Short summary
Glaciers on the Tibetan Plateau are losing mass, yet their turbulent heat exchange with the atmosphere remains uncertain. Using direct observations from the Dunde Glacier (May–October 2023), we analyzed turbulent flux variations at the glacier surface and evaluated five turbulent flux methods. We also showed that during a humid heatwave, turbulent heat input rose sharply and accelerated melt, highlighting the need to improve models under extreme conditions.
