text: Glacier melt sustains water discharge from mountain basins during droughts,
but ongoing glacier retreat threatens this fundamental capacity. Here, we assess
the response of glaciers in the Southern Andes to one of the most severe, persistent,
and extensive droughts on record in South America (2010-present), and to projected
end-of-century megadroughts. Using glacio-hydrological numerical simulations,
we show that despite a mean annual precipitation deficit of 36%, glacier runoff
in 2010-2019 remained almost unaltered compared to the preceding decade (2000-2009),
sustained by a 10% loss of total ice volume. However, simulations of future glacier
evolution indicate that annual and summer glacier runoff could decline by up to
20 ± 11% and 48 ± 6%, respectively, during end-of-century megadroughts compared
to pre-2010 levels. Our results project a weakening of the glacier’s buffering
role against precipitation deficits during extreme droughts, increasing water
scarcity for ecosystems and livelihoods in the mountain regions of South America.

text: 'Mountain glaciers offer opportunities to observe boundary layer exchanges
in conditions characterized by predominantly stable stratification, thermally
driven winds, and varying surface roughness. Logistical challenges involved in
instrumenting glacier surfaces mean that in situ observations remain relatively
scarce, limiting the use of this outdoor laboratory. The second Hintereisferner
Experiment (HEFEX II) was carried out on an Austrian Alpine glacier during summer
2023. This collaborative endeavor, involving 12 institutions from Austria, France,
Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, represents an unprecedented set
of observations of glacier microclimate. Instrumentation on the glacier surface
consisted of eight 3-m and two 5-m weather stations equipped with multilevel eddy
covariance systems and auxiliary instrumentation, and eight additional lower-specification
weather stations. These operated successfully for 26 days with minimal data gaps.
During a 3-day intensive observational period, additional instrumentation was
deployed: a short-path ultrasonic anemometer installed very close to the glacier
surface; a high-speed thermal camera capturing high-resolution boundary layer
heat transport at the glacier centerline on a synthetic screen; 3D sampling of
the glacier boundary layer using two meteorological UAVs; and a Streamline XR
Doppler lidar capturing the structure of the above-valley atmosphere. These novel
datasets are valuable for improving understanding of glacier–atmosphere exchange
processes, the role of glaciers in valley circulation, and how both might be affected
by continued climate change and glacier recession. Here, we detail the scientific
goals and implementation of the campaign, describe the general weather conditions,
and present first insights into what the observations reveal about the glacier
boundary layer features observed during the campaign.'

text: Glaciers are often located in steep mountain settings and avalanches from
surrounding slopes can strongly influence snow accumulation patterns on their
surface. This effect has however never been quantified for more than a few glaciers
and the impact on the future evolution of glaciers is unclear. We coupled an avalanche
and a glacier model to estimate the contribution of avalanches to the accumulation
of all glaciers in the world and how this affects their evolution throughout the
21st century. Globally, 3% of the snow accumulation on glaciers comes from avalanches
and 1% is removed by avalanches. This net contribution varies between regions
and glaciers, with a maximum of 15% for New Zealand. Accounting for avalanches
modifies the altitudinal pattern of glacier mass balance and the projected evolution
of individual glaciers. The main effects include (1) a longer persistence of small
glaciers, with for example three times more ice retained by glaciers smaller than
1 km2 in Central Europe under a low-emission scenario, and (2) an increased sensitivity
of high-elevation accumulation zones to future warming. We anticipate the relative
influence of avalanches to increase in the future and advocate for a better monitoring
of this process and representation in glacier models.

text: 'Ice cliffs and supraglacial ponds are key drivers of mass loss on debris-covered
glaciers. However, the relationship between melt ponds and adjacent ice cliffs
has not been fully explored. We investigated the seasonal drainage patterns of
a melt pond on the debris-covered Zhuxi Glacier in southeast Tibet and estimated
the mass loss of its adjacent ice cliff during 2023-2024. Using hourly time-lapse
photogrammetry we built a series of high-resolution point clouds to quantify the
evolution of the ice cliff-pond system. Our findings indicate that subaerial melting
and undercutting were the primary mechanisms of ice cliff mass loss during summer.
In winter when the pond water level dropped, ice cliff calving became the dominant
mode of ice loss. As the water level rose in spring, calving and subaerial melting
occurred simultaneously and ice loss from calving accounted for approximately
19.5 % of total ice loss from February to July 2024. Our results reveal the transitional
state of this ice cliff-pond system, exhibiting characteristics of both melt hotspots
and lake-terminating calving fronts, and highlight the interplay between seasonal
drainage-refill pond and differing modes of ice loss on adjacent ice cliff. Future
research should focus on additional high-resolution monitoring of similar systems
and incorporation of ice cliff-pond dynamics in glacier-scale numerical models. '

