Figure 3.10 Permafrost temperatures (derived from Christiansen et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2013) and permafrost zones (from the map of Brown et al., 2014). The temperatures represent mean annual ground temperature at the depth of zero annual amplitude (the depth below which there is no significant seasonal variation in ground temperature) or at the depth of the closest measurement. The data were generally collected since 2008. The permafrost zone categories, indicated by the dark-to-light gray shading, are continuous (90–100% cover), discontinous (50–90% cover), and sporadic (10–50% cover).
