  abstract = {{W}e investigate the control of the morphological variables on the 2000-2016 glacier-wide mass balances of 6,470 individual glaciers of {H}igh {M}ountain {A}sia. {W}e separate the data set into 12 regions assumed to be climatically homogeneous. {W}e find that the slope of the glacier tongue, mean glacier elevation, percentage of supraglacial debris cover, and avalanche contributing area all together explain a maximum of 48% and a minimum of 8% of the glacier-wide mass balance variability, within a given region. {T}he best predictors of the glacier-wide mass balance are the slope of the glacier tongue and the mean glacier elevation for most regions, with the notable exception of the inner {T}ibetan {P}lateau. {G}lacier-wide mass balances do not differ significantly between debris-free and debris-covered glaciers in 7 of the 12 regions analyzed. {L}ake-terminating glaciers have more negative mass balances than the regional averages, the influence of lakes being stronger on small glaciers than on large glaciers.},
