Abstract

Data for Figure 2.25 from Chapter 2 of the Working Group I (WGI) Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).

Figure 2.25 shows changes in permafrost temperature for 4 Arctic regions over the period 1974-2019 shown as average departures from the International Polar Year (2007-2009) baseline.

Abstract

Changes in permafrost temperature. Average departures of permafrost temperature (measured in the upper 20–30 m) from a baseline established during International Polar Year (2007–2009) for Arctic regions.
