A simplified permafrost-carbon model for long-term climate studies with the CLIMBER-2 coupled earth system model

We present the development and validation of a simplified permafrost-carbon mechanism for use with the land surface scheme operating in the CLIMBER-2 earth system model. The simplified model estimates the permafrost fraction of each grid cell according to the balance between modelled cold (below 0 °...
