Popis:	The mathematical modeling of the heat and mass transfer processes in glaciers is an effective means of investigating and predicting their development. A full explanation of the problem of constructing appropriate mathematical models is given in [1–5]. By analyzing the equations involved [3, 6] it is possible to establish the principal factors and dimensionless numbers determining glacier dynamics and provide justification for neglecting the secondary terms. In particular, a simplified closed system of differential equations for the detailed calculation of all the hydrodynamic characteristics of the glacier can be obtained for Khj « 1 up to O(K h 2 ), where Kh is the ratio of the vertical and horizontal scales of the ice mass investigated (Kh ∼ 10−4−10−6). In this case many of the qualitative characteristics of glacier dynamics are preserved even in one-dimensional models within the subisothermal approximation.
