Snow accumulation is determined by calculating the water equivalent in snow pits and soundings, while ice melt is measured using ablation stakes. Results include the annual net mass balance, total accumulation and ablation, equilibrium line altitude and the specific mass balances per year and per winter- and summer season. The project is funded by the Hydrological Service federal state of Salzburg. New data will be added every year. 12.58722 12.58722 47.13194000000009 47.13194000000009 12.58722 47.13194000000009 2017-10-01T00:00:00 2025-09-30T00:00:00 16 CC-BY-4.0 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Accumulation area | Sc | Mass balance in accumulation area | Bc | Specific mass balance in the accumulation area | bc | Ablation area | Sa | Mass balance in ablation area | Ba | Specific mass balance in the ablation area | ba | Total area | S | Mass balance, total | B | Specific mass balance | b | Specific mass balance, summer | bs | Specific mass balance, winter | bw | >3000 = >GN: ELA above summit | Equilibrium line altitude | ELA | Mass balance, summer, geodetic | Bs | Mass balance, winter, geodetic | Bw | Elevation, maximum | Elev max | Elevation, minimum | Elev min | Total area of the altitude zone | SaZ | Mass balance, total of the altitude zone | BaZ | Specific mass balance of the altitude zone | baZ | Specific mass balance of the altitude zone, winter | bwaZ | Specific mass balance of the altitude zone, summer | bsaZ | Mass balance, total of the altitude zone, winter | BwaZ Glaciers Austria param122774 param122775 param122776 param122777 param122778 param122779 param122780 param122781 param122785 param122788 param122789 param122790 param122791 param122792 param122793 param122794 param135429 param554441 param554447 param560616 param560617 param560618 pi44859 author106481 author106709 author44848 author44859 author44889 author44920 author46475 geocode1599 geocode1600 geocode1601 inst20209 inst21435 inst22317 license21 term852
