  bibo_abstract:
  - Rock debris partially covers glaciers worldwide, with varying extents and distributions,
    and controls sub‐debris melt rates by modifying energy transfer from the atmosphere
    to the ice. Two key physical properties controlling this energy exchange are thermal
    conductivity (k) and aerodynamic roughness length (z0). Accurate representation
    of these properties in energy‐balance models is critical for understanding climate‐glacier
    interactions and predicting the behavior of debris‐covered glaciers. However,
    k and z0 have been derived at very few sites from limited local measurements,
    using different approaches, and most model applications rely on values reported
    from these few sites and studies. We derive k and z0 using established and modified
    approaches from data at three locations on Pirámide Glacier in the central Chilean
    Andes. By comparing methods and evaluating melt simulated with an energy‐balance
    model, we reveal substantial differences between approaches. These lead to discrepancies
    between ice melt from energy‐balance simulations and observed data, and highlight
    the impact of method choice on calculated ice melt. Optimizing k against measured
    melt appears a viable approach to constrain melt simulations. Determining z0 seems
    less critical, as it has a smaller impact on total melt. Profile aerodynamic method
    measurements for estimating z0, despite higher costs, are independent of ice melt
    calculations. The large, unexpected differences between methods indicate a substantial
    knowledge gap. The fact that field‐derived k and z0 fail to work well in energy‐balance
    models, suggests that model values represent bulk properties distinct from theoretical
    field measurements. Addressing this gap is essential for improving glacier melt
    predictions.@eng
