北极Svalbard地区Austre Lovénbreen和Pedersenbreen冰川表面物质平衡和运动特征分析

对位于北极Svalbard群岛新奥尔松(Ny-lesund)的Austre Lovénbreen和Pedersenbreen冰川首个物质平衡年(2005/06年度)的冰川表面物质平衡及其运动特征进行研究,并阐述了Austre Lovénbreen冰川末端位置的变化状况。结果表明:(1)Austre Lovénbreen和Pedersenbreen冰川净物质平衡分别为-0.44和-0.20m w.e.,年消融量分别为0.99和0.94m w.e.,对应冰川零平衡线高度分别为478.10和494.87m。(2)两条冰川符合Svalbard地区跃动冰川运动的特征模式。运动速度矢量的水平分量表现为:向主流线辐合或平行于主流线。下游运动速度较慢,而在中上游运动相对较快。Austre Lovénbreen冰川表面各观测点的运动速度平均值为2.28m·a-1,运动速度最大值和最小值分别为3.91和0.81m·a-1;Pedersenbreen冰川表面观测点运动速度平均值为6.74m·a-1,运动速度最大值和最小值分别为8.13和5.49m·a-1。运动速度矢量的垂直分量表现为:消融区冰川消融量随海拔升高而减弱,Austr...

THE STUDIES OF SURFACE MASS BALANCE AND ICE FLOW ON GLACIERS AUSTRELOVéNBREEN AND PEDERSENBREEN,SVALBARD,ARCTIC

The glaciers Austre Lovénbreen and Pedersenbreen are located at Ny-lesund, Svalbard. Based on the observation of first year (2005/2006), surface mass balance and ice flow velocity of both glaciers have been analysed, while the front edge of Austre Lovénbreen has also been surveyed. The results are as following: (1) The net mass balance of Austre Lovénbreen and Pedersenbreen is -0.44 and -0.20 m w.e., respectively. Their annual ablation is -0.99 and -0.94 m w.e., respectively, and corresponding ELA is 478.1...
