The surface energy balance in a cold-arid permafrost environment, Ladakh Himalaya, India John Mohd Wani1, Renoj J. Thayyen2*, Chandra Shekhar Prasad Ojha1, and Stephan Gruber3 1Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee, India, 2Water Resources System Division, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee, India ([email protected]; [email protected]), 3Department of Geography & Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada Abstract: Cryosphere of the cold-arid trans-Himalayan region is unique with its significant permafrost cover. While the information on the permafrost characteristics and its extent started emerging, the governing energy regimes of this cryosphere region is of particular interest. This paper present the results of Surface Energy Balance (SEB) studies carried out in the upper 5 Ganglass catchment in the Ladakh region of India, which feed directly to the River Indus. The point SEB is estimated using the one-dimensional mode of GEOtop model from 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2017 at 4727 m a.s.l elevation. The model is evaluated using field monitored radiation components, snow depth variations and one-year near-surface ground temperatures and showed good agreement with the respective simulated values. The study site has an air 10 temperature range of – 23.7 to 18.1 °C with a mean annual average temperature (MAAT) of - 2.5 and ground surface temperature range of -9.8 to 19.1 °C. For the study period, the surface energy balance characteristics of the cold-arid site show that the net radiation was the major component with mean value of 28.9 W m-2, followed by sensible heat flux (13.5 W m-2) and latent heat flux (12.8 W m-2), and the ground heat flux was equal to 0.4 W m-2.

    China's Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia

    USIP SENIOR STUDY GROUP FINAL REPORT China’s Influence on Conflict Dynamics in South Asia DECEMBER 2020 | NO. 4 USIP Senior Study Group Report This report is the fourth in USIP’s Senior Study Group (SSG) series on China’s influence on conflicts around the world. It examines how Beijing’s growing presence is affecting political, economic, and security trends in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The bipartisan group was comprised of senior experts, former policymakers, and retired diplomats. They met six times by videoconference over the course of 2020 to examine how an array of issues—from military affairs to border disputes, trade and development, and cultural issues—come together to shape and be shaped by Chinese involvement. The group members drew from their deep individual experiences working in and advising the US government to generate a set of top-level findings and actionable policy recommen- dations. Unless otherwise sourced, all observations and conclusions are those of the SSG members.

  • India's Best Kept Secret

    India's Best Kept Secret

    Veronica Reilly India’s Best Kept Secret We are hurtling along the Highest Motorable Road in the World in a beat-up Jeep. The young Ladakhi driver, who seemed so kind and friendly back in the capital city, Leh, is clearly mad. He swings around blind hairpin turns on this single lane road carved out of a mountainside without the customary horn blaring. The almost continuous use of the horn is the way that people drive on these one-lane mountain roads in the high Himalaya without having frequent head-on collisions. Our driver likes the aspect of Himalayan driving custom that requires hurtling along at preposterous speeds, but does not accompany this reckless behavior with any- where near the requisite amount of horn usage. Himank, the road’s authority here, has even painted large signs black let- ters against a yellow background, on the bare rock walls above us that read, “Horn please.” Immediately to my left and thousands of feet below lies the rocky brown bottom of a ravine. There are only intermittent guardrails. I try to imagine that the window overlooking the precipice is actually a television screen. I breathe deeply and try to let go of my attachment to life. We are among Buddhists, after all. Perhaps our driver gains his cavalier attitude from a firm belief in reincarnation, a belief that I don’t share, although I am suddenly reevaluating the possibility. The beginning of the trip, several hours ago, was joc- ular, and the five of us, thrown together for just a few days, introduced ourselves.

    DRAFT BIODIVERSITY STRATEGY & ACTION PLAN: SUB –STATE LADAKH 8. STRATEGY & ACTION PLAN The Action Plan below spells out detailed sets of action, jointly elaborated by the main stakeholders, which are meant to translate the strategies presented in the previous chapter into actual biodiversity protection on the ground. The underlying approach has been to design actions that are SMART, in other words Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound. No systematic attempt has been made to define priorities between actions, locations and actors. However the sequence of actions as they are presented under the different strategies is broadly indicative of priorities agreed by the participants in the BSAP process. I.

    0 1 DISTRICT PROFILE Although, Leh district is one of the largest districts of the country in terms of area, it has the lowest population density across the entire country. The district borders Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Chinese occupied Ladakh in the North and Northwest respectively, Tibet in the east and Lahoul-Spiti area of Himachal Pradesh in the South. The district of Leh forms the Northern tip of the Indian Sub Continent. According to the Geographical experts, the district has several other features, which make it unique when compared with other parts of the Indian sub-continent. The district is the coldest and most elevated inhabited region in the country with altitude ranging from 2300 meters to 5000 meters. As a result of its high altitude locations, annual rainfall is extremely low. This low status of precipitation has resulted in scanty vegetation, low organic content in the soil and loose structure in the cold desert. But large-scale plantation has been going in the district since 1955 and this state of affairs is likely to change. The ancient inhabitants of Ladakh were Dards, an Indo- Aryan race. Immigrants of Tibet, Skardo and nearby parts like Purang, Guge settled in Ladakh, whose racial characters and cultures were in consonance with early settlers. Buddhism traveled from central India to Tibet via Ladakh leaving its imprint in Ladakh. Islamic missionaries also made a peaceful penetration of Islam in the early 16 th century. German Moravian Missionaries having cognizance of East India Company also made inroads towards conversion but with little success. In the 10 th century AD, Skit Lde Nemagon, the ruler of Tibet, invaded Ladakh where there was no central authority.

A1 is divided into three groups that describe alternative directions of technological change: fossil intensive (A1FI), non-fossil energy resources (A1T) and a balance across all sources (A1B). A2 IPCC climate change Scenario A2 describes a very heterogeneous world with high population growth, slow economic development and slow technological change.
