Abstract: Last year confirmed a trend of many decades: the glacier mass balance for 2019-20 was negative. The balance is the ratio of the incoming and outgoing mass of snow and ice on the glacier for the year. So, for example, the Tuiksu glacier "lost weight" for the year by 280 mm. This glacier is a benchmark in assessing the dynamics of these processes, it has been continuously and year-round observed by the staff of the Institute of Geography and Water Safety since 1957.
