摘要
天山乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川的成冰带20世纪60年代初,自下而上划分为4个成冰带;1988年,由于气候变暖,冰川上部的冷渗浸重结晶带消失,被渗浸带所取代.对近期1号冰川的成冰带进行了划分,并通过大量雪坑资料,研究论述了目前1号冰川雪层剖面的层位特征.研究发现,由于气候变暖,剖面特征和成冰带谱有由“冷”向“暖”的转化趋势.同时还发现,1号冰川东支顶部发生了强烈的消融现象,该处已由渗浸带转化为具有强烈消融特征的局部消融区.
Characteristics of ice formation zones on a glacier and stratigraphy profiles of snow pits that relate the basic features of a glacier are the basic objects of glaciology. The study of ice formation zones on the Glacier No. 1 at the headwaters of （Urümqi River in the Tianshan Mountains began at the beginning of the 1960s, when Xie Zichu and Huang Maohuan and others divided the glacier into four ice formation zones. In 1988, Wang Xiaojun and others found that cold-percolation-recrystallization zone on the glacier disappeared and was replaced by percolation zone. Therefore, in1989, Liu Chaohai and others divided the glacier into three ice formation zones. The glacier has changed a lot since the 1990s, because of temperature increase, resulting in shift of ice formation zones and stratigraphy profiles of snow pits. This is a key issue that attracts more attention. In this paper new division of ice formation zones and physical properties of stratigraphy profiles is presented by study of a series of snow pits on the glacier. It is found that characteristics of stratigraphy profiles and ice formation zones on the glacier have a transformation trend from cold to warm. In addition, a strong ablation phenomenon has been found in the top of east branch, showing the percolation zone locally transform into ablation area.
