Dataset for Permafrost Thaw across the Tibetan Plateau

<p>This datasets include four directories, which are respectively:</p> <p>1. Historical Ta and P</p> <p>This directory includes the bias-corrected daily air temperature and precipitation data during 1980-2019 used as the input data for historical simulation. ERA5 reanalysis dataset is selected as the background field and quality-controlled observations at 97 meteorological stations within and surrounding the Tibetan Plateau have been used for bias correction.</p> <p>2. Permafrost Distribution</p> <p>&nbsp; The simulated historical permafrost distribution in 1980 and 2019, and the projected permafrost distribution in 2060 and 2100 respectively under SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 in the Tibetan Plateau.</p> <p>&nbsp; 0: area without permafrost;</p> <p>&nbsp; 1: area underlain by permafrost without talik;</p> <p>&nbsp; 2: area underlain by permafrost with talik;</p> <p>3. Permafrost Table Depth</p> <p>&nbsp; The simulated spatial distribution of permafrost table depth in 1980 and 2019, and the projected spatial distribution of permafrost table depth in 2060 and 2100 respectively under SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 in the Tibetan Plateau. For the area underlain by permafrost without talik, the permafrost table depth is equivalent to active layer thickness. The scope of near-surface permafrost is defined as the regions where permafrost table depth is less than 3 m, that is, permafrost exists in the top 3 m soil layer. (unit: m)</p> <p>4. TP Sub-region Scope</p> <p>A shape file for the scope of the 10 sub-regions in the Tibetan Plateau.</p>
