Glacier mass balance Venedigerkees, Hohe Tauern, Austria, 2021/2022

The Venedigerkees in the Hohe Tauern National Park is the easternmost tributary glacier to the former tongue of Obersulzbachkees. As a result of the strong retreat of Obersulzbachkees, the glacier disintegrated into several tributary glaciers, with a large lake remaining at the location of a famous serac zone, the 'Türkische Zeltstadt'. Hydrological monitoring of the area is done by the Hydrological Survey of the Federal Government of Salzburg (DI Hans Wiesenegger) who initiated the mass balance monitoring programme together with Heinz Slupetzky and the Institute of Interdisciplinary Mountain Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The mass balance of the Venedigerkees is measured since 2011/12 with the direct or glaciological method.位于高陶恩国家公园（Hohe Tauern National Park）内的韦内迪格冰川（Venedigerkees），是原奥伯苏尔茨巴赫冰川（Obersulzbachkees）冰舌最东端的支冰川。受奥伯苏尔茨巴赫冰川大幅退缩影响，该冰川解体为多条支冰川，其著名的"土耳其帐篷城"（Türkische Zeltstadt）冰塔区原址留存有一处大型湖泊。该区域的水文监测由萨尔茨堡联邦政府水文调查局（Hydrological Survey of the Federal Government of Salzburg）承担，该局工作人员汉斯·维森埃格（DI Hans Wiesenegger）与海因茨·斯卢佩茨基（Heinz Slupetzky）及奥地利科学院跨学科山地研究所（Institute of Interdisciplinary Mountain Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences）共同发起了冰川物质平衡监测项目。自2011/12监测年度起，研究人员采用直接法或冰川学方法对韦内迪格冰川的物质平衡开展观测。
