Mapping Surface Temperatures on a Debris-Covered Glacier With an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
A layer of debris cover often accumulates across the surface of glaciers in active mountain ranges with exceptionally steep terrain, such as the Andes, Himalaya, and New Zealand Alps. Such a supraglacial debris layer has a major influence on a glacier's surface energy budget, enhancing radiatio...
