The lowering of surface albedo due to the dusted layer appearing leads to a drastic increase of glacier runoff even under the same meteorological conditions. Calculations of seasonal sensitivity, the relationship between dusted date and resulting runoff, have shown that dust deposition during a melting season might cause a drastic mass outflow from a glacier through changing the surface albedo during the melting season.}, pages = {2892--2896}, title = {Effect of dust event timing on glacier runoff: sensitivity analysis for a Tibetan glacier}, volume = {21}, year = {2007} }
