Dataset descriptionThis dataset provides the data associated with the article: Cao, Z., Nan, Z., Hu, J., Chen, Y., & Zhang, Y. (2022). A new 2010 permafrost distribution map over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau based on subregion survey maps: a benchmark for regional permafrost modeling. Earth System Science Data 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 ...
