The article explores correlations between different glacier properties to improve global monitoring strategies. By analyzing data from 80 glaciers, researchers found strong links between mass balance and elevation differences at the terminus. These relationships can help predict glacier melt and ablation levels. Additionally, differences in mass-balance parameters were correlated with morphological properties like elevation range and length. However, some commonly used relationships, such as net mass balance and terminus balance, were found to be unreliable for global monitoring. This suggests that while certain parameters are closely related on individual glaciers, they may not be suitable for monitoring glaciers on a larger scale.
