英文摘要 | Glaciers are crucial sources of freshwater in particular for the arid lowlands surrounding High Mountain Asia. To better constrain glacio-hydrological models, annual, or even better, seasonal information about glacier mass changes is highly beneficial. In this study, we evaluate the suitability of very-high-resolution Pleiades digital elevation models (DEMs) to measure glacier mass balance at annual and seasonal scales in two regions of High Mountain Asia (Muztagh Ata in Eastern Pamirs and parts of western Nyainqentanglha, south-central Tibetan Plateau), where recent estimates have shown contrasting glacier behaviour. The average annual mass balance in Muztagh Ata between 2019 and 2022 was - 0.07 +/- 0.20 m w.e. a - 1 , suggesting the continuation of a recent phase of slight mass loss following a prolonged period of balanced mass budgets previously observed. The mean annual mass balance in western Nyainqentanglha was highly negative for the same period ( - 0.60 +/- 0.15 m w.e. a - 1 ), suggesting increased mass loss rates compared to the approximately previous 5 decades. The 2022 winter ( + 0.13 +/- 0.24 m w.e.) and summer ( - 0.35 +/- 0.15 m w.e.) mass budgets in Muztagh Ata and western Nyainqentanglha ( - 0.03 +/- 0.27 m w.e. in winter; - 0.63 +/- 0.07 m w.e. in summer) suggest winter- and summer-accumulation-type regimes, respectively. We support our findings by implementing the Sentinel-1-based Glacier Index to identify the firn and wet-snow areas on glaciers and characterize the accumulation type. The good match between the geodetic and Glacier Index results supports the potential of very-high-resolution Pleiades data to monitor mass balance at short timescales and improves our understanding of glacier accumulation regimes across High Mountain Asia. |
