Abstract. Dust particles from high latitudes have a potentially large local, regional, and global significance to climate the environment as short-lived forcers, air pollutants, nutrient sources. Identifying locations of local dust sources their emission, transport, deposition processes is important for understanding multiple impacts high-latitude (HLD) on Earth's systems. Here, we identify, describe, quantify source intensity (SI) values, which show potential soil surfaces emission scaled...
In this study, we assess the accuracy and precision of digital elevation models (DEM) retrieved from aerial photographs taken in 2011 Very High Resolution satellite images (WorldView-2 Pléiades) period 2012–2017. Additionally, freely available Strip product ArcticDEM was verified. We use DEMs to characterize geometry changes over Hansbreen Hornbreen, two tidewater glaciers southern Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The satellite-based WorldView-2 Pléiades stereo pairs were processed using Rational...
Abstract The warming climate of the Arctic affects mass budget glaciers, and changes in distribution glacier facies are indicative their response to change. glacial over large land ice masses can be estimated by remote sensing techniques, but selecting an efficient method for recognizing mapping remains a challenge. In this study, we compared several methods distinguishing Vestfonna cap, Svalbard, based upon Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images terrestrial high frequency Ground Penetrating...
Abstract. Dust particles emitted from high latitudes (≥ 50° N and ≥ 40° S, including Arctic as a subregion 60° N), have potentially large local, regional, global significance to climate environment short-lived forcers, air pollutants nutrient sources. To understand the multiple impacts of High Latitude (HLD) on Earth systems, it is foremost identify geographic locations characteristics local dust Here, we identify, describe, quantify Source Intensity (SI) values using Global Sand Storms Base...
In recent years, the Svalbard area, especially its southern section, has been characterised by an exceptionally thin snow cover, which a significant impact of annual mass balance glaciers. The objective this study was to determine melting processes cover deposited on 11 glaciers that terminate into Hornsund Fjord during period 2014. included analyses pits and cores, meteorological data collected from automatic weather stations Polish Polar Station Hornsund, supervised classification six...
Natural mineral particulate matter deposited from aerosols and trapped in glaciers—herein defined as “cryodust”—may be an excellent indicator of atmospheric circulation, if terrestrial sources dust can identified. In this study, we analyzed the composition cryodust shallow ice cores taken five glaciers Southern Spitsbergen (Svalbard Archipelago, Northern Norway). The chemical composition, magnetic properties radiogenic ages individual grains were measured, where possible, to provide...
Changes in glacier zones (e.g., firn, superimposed ice, ice) are good indicators of response to climate change. There few studies zone detection by SAR that focused on more than one ice body and validated terrestrial data. This study is unique terms the dataset collected—four C- L-band quad-pol satellite images, Ground Penetrating Radar data, shallow cores—and number land bodies analyzed, namely, three tidewater glaciers Svalbard cap Iceland. The main aim assess how well popular methods...
In the 60th year after placing of corner stone under Polish Polar Station at Hornsund (PPSH; Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway), a new capsule has been laid down in vicinity PPSH. It is made stainless steel, and includes five steel containers, each carrying message on different themes our lives. The written language objects, them speaking for itself. with containers buried 4.2 m deep hole, drilled scientific purposes. host rocks are Precambrian gneisses, representing basement polar archipelago....
