 Temporal variations of accumulation and temperature during the past two centuries from Belukha ice core, Siberian Altai
The temporal variation of accumulation and temperature in the Siberian Altai were investigated using a 86 m long ice core from Belukha glacier (49°48′26″N, 86°34′43″E, 4062 m a.s.l.), covering the time period 1816 to 2001.
This reflects an amplified regional climate response following the Little Ice Age (LIA) as compared to the Northern Hemisphere average, most probably caused by the strong continentality of the Siberian Altai region.
The sudden onset of large melt features since 1988 indicates that the upper reaches of Belukha glacier are experiencing a change from the recrystallization to the cold-infiltration zone that now allows for multiannual percolation of meltwater, implying that the conservation of accumulation and geochemical properties, including those providing temperature proxies, is currently endangered.
