The glacier's surface wasmelting for most of the measurement period, whichallowed for a reliable closure of the energy budget.Sensitivity studies focussed mainly on potentialeffects of measurement errors, site-specificmicrometeorological conditions, surface developmentand different parameterization of the turbulentfluxes. Although the high stability and a roughnessdisturbance imposed certain restrictions, thesestudies confirmed the applicability of theMonin-Obukhov framework for the evaluation of turbulentfluxes. The characteristics of the energy and mass budgets arediscussed with respect to various time scales andsignificant weather conditions. Due to the maskingglacial boundary layer, warm fronts appearedcomparatively weak compared to the more vigorous coldfronts. The latter were often associated with leeeffects and give striking signals in the turbulent fluxes.Transition from snow to ice induced a distinct changein the regime because of related albedo and roughnesseffects.A compilation of the major energy budget components atglaciers all over the world confirms the maritimeregime at Vatnajökull.
