  bibo_abstract:
  - Peruvian glaciers are important contributors to dry season runoff for agriculture
    and hydropower, but they are at risk of disappearing due to climate change. We
    applied a physically based, energy balance melt model at five on‐glacier sites
    within the Peruvian Cordilleras Blanca and Vilcanota. Net shortwave radiation
    dominates the energy balance, and despite this flux being higher in the dry season,
    melt rates are lower due to losses from net longwave radiation and the latent
    heat flux. The sensible heat flux is a relatively small contributor to melt energy.
    At three of the sites the wet season snowpack was discontinuous, forming and melting
    within a daily to weekly timescale, and resulting in highly variable melt rates
    closely related to precipitation dynamics. Cold air temperatures due to a strong
    La Niña year at Shallap Glacier (Cordillera Blanca) resulted in a continuous wet
    season snowpack, significantly reducing wet season ablation. Sublimation was most
    important at the highest site in the accumulation zone of the Quelccaya Ice Cap
    (Cordillera Vilcanota), accounting for 81% of ablation, compared to 2%–4% for
    the other sites. Air temperature and precipitation inputs were perturbed to investigate
    the climate sensitivity of the five glaciers. At the lower sites warmer air temperatures
    resulted in a switch from snowfall to rain, so that ablation was increased via
    the decrease in albedo and increase in net shortwave radiation. At the top of
    Quelccaya Ice Cap warming caused melting to replace sublimation so that ablation
    increased nonlinearly with air temperature.@eng
