本文利用前人的成果及笔者1992/1993年的南极海冰观测和收集的资料以及水文观测资料数据阐述了南极海冰的特性,特别是南极海冰过程、冰穴以及冰川冰对南极水团(南极表层水、南极底层水、南极陆架水、南极中层水以及南极冰架水)的形成和变性所起的特殊作用。 南极海冰覆盖面积的年际变化,夏季最大年份是最小年份的2倍多,冬季年间变化较小,最大仅为20%;但其季节变化非常大,冬季平均覆盖面积通常是夏季的5倍。南极海冰对大气-海洋间相互作用有重大影响,特别是深海洋区中冬季的结冰和发育造成的垂向对流、夏季的融化是形成南极表层水(含南极冬季水和南极夏季表层水),进而形成南极中层水的主要原因;南极陆架区的的海冰兴衰过程是形成南极陆架水的直接原因,它与变性南极绕极深层水混合并受到冰川冰的进一步冷却作用,成为形成南极底层水的主要水团;南极冰架底部的冷却、融化和冰架以下水体的结冰作用形成的高盐对流过程产生的南极冰架水,亦是形成南极底层水的贡献者。 冰穴是70年代以来卫星观测的重大发现。对其形成和对大气、海洋的影响作用尚不完全清楚,初步的研究成果表明,冰穴中产生的热盐对流对南极水团的形成、变性、大洋深层的翻转以及海洋-大气间的热量传输和气体交换起有非常重要的作用。  相似文献

冰川流速分析对于研究南极冰盖物质平衡、海平面上升和全球气候变化具有重要意义。以ALOS/PALSAR影像为数据源,采用SAR特征跟踪方法,结合DEM数据估算Amery冰架上游冰川流速。结果表明,Amery冰架上游主流线流速为540—720 m·a-1,冰川流速随海拔的降低逐渐减小。受基岩和两侧山体的影响,主流线流速大,越靠近两侧山体流速越小。这个结果与NASA 2000年利用SAR重复轨道干涉测量方法测定的流速接近。基于裸露岩石作为特征点的分析表明,该方法误差较小,获取的冰川流速比较可靠。  相似文献

冰川表面流速作为南极冰盖物质平衡估算的一项重要内容,对于研究全球变暖背景下的海平面上升具有重要意义。随着技术的进步,南极的冰流速监测方法已经从传统的花杆测量、光学仪器边角测量,发展到先进的GPS测量和遥感观测。南极冰盖冰流速总体特征是:海岸带冰流速快于内陆冰流速,冰架冰流速快于陆地冰流速,西南极冰流速快于东南极冰流速。未来加强对数据稀疏地区的冰流速监测,扩大冰流速研究的时间尺度,开发冰流速研究的新方法以及构建冰流速波动与气候变化相互关系模型等,成为南极冰流速研究的新热点。  相似文献

本文介绍了近期南极冰架-海洋相互作用的研究进展。冰架底部融化速率大于前缘崩解通量,成为南极冰盖质量损失的首要途径。冰架下的海洋按照底部融化驱动因素的不同,可以分为由高密度陆架水驱动的冷冰腔和由变性绕极深层水驱动的暖冰腔。威德尔海的菲尔希纳-龙尼冰架和罗斯海的罗斯冰架属于冷冰腔,占南极冰架总面积的2/3,却只贡献了15%的净融化;东南太平洋扇区阿蒙森海和别林斯高晋海等若干属于暖冰腔的小型冰架,虽然只占南极冰架总面积的8%,却贡献了超过一半的冰架融水。以往看做冷冰腔的东南极托滕冰架和埃默里冰架,也相继发现有变性绕极深层水进入冰腔并造成底部融化。冰架对海洋有冷却和淡化的作用。冷冰腔输出的冰架水具有海洋中最低的温度,对南极陆架水性质乃至南极底层水的形成都有影响。冰架融化加剧,可能是近期观测到的南极底层水淡化的原因。  相似文献

在全球气候变暖的背景下,冰架系统是监视和预测冰盖稳定性的理想研究区域。然而传统的冰架观测与调查方法只能从某一侧面揭示冰架的运动状态和演化信息,无法预测其未来变化;冰盖模式作为非常有潜力的数值计算方法,成为研究和预测冰盖/冰架演化的热点领域。Lambert冰川-Amery冰架系统是东南极冰盖最大的冰川系统,对于研究东南极冰盖的物质平衡和冰盖稳定性具有重要意义。使用PISM冰盖模式,对该冰川系统的流动过程进行模拟,得到冰表面流速场数据,并将模拟流速场与实测数据进行对比,发现两者在大部分区域吻合较好,但在冰架前缘处呈现出一些差异。进一步讨论差异可能的来源以及模拟可以改进的地方。  相似文献

