Abstract. Ice caves are, similar to mountain glaciers, threatened by the warming climate. To better understand response of perennial ice in a changing climate, we analysed thermal characteristics sag-type cave Austrian Alps (Hundsalm cave), based on long-term temperature measurements for period 2008–2021. Observations show trend all parts as well distinct seasonal pattern with two main regimes, i.e., an open (winter) and closed (summer) period. During period, persistent stable stratification...
