Abstract

Keeping the importance of glaciers in mind it is necessary to measure different meteorological parameters as these factors play an important role in the survival of the glacier. An attempt has been taken to measure different meteorological parameters at the Naradu Glacier. The analysis is based on the records available for one year. Air temperature has been analysed on monthly and seasonal basis. Seasonal air temperature trend analysis shows negative trend in accumulation season while positive trend in ablation season. Both solar radiation and sunshine hour follow the seasonal trend i.e. highest in ablation season and lowest in accumulation season.
