Details
A jökulhlaup is a glacial outburst flood. The name is an Icelandic term that has been adopted by the English language. It originally referred to the well-known subglacial outburst floods from Vatnajökull, Iceland which are triggered by geothermal heating and periodically be a volcanic subglacial eruption, but now it is used to describe any large and abrupt release of water from a subglacial or proglacial lake/reservoir. Since jökulhlaups emerge from hydrostatically-sealed lakes with floating levels far above the threshold, their peak discharge can be much larger than that of a marginal or extra-marginal lake burst. The hydrograph of a jökulhlaup from Vatnajökull typically either climbs during weeks with the largest flow near the end, or it climbs much faster during the course of hours. This is suggested to reflect channel melting, and sheet flow under the front, respectively.
