In this study, we report the snow algal blooms observed in Mt. Echigo-Komagatake located in Niigata prefecture, Japan. Field investigation was conducted in late June of 2021 on a snow patch located in an alpine zone at an altitude of 2000 m above sea level. Patches of snow with red, green, or brown color were observed on the snowpack. Microscopic observation showed that the colored snow contained various morpho-types of snow algal cells, which appeared to be similar to those previously reported in Japan. The algal communities of the colored snow were mostly dominated by red spherical cells, which is likely to be Sanguina nivaloides, and consistent with those of the red snow reported in other alpine snowpacks in Japan. However, some samples showed a community consisting of various cell types, including multiple species of genus Chloromonas. The difference in community structure may be due to distance from vegetation around the snow patch, nutrient conditions of the snow, and/or growth period of the algae. The snow algal blooms of Mt. Echigo-Komagatake can be characterized by the appearance of various colors and algal communities on a snowpack.","PeriodicalId":9345,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of glaciological research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135057021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this contribution, we describe the a physical, chemical, and ecosystem survey at Saroma-ko Lagoon, conducted over February 23–28, 2019 under the auspices of the SLOPE2019 (Saroma-ko Lagoon Observations for sea ice Physico-chemistry and Ecosystems 2019) program. Sea ice cores were collected to examine temperature, salinity, oxygen isotopic ratio, thin sections, and chemical and biological parameters such as carbonate chemistry, CH 4 , nutrients, chlorophyll a concentrations, and ice algae community assemblage. Broadband and spectral irradiance measurements were carried out above/under the sea ice, and different sensors were inter-compared at close positions and environments. Equipment such as spectrometers, air–sea ice CO 2 /CH 4 flux chamber, and under-ice turbulent heat flux systems were tested for future Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. Finally, an artificial pool was dug into the sea ice to understand the effect of snow particles on ice growth and to compare the gas exchange process over sea ice with an ice-free water surface.

With manual interpretation of 150 remote sensing images of aerial surveys, vertical aerial photographs, Landsat MSS, TM, ETM and OLI, ALOS, and ASTER images, 19 GLOFs were captured/inferred by focusing on icebergs and water levels, except two periods in the 1980 s and the 1990 s for which no image was available. This translates to the occurrence of the GLOF on average once ca. every 14 months. Many GLOFs occurred in late summer to early fall, with a few in late spring: but one GLOF was inferred to have occurred in wintertime. The causes of GLOFs were supposed to be heavy rainfalls, probably accompanied with rapid snow/ice melting by warm air temperatures, judging from the general weather condition over the laguna area. The latest two GLOFs (2016 & 2017) were very large, enough to have completely exposed the lake floor in the middle section. The GLOF of 2017 (Mar. 31) was registered in a hydrograph set up at Lower Río Huemules. After this GLOF, the water level has become stable with a more or less continuous outlet stream along the glacier sidewall and there has been no GLOF to date. So probably the prospect of another GLOF has considerably diminished by now. As Glaciar Steffen receded about 6 km during this study period, the glacier has thinned accordingly, to which the water level adjusted with three distinctive relatively stable states while fluctuating frequently.","PeriodicalId":9345,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of glaciological research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71026690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we monitored trunk bending stresses using strain gauges during the snowfall season at two sites, Tadami and Kaneyama, both in a cool-temperate forest in Japan. Measurements were made of the various sizes and trunk shapes of beech trees at Tadami, and of beech trees and Japanese cedars at Kaneyama. Young’s modulus and bending strength were also measured. At Tadami, beech trees with substantially curved trunks often bent down to the ground surface soon after snowfall started. The strain no longer increased once a tree had lodged; however, individuals with larger diameters had stresses exceeding the proportional limit stress. By contrast, among beech trees with erect trunks, those with larger diameters had smaller maximum strain and estimated stress values. These results imply that in areas greatly affected by snow, beech trees struggle both to remain erect and to grow to diameters of 10 cm or more. At Kaneyama, large strain values exceeding 1 % were observed in trees with a diameter at breast height ≤7 cm, all of which were cedars. Among trees of the same diameter, strain values were lower in beech trees than in cedars, and Young’s modulus was three times larger for beech trees. These results indicate that it is more difficult to grow erect cedars compared to erect beech trees in regions with deep snow.","PeriodicalId":9345,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of glaciological research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71026075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sources of these PAHs were the snow mobiles and diesel electric generators used for scientific research from 29th December 2015 to 4th February 2016. Most of the measured PAH concentrations were low before the research campaign (lower than the detection limit or quantification limit), then increased due to the research activities, and finally decreased to a low level (lower than the quantification limit), probably because of strong blizzard winds. In addition, photolysis of the PAHs in the polluted snow samples under Antarctic conditions was investigated. The snow samples polluted by diesel electric generators were collected before and after irradiation under Antarctic sunlight (11 days); however, a decrease in PAH concentration was not observed. It was concluded that photolysis was not the main sink of the PAHs in Antarctic snow, but the occurrence of blizzard/drifting snow decreased the PAH concentration. In this paper, the preservation method for the snow samples to measure the PAHs correctly was also evaluated. To stabilize the PAHs in snow, hexane had to be added to the snow sample. Even if the snow sample was kept in a freezer, PAHs evaporated without hexane.","PeriodicalId":9345,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of glaciological research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5331/bgr.19a02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71026203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