埃默里冰架北缘海洋水文特征的变化   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
利用中国第24次南极科学考察队(2007/2008)观测的CTD资料,分析了埃默里冰架北缘的温度、盐度、密度的空间分布,并与中国第22次南极科学考察队(2005/2006)观测的CTD资料进行了比较。比较后发现埃默里冰架北缘海域的最新变化是跃层深度明显变深,冰架北缘的东部海洋上层有明显的次表层暖水存在,但该暖水仅仅位于冰架北缘的最东端及其附近的站位,具有明显的局地性。此外,海洋的表层温度、盐度、密度都形成了明显的东西向梯度。这种梯度应与海表层浮冰的密集度有着密切的关系,是海-冰-气三者相互作用的结果。  相似文献

分析了威德尔海周边雪冰和大气中MSA和nssSO2-4浓度资料。结果表明,威德尔海是造成这一地区大气中高含量生物硫化物的“源”,其周边岛屿及冰架表层雪冰记载和反映了大气中生物硫化物的空间分布和季节变化特点。源区产出硫化物的强度存在显著差异:靠近南极半岛一侧高于靠近Filchner-Ronne冰架一侧。尽管诸多因素对输运和沉降过程发生影响,表层积雪MSA和nsSO2-4浓度仍呈现出很有规律性的空间分布:随沉降地点离海距离和海拔高度的增加,浓度值递减;但在一定海拔之下,“高程效应”不显著。冰芯中MSA浓度垂向分布显示出季节分配“滞后”现象,在表层表现为受天气条件制约的输运过程造成的相位差,在深层则归因于有待验证的“迁移”机制作用的结果。大气和雪冰样品对比研究结果表明,在类似威德尔海这样的高纬地区,大气中的SO2-4和MSA“信号”在雪冰样品中会遭到不同程度的减弱。但就空间变化趋势和季节分布而言,表层雪冰仍是大气中组分(在本文是SO2-4和MSA)的良好载体。十分接近的大气和雪冰MSA对nssSO2-4(或SO2-4)比率证实,这两种大气组分在由大气洗净和沉降到冰雪过程中只发生微弱的分离作用。这也就是大气和雪冰中  相似文献

The purpose of this contribution is to explain the characteristics of a newly developed ice drill which is particularly geared to the needs of glaciologists. It is primarily designed for drilling holes for ablation stakes and for measuring water levels or temperatures in firn areas. Its distinguishing features are its light weight, making it easy to carry even over long distances, and the variety of tasks to which it can be adjusted. Furthermore, it is easy to operate even by one person.
Water is heated in a boiler by two gas flames to produce steam, which flows through an insulated hose to a nozzle. When the valve is opened the issuing steam condenses, and the heat released in the process melts the ice. The heater is constructed in such a way that it can easily be adapted to any form of gas supply locally available. It can be used for drilling in ice as well as in firn. The maximum drilling depth is 13 m in ice and 30 m in firn; hole diameters range from 25 to 45 mm. Mean drilling time is 16 min for 6 m, 35 min for 12 m in ice. The total weight is somewhat less than 16 kg, including all parts needed for drilling holes of 10 m in depth as well as the gas supply for one day. In recent years, devices of this type have been used successfully by scientists in various glaciated regions.  相似文献

<正> The reconstruction of air trapped in ice cores provides us the most di-rect information about atmospheric CH_4 variations in the past history.Ice corerecords from the“Three Poles(Antarctica,Greenland and Tibetan Plateau)”re-veal the detailed fluctuations of atmospheric CH_4 concentration with time and areallowed to quantify the CH_4 differences among latitudes.These data are indis-pensably in the farther study of the relationship between greenhouse gases andclimatic change,and of the past changes in terrestrial CH_4 emissions.Ice coresreconstruction indicates that atmospheric CH_4 concentration has increased quicklysince industrialization,and the present day's level of atmospheric CH_4(1800 pp-by)is unprecedented during the past Glacial-Interglacial climate cycles.  相似文献

