Circumpolar Active-Layer Monitoring (CALM): Long-term Observations on the Climate Active-Layer Permafrost System
Depth of annual thaw in permafrost-affected environments (
active-layer thickness
) is one of the main indicators of permafrost stability. This parameter is considered to be the essential climatic variable by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS).
CALM is the only coordinated program providing collection, standardization, and dissemination of active-layer observations world-wide.
