英文摘要 | Permafrost is present within almost all of the Antarctic s ice-free areas, but little is known about spatial variations in permafrost temperatures except for a few areas with established ground temperature measurements. We modelled a temperature at the top of the permafrost (TTOP) for all the ice-free areas of the Antarctic mainland and Antarctic islands at 1 km2 resolution during 2000 2017. The model was driven by remotely sensed land surface temperatures and downscaled ERA-Interim climate reanalysis data, and subgrid permafrost variability was simulated by variable snow cover. The results were validated against in situ-measured ground temperatures from 40 permafrost boreholes, and the resulting root-mean-square error was 1.9 °C. The lowest near-surface permafrost temperature of 36 °C was modelled at Mount Markham in the Queen Elizabeth Range in the Transantarctic Mountains. This is the lowest permafrost temperature on Earth, according to global-scale modelling results. The temperatures were most commonly modelled between 23 and 18 °C for mountainous areas rising above the Antarctic Ice Sheet and between 14 and 8 °C for coastal areas. The model performance was good where snow conditions were modelled realistically, but errors of up to 4 °C occurred at sites with strong wind-driven redistribution of snow. © 2020 SPIE.
