Impacts of snow on soil temperature observed across the circumpolar north

Climate warming has significant impacts on permafrost, infrastructure and soil organic carbon at the northern high latitudes. These impacts are mainly driven by changes in soil temperature (T _S ). Snow insulation can cause significant differences between T _S and air temperature (T _A ), and our un...
