Estimation of the total sub-debris ablation from point-scale ablation data on a debris-covered glacier

Glaciological ablation is computed from point-scale data at a few ablation stakes that are usually regressed as a function of elevation and averaged over the area-elevation distribution of a glacier. This method is contingent on a tight control of elevation on local ablation. However, in debris-cove...
