Englacial and subglacial drainage systems of temperate glaciers have a strong influence on glacier dynamics,glacier-induced floods,glacier-weathering processes,and runoff from glacierized drainage basins.Proglacial discharge is partly controlled by the geometry of the glacial drainage network and by the process of producing meltwater.The glacial-drainage system of some alpine glaciers has been characterized using a model based on proglacial discharge analysis,In this paper,we apply cross-correlation analysis to hourly hydro-climatic data collected from China's Hailuogou Glacier,a typical temperate glacier in Mt.Gongga,to study the seasonal status changes of the englacial and subglacial drainage systems by discharge-temperature (Q-T)9 time lag analysis.During early ablation season (April-May) of 2003,2004 and 2005,the change of englacial and subglaclal drainage system usually leads several outburst flood events,which are also substantiated by observing the leakage of supraglacial pond and crevasses pond water during field works in April,2008.At the end of ablation season (October-December),the glacial-drainage networks become less hydro-efficient.Those events are evidenced by hourly hydro-process near the terminus of Hailuogou Glacier,and the analysis of Q-T time lags also can be a good indicator of thosc changes.However,more detailed observations or experiments,e.g.dye-tracing experiment and recording borehole water level variations,are necessary to describe the evolutionary status and processes of englacial and subglacial drainage systems evolution during ablation season.
