MARC recordSimulating active layer thaw in a boreal environment / Ming-ko Woo, Michael Mollinga, Sharon L. Smith.
| Title: | Simulating active layer thaw in a boreal environment / Ming-ko Woo, Michael Mollinga, Sharon L. Smith. |
| Author(s): | Woo, Ming-ko. Mollinga, Michael. Smith, Sharon L. |
| Date: | 2006. |
| In: | Géographie Physique et Quaternaire. (2006.), Vol. 60(1) (2006) |
| Abstract: | Reports testing of algorithm to determine phase change of soil moisture using ground surface temperature as upper boundary condition and conduction to transfer heat to freeze-thaw front. Test is conducted on permafrost site near Wrigley, NWT, where computed thaw penetration compares satisfactorrily with field data. Also conducts ground-thaw simulation experiments on three sites in Mackenzie valley. Results of simulation demonstrate sensitivity of active layer thaw to soil materials, moisture content, and inter-annual variations in ground surface temperature. |
