Abstract
Isotopic exchange between ice and water is found to take place in temperate glaciers. This exchange causes homogenization of deuterium in snow during summer thaws, together with a general increase in deuterium concentration. Ice in a temperate glacier is therefore more homogeneous and has a higher deuterium concentration than the precipitation on the glacier. The difference between the average deuterium concentration in ice and precipitation gives information about the runoff ratio.
