Map of permafrost distribution for Austria, Europe

This dataset contains a simulation of regional permafrost distribution for Austria based on the Permakart 3.0 modell developped by Schrott et al. (2012). The original model was created and calibrated using validation data from the Hohe Tauern range only. Here we used the same modelling parameter and extended the simulation to the entire Austrian Alps. Please note: The simulation was not validated for other parts of the country and may be erronous. Furthermore, the field evidence was collected between 2009 and 2011 and may not be valid anymore.The raster dataset contains values from 0-100 representing a pseudo-probability of permafrost occurence.For more information on the modell and field data please refer to the original publication (see "Related to" Reference).
