altitude data for 4 of these in Table CCC. The investi- gators and their sponsoring agencies are as follows: Rhone - M. Funk (GIETH); Grosser Aletsch - M. Aellen (VAW); Gries, Limmern, Plattalva and Silvretta - H. Siegenthaler, M. Aellen and H. Röthlisberger (VAW).
The mass balance data sets presented for the Gries, Limmern, Silvretta and Plattalva glaciers are the results of direct observations on stake networks. The sum of the annual mass changes, determined using direct glaciological observations (a change of method having been introduced in 1970), was checked against the total change in mass determined geodeti- cally from a comparison of maps. In order to do this, it was necessary to homogenise the observations made on the stakes, as well as the way of establishing the annual balances over the whole observation period. The revised values, differing slightly from those published in former PSFG volumes, are presented in Chapter 7 for the three glaciers Gries, Limmern and PlattaIva; the corresponding values were given in Volume III for Silvretta glacier.
26 For Aletsch glaciers (PSFG Nos 5,6 and 106), whose measurements relate to a whole complex of about 3 dozen glaciers (see Volume III), mass changes are derived from hydrological balances for calendar months and hydrological years (from October 1st to September 30th), using the equations and model described in earlier PSFG volumes. The balance model, calibrated geodetically for the period 1927-57, will soon have to be checked again for the next 30 year period.

42 CHAPTER 7 AND TABLE F - MISCELLANEOUS
This chapter includes important information which does not fit into the standard PSFG format. The intention is not to publish uncalibrated or unprocessed data, but to document index measurements in cases where more complex observations are not possible. Of primary concern here are remote glaciers (polar ice sheets) and glaciers which are systematically studied using reduced stake networks, and where statistical considera- tions or ice dynamics are applied (e.q., Glacier de Gébroulaz, France). In the case of Wolverine glacier (U.S.), the application of the combined system of mass balance terminology is demonstrated.
Canada (CD)
The following report on mass balance measurements on Barnes Ice Cap, 1975 to 1980 was sent to the PSFG by R. LeB. Hooke and K.A. Brugger (UM) .
Mass balance measurements have been made on Barnes Ice Cap with some regulari ty since 1962 (Loken and Sagar, 1967, and references therein). The most recent measurements were made on the south dome of the ice cap, utilizing a series of 30 to 40 stakes set along a flow line extending from the divide to the north margin of the dome. Other studies of characteristics of this flow line have been published by Holdsworth (1975), Hooke and others (1980), and Hooke and Hudleston (1980). The density of stakes was highest in the ablation area and in the areas around deep boreholes. In these latter areas, square strain nets with 100 m diagonals were usually placed around the holes, thus providing five measurement points in a relatively small area.
Accumulation on Barnes Ice Cap is usually in the form of superimposed ice. Firn only appears, with any regularity, within about two kilo- meters of the divide. During cold years, however, it may extend several kilometers further down glacier. Summer melting occurs over the entire south dome. Wherever firn is present, meltwater percolates down into it and refre~zes, filling any voids present. Thus it is unusual to find firn more than one or two years old; older layers have been saturated by percolating water and transformed into solid ice.
43 Near the margin, snow accumulates in a w ind-dr i ft wedge in which the snow is often 2 to 3 times thicker than elsewhere on the glacier (Hooke, 1973). Mass balance measurements have not been made in this wedge in the past. few years, but allowance is made for its presence in the specific winter and net balance c~lculations.
The technique used for the mass balance measurements is crude; the distance from the top of the stake to the snow surface was measured, and the snow thickness determined at a minimum of four places around each stake. In the accumulation area, an attempt was made to drive the probe deeper and thus determine the thickness of the firn, i f any. The firn thickness measurements were often inconsistent, however. Snow pits were excavated in one to three locations, and density and stratigraphic profiles measured. These pi ts normally penetrated any low to medium- density firn layers present.
The specific winter balance was determined by plotting snow depths as a function of distance along the flow line, drawing a line connecting the points, and determining the area under the line. Where several points were present (e.g., around a borehole), the average was taken. Snow pit density measurements were used to convert this volume to a water equivalent. As measurements were commonly made between late May and mid June, a half to one month before the end of the winter (accumulation) season, these estimates are likely to be 5% to 10% low. The random error due to the scatter of data is approximately ~5%. The winter snow balance thus measured is reported for the hydrological year (l Oct.- 30 Sept) in which the measurement was made, although it should be noted that accumulation usually starts on the glacier in late August or early September.
The net accumulation and ablation were calculated by determining the elevation of the firn (when present) and ice surfaces above an arbitrary reference and plotting these elevations against distance along the flow line. The reference used was the 1975 summer surface, which was entirely ice. Comparable points were then connected with straight lines, and the areas between successive surfaces were determined and used to estimate the volume (per metre width, normal to the flow line) of first year firn present, the volume of second year firn converted to ice by refreezing of percolating meltwater, and the volume of ice or
44 firn lost below the equilibrium line. These volumes were converted to water equivalent using measured firn densities and a density of 900 Mg/m3 for ice. The resulting figures were divided by the total length of the flow line (not just the length in the accumulation or ablation area) to obtain the specific net accumulation, specific net ablation and specific net balance for the hydrological year preceeding the measure- ment year. The specific summer balance was estim.ated from the difference between the specific winter balance and the specific net balance.
The total balance of the nearly circular south dome of Barnes Ice Cap could be estimated by multiplying the specific balance in various alti- tude intervals by the area of the ice cap within that interval, and summ~ng over all altitude intervals. However, the specific balance within any single altitude interval is a function of exposure, particu- larly at low elevations. More melting occurs on the south side of the dome (Loken and Sagar, 1967). Thus the uncertainty in such estimates would be large.
