- Abstract
The article presents a study on the short term variations of tracer transit speed on alpine glaciers in Switzerland. It notes the measured tracer transit speeds using the moulin from the draining ice marginal lake which show two diurnal maxima and minima. It cites the two-component model of the glacier drainage system which shows that frequent measurements of moulin input discharge are indispensable and propose an experiment design to monitor the development of the drainage system.
