Influence of climatic and terrain factors on ground temperatures at three locations in the permafrost region of Canada

Regular periodic measurements (at least monthly) of ground temperatures are being taken by the Division of Building Research, National Research Council of Canada, at three locations in northern Canada to assess the influence of climatic and terrain factors on permafrost. These are Thompson, Manitoba...
