摘要
The distribution of cold and temperate ice and water in polythermal glaciers is an important characteristic in studying their thermal regime, hydrology, and response to climate change. Data analysis of ground-based radio-echo sounding of 16 glaciers in Nordenskiold Land in Spitsbergen shows that 5 of them are of cold type and 12 are of polythermal type. The mean thickness of cold and temperate ice in polythermal glaciers varies from 11 +/- 2 to 66 +/- 6 m and from 6 +/- 2 to 96 +/- 9 m, respectively, and their ratio varies from 0.30 to 5.31. The volume of temperate ice in polythermal glaciers varies from 0.0009 to 3.733 (+/- 10%) km(3). With water content of 2% in temperate ice in these glaciers they might contain in total up to similar to 93.5 x 10(6) m(3) of liquid water. Radar data suggest the greater water content or greater size of water inclusions in near-bottom temperate ice.
