Dataset description This dataset provides the data associated with the article: Cao, Z.; Nan, Z.; Hu, J.; Chen, Y.; Zhang, Y. A new 2010 permafrost distribution map over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau based on subregion survey maps: a benchmark for regional permafrost modelling. This dataset contains a new 2010 permafrost distribution map over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the data used in the mapping. All data are provided as GeoTIFF(.tif) files. The spatial resolution is 1 km, and the geographic coordinate system is WGS_1984. 1. "permafrost_distribution_map_2010_QTP.tif" is the 2010 permafrost distribution map over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 2. "soil_cluster_QTP.tif" is the spatial distribution of the resulting soil clusters on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. 3. "DDT_mean_annual.tif" contains annual thawing indices on the QTP averaged from 2005-2010 derived from MODIS LST data. 4. "DDF_mean_annual.tif" contains annual freezing indices on the QTP averaged from 2005-2010 derived from MODIS LST data. Abstract ...
