to the annual temperatures
during 20032007. The low AAR and the high mass
balance sensitivity (e.g., Jo´hannesson 1997) to a uni-
form temperature rise (Table 4) at both Torfajo¨kull and
Tindfjallajo¨kull during the warm last decade are con-
sistent with their low and narrow elevation range
(Fig. 1).

ABSTRACT
The current glacier monitoring programme in mainland Norway includes direct mass balance
investigations on 14 glaciers. Accurate maps

). Meteorological observations carried
out on Storbreen in the summer of 1955 (Liestøl1967) revealed that net radiation is the most impor-tant contributor to the ablation at Storbreen. An au-tomatic weather station (AWS) has bee operatedin the ablation zone of Storbreen since September2001 providing a near-continuous series of meteor-
ology and surface energy balance data. Analysis ofthe first five years
