  bibo_abstract:
  - Ice cliffs have been identified as a reason for higher ablation rates on debris-covered
    glaciers than are implied by the insulation effects of the debris. This study
    aims to improve our understanding of cliff backwasting, and the role of radiative
    fluxes in particular. An energy-balance model is forced with new data gathered
    in May and October 2013 on Lirung Glacier, Nepalese Himalaya. Observations show
    substantial variability in melt between cliffs, between locations on any cliff
    and between seasons. Using a high-resolution digital elevation model we calculate
    longwave fluxes incident to the cliff from surrounding terrain and include the
    effect of local shading on shortwave radiation. This is an advance over previous
    studies, that made simplified assumptions on cliff geometry and radiative fluxes.
    Measured melt rates varied between 3.25 and 8.6 cm d−1 in May and 0.18 and 1.34
    cm d−1 in October. Model results reproduce the strong variability in space and
    time, suggesting considerable differences in radiative fluxes over one cliff.
    In October the model fails to reproduce stake readings, probably due to the lack
    of a refreezing component. Disregarding local topography can lead to overestimation
    of melt at the point scale by up to ∼9%.@eng
