Calculate Glacier Mass Balance



Formula

The formula to calculate the glacier mass balance (MB) is:

\[ MB = A - B \]

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the accumulation (A) is 500 units and the ablation (B) is 300 units. Using the formula:

\[ MB = 500 - 300 \]

We get:

\[ MB = 200 \]

So, the glacier mass balance is 200 units.

Mass and Balance Calculations

Definition: Mass balance calculations involve determining the balance between the input and output of mass in a system.

Formula: \( \text{Mass Balance} = \text{Mass In} - \text{Mass Out} \)

Example: \( \text{Mass Balance} = 5000 - 4500 \)

How to Calculate Mass Balance

Definition: Calculating mass balance involves determining the difference between the mass entering and leaving a system.

Formula: \( \text{Mass Balance} = \text{Mass In} - \text{Mass Out} \)

Example: \( \text{Mass Balance} = 6000 - 5500 \)
