Abstract: = 0.191), with positive correlations in upper zones consistent with temperature-albedo feedback. Roughly 54% of variance remains unexplained, highlighting roles for non-meteorological processes. Results support nonlinear parameterizations of albedo in glacier mass-balance models and improve future projections for a warming Central Asia.
