The paper analyses various processes of water transport in a glaciated system. It focuses on measuring cycles and processes of water transport in different glacier sub-systems in the ablation season of 2006. The glacier itself is seen as the element of retardation of run-off and storage. The spotlight is on measuring retention times and quantities as well as understanding interactions of subsystems. Infiltration processes and the progress of the melt front were investigated by the applicaton of coloured dyes on snow and firn. The study emphasized on fluorescent dye tracer measurements to...
