## Abstract An energy balance model of surface climate and melt for a glacierized area is described, and applied to simulate ablation and net mass balance on Peyto Glacier. Surface characteristics are assigned according to general knowledge from physical climatology and experimental data from the g
Although they correspond to an important fraction of the total area of mountain glaciers (33,000 km 2 out of 546,000 km 2 ), Himalayan glaciers and their mass balance are poorly sampled. For example, between 1977 and 1999, the average area surveyed each year on the field was 6.8 km 2 only. No direct
