Thermal regime of a supraglacial lake on debris-covered Koxkar glacier,southwestern Tianshan,China
科其喀尔冰川冰面湖温度变化及其热机制

Based on the scientific expedition carried out on Koxkar Glacier,Southwestern Tianshan,July to September,2007,the temperature variations of supraglacial lake,debris,and debris-free ice at different depths were analyzed and the thermal regime of the supraglacial lake was discussed.It is found that the surface water temperature of the supraglacial lake is obviously impacted by the instantaneous weather conditions and fluctuated with air temperature but usually lag behind the changing of air temperature.The va...
