Image Title:
Annual mean ground temperatures at 1-meter depth
Image Description:
Annual mean ground temperatures at 1-meter depth for 2001-10, 2041-50, and 2091-2100. Fields are from GIPL permafrost model simulations driven by downscaled CMIP3 climate model output for the B1 (bottom panels) and A2 (top panels) scenarios. As indicated by color bars, blue shades represent temperatures below 32°F (0°C) and yellow-to-red shades represent temperatures above 32°F (0°C). Figure provided by S. Marchenko and the Geophysical Institute Permafrost Laboratory, University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
