| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. The transient snowline on five outlet glaciers from the Jostedalsbreen ice cap in southwestern Norway could be determined from ERTS image no. 1336-102060, when bands MSS 5, 6, and 7 were combined in an additive color viewer. The snowline was situated at a very low altitude at the time of imagery (24 June 1973) indicating that glacier melt was behind normal schedule, a fact that has a hydrologic bearing: less melt water in the streams could be expected. The use of ERTS imagery in snowline determinations proved realistic and relatively easy to apply in practice. |
