Positive mass budgets of high-altitude and debris-covered fragmented tributary glaciers in Gangotri Glacier System, Himalaya

Glacier-wide mass balances (MBs) of the Gangotri, Chaturangi, Raktavaran, Meru, and Gangotri Glacier System are reconstructed with a temperature-index (T-index) model using bias-corrected ERA5 data at a daily temporal resolution over 1979–2020. The model output is calibrated against available geodet...
