Climatic Relationships of Permafrost Zones in Areas of Low Winter Snow-Cover

ABSTRACT. In areas with under 50 cm snow cover in winter, the permafrost zones show diagnostic long term freezing indices and thawing indices. The warmer boundary of the zone of continuous permafrost traverses the mean annual air temperature (MAAT). The boundary between discontinuous and sporadic pe...
