Influence of snow cover on soil freezing and thawing in the West Spitsbergen
This paper presents the results of experimental research of snow cover influence on ground freezing/thawing in Svalbard. Observations show that even before the snow disappearance ground thaws for dozens of centimeters that increases the thaw depth later in the season. Under the snow cover of 40 cm t...
