摘要
气候变化背景下长江源各拉丹冬地区冰川的变化特征对于丰富全球气候变化区域响应的研究有重要意义。选择长江源各拉丹冬地区,基于1969-2012年的重复航空摄影和卫星影像以及1986-1999年与2010年的实地重复摄影照片,分析了岗加曲巴冰川和姜古迪如冰川整体和局部的变化;另外,根据1970-2009年的气象数据,分析了气候的变化趋势以及年代际差别。结果表明:1969-2012年岗加曲巴冰川和姜古迪如冰川的整体和局部退缩明显;1970-2009年气温显著升高,以21世纪10年代最为突出;1970-2009年降水量整体无显著变化趋势,以21世纪10年代最大;冰川变化与气候变化表现出一定的对应关系。在气候变化背景下,冰川变化对流域的自然、社会和经济都有显著的影响。
Studies on glacier change can provide profound implications to understand ecosystem response to global climate change at regional scale. Geladandong area, as the Yangtze headwater region with restricted environmental conditions, is largely in the absence of scientific attention, especially that focusing on changing pattern of glaciers. This study aims to reveal the overall and local changing patterns of the main glaciers and their responses to climate change. Repeated aerial photographs and satellite images taken in 1969, 1973, 1992, 2001 and 2012 were used to analyze overall changing patterns of the Gangjiaquba glacier and the Jianggudiru glacier. Field photographs of the glaciers taken in 1986, 1994, 1999 and 2003 were compared with repeated ones taken in 2010 to analyze local changing patterns of the Gangjiaquba glacier and the Jianggudiru glacier. Meteorological data at the Tuotuohe Town during 1970-2009 were used to analyze changing trends and interdecadal variations of temperature and precipita- tion. Software for image processing and editing （Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended） was used to measure and calcu-late glacier outline difference between each of repeated aerial photographs and satellite images. Field measurement was conducted to locate the geographical coordinates of the past and present edges of glaciers based on historical photographs, and then to calculate retreating distances of glaciers. Software for statistical analyzing and image pro- cessing （OriginPro 8.6.0） was used to analyze the changing trends and interdecadal variations of meteorological variables. The response of glaciers to climate change was explored by discussing possible linkages between changing patterns of main glaciers and meteorological variables. Results show as follows： （ 1 ） the Gangiiaquba glacier and the Jianggndiru glacier retreated at both overall and local levels during 1969-2012; （2） local temperature rose during 1970-2009 with the most significant increase in 2（）00s; and （3） local precipitation
