Physically based modelling of glacier evolution under climate change in the tropical Andes by J. D. Mackay, J. D. Mackay, N. E. Barrand, D. M. Hannah, E. Potter, E. Potter, N. Montoya, W. Buytaert

“…The model is evaluated against available glaciological and geodetic mass balance observations to assess the potential for using the modelling workflow to simulate tropical glacier evolution over decadal timescales. We show that the JULES–OGGM model can be parameterized to capture decadal (2000–2018) mass changes in individual glaciers, but we also show that limitations in the JULES prognostic snow model prevent accurate replication of observed surface albedo fluctuations and mass changes across all glaciers simultaneously. …”
