| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have compared mass balance of glaciers in Altai mountain area. From North to South, we have studied three glaciers: (1) Aktru glacier in Russian Altai, (2) Potanin Glacier and (3) Munkhairkhan in Mongolian Altai. The glacier 1 is situated in higher altitude and its ELA is higher. On the other hand, glacier 2 and 3 are situated in lower altitude. Although the glacier 1 and 2 is situated closer, the mass balance feature of glacier 2 and 3 are similar. The glacier 1 is monitored for a long time and regarded as representative glacier. However, mean mass balance value for Altai mountain range is lower than the glacier 1.
