| Current state of glacier - Detail |
2023 |
massbalance_current_detailed.pdf |
Daily cumulative mass balance of the current year (red line) inferred based on distributed modelling and in-situ observations (triangles). The current state with respect to the last 10 years (shaded areas, blue dashed line) is indicated by the bar on top. |

| Current state of glacier - Map overview |
2023 |
massbalance_current.pdf |
Glaciers with information on the current mass balance. Colour symbols indicate differences with respect to the average of the last 10 years at the given date. Numbers are expressed as standard deviations during the reference period. The second plot shows daily cumulative mass balance aggregated for all investigated glaciers. |

| Glacier-specific Massbalance Figures |
2023 |
List of glacier-specific massbalance figures |
Time series of glacier-wide annual mass balance (grey bars) and seasonal (winter/summer) mass balance (blue/red bars) for every single glacier since the beginning of the surveys. Seasonal mass balances based on modelling instead of direct observations are displayed in light grey. All data have been homogenized to the hydrological year for comparability. The bottom panel shows the cumulative mass balance. |

| Massbalance Anomaly Annual |
2023 |
massbalance_anomaly_annual.pdf |
Anomaly of individual observations of glacier-wide ANNUAL mass balance (solid dots) relative to the glacier-specific average of the previous 10 years. Numbers for the individual measurements are given referring to the hydrological year (1 Oct to 30 Sept). Small dots show a regional extrapolation to indicate spatial trends. Years since 2000 are shown in reversed order. |

| Massbalance Anomaly Winter |
2023 |
massbalance_anomaly_winter.pdf |
Anomaly of individual observations of glacier-wide WINTER accumulation (solid dots) relative to the glacier-specific average of the previous 10 years. Numbers for the individual measurements are given referring to a fixed period (1 Oct to 30 April). Small dots show a regional extrapolation to indicate spatial trends. Years since 2000 are shown in reversed order. |

| Massbalance Anomaly Summer |
2023 |
massbalance_anomaly_summer.pdf |
Anomaly of individual observations of glacier-wide SUMMER mass loss (solid dots) relative to the glacier-specific average of the previous 10 years. Numbers for the individual measurements are given referring to a fixed period (1 May to 30 Sept). Small dots show a regional extrapolation to indicate spatial trends. Years since 2000 are shown in reversed order. |

| Course of Massbalance |
2023 |
course_of_massbalance.pdf |
Modelled cumulative course of daily glacier-wide mass balance in the current year constrained by seasonal in situ surveys (black triangles). The average variation of cumulative daily mass balance in the previous 10 years is shown with the grey shading and the top bar provides a classification of the state of the current year relative to the 10-year average. |

| Volume Evolution |
2023 |
volume_evolution.pdf |
Evolution of total glacier ice volume since 1980 based on today’s total measured ice volume and a spatial extrapolation of observed mass balance. Results are both shown for all Swiss glaciers, and specified for individual hydrological basins. Numbers for relative ice volume changes are both given for decadal time periods (light blue), and at the annual scale. |

| Relative Icevolumechange |
2023 |
relative_icevolumechange.pdf |
Relative annual change in total Swiss glacier ice volume with respect to the previous year. Colours indicate extreme loss (red), strong loss (orange), moderate loss (grey), and gain (blue). The blue shading in the background shows the evolution of overall Swiss glacier volume since 2000. |

| Probability distribution glacier-wide ANNUAL mass balance |
2023 |
probability_glacier-wide_annual.pdf |
Probability distribution of all observations of glacier-wide ANNUAL mass balance for selected glaciers (blue). The mass balances in the hydrological year (1.10.-30.9.) are shown by grey vertical lines. The current year is highlighted in red and the statistical difference from the average is given in standard deviations (sigma). |
