Permafrost occurrence from BTS measurements and climatic parameters in the eastern Swiss Alps

Relations between climatic parameters such as temperature and potential direct solar radiation (PR) and measured bottom temperatures of the snow cover (BTS) as indicator of permafrost occurrence were investigated. No significant correlation exists between mean annual air temperature (MAAT) and BTS....
