Summary: The annual glacier mass balance of Hintereisferner in the Oetztal Alps is measured since 1.10.1952 with the direct glaciological method in the fixed date system (1.10. to 30. 09. of the following year). The accumulation of snow is measured by determination of the water equivalent in 6 snow pits, the ice ablation is measured with about 45 stakes drilled into the ice. Results are the annual net mass balance in kg, the total accumulation and ablation, the glacier area and the portions of the area which are subject to ablation and accumulation, the elevation of the equilibrium line and the specific mass balance in kg m-2 (= mm w.e.). The accumulation during the winter is determined by the 1 May. The project homepage is located at imgi.uibk.ac.at.
The project currently is funded by the Hydrographischer Dienst der Abteilung Wasserwirtschaft des Amtes der Tiroler Landesregierung and carried out by the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics of the University of Innsbruck.
