Scientific paper

It is shown that, by averaging global mass balance data for small glaciers, the similarities and differences in mass balance between the regional records suggest meteorological connections between disparate systems. Recent data indicate that the pace of melting has slowed from that in the early part of the 20th century, especially for glaciers on the west coast of North America. The greatest contribution to the secular trend in melt-water production of the glaciers examined is from Syalbard, and the greatest year-to-year variability is from the coast ranges of Alaska and British Columbia.
