Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) Program Network

Entry ID: ggd313

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The CALM network currently includes 130 active sites in both hemispheres, with 15 participating countries. An additional 20 or more secondary sites are co-located with these primary sites, resulting in a total over 150 sites that report active-layer thickness on an annual basis. 100 sites collect soil and permafrost temperature data; of these, 60 are from boreholes. Maximum active layer thickness ...
