GCOS EHI 1960-2020 Permafrost Heat Content

The file “GCOS_EHI_1960-2020_Permafrost_Heat_Content_data.nc” presents the first estimate of permafrost heat storage within the Arctic region for the period 1960-2020. A perturbed parameter ensemble of simulations using the CryoGridLite permafrost model and climate forcings from the ERA-Interim reanalysis (1979-2020) and the Mk3L climate system model (500 CE -1979) allow to estimate the latent heat flux due to phase change in the subsurface from the surface to 550 m of depth. This ensemble of simulations allows to retrieve the uncertainty due to the unknown distribution of ground ice in the Arctic. More info: ESSOAr preprint server, https://doi.org/10.1002/essoar.10511600 .1. The data are described in Nitzbon et al. (2022), and used in von Schuckmann et al. (2022).
