Abstract

The increased availability of high-resolution and high-quality digital elevation models (DEMs) allows for the investigation of small-scale glaciological changes and improved precision in geodetic mass-balance estimates. However, high precision and careful methodological choices are required to retrieve glacier-wide mass changes at annual to seasonal time scales. Here, we used a 7-year time series of 12 DEMs of the Glacier d'Argentière, in the French Alps, derived from the Pléiades optical satellites to assess the ability of sub-metre stereoscopic satellite images to retrieve annual-to-seasonal mass balances. We found good agreement between the five annual and the four winter mass-balance values estimated using a geodetic method and those of in situ glaciological measurements: mean values via the geodetic method are −0.66 m w.e. and 1.47 m w.e. for annual and winter balances, respectively; mean absolute discrepancies are 0.25 m w.e. (annual) and 0.36 m w.e. (winter). Our study identified three main limitations of this methodology: (i) the intrinsic DEM precision; (ii) the lack of control over the satellite acquisition dates; and (iii) the density assumption. The consistency between the methods demonstrates the potential of short time-scale glacier mass-balance monitoring using very high-resolution satellite images. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study aims at quantifying the contribution of external climate forcings on the retreat of the Argentière glacier (Mont-Blanc area). Its evolution is simulated over 1850-2014 following retrospective scenarios produced with the IPSL-CM6-LR climate model, excluding and including natural and anthropogenic forcings. These scenarios are statistically adjusted at the local scale, ensuring a preservation of the long-term trends and a physical consistency between precipitation and temperature, to finally force an ice flow model coupled with a surface mass balance scheme. The regional aerosol cooling partly counteracted the greenhouse gases warming, delaying the time of emergence of anthropogenic signals: The anthropogenic influences emerged from the natural variability in 1979 for temperature and in 2008 for the mass of the glacier, whereas its snout position in 2014 remains compatible with natural variability. We found that 66% [20-112%] of the total mass loss in 2014 since 1850 can be attributed to anthropogenic activities.

Abstract

International audience; Des modélisations ont été réalisées sur les deux plus grands glaciers des Alpes françaises afin d'estimer leur évolution au cours du XXI e siècle. Pour un scénario climatique intermédiaire avec réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre avant la fin du XXI e siècle (RCP 4.5), les simulations indiquent que le glacier d'Argentière devrait disparaître vers la fin du XXI e siècle et que la surface de la Mer de Glace pourrait diminuer de 80 %. Dans l'hypothèse la plus pessimiste d'une croissance ininterrompue des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (RCP 8.5), la Mer de Glace pourrait disparaître avant 2100 et le glacier d'Argentière une vingtaine d'années plus tôt.

Abstract

Long-term, continuous in situ observations of the near-surface atmospheric boundary layer are critical for many weather and climate applications. Although there is a proliferation of surface stations globally, especially in and around populous areas, there are notably fewer tall meteorological towers with multiple instrumented levels. This is particularly true in remote and extreme environments such as the Eastern Antarctic plateau. In the article, we present and analyze 10 years of data from 6 levels of meteorological instrumentation mounted on a 42-m tower located at Dome C, East Antarctica near the Concordia research station, producing a unique climatology of the near-surface atmospheric environment (Genthon et al., 2021,a,b). Monthly temperature and wind data demonstrate the large seasonal differences in the near-surface boundary layer dynamics, depending on the presence or absence of solar surface forcing. Strong vertical temperature gradients (inversions) frequently develop in calm, winter conditions, while vertical convective mixing occurs in the summer leading to near-uniform temperatures along the tower. Seasonal variation in wind speed is much less notable at this location than the temperature variation as the winds are less influenced by the solar cycle; there are no katabatic winds as Dome C is quite flat. Harmonic analysis confirms that most of the energy in the power spectrum is at diurnal, annual and semi-annual time scales. Analysis of observational uncertainty and comparison to reanalysis data from ERA-5 indicate that wind speed is particularly difficult to measure at this location. Data are distributed on PANGAEA data repository, see data availability section. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we provide an overview on the current knowledge on snow, glacier, and permafrost processes, as well as their past, current, and future evolution. We additionally provide an assessment of current cryosphere research in Europe and point to the different domains requiring further research. Emphasis is given to our understanding of climate–cryosphere interactions, cryosphere controls on physical and biological mountain systems, and related impacts. By the end of the century, Europe’s mountain cryosphere will have changed to an extent that will impact the landscape, the hydrological regimes, the water resources, and the infrastructure. The impacts will not remain confined to the mountain area but also affect the downstream lowlands, entailing a wide range of socio-economical consequences. European mountains will have a completely different visual appearance, in which low- and mid-range-altitude glaciers will have disappeared and even large valley glaciers will have experienced significant retreat and mass loss. Due to increased air temperatures and related shifts from solid to liquid precipitation, seasonal snow lines will be found at much higher altitudes, and the snow season will be much shorter than today. These changes in snow and ice melt will cause a shift in the timing of discharge maxima, as well as a transition of runoff regimes from glacial to nival and from nival to pluvial. This will entail significant impacts on the seasonality of high-altitude water availability, with consequences for water storage and management in reservoirs for drinking water, irrigation, and hydropower production. Whereas an upward shift of the tree line and expansion of vegetation can be expected into current periglacial areas, the disappearance of permafrost at lower altitudes and its warming at higher elevations will likely result in mass movements

