MODICE for Upper Indus tiles, h23v05 and h24v05, 2000-2010. Persistent ice zenith is +/- 25 degrees. Line plot shows total area MODICE, +/- "never_seen" pixels, clipped for area of the Upper Indus Basin (WB shapefile).

Upper Indus Basin MODICE area (doing a quick search online, I found an ICIMOD publication at http://books.icimod.org/uploads/tmp/icimod-climate_change_impacts_on_the_water_resources_of_the_indus_basin:_.pdf that says "One third of the upper Indus basin lies above 5000m and a large part of this is glaciated: an estimated 15,000 sq.km within Pakistan alone, equivalent to some 2,750 cu.km of ice reserves." so this is in the ballpark, I think.


MODICE last FSCA value in blues (dark blue=1% to white=100%), yellow = "never_seen"