text: The mountain cryosphere and groundwater play pivotal roles in shaping the
hydrological cycle, yet their connectivity remains incompletely understood. Current
knowledge on meltwater recharge and consequent groundwater discharge processes
is better developed for snow–groundwater connectivity than for glacier–groundwater
connectivity. Estimates of meltwater recharge vary considerably, which is probably
a function of not only inherent catchment characteristics but also of the different
spatio-temporal scales involved and the uncertainties in the methods used. This
hinders a comprehensive understanding of the mountain water cycle. As glaciers
retreat, permafrost thaws and snowpack diminishes, the relative importance of
mountain groundwater is expected to increase. However, shifting and declining
recharge from the cryosphere may decrease absolute groundwater amounts and fluxes
with as-yet unknown effects on catchment-scale hydrological processes. We therefore
stress the need to better quantify mountain cryosphere–groundwater connectivity
to predict climate change impacts on mountain water supply and to support sustainable
water resource management of downstream socio-ecological systems.

text: High elevation headwater catchments are complex hydrological systems that
seasonally buffer water and release it in the form of snow and ice melt, modulating
downstream runoff regimes and water availability. In High Mountain Asia (HMA),
where a wide range of climates from semi-arid to monsoonal exist, the importance
of the cryospheric contributions to the water budget varies with the amount and
seasonal distribution of precipitation. Losses due to evapotranspiration and sublimation
are to date largely unquantified components of the water budget in such catchments,
although they can be comparable in magnitude to glacier melt contributions to
streamflow. 
Here, we simulate the hydrology of three high elevation headwater
catchments in distinct climates in HMA over 10 years using an ecohydrological
model geared towards high-mountain areas including snow and glaciers, forced with
reanalysis data. 
Our results show that evapotranspiration and sublimation
together are most important at the semi-arid site, Kyzylsu, on the northernmost
slopes of the Pamir mountain range. Here, the evaporative loss amounts to 28%
of the water throughput, which we define as the total water added to, or removed
from the water balance within a year. In comparison, evaporative losses are 19%
at the Central Himalayan site Langtang and 13% at the wettest site, 24K, on the
Southeastern Tibetan Plateau. At the three sites, respectively, sublimation removes
15%, 13% and 6% of snowfall, while evapotranspiration removes the equivalent of
76%, 28% and 19% of rainfall. In absolute terms, and across a comparable elevation
range, the highest ET flux is 413 mm yr-1 at 24K, while the highest sublimation
flux is 91 mm yr-1 at Kyzylsu. During warm and dry years, glacier melt was found
to only partially compensate for the annual supply deficit.

text: Mountains are important suppliers of freshwater to downstream areas, affecting
large populations in particular in High Mountain Asia (HMA). Yet, the propagation
of water from HMA headwaters to downstream areas is not fully understood, as interactions
in the mountain water cycle between the cryo-, hydro- and biosphere remain elusive.
We review the definition of blue and green water fluxes as liquid water that contributes
to runoff at the outlet of the selected domain (blue) and water lost to the atmosphere
through vapor fluxes, that is evaporation from water, ground, and interception
plus transpiration (green) and propose to add the term white water to account
for the (often neglected) evaporation and sublimation from snow and ice. We provide
an assessment of models that can simulate the cryo-hydro-biosphere continuum and
the interactions between spheres in high mountain catchments, going beyond disciplinary
separations. Land surface models are uniquely able to account for such complexity,
since they solve the coupled fluxes of water, energy, and carbon between the land
surface and atmosphere. Due to the mechanistic nature of such models, specific
variables can be compared systematically to independent remote sensing observations
– providing vital insights into model accuracy and enabling the understanding
of the complex watersheds of HMA. We discuss recent developments in spaceborne
earth observation products that have the potential to support catchment modeling
in high mountain regions. We then present a pilot study application of the mechanistic
land surface model Tethys & Chloris to a glacierized watershed in the Nepalese
Himalayas and discuss the use of high-resolution earth observation data to constrain
the meteorological forcing uncertainty and validate model results. We use these
insights to highlight the remaining challenges and future opportunities that remote
sensing data presents for land surface modeling in HMA.