The values obtained by the methods described above are given in Table F l

Antarctica (AN)
East Antarctic Data
The following report and tables were sent to the PSFG by I. Allison, Antarctic Division, Australia.
Data presented for a number of sectors of the Antarctic ice sheet are of different format than that for other glaciers in this volume. This is a necessary consequence of the different spatial scales (drainage basins up to one million or more square kilometres), temporal scales (response time of tens of thousands of years) and type of budget (mass loss predominantly by iceberg calving with little ablation at the surface or bottom) of the Antarctic ice sheet.
The data presented in Tables F 15 to F 18 are estimates of the overall mass budget of the various drainage basins. Drainage basins have been delineated from compilations (such as the Scot t Polar Insti tute's Gla- ciological and Geophysical Folio of Antarctica) of topographic data from large-scale radio echo sounding programmes, and other sources .. Mass inputs are accumulation and, where relevant, mass flux across some arbitrary boundary into the defined area. The loss terms are mass flux out of the area and sometimes surface ablation and bottom melt. The mass flux estimates are possible because of recent measurement of ice thickness and ice sheet velocity, made mostly within the International Antarctic Glaciological Project (lAGP). The fluxes across large sec~ tians of the ice sheet (e.g., the 2000 m surface contour) have been estimated from surface velocity measurements only every 50 km or more and are subject to large errors. Similarly, the accumulation distribu- tion over the basins is derived from a few isolated measurements over short periods and the delineation of the area of the basins (from sur-
58 face contours) may also be subject to large error. The estimates of the various input and output terms may have errors approaching 100%.
Only the overall budget estimates are presented. The measurements from which these are derived and further discussion on errors can be found in the references cited.
Most of the drainage basins studied show a mass budget which is signifi- cantly positive, even with regard to the large errors. However, any consideration of the implications of this must also take into account the time scales. The measured ice sheet thickness and velocity and hence the calculated ice fluxes, represent the integrated dynamic effect of thousands of years of ice sheet environmental history. The accumula- tion measurements, however, are the means over at the most a few tens of years, and the record from some ice cores shows that accumulation rate can vary significantly on a time scale of tens of years or larger.
Even though the imbalance in the mass budgets are a large percentage of the total annual mass exchange, they represent only a very small change in surface elevation over huge areas, and are not detectable by present technologies. Because of this and the large response time of the Antarctic ice sheet, future data for large Antarctic drainage basins in this series will probably represent a refinement in the presented meas- urements rather than a direct measure of the fluctuations of the Antarctic ice sheet.

64 BONDHUSBREEN, SOUTHERN NORWAY, ·1 : 10,000 (Aerial photogrammetric map) B. Wold, Norwegian Water Resources and Electricity Board, Oslo
In connection with the hydro-electric power scheme collecting water from the ice cap Folgefonni, various glaciological studies were initiated. One of the more recent of these studies was done in connection with the subglacial water intake under Bondhusbreen, and it proved necessary to start mass balance investigations. A special photo flight was therefore arranged on 11 August 1979; the pictures were taken from 6,100 m a.a.L and the picture scale was approximately 1:30,000. The map was then con- structed by Bjoern S. Haga at Fjellanger Wider¢e A/S on a B-8 plotter. The ground control consisted of two triangulation points within the National network and five new tr iangulatian points established by the Norwegian Water Resources and Electricity Board.
The map is printed in 5 colours at a scale of 1:10,000, with contour intervals of 10 m on the glacier and 20 m elsewhere. Particular glacio- logical features, such as crevasses etc., have been specially marked. In addition, moraine ridges, large blocks, all triangulation points etc. are plotted. Both geographical and UTM coordinates are marked according to the recommendations from the International Symposium on Glacier Mapping held in ottawa in 1965. The reverse side of the map has some detailed information on the glacier, such as frontal variations since 1875, certain old photographs showing the glacier front taken from the same point in 1891, 1904 and 1971, and some information about the diversion system, etc.
65 HELLSTUGUBREEN, SOUTHERN NORWAY, l : 10,000 (Aerial photogrammetrie map) B. Wold, Norwegian Water Resources and Electricity Board, Oslo
The valley glacier Hellstugubreen in Jotunheimen was first mapped by Koller, Solheim & Werenskiold in 1941 using terrestrial photogrammetry, and Randi Pytte re-mapped it in 1962 us ì nq plan-table technique; this latter map was used for mass balance investigations during the period 1962-67. A photogram~etric map was constructed in 1968 by the Norwegian Polar Research Institute based upon aerial photographs taken that year. A new set of aerial photographs was taken on 26 September 1980 and a map constructed by Olav Liest¢l ~sing a Wild A-7 stereo plotter.
The map is printed at a scale of 1:10,000 with contour intervals of 10m on the glacier and 10m and SOm in the surrounding terrain. The map has UTM coordinates as well as geographical coordinates, and was made accor- ding to 'the recommendations from the International Symposium on Glacier Mapping in Ottawa in 1965. The map is printed in four colours.
References for the earlier maps, together with additional information are given on the reverse of the map.
66 AUSTRE MEMURUBRE, SOUTHERN NORWAY, l : 10,000 (Aerial photogrammetrie map) G. 0strem, Norwegian Water Resources and Electricity Board, Oslo.
In 1968, Austre Memurubre was mapped from vertical aerial photographs taken on 21 July 1966. The aerial photographs were originally taken for the Norwegian Geographical Survey to form a basis for a new, modern, topographical map series (1:50,000) of this part of southern Norway. Thus the plotting could be carried out independently for the purpose of making a glacier map and, consequently, particular glaciological features could be emphasized in the plotting procedure. Crevassed areas, moraine cover and predominant boulders are marked separately on the map. A large number of spot elevations are given for points which may be valuable for topographic orientation and triangulation on the glacier. Ice-free areas have been plotted with a minimum of detail.
