The Arctic is currently experiencing rapid increases in air temperature and changes in the precipitation patterns. Consequently, an increase in winter snowfall may be expected in the Arctic. Due to enhanced thermal insulation of deepened snow, soil temperature during winter becomes warmer, which cou...