text: The near-surface boundary layer can mediate the response of mountain glaciers
to external climate, cooling the overlying air and promoting a density-driven
glacier wind. The fundamental processes are conceptually well understood, though
the magnitudes of cooling and presence of glacier winds are poorly quantified
in space and time, increasing the forcing uncertainty for melt models. We utilize
a new data set of on-glacier meteorological measurements on three neighboring
glaciers in the Swiss Alps to explore their distinct response to regional climate
under the extreme 2022 summer. We find that synoptic wind origins and local terrain
modifications, not only glacier size, play an important role in the ability of
a glacier to cool the near-surface air. Warm air intrusions from valley or synoptically-driven
winds onto the glacier can occur between ∼19% and 64% of the time and contribute
between 3% and 81% of the total sensible heat flux to the surface during warm
afternoon hours, depending on the fetch of the glacier flowline and its susceptibility
to boundary layer erosion. In the context of extreme summer warmth, indicative
of future conditions, the boundary layer cooling (up to 6.5°C cooler than its
surroundings) and resultant katabatic wind flow are highly heterogeneous between
the study glaciers, highlighting the complex and likely non-linear response of
glaciers to an uncertain future.

text: 'Arctic tidewater glaciers are retreating, serving as key indicators of global
warming. This study aims to assess how subglacial hydrology affects glacier front
retreat by comparing two glacier–fjord models of the Hansbreen glacier: one incorporating
a detailed subglacial hydrology model and another simplifying the subglacial discharge
to a single channel centered in the flow line. We first validate the subglacial
hydrology model by comparing its discharge channels with observations of plume
activity. Simulations conducted from April to December 2010 revealed that the
glacier front position aligns more closely with the observations in the coupled
model than in the simplified version. Furthermore, the mass loss due to calving
and submarine melting is greater in the coupled model, with the calving mass loss
reaching 6 Mt by the end of the simulation compared to 4 Mt in the simplified
model. These findings highlight the critical role of subglacial hydrology in predicting
glacier dynamics and emphasize the importance of detailed modeling in understanding
the responses of Arctic tidewater glaciers to climate change.'

text: High Mountain Asia (HMA) is among the most vulnerable water towers globally
and yet future projections of water availability in and from its high-mountain
catchments remain uncertain, as their hydrologic response to ongoing environmental
changes is complex. Mechanistic modeling approaches incorporating cryospheric,
hydrological, and vegetation processes in high spatial, temporal, and physical
detail have never been applied for high-elevation catchments of HMA. We use a
land surface model at high spatial and temporal resolution (100 m and hourly)
to simulate the coupled dynamics of energy, water, and vegetation for the 350
km2 Langtang catchment (Nepal). We compare our model outputs for one hydrological
year against a large set of observations to gain insight into the partitioning
of the water balance at the subseasonal scale and across elevation bands. During
the simulated hydrological year, we find that evapotranspiration is a key component
of the total water balance, as it causes about the equivalent of 20% of all the
available precipitation or 154% of the water production from glacier melt in the
basin to return directly to the atmosphere. The depletion of the cryospheric water
budget is dominated by snow melt, but at high elevations is primarily dictated
by snow and ice sublimation. Snow sublimation is the dominant vapor flux (49%)
at the catchment scale, accounting for the equivalent of 11% of snowfall, 17%
of snowmelt, and 75% of ice melt, respectively. We conclude that simulations should
consider sublimation and other evaporative fluxes explicitly, as otherwise water
balance estimates can be ill-quantified.

text: Understanding the response of Himalayan glaciers to global warming is vital
because of their role as a water source for the Asian subcontinent. However, great
uncertainties still exist on the climate drivers of past and present glacier changes
across scales. Here, we analyse continuous hourly climate station data from a
glacierized elevation (Pyramid station, Mount Everest) since 1994 together with
other ground observations and climate reanalysis. We show that a decrease in maximum
air temperature and precipitation occurred during the last three decades at Pyramid
in response to global warming. Reanalysis data suggest a broader occurrence of
this effect in the glacierized areas of the Himalaya. We hypothesize that the
counterintuitive cooling is caused by enhanced sensible heat exchange and the
associated increase in glacier katabatic wind, which draws cool air downward from
higher elevations. The stronger katabatic winds have also lowered the elevation
of local wind convergence, thereby diminishing precipitation in glacial areas
and negatively affecting glacier mass balance. This local cooling may have partially
preserved glaciers from melting and could help protect the periglacial environment.

