Simulating the thermal regime and thaw processes of ice-rich permafrost ground with the land-surface model CryoGrid 3
Thawing of permafrost in a warming climate is governed by a complex interplay of different processes of which only conductive heat transfer is taken into account in most model studies. However, observations in many permafrost landscapes demonstrate that lateral and vertical movement of water can hav...
