This repository is the collection of the data and codes used in analysis and generating figures for the paper published in The Cryosphere (TC):
Mandal, A., Angchuk, T., Azam, M. F., Ramanathan, A., Wagnon, P., Soheb, M., and Singh, C.: An 11-year record of wintertime snow-surface energy balance and sublimation at 4863 m a.s.l. on the Chhota Shigri Glacier moraine (western Himalaya, India), The Cryosphere, 16, 3775–3799, https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-16-3775-2022, 2022.
Surface energy balance (SEB) calculations were done in R and the codes are provided in SEB_in_R_18 May 2022.R. Most of the figure were generated in R, except few in Python using Jupyter Notebook. Several R and Python library/packages (mentioned in the respective scripts) were used to analyse the datasets and generate figures, BIG THANKS to those library/package authors. To smoothly reproduce the figures, the required libraries/packages should be installed in the user's R or Python environment.