text: The presence of a developed boundary layer decouples a glacier's response
from ambient conditions, suggesting that sensitivity to climate change is increased
by glacier retreat. To test this hypothesis, we explore six years of distributed
meteorological data on a small Swiss glacier in the period 2001–2022. Large glacier
fragmentation has occurred since 2001 (−35% area change up to 2022) coinciding
with notable frontal retreat, an observed switch from down‐glacier katabatic to
up‐glacier valley winds and an increased sensitivity (ratio) of on‐glacier to
off‐glacier temperature. As the glacier ceases to develop density‐driven katabatic
winds, sensible heat fluxes on the glacier are increasingly determined by the
conditions occurring outside the boundary layer of the glacier, sealing the glacier's
demise as the climate continues to warm and experience an increased frequency
of extreme summers.

text: "%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\r\n GLACIER METEOROLOGICAL DATA\r\n
\ SWISS ALPS -2022\r\n%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%\r\nData gathered
and structured by Thomas Shaw (WSL, Switzerland (until Oct 2022)).\r\n\r\nOn and
off-glacier meteorological data were gathered and analysed as part of a Marie-Curie
project 'TEMPEST' (tempestglacier.com).\r\nThe dataset consists of hourly low-cost
AWS (Davis Vantage Pro2) and simple temperature ('T-')logger (Onset TidBitv2)
sensor records on three glaciers in the Swiss Alps (Canton Valais).\r\n\r\nThe
glaciers are:\r\nHaut Glacier d'Arolla (45.967°N, 7.526°E)\r\nGlacier d'Otemma
(45.956°N, 7.454°E)\r\nGlacier du Corbassière (45.975°N, 7.303°E)\r\n\r\nData
are provided in individual Excel files per glacier that contain all hourly data
for the sub-period of comparison (11 August-18 September, 2022).\r\nData are quality
controlled and checked for obvious errors. Any uncertain values are set to NaN.\r\nAir
temperature data at 'T-Logger' stations were corrected for heating errors using
the comparison of measurements in artificially (AWS) and naturally ventilated
(T-Logger) radiation shields on Arolla and Corbassiere glaciers.\r\nA multiple
linear regression model was applied to estimate these differences at all T-Loggers
on all glaciers as a function of incoming shortwave radiation (MeteoSwiss station-derived)
and wind speed (measured at AWS).\r\n\r\nEach Excel file contains a 'META' tab
for simple metadata related to station locations (latitude 'LAT' (°), longitude
'LON' (°), elevation 'ELE' (m a.s.l.) and flowpath length 'FPL' (m)) and a 'DATA'
tab for the hourly data. \r\nSuffixes to the station names in each column provide
the variable measured at that site:\r\n'TA' - 2m air temperature (°C)\r\n'TA_Hi'
- Maximum air temperature for timestep (°C)\r\n'TA_Lo' - Minimum air temperature
for timestep (°C)\r\n'RH' - 2m relative humiditiy (%)\r\n'FF' - Wind speed (m
s^-1)\r\n'FF_Hi' - Maximum wind speed for timestep (m s^-1)\r\n'FF_Lo' - Minimum
wind speed for timestep (m s^-1)\r\n'DIR' - Wind direction (°)\r\n'DEW' - Dewpoint
temperature (°C)\r\n'PRESS' - Air pressure (mbar)\r\n'CHILL' - Calculated wind
chill temperature (°C)\r\n'Heat_idx' - Calculated heat index (°C)\r\n'THSW' -
A calculated index that uses humidity and temperature like for the Heat Index,
but also includes the heating effects of sunshine and the cooling effects of wind
(like Wind Chill) to calculate an apparent temperature of what it \"feels\" like
out in the shade\r\n\r\nWind speeds and direction measured at off-glacier sites
'OG' are for the lower off-glacier station ('OG_Low'). "