The accuracy is estimated to be better than 2 m for relative altitudes, better than 5 m for absolute altitudes, and better than 5 m for horizon- tal positions.
UTM coordinates (zone 32) and some geographical coordinates are plotted in the map frame.

P. Kasser and H. Siegenthaler, Laboratory of Hydraulics, Hydrology and Glaciology (VAW), Zürich l. Introduction
The maps present some of the results from investigations carried out in connection with the technical consultancy work of the VAW for hydroelec- tric power companies. In the cases of Limmern and Plattalva glaciers, studied since 1944, measurements of precipitation and discharge from springs were combined with studies on the glacier mass balance in order to find out why the discharge volumes from the river, measured at the Pantenbrücke run-off gauging station, were much lower (by some 30%) than those computed on the basis of measurements in surrounding areas. The studies on Silvretta glacier, which started in 1959, were necessary in order to evaluate the available water mass in high altitude catchment basins. Gries glacier has terminated, since 1966, in an arti ficially dammed lake. For this glacier, hydro-glaciological studies were started in 1960 with two main aims: a) to predict the probability of a glacier advance as far as the dam site, as a function of time (cf. Bindschadler, 1981), and b) to estimate the frequency of particular annual ruo-o f f volumes. In addition to the studies outlined above, all these mapped glaciers belong to the network of long-term observations on glacier fluctuations in Switzerland (Kasser 1981).
The maps were analysed in order to get values of total changes in area, volume and mean thickness (computed from 100 m altitude intervals) as an overall check for the mass balance study results, which were obtained from glaciological measurements on stake networks installed on 4 of the 6 mapped glaciers. The main results of such comparative studie~ on Gries, Limmern, Plattlava and Silvretta glaciers have been published in the glaciological yearbooks of the Swiss Glacier Commission, in which
68 the maps were also originally published (Kasser et al. 1982, Siegenthaler 1983 and 1984).
2. The contents of the maps
The maps are printed in 6 colours at a scale of 1:10,000. All the glaciological measurement points are numbered and the.entire hydrologi- cal catchment basin is shown with contour intervals of 10 m, and extra contours at 5 m intervals in the very flat areas. The topography of the first survey is shown in black lines on all maps, and lakes are black hatched. The contours, glacier borders, crevasses and lake edges from the second survey are given in red, and the lake areas in blue. At intervals of 20 m, the areas between old and new contour lines of identical altitudes are shown in green (increase in glacier thickness) or in yellow (decrease in glacier thickness). The catchment basin is outlined in violet, as are all the measurement points on the glacier. The numbers with these points indicate the average annual specific mass variation for the time period between the two surveys and the horizontal flow velocity of the stakes for one particular year. The positions of the glacier margins are given for both surveys and all glaciers; the limits of firn and of fresh snow are given for both surveys in the case of Gries glacier, but only for the second survey for the other glaciers. Likewise, moraines and conspicuous boulders are shown for both surveys for Gries glacier only; these details are missing to some extent on the other maps. The survey stations on the glacier margins are shown in black.
3. Mass balance results
From the maps, volume and mean elevation changes were determined for each 100 m altitude interval. Averaged over the whole glacier, the mean annual elevation change, which is identical to the change in thickness, can be compared to the mean annual mass change or annual mass balance of the same period. The mass balance was determined independently from the measurements made on the stake networks. A comparison of the values obtained from both the geodetic and the glaciological methods is given in Table l, where the respective values are summarized as totals or annual means for the periods given for eac~ glacier (values for mass change are specific annual means). Detailed data for 100 m altitude
69 intervals are given in Tables CCC and D of this volume (cf. also Tables 17 to 20 in PSFG Volume I (Kasser 1967) or tables in publications cited earlier).
The general tendency and variability of mass change during the time period between the two surveys are indicated in Table 2 in terms of mean, maximum and minimum values of the annual mass balance, equilibrium line altitude and accumulation area ratio. These values result from the glaciological measurements on the stake networks. Detailed data for each year are published in the glaciological yearbooks (Kasser et al. 1982, Siegenthaler 1983 and 1984).

74 GEPATSCHFERNER 1971, l : 10,000 (Aerial/terrestrial photogrammetrie map) K. Brunner, Department of Cartography, Polytechnic Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany
The tongue of the Gepatschferner in the Oetztal Alps, Tyrol (Austria) was first surveyed in 1886 and 1896, and earlier surveys of the whole glacier took place in 1922, 1940 and 1953.
Survey 1971
The new map "Gepatschferner 1971", scale 1:10,000 is based mainly on a photogrammetrie aerial survey. The photo flight was carried out with a normal angle camera in August 1971. Coverage of the area of the Gepatschferner involved the production of five photo strips representing 27 photogrammetrie models (photo scale was about 1:15,000). In addi- tion, the southern Italian part of the glacier was surveyed by means of terrestrial photogrammetry in 1973.
The scale of the photogrammetrie stereoplotting was 1:7,500.
Cartography
The aim of the map was to give a detailed representation of the glacier, the ice-free land, and the exact limit of the active glacier. The areas of ice, firn and old snow are separated by the (temporary) firn edge and the old snow line. The colour coding on the map is as follows: (l) Black lines: planimetric representation and contours on rocky areas (2) Blue lines: contours on glacierized areas, limit of the active glacier, hydrographic features (3) Blue-green lines: crevasses (4) Grey lines: firn line and firn edge, contours on debris- covered areas (5) Brown lines: contours on vegetation-covered areas (6) Green tint: vegetation (7) Grey tint: rocky areas. The vertical interval o f the contour lines is 10m.
