Description :
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the energy fluxes that drive the melt process on Storglaciären, located in the Kebnekaise massif. A case study of heat-budget calculations for a 40 day period in summer 1994 is presented. Some results from the earlier project are used for the calculations of the transports of sensible and latent heat between the atmosphere and the glacier surface.
