| Zusammenfassung |
| The Gouffre des Diablotins is a deep cave system located in the Swiss
Prealps. In 1991, the lower entrance zone of the cave was almost free of
ice. Nevertheless the ice volume sharply increased in 1994, plugging almost
totally the gallery from the lower entrance. The ice cave has also
experienced a flood period between 1996 and 2007 and very heterogeneous ice
surface morphologies and textures have formed. Continuous cave climate
measurements initiated in 2009 showed the predominant role of winter
atmospheric air conditions to drive both the efficiency of chimney-effect
air circulation and seasonal modifications of the ice mass. The main part of
the ice loss is currently due to sublimation in wintertime. |