75 Glaciological results
In 1971, the surface area of the Gepatschferner (northern part) was 17.782km2 and the ratio Sc/Sa was 1.29 (corresponding to an AAR of 0.56). The southern part of the glacier had a aur f ace area of 3.842km2 in 1973. In 1971, the mean altitude of the firn line - as an approximation of the equilibrium line - was found to be 3055m a.s.l. The mean changes in the thickness of the Gepatschfern~r for the periods 1886 - 1896 - 1922 - 1940 - 1953 are given in the table on area, volume and thickness changes; corresponding data for the period 1953-71 can be found in PSFG Val.

Hintereisferner was survèyed on August 14 and 30, 1979 using an aircraft of the "Bundesamt für Eich- und Vermessungswesen", Vienna, which flew at an altitude of 6100 m a.a.L, Photographs of 23x23 cm were taken with a wide-angle lens of 15.2 cm focal length, and they overlapped by 60% longitudinally and by 8-40% laterally. The area evaluated extends from the lowest point in the Rofen valley at 2200 m a.s.l.to the peak of the Weisskugel at 3731 m, so that the average scale of the photographs varied from l:15,000 to 1:27,000.
The map was produced by H. Giersig at a scale of 1:10,000 with 10 m isohypses, using the colour blue for snow, ice and water and brown for all other surfaces. All points used in the trigonometric work done by H. Schneider have been entered on the map, as well as the meteorological stations and the precipitation gauges. Remnants of moraines from the glacier advances of about 1850 and 1920 have been mapped by G. Patzelt.
The map, being designed for glaciological work, does not speci fically indicate areas of rocks or of di fferent vegetation patterns. However, conspicuous rocks and boulders have been entered and are designated by the letter S. Footpaths and trails are represented by dotted lines, regardless of their dimension or state. Thin, broken lines separate grassland from bare ground wherever these features were clearly distin- guishable - the lines are therefore not necessarily continuous. East of the "Reutherweg", broken lines are used to show conspicuous, parallel features at the surface.
The firn edge and transient snow line have been entered east (14 August survey) and west (30 August survey) of the line connecting the Langtau- f'erer Spitze w ith the survey point "Vietoris".
The transition from bare ice to debris-covered ice is generally more gradual in nature than can be reproduced on a map. There are, however, places on Hintereisferner where it was justifiable to indicate such limits by a broken blue line - for example on the middle moraine between Langtauferer-Joch-Ferner and Hintereisferner. The margins of Hintereis-
77 ferner are heavily debris-covered. Along the left margin the glacier, by,its shape, is clearly distinguishable from the lateral moraine; however, on the right margin, the transition between active ice, stagnant ice and/or ice-free lateral moraine is less easy to define. As a result, the right margin of the active glacier tongue was assumed to coincide with the furrow of the surface runoff channel.
The broken blue borderline between ice and ice-free terrain encompasses ice or snow areas that may not be part of the glacier proper; such are avalanches that have accumulated at the glacier margin, or temporarily snow-covered areas that are ice-free in other years.
On 14 August, 1979, the transient snow line was situated in the altitude .interval 2790-2850 m a.s.l. By the end of the accumulation season on 21 September, it had retreated further, reaching a mean altitude of 2970m. The low position of the firn edge is explained by the positive mass balances in the two years previous: 1976/77 = +760 kg m-2, 1977/78 = +410 kg m-2, 1978/79 = -220 kg m-2.
Earlier maps of Hintereisferner by Blümcke and Hess (1:10,000, 1899) and Hess (1:10,000, 1924) have been supplemented by maps of the terminus alone (19~5, 1914, 1917, 1918, 1919, and 1922). For historic references and further details of the present map see Kuhn (1981).
The map was produced with support by the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

78 VERNAGTFERNER 1979, l : 10,000 (Orthophoto map) H. Rentsch, Commission for Glaciology, Bavarian Academy of Sciences, Munich
For .the production of the orthophoto map of Vernagtferner 1979, scale 1:10,000, photographs from the flight "Hintereisferner 1979" were used. Two printing originals were prepared, the first for the contour lines (at intervals of 20m) and planimetric representation (map frame, grid sections, survey points, map lettering and technical installations), and the seco.nd for the orthoPhoto. The photographs wer e found to be ver y suitable for differential rectification. Four of them had to be recti- fied in order to cover the whole area of the Vernagt- and Guslarferner. The aerial photographs were taken on 14 August, 1979 at midday. Their mean image scale was 1:20,000 (focal length 153mrn).
The stereoscopic evaluation of nine stereopairs was carried out with the analytical plotter Planicamp C-IDO, and the differential recti fication with the orthoprojector Orthocomp Z2. The Planicamp C-IDO and the Orthocomp Z2 (both made by Zeiss/West Germany) are connected to compu- ters (in both cases a Hewlett Packard 1000).
The reference data for the computation of the profiles (40 m intervals) for the differential rectification were recorded simultaneously with the one-line plotting of the contour lines. A slit aperture of 0.2mm x 4.0mm with a scanning speed of 20mm/sec was used for the projection by the orthoprojector. The four orthophotas were of good quality, and each of the four contributed nearly the same area to the map face.
The sheet assembly of the four orthophotas was carried out by a photo- technical procedure. A complete picture was made by projecting all four orthophotas adjacent to each other, so that the four imagescoincided along irregular, curved boundaries. A screening was done at the same time as the above projection. The print was done in black for the two copies on offset paper and art paper. The processes of reproduction reduced the contrast of the images considerably - a unicolour printed orthophoto cannot replace a photographic contact print.
