  • Analysis and Prediction of Changes in the Temperature of the Pure Freshwater Ice Column in the Antarctic and the Arctic

    Analysis and Prediction of Changes in the Temperature of the Pure Freshwater Ice Column in the Antarctic and the Arctic

    Analysis and prediction of changes in the temperature of the pure freshwater ice column in the Antarctic and the Arctic A.A. Fedotov, V.V. Kaniber, P.V. Khrapov Abstract – This paper investigates the initial boundary value problem for a non-stationary one-dimensional heat equation that simulates the temperature distribution in freshwater ice near the Earth's poles. The mathematical model has been constructed taking into account solid-liquid phase transitions. Data from meteorological stations were used to determine the model parameters, with the help of which the necessary physical and thermophysical characteristics of the computational domain were obtained. For the numerical solution of the problem, the finite volume method (FVM) was used. In order to analyze changes in the temperature field of ice and determine the time required to reach a non-stationary periodic regime, graphs of temperature versus depth were plotted for January at two stations. The study of the results showed that it takes about 50 years of modeling with constant initial data for the temperature of an ice layer up to 20 m deep to reach the periodic regime. For the obtained periodic regime, the temperature versus depth dependences for each month were plotted, and the depth of the active layer, as well as the depth of zero annual amplitudes were found for each meteorological station. A forecast of the ice temperature regime for 2100 was modeled for three Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios of global warming: moderate RCP2.6, corresponding to the current emissions of RCP7 and adopted at the Paris Agreement in 2015 RCP1.9.

Changes in the climate and environment of the Arctic have widespread effects on societies and the whole ecosystem, as well as repercussions around the world. This makes evident the need to undertake urgent measures both nationally and globally for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Climate change and technological breakthroughs are opening the Arctic, its riches and resources, to commercial development. We welcome the adoption of the Framework for Action on Enhanced Black Carbon and Methane Emissions Reductions by the Arctic Council. From our perspective, it is a timely step towards dealing with climate and environmental challenges in the Arctic region. The Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation is the largest in the world; no other country has such vast territories above the Arctic Circle. 2.4 million people live in the Arctic.

    Satellite Map Series of Long-Term Elevation Changes on Eurasia's

    Towards Horizon 2020 Lasaponara R., Masini N., Biscione M., Editors EARSeL, 2013 Satellite map series of long-term elevation changes on Eurasia’s Northernmost ice caps Aleksey Sharov and Dmitry Nikolskiy Joanneum Research, DIGITAL - Institute of Information and Communication Technologies, Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Group, Graz, Austria; [email protected] Abstract. The present paper describes a new suite of thirty maps representing glacier elevation changes and mass balance characteristics in the Eurasian High Arctic for the period of 1950-2010s derived from satellite ERS and/or TanDEM-X interferometry and ICESat / CryoSat altimetry data in comparison with 60-year old reference elevation models. The regional assessment of the mapped changes showed that Eurasian insular glaciation lost 1,005±20 km³ of its volume and 2,030±100 km² of its area. But we also registered a dozen growing ice caps. New map prototypes showing spatial distribution of mass balance characteristics in the heterogeneous field of gravity were generated and interpreted using long-term precipitation records and GOCE gradiometry data. Keywords. Arctic, ice cap, change, mapping, satellite, altimetry, radar interferometry, gravimetry 1. Introduction Precise glacier maps depicting long-term elevation changes of land ice masses represent an im- portant instrument and indispensable basis for assessing Earth’s glaciation and obtaining quantita- tive data on accumulation, ablation, movement, calving flux and mass balance of ice bodies in documentary and human perceivable form [1]. In the era of climate change, maps of glacier trends are in great demand among polar and alpine environmentalists and widely used for studying rela- tionships between glaciers and climate, fluctuations in sea level and salinity, estimating melt water availability, planning industrial activities and political argumentation in cold regions.

    4Winds Tour Operator 2022 - DALLE SVALBARD ALLE ISOLE FRANZ JOSEF LAND (RUSSIA) Viaggio in Svalbard IN BREVE: Questa ambiziosa spedizione, fatta a bordo della M/n Hondius - in pieno Mare Artico - parte dalle isole Svalbard per giungere nell'arcipelago di 192 isole di Franz Josef Land. In 12 giorni si avrà la possibilità di avvistare una fauna artica esotica popolata da orsi polari, balene della Groenlandia e un assortimento incredibile di specie di foche e uccelli marini. Sarà possibile anche visitare i resti delle mitiche spedizioni storiche del XIX secolo. Le crociere artiche hanno un’impostazione marcatamente scientifica e naturalistica e sono appositamente studiate per usufruire delle lunghissime giornate di luce dell’estate artica e per approfittare della minore estensione della calotta artica. Durante la crociera saranno organizzate numerose escursioni a terra e passeggiate guidate per scoprire la fauna e la flora selvatica; queste escursioni in gommone Zodiac, sono incluse e disponibili a tutti i passeggeri durante le spedizioni. Lo scopo principale è l'avvistamento della fauna nel rispetto scrupoloso della natura selvaggia della regione.

MV Hondius - Spitzbergen & Franz Josef Land / Russische Arktis Zuletzt aktualisiert: 17. August 2021 Drucken Diese ehrgeizige Expedition in das 192-Insel-Archipel von Franz Josef Land bietet Ihnen die Möglichkeit, exotische arktische Wildtiere wie Eisbären, Grönlandwale und eine Auswahl an Robben- und Seevogelarten zu beobachten und gleichzeitig die Überreste historischer Expeditionen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert zu besichtigen. Die russische Inselgruppe Franz Josef Land ist nicht nur einer der landschaftlich reizvollsten und wildreichsten Orte im Arktischen Ozean, sondern auch voller Expeditionsgeschichte. Die 192 Inseln des Archipels sind größtenteils vergletschert, umfassen 16.134 Quadratkilometer und werden durch den Britischen Kanal, die Österreichische Straße und die Markham-Straße geteilt. Die größte Insel im Franz Josef Land ist Prince George Land. Die norwegischen Robbenjäger Nils Fredrik Rønnbeck und Johan Petter Aidijärvi entdeckten diese Inseln erstmals 1865, aber erst bei der österreichisch-ungarischen Nordpol-Expedition von Julius von Payer und Karl Weyprecht 1873 wurde die erste gemeldete Sichtung von Franz Josef Land bestätigt. Die Inseln erhielten zu dieser Zeit ihren Namen nach dem österreichischen Kaiser Franz Joseph I. Das Franz-Josef-Land war Schauplatz zahlreicher Expeditionen, und der Besitz der Inseln wurde zeitweise angefochten, bis er schließlich in die russische Gerichtsbarkeit fiel. Die Inseln sind seit 1994 ein Naturschutzgebiet und wurden 2012 Teil des russischen Nationalparks. Es ist Jahre her, seit Oceanwide Expeditions diesen unglaublichen arktischen Archipel erkundet hat, und wir könnten nicht glücklicher sein, zurückzukehren. Dienstag, 17.
