Meteorological measurements from three weather stations on John Evans Glacier were used to show that: (a) lapse rates in air temperature were highly variable (values ranged between -0.02 and -0.63°C per 100 m), and generally lower than assumed in degree-day mass balance models; and (b) degree-day factors, calculated from energy balance measurements at the three stations, tended to increase throughout the melt season. Degree-day factors correlated well with measured surface albedo (r 2 as high as 0.50), and relationships were consistent between years. A simple albedo algorithm implemented within a degree-day model for John Evans Glacier resulted in average melt predictions that were up to 0.13 mWE (water equivalent) closer to observed values than those produced by simulations which relied upon constant degree-day factors used in previous studies.