79 Different methods for obtaining contour lines were compared for efficiency and quality under the following conditions:
mean image scale 1:20,000 mean slope 230 plotting scale 1:10,000 contour interval 20 m plotter Planicamp C-IDO with hand wheel operation
Method time/area Effectiveness l. one-line plotted 2.0 h/km2 faithful reproduction of the topo- contours graphy, regardless of terrain type
2. derived contours: 0.7 h/km2 only faithful reproduction of the a) from a digital- topography in gradually changing ized grid with a terrain 40 m grid width
b) same as a) with 2.4 h/km2 limited reproduction of the topo- additional record- graphy in steep, rugged terrain, ing of break lines but otherwise faithful repro- duction
The one-line plotted contours were used for the orthophotomap.

To prepare orthophoto maps is an economical alternative as regards the expensive and time-consuming construction of conventional topographical maps (so-called line maps). Orthophoto maps are widely used for glacio- logical studies because glaciologists are experienced in the interpreta- tion of aerial photographs.
Aerial photographs and differential rectification
A photo flight in August 1971 took normal angle photographs of high quality and covered the area of the Langtaler Ferner (Oetzaler Alps, Tyrol/Austria) with three photo strips. Orthophotas could be prepared using three photogrammetric models. For the differential rectification, an Orthoprojector Gl l of Carl Zeiss Co. (West Germany) was used accor- ding to the principle of central-perspective correlation by optical projection. The orthophotas were obtained using a strip width of 4 mm and a special slit aperture with a slit width of 0.3 mm at a scale of 1:8,000; the orthophotas did not show any distortion.
Screening and sheet assembly
Reproduction of orthophotas necessarily involves some loss in image quality. For the offset lithography, the photos were enlarged and then screened by a hal ftone screen with 60 lines per cm. (A larger screen density would have flattened the image.)
The screened orthophotas were assembled along the 2km-grid lines of the Austrian national qrì d, which was shi fted 100 metres to the north and which is marked with heavy black lines. There is no other way of obtaining perfect agreement along the edges of adjacent photos if this method of differential rectification is used and if there are no elements of cultural landscape in the photo.
81 Cartography
The cartographic' representation is achieved by the use of three colours: l) Grey: orthophoto image 2) Black: framework including grid intersection and graticule ticks, survey points, ablation stakes, lettering and contour lines (vertical interval 20m) 3) Blue tint: glacierized area (active glacier and dead ice). Stereoplotting gave the glacierized area and the contour lines.
Glaciological results
Que to the high quality of the images from the photo flight in 1971, it. is poss~ble to identi fy the structural characteristics o f the glacier surface very well. In particular, it is possible to discriminate between the areas of old snow, firn and ice. This leads to the following results: the area of the Langtaler Ferner in 1971 was 3.478km2; the mean altitude of the firn line - a close approximation to the equilibrium line - was 2895m a.a.Lj the ratio of accumulation area to ablation area (Sc/Sa) was 1.29, wh~ch corresponds to an accumulation area ratio (AAR) Q. f O.56.

83 CHANGES IN ELEVATION OF GLACIERS IN THE EASTERN ALPS 1969-1979; l : 20,000
R. Finsterwalder, Institute of Cartography, Technical University, Munich H. Rentsch, Bavarian Academy of Sciences, Munich
The map shows the changes in area of eight gla6iers in the Eastern Alps (Austria) during the period between 1969 (1971) and 1979. The contour lines (vertical intervallOO m) represent the latest stage. The mean annual change in thickness of the glacier as a function of altitude above sea level is displayed graphically for each glacier. The map of the eight glaciers in the Eastern Alps is based on aerial photogram- metric surveys.
On a separate sheet, the mean annual changes in surface elevation of ten glaciers in the Austrian Alps and three glaciers in the Bavarian Alps are shown for longer periods. The data are based on photogrammetrie surveys in the years 1889 (1892) - 1912 - 1921 (1920) - 1932 (1938) - 1950 (1949, 1953) - 1969 (1970, 1971) - 1979 (1977).

84 ISSIK GLACIER, PAMIR-E KALAN, AFGHANISTAN; 1:25,000 (Terrestrial photogrammetric map)
G. Patzelt, Institute for High Mountain Research, University of Innsbruck, Austria
This map is a product of the research expedition "Exploration Pamir 75" which was a private scienti fic undertaking sponsored by the Austr ian Alpine Club and the Austrian Council for the Promotion of Scienti fic Research. The aim of the expedition was to scientifically document and map an area of the Pamir-e Kalan (Great Pamir) which included the summits and the inhabited valley region of Wakhan-Darya in NE Afghanistan.
The terrestrial photogrammetry for this map of Northern and Southern Issik glaciers was carried out by R. Kosta and W. Kuschel between 1st and 18th August 1975. The trigonometrical starting point for the measurement of all positions and altitudes is P.6281 (Koh-.eHe laL) on the Afghan map 1:100,000. The photögrammetrically determined altitudes are accurate to within units of metres (Senarclens-Grancy and Kostka 1978). The cartography, carried out by G. Moser, Innsbruck, specifically emphasises glaciologically important details, and the rocky areas surrounding the glaciers are therefore only shown schematically in a homogeneous colour.
The Koh-e Kalan (Great Pamir) is the southern-most mountain chain of the Pamir range. The two Issik glaciers are situated on the southern side of the highest mountains in this chain (Koh-e Pamir 6320 m, Koh-e HelaI 6281 m). They drain into the Wakhan Darya, eventually forming the Amu Darya which runs into the Aral Sea.
