Free and covered ablation. The ablation of ice that is either free
and open to the air or covered with other materials (with sand,
rubble or boulders; on glaciers with moraines) comes to pass by
physical processes, that can be described by equations. The amount
of the ablation can be caleu- lated, but depends on so many
parameters, that it is not possible to show all connections of the
ablation processes in one single diagram. Therefore in chapter 2
and in the appendix many dia- grams are shown, that represent the
dependence of the ablation on the different meteorological factors
and-in case uf eovered ablation-on the heat transmission
cueffieient of the covering mate- rial. The differences between
free and covered ablation become especially clear. From these dia-
grams, too, one can take the amounts of selective ablation that is
caused by other processes than by the difference in the eovering.
By using the equation uf energy balance it is possible to inter-
prete these processes. The third chapter shows many illustrations
about the glaciers and the small glacial forms of ablation in the
environs of the Mt. Everest. The phenomenons shown on these
photographs be- come intelligible by the physical considcrations
ofthc first and the second chapter. EINLEITUNG Die Abtragung von
Schnee und Eis nennt man Ablation; sie erfolgt vor allem durch
Schmelzen und Verdunsten.
