Abstract
Since 1987 a mass balance monitoring network, which is now based on eight unit s, was created on the Lomb ard y glaciers. All the result s of both balance years 1996/ 97 and 1997/ 98 are negative. The mean net specific balance in mm w.e. for the group of five glaciers (that it is possible to compare) increased from – 538 mm in the first year to -1215 in the second one . The mean ELA (Equilibrium Line Altitu de) rose from 2986 m a.s.l. to 3107 m a.s.l.