The Issik glaciers display the form of composite valley glaciers typical for the mountains of central Asia. Their accumulation areas lie near steep, exposed flanks, accumulation thus arising mainly via snow and ice avalanches. The tributary glaciers then flow through canyon-like, deeply cut valleys and meet in the flat, debris-covered glacier tongues. Consequently, the hypsometric distribution is as follows: 66~~of the total area of Northern Issik glacier lies below the mean elevation of
85 the glacier; for Southern Issik glacier, the equivalent figure is 64~~' (ErnEin Table l).
By mapping the transient snow line and firn line from previous years, an estimation of the altitude of the firn edge could be made: from 4800 m on north-exposed slopes up to 5400 m on south-exposed slopes. This large difference (600 m) is characteristic for arid regions. The melting of ice is particularly slight due to the large amount of out- going radiation which occurs at night, and the altitude. Daily readings for the net ablation were made at 8 ablation st~kes on relatively cloud- free days; values between 4.2 cm and 3.5 cm were recorded. Significant melting only starts in the early hours of the afternoon. The penitentes forms in the snow and ice are indicators of the fact that evaporation is responsible for a large part of the ablation.
Lateral moraines and unweathered light-coloured debris show the positions of a glacial maximum of the Issik glaciers, which is thought to have occurred in the second half of the nineteenth century (coloured brown on the map). The area which has since then become ice-free constitutes on ly 5.6~ò o f the tota l area o f both glaciers today. This comparatively small reduction in area is a result of the debris cover at the glaciers' snouts; dead ice remains for a long time under such cover. The steep, active glacier snout of Southern Issik glacier is at an altitude of 4360 m, and that of Northern Issik glacier is at 4600 m.
The low values of ablation, ice velocity, mass loss and area loss indicate that the mass exchange is low for these glaciers which exist under cold-arid climatic conditions.

87 BATURA GLACIER, PAKISTAN, 1:60,000 (Terrestrial photogrammetrie map) Xie Zichu, Lanzhou Institute of Glaciology and Cryopedology, China
Field work for the production of this glacier map was part of the programme of a glacier expedition to Mt. Batura from the Lanzhou Inst.ìt.ute of Glaciology and Cryopedology, K.K. Academia Sinica, China in 1974-1975. The map is printed at a scale of 1:60,000, and took one and a half years to produce.
Base control and stereophotographs
A control network of about 45 km wide was established, incorporating a total of 25 survey stations. The most inaccurate triangle side had an error of 1/27,700. From the control points of the network, the main peaks of the drainage basin were measured by forward sectioning; thus the control network covered the whole Batura glacier.
Terrestrial stereophotographs were taken from 65 photo bases. The average height of the control points and photographic stations was 4000 m a.a.L,, and the average length of the photo bases was 320 m. The maximum photographic distance was about 14 km, the average 8 km. The photographic base line had an angular error of 1.1 seconds, and approxi- mately 7% of the terrain was not covered by the photographs.
88 CHAPTER 9 PERSPECTIVES FOR THE FUTURE
The revitalisation of the service and the publication of PSFG Volume IV within as short a time as possible have been the two tasks for the time since 1983. This being the case, there remained only a limited degree of freedom in discussions as to how these tasks should best be fulfilled. A number of scientific consultants and specialists, as well as the national correspondents, helped to find what is hoped is a satis- factory compromise between the speed required and the careful planning desired. However, it soon became clear to all colleagues involved that in the future the service needs a steadier development, and one invol- ving continuity as well as evolution.
Continui ty of operation is fundamental to a "permanent" service. Much of the time, effort and money involved with the production of one volume can be saved i f the technical expertise acquired, computer programmes developed, and international contacts established can be re-invested in the preparation of the next PSFG volume. Avoiding interruptions not only helps to keep an international service alive, but the existence of such a service also helps to keep local programmes going. In recent years, a number of programmes have had to be reduced or even terminated because of economic problems. An important task of the Service, there- fore, remains one of helping to ensure that an appropriate programme of world-wide glacier observations continues to exist and to serve as a basis for scientific and environmental considerations.
Evolution will have to take place in the technical aspects as well as in the general strategy of data collection on an international scale. Plans for the immediate future include : l) a reorganisation of the PSFG archive to contain bibliographic sources, 2) a reactivation of older glacier fluctuation data in computer-compatible form, and 3) the design of a simpler and more effective system of data collection. The latter point is the most urgent because preparation o f PSFG Volume V (Fluctuations of Glaciers 1980-85) will have to start soon; publication of this volume is scheduled for 1987/88 to bring the PSFG back to its original schedule. However, by this time the Service will be part of a new international glacier monitoring service.
89 The Permanent Service on the Fluctuations of Glaciers and the Temporary Technical Secretariat for the World Glacier Inventory are the two inter- national services which collect, process and publish standardized glacier data. By the end of 1985, it is planned to merge these two services to form a new world glacier monitoring programme. The new combined service is presently being so designed as to : l) speed up the documentation of representative mass balance studies, 2) provide a better overview of the more numerous observations on changes in glacier length, and 3) reach a global coverage by using satellite imagery for remote areas (Haeberli 1985). Within this framework it is planned to
- establish an annual or biennial publication series containing selected mass balance results (running time series); - investigate the possibilities of summarizing glacier fluctua- tion data (classification of glaciers, intercamparisan of glacier length variations); - carry out a feasibility study on the installation of a glacier observation programme for remote areas using satellite imagery; - continue the publication of general fluctuation data at 5- yearly intervals; - complete and update regional glacier inventories.
The corresponding activities and developments cannot be successfully realized without communication and feedback from the scientific community. Criticism and proposals from all colleagues who already use this present data compilation, or who may do so in the future, are therefore most gratefully received.

96 GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE OBSERVED GLACIERS 1975-80
NOTES ON THE COMPLETION OF THE DATA SHEET This data sheet should be completed for all the glaciers on which data are submi tted for inclusion in "Fluctuations of Glaciers 1975-1980".
l. Country or Territory Name of the country or territory where the glacier is located.