The Antarctic climate system involves many complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans and ice and is sensitive to variations in these components. Ice shelves represent the ice–ocean–atmosphere interface of the Antarctic continent and are therefore very important indicators of climate change in the region. The Amery Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf in East Antarctica and has been the focus of many scientific research projects over the past 50 years. This paper presents a history of the use of spatial science techniques from basic survey equipment to satellite systems in Australian research projects based on the Amery Ice Shelf (and surrounding glaciers) since 1955. The application of these spatial data to projects based primarily in the fields of geodesy, glaciology, climatology, and oceanography has allowed the measurement and monitoring of the physical, dynamic and environmental characteristics of this large and remote region. This new information provides scientists with a better understanding of the ice shelf/ocean/atmosphere system allowing future monitoring to observe the effects of global climate change.  相似文献

乾宁古冰帽于1982年被作者发现,发育于大雪山顶部的夷平面上,海拔高度为4300~4400 m,地理坐标为101°14′~101°30′E,30°20′~30°38′N,是青藏高原位置最东、海拔最低的一个更新世古冰帽,生成环境独特。它还具有中心区缺少冰蚀过程遗迹的独特性质,其机理在于冰帽中心区冰层太薄、动能低、冰体侵蚀力弱,而边缘带冰层增厚。侵蚀力也增强。它的发现对进一步探讨青藏高原第四纪冰川问题具有重要意义。  相似文献

湖冰遥感监测方法综述   总被引:4,自引:2,他引:2  
本文综述了多光谱和微波数据监测湖冰冻结、消融及冰厚的方法,并比较了各种方法的优缺点,最后运用MODIS和AMSR-E监测了纳木错2007/2008冬半年冰情.湖冰监测方法主要有阈值法和指数法.阈值法是根据冰水反射率、温度、后向散射系数等特征因子的不同直接区分冰水.精度较高,误差在5天以内.指数法主要是根据冰水波谱特性和极化特性.做波段运算后间接区分冰水.冰厚监测常采用经验公式法,用实测数据与反射率、极化比、亮温等建立关系式反演整个湖泊冰厚,此方法适用于特定的某个湖泊.冰厚识别是湖冰监测的难点,主动微波比多光谱数据更适合监测冰厚.从数据本身来讲,热红外、被动微波等高时间分辨率数据比可见光、主动微波等高空间分辨率影像更适合监测大面积湖泊冰情.基于多源遥感数据,发展自动反演算法将是湖冰遥感监测发展趋势之一.  相似文献

Knowledge about the Quarternary geology of the Australian sector of Antarctica is very incomplete. Scattered observations of glacial deposits in that area, made during the ANARE 6 expedition in 1987, indicate that the inland ice had formerly a considerably wider extension than today. The ice was more than 200 m thicker, probably of the order 1, 000m. This maximum stage cannot yet be dated, but conditions seem to favour a late Wisconsin-Weichselian maximum age. However, a much higher age cannot be excluded.  相似文献

Presented are the results of the winter 2014 radiophysical expedition, within the framework of which the Baikal ice cover was investigated by electromagnetic methods. The primary objectives the expedition were to detect irregularities in the ice cover, such as cracks and thawing steamed holes in the ice, and to determine the ice thickness and structure in the area of the thawing holes by the GPR sounding method. We used in the experiments the OKO-2 ground-penetrating radar (GPR) of the decimeter band and the nanosecond radar with the wavelength of 3 cm. The measurements were made carried out from the Khivus hovercraft and from the UAZ automobile. The ice thickness of Lake Baikal was determined by non-contact electromagnetic measurement methods. Radargrams of reflected signals from the ice cover are presented. Radar patterns of reflected signals from artificial irregularities of the ice cover were obtained by the short-pulse radar method. The concept of radiophysical monitoring is suggested, which provides a means of determining the ice cover parameters of a water body with high spatial resolution. We present an integral approach to investigating the conditions of the ice cover in order to integrate different physicochemical methods for diagnosing the objects studied. A further development of the concept of integrated ice cover research, and the creation of the monitoring network involves solving a number of scientific and engineering tasks that include developing physical models and information and measurement systems as well as the rationale for an integrated monitoring network.  相似文献

It is well known that varying of the sea ice not only in the Antarctic but also in the Arctic has an active influence on the globe atmosphere and ocean. In order to understand the sea ice variation in detail, for the first time, an objective index of the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice variation is defined by projecting the monthly sea ice concentration anomalies poleward of 20°N or 20°S onto the EOF (empirical orthogonal function)-1 spatial pattern. Comparing with some work in former studies of polar sea ice, the index has the potential for clarifying the variability of sea ice in northern and southern high latitudes.  相似文献
