190 order of 10 km along an E-W oriented fault (G-28). Numerous linear or curvilinear valleys and canyon sections of the principal drainage, e.g. the Gez River (C-21) also indicate a high degree of tectonic and structural control. These linear features frequently mark the transition to alpine terrain. In the nival-alpine region, steep slope gradients and rugged relief are pronounced by considerable radar shadow and layover effects. The overall image texture of the terrain is relatively coarse. The dominating effect of topography on the intensity of the radar signal obscures the outlines of snowfields (D-23/24). Associated with these areas are more than a dozen sizeable glacier tongues, e.g. B-22. Their elongated shape and bands of lateral moraines are important recognition elements on the radar image. The varying tonal expression of the individual glacier surfaces is obviously a function of surface roughness, the physical properties of the ice, the surface cover such as rock debris and the local incidence angle of the radar beam. A glacier tongue on the northern slope of the Kingata Range (H-27) i s of particular interest because of its unusually bright image tone. This may be the result of multiple reflection along ice-seracs, or tension cracks, of the glacier flow structure. Large scale deformation of entire glacier surfaces are known to occur during short term glacier surges and are common features in other areas of the Pamirs. 5.2 Oasis Agriculture and Water Management The occurence of oases is almost exclusively restricted to the alluvial plain and includes Plate 1. SIR-A image of the eastern Pamirs and cultivated areas of the Kashgar oasis in western Xinjiang, China. Figure 5. Interpretation map of the natural drainage and irrigation schemes within the study area.
