Local scale ablation and energy budget measurements are reported for the Ivory glacier in the Southern Alps of New Zealand over 53 days during two consecutive summer periods. Ablation averaged 38 mm day-', but varied from less than 10 mm day ~ I to over 70 mm day I . Radiation supplied 52% of the en

Abstract
Aspects of the synoptic climatology of the LabradorβUngava peninsula are investigated with reference to a classification of airflow pattern types, formulated on the basis of synoptic weather maps for November 1956 to February 1958. The winters 1956β57 and 1957β58 exhibit, respectively, marked negative and positive temperature departures and the temperature and precipitation characteristics of the airflow types are discussed for these two seasons. The validity of the airflow categories is statistically tested.

The results of an objective synoptic climatology of glacier mass balance in south-western Canada are affected by the scale and degree of generality of the synoptic patterns used. Two scales of 500mb daily weather maps are compared. Statistical analysis shows little direct relationship between the tw
## Abstract A classification scheme for satellite observed cloud vortices is used to assess some general features of the behaviour of Southern Hemisphere depressions. From coincident conventional observations the mean variation of surface pressure and upper level geopotential anomaly near the centr
Extreme fire-weather conditions are usually thought of as discrete events rather than part of a continuum of meteorological and climatological variability. This study uses a synoptic climatological approach (weather typing) to examine the seasonal climatology of extreme fire-weather conditions acros
