External Data Spec

Permafrost in the Swiss Alps

External Data Spec Published 24 Oct 2011
PERMOS is based on three types of observations: (1) ground temperatures measured at and below the surface at borehole sites, (2) changes in subsurface ice and unfrozen water content at these sites in- ferred by geoelectrical surveys, and (3) velocities of permafrost creep determined by geodetic surveys and/or photogrammetry. In addition, standardized documentation of fast mass movements from permafrost areas (e.g., rock fall) is being established.

Figure Comparison of maximum active layer depth from different boreholes in the Swiss Alps and Norway (including Svalbard) The figure shows the comparison of the active layer thickness from boreholes in the Swiss Alps and Norway (including Svalbard). Data for the Swiss sites are provided by the Swiss Permafrost Monitoring Network (PERMOS), data for the Norwegian sites by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.

Observed permafrost temperatures from selected boreholes in European mountains The figure shows observed permafrost temperatures from 10 m (left) and 20 m (right) depth and their evolution for selected boreholes in European mountains: the sites of the PACE transect and two additional sites in Switzerland (Matterhorn and M.d. Barba Peider) and one in Norway (Dovrefjell).