Abstract

Spatio-temporal variability of the winter surface mass balance is a major uncertainty in the modelling of annual surface mass balance. Moreover, its measurement at high spatio-temporal resolution (sub-200 m) is very useful to force, calibrate or validate models. This study presents the results of year-round field campaigns to study the evolution of the surface mass balance in a ~2 km2 portion of the accumulation zone of the Mer de Glace (France). It is based on repeated LiDAR acquisitions, submergence-velocity measurements and meteorological records. The two methods used to quantify submergence velocities show good agreement. They present a linear temporal evolution without significant seasonal changes but display significant spatial variability. We conclude that a dense network of submergence velocity measurements is required to reduce the uncertainties when computing winter and annual surface mass balance from digital elevation model differencing. Finally, a height spatio-temporal variability of the winter surface mass balance is highlighted (e.g., a std dev. of 0.92 m in April) even though the topography is homogeneous (std dev. of 25 m). Attempts to relate this variability to different morpho-topographic variables and wind-related indexes show the need for studies conducted at the snowfall event scale to obtain a better understanding of the variability in mass balance at the glacier scale.

Abstract

The 2007–19 glaciological mass-balance series of Mera Glacier in the Everest Region, East Nepal, is reanalysed using the geodetic mass balance assessed by differencing two DEMs obtained from Pléiades stereo-images acquired in November 2012 and in October 2018. The glaciological glacier-wide annual mass balance of Mera Glacier has to be systematically decreased by 0.11 m w.e. a−1 to match the geodetic mass balance. We attribute part of the positive bias of the glaciological mass balance to an over-estimation of the accumulation above 5520 m a.s.l., likely due to a measurement network unable to capture its spatial variability. Over the period 2007–19, Mera Glacier has lost mass at a rate of −0.41 ± 0.20 m w.e. a−1, in general agreement with regional averages for the central Himalaya. We observe a succession of negative mass-balance years since 2013. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]ARCEAU; International audience; This contribution aims at presenting the principles that underlined the creation of the OZCAR research infras-tructure, gathering various Critical Zone Observatories in France, and the scientific questions that drives theobservation settings.The Critical Zone includes the fine zone between the lower atmosphere at the top of the canopy down to thebedrock-soil interface. This lithosphere-atmosphere boundary is critical for the availability of life-sustainingresources and critical for humanity because this is the zone where we live, where we build our cities, from whichwe extract our food and our water and where we release most of our wastes. This is the fragile zone on which thenatural ecosystem relies because this is where nutrients are being released from the rocks.OZCAR is a distributed research infrastructure gathering instrumented sites and catchments on continentalsurfaces all dedicated to the observation and monitoring of the different compartments of the Critical Zone atthe national scale. All these observatories (more that 40) were all built up on specific questions (acid deposition,flood prediction, urban hydrology. . . ), some of them more than 50 years ago, but they have all in common tobe highly instrumented, permanently funded as infrastructures. They all share the same overarching goal ofunderstanding and predicting the Critical Zone in a changing world. OZCAR gathers instrumented catchments,hydrogeological sites, peatlands, glacier and permafrost regions and a spatial observatory under the commonumbrella of understanding water and biogeochemical cycles and the associated fluxes of energy by using naturalgradients and experimentation. Based on the collaboration with Southern Countries, OZCAR’s sites have a globalcoverage including tropical areas and high mountainous regions in the Andes and the Himalaya.OZCAR benefits from a French investments project called CRITEX (Innovative equipment for the critical zone,https://www.critex.fr/critex-3/observatories/ ) that is centered on the development and deployment of innovativeinstrumentation in the sites.OZCAR was launched in 2016 under the leadership of the French Ministry in charge of Higher Education andResearch, assembling all French Research Institutions involved in environmental studies and with the ambitionof facilitating interdisciplinary research in terrestrial surfaces, stimulating instrumental development and beingvisible at the international level.The paper will presents the main common scientific questions, challenges in terms of instrumentation andexperimentation deployment, in particular in terms of co-location of sites, data base and modelling activities thatthe OZCAR network plan to address in the next years.

Abstract

International audience; In situ observations show that snow accumulation is ∼10% larger 25 km north than south of the summit of DomeC on the east antarctic plateau. The mean wind direction is southerly. Although a slight slope-related diverging katabatic owcomponent is detectable, the area is an essentially at (∼10 m elevation change or less) homogeneous snow surface. TheEuropean Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasts meteorological analyses data reproduce a signicant accumulationgradient and suggest that 90% of the the mean accumulation results from the 25% largest precipitation events. During theseevents, air masses originate from coastal areas in the north rather than from inland in the south. Radiative cooling condensationoccurs on the way across the dome and as the moisture reservoir is depleted less snow is dumped 25 km south than north, withlittle direct impact from the local (50-km scale) topography. Air masses are warmer on average, and warmer north than south,when originating from the coast. This marginally affects the mean temperature gradients. The moisture gradients are moreaffected because moisture is nonlinearly related to temperature: the mean atmospheric moisture is larger north than south.Signicant meteorological and hydrological gradients over such relatively small distances (50 km) over locally at regionmay be an issue when interpreting ice cores: although cores are drilled at the top of domes and ridges where the slopes andelevation gradients are minimal, they sample small surfaces in areas affected by signicant meteorological and hydrologicalspatial gradients.
