Figure 4.12 Soil texture categories (upper) and ecotype groups (lower) for northern Alaska. 51 different ecotype-soil texture combinations were used to parameterize ground thermal properties for the 770×770 m computational grid cells for use in model applications. The locations of the temperature monitoring sites by the University of Alaska Geophysical Institute and United States Geological Survey are marked in the upper plot and the locations of the Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) sites are marked in the lower plot (Nicolsky et al., 2017).