2. PSFG Glacier Number Numbering allows better identification of the glaciers and has proven to be very helpful when dealing with foreign glacier names, which can be very difficult to remember.
National correspondents are therefore asked to give numbers to glaciers on which data are submitted for Volume IV. It is intended that once a PSFG Glacier Number has been assigned to a glacier it will not be changed. Please, therefore, refer to earlier volumes of "Fluctuations of Glaciers" when assigning the PSFG Glacier Number.
For glaciers without a PSFG number, the following guidelines are given for assigning the number: PSFG Glacier Number = number with max. 4 numerical digits or except- ionally, 5 digits. In assigning the number to glaciers of present interest, it should be remembered that the need to number neighbouring glaciers may arise in the future. Accordingly, the numbering system which is adopted should leave "spare numbers". This could be done by using the left- hand digit(s) to denote geographical subdivisions, and the right-hand digit(s) to number single glaciers within each sub-division. The total number of digits used, 2-4, will depend on the size of the country and the deg~ee of sophistication in identifying the geogra- phical sub-divisions. A glacier may advance or retreat enough to make it necessary in future to identify individual parts, e.g., a single front might become several distinct fronts, or else part of the glacier might become separated from the main glacier. In these exceptional cases, the fi fth digit (alphabetic or numeric) should be used
97 Format: right justified on column position 4
3. Glacier Number in already published inventories Only where a glacier number has been assigned in connection with an already published National Glacier Inventory should this number be given.
Format: max. 13 digits, left justified.
4. Glacier Name The name of the glacier should be' written in small letters (except the initial letter) in order to prevent loss of orthographic accuracy, e.g., accents.
Format: max. 15 (exceptionally 17) column positions, left justified. If necessary, the name can be abbreviated, but if this is absolutely impossible, a second line may be used.
5. Geographical Location (general) By "general geographical location", we understand the indication of a very large geographical entity (e.g., a large mountain range or a large political sub-division) which gives a rough idea of the loca- tion of the glacier without requiring the use of an atlas or map. Examples: Western Alps, Southern Norway, Polar Ural, Tien Shan, Himalayas.
Format: similar to 4 (Glacier Name)
6. Geographical Location (more specific) A more specific geographical location should be given here (mountain group, drainage basin, etc.) which can easily be found on a small- scale map of the country ¿oncerned.
Format: similar, to 4 (Glacier Name)
7. Geographical Coordinates The geographical coordinates should refer to a point in the upper ablation area; for small glaciers, this point may possibly lie
98 outside the glacier.
Basically, the latitude and longitude should be indicated in sexage- simal degrees and minutes (no fractions of minutes) and be followed by the corresponding cardinal point.
Onl~ where a s~all glacier is unnamed may it be necessary to give the coordinates more accurately for clear identification. In such cases decimals of minutes - and not seconds - should be used.
8. Orientation The orientation of the accumulation area and of the ablation area should be given using the 8-point compass.
9. Highest Elevation Altitude of the highest point of the glacier and ,the year of survey.
10. Mean Elevation Altitude of the contour line which halves the area of the ~lacier and the year of survëy.
Il. Lowest Elevation Altitude of the lowest point of the glacier and the year of survey.
12. Area Total area of the glacier (in horizontal projection) and the year of survey.
13. Length Maximum length of the glacier measured along a flowline (in horizon- tal projection) and year of survey.
14. Rough Classificati6n This classification should be given in coded form according to "Perennial ice and snow masses" (Technical Papers in Hydrology, Unesco/IAHS, 1970). The following information should be given: - "Primary classi fication" (Digi t l) - "Form" (Digit 2) - "Frontal characteristics"COigit 3)
99 Format: The coded information should be given in the corresponding boxes (Digit l in first box, digit 2 in second box, digit 3 in third box) .
Code: (from: "Perennial ice and snow masses")

4. Surveyed since Year of the first known quantitative survey
5. Date of Initial Survey for Reported Period As "initial survey" we define the last survey, performed before 1976 where the position or the variation in the position of the glacier frönt was determined quantitatively.
The "initial" survey will normally be the 1975 survey. If no survey was carried out in 1975, or if only qualitative data are available for 1975, the "initial survey" will, of course, be an earlier quantitative one.
6. Variation (Previous Survey to 19.; Survey) (refers also to 9, 12,15 and 18) Variation in horizontal projection between previous survey and present survey.
Units: metres Sign: + advance - retreat
106 Missing data: If no data are available for a particular year, the corresponding data field should be deleted.
Qualitative data: If no quantitative data are available for a particular year, but qual- titative data are available, then variations should be denoted by using the following symbols placed in the left-most positions of the corresponding data field: ST : no apparent variation (stationary) + X: apparent advance (numerical value unknown) - X: apparent retreat ,(numerical value unknown) SN: glacier tongue is covered wi th snow so as to make survey impossible.
In the case of qualitative data, the variations will be understood to be with respect to the previous survey, whether quantitative or quali- tative.
7. Altitude of Snout/Lowest Point (refers also to 10, 13, 16 and 19) If the altitude of the lowest point of the glacier ~as also been measured, it should be indicated in the corresponding data field and the inappropri~te term (i.e., snout or lowest point) should be deleted. Missing data: dèlete the corresponding field"
8. Date of Survey (refers also to Il, 14, 17 and 20) For each per for med survey, please indicate the complete date (day, month, year). Missing data: No survey: Delete corresponding fields Day unknown or day and month unknown: Put question mark(s) in corresponding field(s).
