英文摘要 | Maritime glaciers in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) have experienced important changes in mass and dynamics over the past decades, challenging the regional water supply and glacier-related hazards. However, knowledge about long-term variations in the surface velocity and mass balance of maritime glaciers remains incomplete due to the lack of representative observations in the southeastern TP. In this study, offset tracking is employed to measure spatiotemporal variation in the surface velocity of the Hailuogou Glacier (HLG) in Mount Gongga of the southeastern TP using Sentinel-1A imagery, while the time series of the HLG mass balance is reconstructed since 1950 by a physically based energy-mass balance model. Our satellite-based results find that HLG surface velocity shows significant spatial heterogeneity with a double-peak pattern along the flow line, and sustained slowdown below the icefall zone has been observed during the past nearly 40 years, although the icefall zone and the area above it have become relatively active. Our modeling indicates a persistent increase in mass loss over the last seven decades with an average rate of -0.58 m water equivalent (w.e.) year-1, which has accelerated in the past two decades. Sustained slowdown on the glacier is concomitant with pronounced negative mass balance, thereby enhancing glacier wastage in recent decades. The long-term trend in HLG mass loss is mainly driven by an increase in positive air temperature that decreases surface albedo and solid precipitation ratio and increases longwave incoming radiation, besides the influence of supraglacial debris cover. Large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns in the Eurasian region provide important implications for regional-to-local climate variability, unsustainably intensifying the trend of the negative mass balance of the HLG in the southeastern TP in the past two decades. |
