摘要
The Minimum Snow/Ice (MSI) extent is an important climate and environmental indicator related to surface hydrology and freshwater resources. Variations in the MSI extent over the four first-order regions (1-4) included in the Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI) for Canada and the Northern USA were analyzed in this study using an improved land-water mask to better discriminate landfast ice in the high Arctic coastal zone. The analysis utilized warm season snow/ice probability maps derived from MODIS clear-sky composite imagery at a 250-m spatial resolution. Results showed statistically significant declining trends in the minimum snow/ice extent with the average value of the slope for the entire area (-1,177.7 +/- 362.8) km2/yr. The variations in MSI extent are well correlated with surface air temperature. The correlation coefficients are statistically significant, ranging from -0.79 to -0.82. The detailed analysis revealed a reduction of the area with snow/ice probability 100% over the RGI glaciated zones, while areas with lower probability values were increasing in size, which may be interpreted as an indication of general glacier shrinkage over the study area. L'& eacute;tendue minimale de neige/glace (MNG) est un indicateur climatique et environnemental important li & eacute; & agrave; l'hydrologie de surface et aux ressources en eau douce. Les variations du MNG dans les quatre r & eacute;gions de premier ordre (1-4) incluses dans l'Inventaire de glaciers Randolph (IGR) pour le Canada et le nord des & Eacute;tats-Unis ont & eacute;t & eacute; analys & eacute;es dans cette & eacute;tude & agrave; l'aide d'un masque terre-eau am & eacute;lior & eacute; pour mieux identifier la glace de mer dans les zone c & ocirc;ti & egrave;re du Haut-Arctique. L'analyze a utilis & eacute; les cartes de probabilit & eacute; de neige/glace de la saison chaude d & eacute;riv & eacute;es de l'imagerie composite de ciel clair MODIS & agrave; une r & eacute;solution spatiale de 250 m. Les r & eacute;sultats ont montr & eacute; des tendances statistiquement significatives & agrave; la baisse de l'& eacute;tendue minimale de neige/glace avec la valeur moyenne de la pente pour l'ensemble de la zone (-1777.7 +/- 362.8) km2/an. Les variations de l'& eacute;tendue du MNG sont bien corr & eacute;l & eacute;es & agrave; la temp & eacute;rature de l'air en surface. Les coefficients de corr & eacute;lation sont statistiquement significatifs, variant de -0,79 & agrave; -0,82. L'analyze d & eacute;taill & eacute;e a montr & eacute; une r & eacute;duction de 100% de la zone avec une probabilit & eacute; de neige/glace sur les zones glaciaires IGR, tandis que les zones avec des valeurs de probabilit & eacute; plus faibles augmentaient leurs surfaces, ce qui peut & ecirc;tre interpr & eacute;t & eacute; comme une indication du retrait g & eacute;n & eacute;ral des glaciers sur la zone d'& eacute;tude.
