Graham Cogley 1 INTRODUCTION This report documents the subdivision of Patagonia into hydrographic regions which has been adopted for the labelling of glaciers in WGI-XF, an enlarged version of the World Glacier Inventory (hereafter “WGI”) recently described by Cogley (2009). The format and other technical details of WGI-XF are documented by Cogley (2008). 2 GLACIER INVENTORY OF PATAGONIA One of the aims during the assembly of WGI-XF was to collect all of the published inventory information into a single dataset. The standard version of the WGI, accessible at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Boulder, Colorado (http://nsidc.org/data/docs/noaa/g01130 glacier inventory/), lacks a number of recent additions to the literature and also some of the older material which was lost during the 1980s. For Patagonia, the new regional inventories from which it was possible to extract glacier outlines were those of Aniya (1988, South Patagonian Ice Field), Aniya et al. (1996, North Patagonian Ice Field) and Schneider et al. (2005, 2007; Muńoz Gamero Peninsula). Only locations rather than outlines were available from the inventories of Casassa et al. 2002 (Cordova Peninsula, Isla Riesco), Rivera and Casassa 2004 (some glaciers adjacent to the South Patagonian Ice Field) and Fernández et al. 2005 (Minchinmavida volcano). The older inventory of part of Argentinian Patagonia by Bertone (1960) was also a valuable source, although it required a considerable amount of editing. For example several errors of location were detected, and it was necessary to translate Bertone’s glacier descriptions to WGI classification codes. In addition the Bertone inventory had to be matched carefully to that of Aniya et al. (1996) where Bertone included some of the South Patagonian Ice Field. His entries for the glaciers Viedma, Upsala, Agassiz, Onelli, Heim, “Spegazzini C”, Mayo, Ameghino, Moreno and Frı́as were withheld, while those of Aniya et al. for Chico, Viedma and Upsala glaciers were altered to take account of details provided by Bertone. None of the above sources provide hydrographic codes that are consistent with the drainage basin codes of the WGI (Müller et al. 1977, TTS/WGI 1978, Haeberli et al. 1989). The digitization of an internally consistent set of drainage basins is time-consuming, especially under the constraint that it be well-adapted to the purposes of glacier inventory. According to convention, this constraint implies among other things that the basins should not only be arranged hierarchically but numbered in clockwise order at each level in the hierarchy. Compiling the glacier inventory is itself very time-consuming, and many regional investigators have been unable to allocate the time required for hydrographic subdivision of their glacierized regions. The present report is not about a regional inventory but rather about a compilation of existing information. It seemed that a useful contribution could be made by devoting some time to the development of a consistent regionalization of Patagonia. This would serve the aims of WGI-XF as well as being of possible practical use in the actual inventory work. It should be understood, however, that the regionalization presented here was necessarily based on maps and digital sources of small spatial scale. The positions of drainage divides are expected to be insufficiently accurate in many cases for the future assignment of codes to single glaciers. Rather, it is the topology of the whole collection of divides that may be useful, with the geometry of each individual divide subject to improvement when better cartographic information becomes available. 1 3 HYDROGRAPHIC REGIONS OF PATAGONIA The WGI’s hydrographic system assigns a hydrographic code — a set of seven 1-character codes — to each identified hydrographic region. (As will be seen, the term “drainage basin” is a misnomer in places such as Patagonia where the coastline is very complex.) The codes are organized hierarchically, such that a) the region identified by [code 1] contains all of the regions identified by [code 1 plus code 2], and so on; and b) the set of all regions with identifiers of the form [code 1 to code 7] is equal in coverage to the region identified by [code 1]. That is, if the system were complete, every point on the Earth’s land surface would belong to exactly one 7-character hydrographic region. The hydrographic code as just described is a slight extension of the formal definition (TTS/WGI 1978), because it is assumed, following nearly all earlier workers, that the sixth and seventh characters represent sub-basins. Strictly speaking, they may be used at the discretion of the regional compiler. The hydrographic code is followed by a 3-character code to identify each particular glacier, and preceded by a 2-character code to identify the country to which the glacier belongs. Patagonia, in the WGI system, consists of hydrographic regions 1I, 1K and 1L. Code 1 designates the continent, in this case “1” for South America. Code 2 is the “major basin” code, an upper-case Roman letter. Region 1J, the basin of the Colorado, is considered here not to be part of Patagonia. Region 1I is the Atlantic seaboard of Patagonia, region 1K is constituted by all of the South American islands south of the Straits of Magellan, and region 1L is the Pacific coast of Patagonia. Each of these three regions is partly in Chile (WGI country code “RC”) and partly in Argentina (WGI country code “RA”). The assignment of the five higher-order character codes is the responsibility of the compiler. Although the WGI specifications urge adherence to the Horton-Strahler scheme of basin ordering, that scheme has shortcomings which have emerged in several regional inventories in the past. In Patagonia the weaknesses are particularly noticeable because of the large number of islands to be covered. Therefore the principles guiding regionalization in the present work were, in order of precedence: firstly, to ensure complete “exactlyonce” coverage, so that a randomly-selected point can be assigned unambiguously to a hydrographic region (perhaps automatically); secondly, to observe the clockwise-ordering convention as closely as practicable at each level of the hierarchy; thirdly, to delineate as many as possible of the hydrographic regions as drainage basins in the conventional sense (delivering runoff to a river mouth or in some cases to the entrance to a fiord). The result of applying these principles is illustrated in Figure 1, and is set out in detail in Tables 1, 2 and 3. One of the advantages of the hierarchical WGI scheme is that time and effort do not have to be wasted on subdividing extensive areas with no glaciers. Regions 1I3, 1I5 and 1K1 are examples; in full, their 7-character codes are completed by padding with zeros, as in “1I50000”. On the other hand, glacierized regions which have been inventoried completely can be subdivided to a level of detail which should satisfy most needs. Close inspection of Figure 1 and Table 3 will show, for example, that all seven of the available codes are used on Isla Riesco, region 1L03 (Casassa et al. 2002). Only five characters were required, however, for the inventory of the Muñoz Gamero Peninsula by Schneider et al. (2005, 2007). About 1200 glaciers in the basin of the Negro (region 1I0) appear in the NSIDC version of the WGI. Some of these, in the headwater parts of the Limay sub-basin, can be seen in Figure 1, but region 1I0 has not been subdivided in the present study. In WGI-XF all of these glaciers retain their original codes. About 50 WGI glaciers in the basin of the Puelo/Manso have been recoded in WGI-XF. Their original code has been altered to 1L731 or 1L732. For completeness, the regionalization adopted in WGI-XF for the inventory of Garin (1987) in northern Chile is set out in Tables 4 and 5.
