Simulation of Long-Term Changes of the Equilibrium Line Altitude in the Central Chilean Andes Mountains Derived From Atmospheric Variables During the 1958–2018 Period

Simulation of Long-Term Changes of the Equilibrium Line Altitude in the Central Chilean Andes Mountains Derived From Atmospheric Variables During the 1958–2018 Period

Interannual variability and trends of the Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) in the Andes mountains can be modeled using an empirical relationship between the annual average of the 0°C isotherm altitude (ZIA) and the annual precipitation accumulated in mountain areas. Based on updated daily radiosonde...
