The influence of seasonally frozen ground (SFG) on water, energy, and solute fluxes is
important in cold climate regions. The hydrological role of permafrost is now being actively …

A prototype algorithm for hemispheric scale detection of autumn soil freezing using space-
borne L-band passive microwave observations is presented. The methodology is based on …

The freeze–thaw changes of seasonally frozen ground (SFG) are an important indicator of
climate change. Based on observed daily freeze depth of SFG from meteorological stations …

We present a novel algorithm for detecting seasonal soil freezing processes using L-band
microwave radiometry. L-band is the optimal choice of frequency for the monitoring of soil …

Large parts of the northern hemisphere are covered by snow and seasonal frost. Climate
warming is affecting spatiotemporal variations of snow and frost, hence influencing …

Vegetation cover has implications for seasonally frozen soil dynamics and greenhouse gas
emissions. We examined the frozen soil dynamics and N 2 O and CO 2 efflux in a forest …

Permafrost is ground that remains at or below 0° C for two or more consecutive years. It is
overlain by an active layer which thaws and freezes annually. The difference between these …

Svalbards permafrost is thawing as a direct consequence of climate change. In the Low
Arctic, vegetation has been shown to slow down and reduce the active layer thaw, yet it is …

In northern climates, accurate simulation of thermal and hydrological budgets for farmlands
overwinter is crucial for both an accurate prediction of spring flooding and the successful …

Winter snowpack in seasonally snow-covered regions plays an important role in moderating
ecosystem processes by insulating soil from freezing air temperatures. However, climate …