21. Error Estimated maximum error
107 22. Method The following indications should be given here:
Geometrical definition of the variation, e.g.,: - Variation of the undermost point of the tongue of the glacier - Mean value of 6 linear measurements taken in the same azimuth from 6 reference points located in front of the glacier front - Change in the frontal area divided by the lengt~ of a fixed baseline across the glacier near the terminus - etc.
Measurement technigue, e.g., - Ground survey - Interpretation of photographs taken from the same point - Aerial/terrestrial photogrammetry - etc.
23. Addenda from Earlier Years If data from earlier years than 1975/76 are included, they should be reported on the "ADDENDA FROM EARLIER YEARS" data sheet.

111 MASS BALANCE STUDY RESULTS - SUMMARY DATA 1975-80
NOTES ON COMPLETION OF THE DATA SHEET The present data sheet tries to accomodate inherent ambiguities in mass balance data by providing several data fields. It is not expected that all fields on the data sheet can be completed as fully as possible.
The terminology used here follows mainly that given in the UNESCO/lASH publicai ton "Combined heat, ice and water balances at selected basins" (Technical Papers in Hydrology No.5, 1970, Appendix 2). Ta avoid confusion and to assure continuity of the reported data, the same terms are used as in Volume III. These terms, however, are deliberately not defined as precisely as they could be, because it remains the task of national correspondents to define the exact meaning of the given infor- mation as carefully as possible. The following reference is recommen- ded: Mayo, L.R., Meier, M.F. and Tangborn, W.V., (1972): A system to combine stratigraphic and annual mass balance systems: a contribution to the International Hy~rological Decade. Journal of Glaciology, Vol. Il, No. 62, P. 3- 14. Please try to use the symbols and definitions given in this reference. Examples: bm(s) area-averaged winter snow balance (corresponding to "specific winter balance" in the stratigraphic system).
SnCf) total net firnification (corresponding to "total net accumulation" in the stratigraphic system).
ba area-averged annual balance (corresponding to the "specific annual balance" in the fixed date system).
Extra terms not included in these publications will be defined in the text. l. Country or Territory Name of country or territory where the glacier is located
112 2. PSFG Glacier Number See notes on the completion of the data sheet "GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE OBSERVED GLACIERS".
3. Glacier Name The name of the glacier should be written in small letters (except initial letter) in order to pre~ent loss of orthographic accuracy, e.g., accents. Format: max. 15 (exceptionally 17) column positions, left justified. If necessary, the name can be abbreviated, but if this is absolutely impossible, .a second line may be used.
4. Surveyed since Year when measurement of mass balance started.
5. Time System Where it is not clear whether the method of measurement corresponds to the "stratigraphic" or to the "fixed date" system, the box for "other" should be marked and an appropriate comment made under "29. Remarks". Note that observations with the "combined system" contain more information than can be given in the data sheet.
6. Number of Measurement Points Number of measurement sites in the accumulation and ablation areas. Repeated measurements may be made at a single site for the purpose of obtaining an average value for the site but each site may be counted only once.
When the number of measurement points is not constant over the reported period, the range should be given. Format: left justified.
7. Beginning of Balance/Measurement Year Day and month of the beginning of the balance year (stratigraphic system), if known, or day and month of the beginning of the measure- ment year (fixed date system).
113 8. End of Winter Season Day and month of the end of the winter season (if known).
9. End of Balance/Measurement Year ,Day and month of the beginning of the balance year (stratigraphic system), if known, or day and mo~th of the beginning of the measure- ment year (fixed date system).
10. Winter Balance (total) ("total" means the integral of th~ point values over the total area of the glacier, expressed as the equivalent volume of water) Format: floating point Sign: if the printed sign "+" happens to be false in exceptional cases, it should be corrected clearly and a note added under "29. Remarks".
Il. Winter Balance (specific) (flspeçific" means "total" value divided by the total area of the glacier) Format: fixed point Sign: see "10. Winter Balance (total)"
12. 13. Summer Balance (total and specific) Similar to 10. and Il.
14. Net Accumulation (total) De f. : "net accumulation (total)." = total net/annual mass balance of the accumulation area (integral of the point values over the accumulation area) Format: floating point Sign: see 10.
15. Net Accumulation (specific)
De f'v t "net accumul at ì on (specific)" = "net accumulation '(total)" divided by the area of the accumulation area. Format: fixed point
114 16. 17. Net Ablation (total and specific) Similar to 14. lnd 15.
18. 19. Net/Annual Balance (total and specific) Similar to 10. and ll~ Sign: put the correct sign in th~ sign box + : mass increase - : mass decrease
ZO. Accumulation Area Format: floating point
Zl. Ablation Area Format: decimal point in the same column position as for ZO.
~t~¡;:t
ZZ. Total Area Format: decimal point in the same column position as for ZO¡ and Zl.
'Z3. Eguilibrium Line/Annual Eguilibrium Line Mean altitude (averaged over the glacier) of the equilibrium line/annual equilibrium line.
Z4. Firnline
Mean altitude (averag~d over the glacier) of the firnline~ Firnline: transient snowline at the time of minimum extent of the snow cover.
Z5. Date of Firnline Day and month of time of mìnimum extent of the snow cover.
Z6. Addenda from earlier years If data from earlier years than 1975/76 are included, they should be reported on the "ADDENDA FROM EARLIER YEARS" data sheet.
115 27. Investigator(s)' Name(s) of the persones) or agency doing the field work and/or name(s) of the persones) or agency processing the data.
28. Sponsoring Agency Full name, abbreviation and address of the agency where the data are held. Format: max. 10 column positions for the abbreviation.
29. Remarks Any important information or comments not included above may be given here. If a regular survey has been discontinued for. some reason, this should be reported here.
30. Hydrometeorological Data (on the back of the data sheet) Self-explanatory.
