Snowline... is the lowest limit of permanent snow on a mountain. During the cold season, snow will fall onto a mountain and build up. During warmer seasons, the snow may begin to melt. Where the melting is offset by the accumulation of snow, the snow remains all year round-and forms the snowline. The extent of the snowline can vary from year to year on a particular mountain, and is a good indicator of the balance between snowfall and snowmelt.  6, record 2, English, - permanent%20snowline

Snow line [is the] altitude above which or latitude beyond which snow does not melt in summer (usually called the permanent snow line), or, in winter, the line to which snow extends at a given point in time. Factors affecting the location of the snow line are the quantity of snowfall, the steepness of the slope on which snow rests, the exposure of an area to the sun and prevailing winds, the type and velocity of the winds, and the presence or absence of large bodies of water. The level of the snow line is much lower in winter than in summer. It is also affected by distance from the equator, along which it is found at an altitude of c.3 mi (5 km); in polar regions it is at sea level.  4, record 2, English, - permanent%20snowline

Dans les secteurs montagneux qui se situent au-dessus de la limite des neiges persistantes, c'est-à-dire sous 0 °C en moyenne, l'eau s'accumule sous forme de neige qui se compacte en glace. Mais la glace ne peut s'accumuler indéfiniment. Puisque les zones d'accumulation ne sont pas confinées, la glace s'écoule.  7, record 2, French, - limite%20des%20neiges%20%C3%A9ternelles

Budget year [is] in glaciology, the one-year period beginning with the start of the accumulation season at the firn line of a glacier or ice cap and extending through the following summer's ablation season.  4, record 3, English, - balance%20year

With the resurvey of the "Boas" Glacier ... in August 1974, the mass balance measurements were extended to five balance years. Accurate measurements were not possible, because most ablation poles melted out during the warm summer of 1974. However, it is estimated that the net specific balance for the 1973-74 budget year was approximately -0.5 m water equivalent (w.e.). ... Analysis of the past five budget years shows that (a) the "Boas" Glacier exhibited a two-year alternation of large mass gains and losses during the first four years, and (b) the estimated net specific mass balance for the five-year period was -0.16 m w.e., in spite of the total net mass gains of 0.38 m w.e. during the first four years.  5, record 3, English, - balance%20year

Aucune mesure du bilan n'a été faite; mais il est possible d'en donner une idée [approximative] en reconnaissant à partir de photographies aériennes la position d'une ligne où l'accumulation et l'ablation s'équilibrent. Cette dernière est dépendante des conditions climatiques de l'année écoulée et varie chaque année comme le bilan lui-même, où les précipitations de l'hiver reconstituent un stock dont les températures de l'été règlent la fusion.
