The data files are named according to their corresponding content and numbered based on their order of appearance in the manuscript for easy reference.<br><br>1. Historical EDPWaim: to robustly acquire historical (1980-2018) climate change and permafrost's response along the elevation zoning"maat_cr" and "prcp_cr": elevation dependency of air warming (EDW) and wetting was extracted from multiple reanalysis datasets"gt0m_cr", "gt3m_cr", "gt10m_cr" and "alt_cr": elevation dependency of permafrost warming (EDPW) were provided by our multi-forcing ensemble simulations (EXP1-4)<br>2. Validation for Historical EDPWaim: to validate simulated historical EDPW"era5L": elevation dependency of soil warming simulated by ERA5-Land for permafrost region"lst": elevation dependency of land surface warming retrieved from TRIMS LST dataset for permafrost region<br>3. Changes in Elevation Dependency of Permafrostaim: to revisit the classical elevation dependency of alpine permafrost proposed by Cheng and Francesco (1992)"gt0m_slice", "gt3m_slice", "gt10m_slice" and "alt_slice": changes in elevation dependency of permafrost warming from 1980s to 2010s<br>4. Climate Sensitivityaim: to mediate the impacts of spatially and temporally varying air warming"alt_sens" and "gt3m_sens": the sensitivities of ALT (active layer thickness) and GT3m (ground temperature at 3 m) to air warming were derived from historical multi-forcing simulations.<br>5. Validation for Climate Sensitivityaim: to validate the climate sensivity derived from simulation"alt_sens" and "gt3m_sens": the sensivities of ALT and GT3m to air warming were derived from Sun et al. (2023) (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.accre.2023.04.006 )<br>6. Future EDPWaim: to make future projection of EDPW"maat_cr", "edw": the projected regional air warming and its EDW magnitude under four SSPs at the decadal scale, which is calculated based on HiCPC dataset"edpw_alt", "edpw_gt3m": the projected EDPW by multiplying the climate sensivity model and future air warming
