Model description
The model proposed here is intended to capture the most important characteristics of the cu-
mulative response of many glaciers of different sizes within a single watershed to mass balance
changes without the need for detailed dynamic modelling of each glacier. The focus is on glacier
retreat, temporary

description (e.g., land-sea distribution, sea ice cover, roughness and orography) in the models. Thus, the
use of the geostrophic wind speed that is proportional to the surface pressure gradient allows a more
straightforward comparison among the models and to observational data. For the analyses reported
here, all model results were interpolated onto a common 2.5° × 2.5

is done by using the mesoscale MM5 model
(Grell et al., 1995).
This paper begins with a description of the model approach, followed by
comparison of the model results to data and concluding remarks.
MODELLING WITH THE MM5 MODEL
The idea of using limited area models (LAMs) for regional climate simula-
tions was introduced by Dickinson et al. (1989) and refined by Giorgi (1990).
