The annual glacier mass balance of Kesselwandferner 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 mass balance is measured with about 10 stakes. 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 project homepage is located at imgi.uibk.ac.at. The project currently is funded by the Commission for Geophysical Sciences of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and carried out by the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics of the University of Innsbruck.
