Changes in permafrost spatial distribution and active layer thickness from 1980 to 2020 on the Tibet Plateau

Tongqing Shen et al.

Summary: The Tibetan Plateau is facing extensive permafrost degradation due to climate change, posing a serious threat to water and ecosystem management. This study used empirical models and machine learning methods to map the spatial distribution of permafrost and active layer thickness in the region. The results show a decrease in permafrost area and an increase in active layer thickness, mainly attributed to warming. The findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics and influencing factors of permafrost changes on the Tibetan Plateau.

Quantified spatial-temporal variation of the fine-scale frozen soils during 1980-2014 in the headwaters of the Yellow River (HWYR) in High Mountain Asia

Aili Sun et al.

Summary: Global warming has accelerated permafrost degradation in the headwaters of the Yellow River. A hydrothermal dynamics model was used to estimate various factors related to permafrost degradation. From 1980 to 2014, the permafrost area decreased by 17,849 km2, with significant changes in depth to permafrost table, maximum frozen depth, thaw date, and annual number of frozen days. The rates of change varied depending on the location and environmental factors.

Changes of timing and duration of the ground surface freeze on the Tibetan Plateau in the highly wetting period from 1998 to 2021

Xuewei Fang et al.

Summary: A recent study using numerical methods has reported a dual cooling and warming effect of precipitation on permafrost over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). However, the relationships among snow cover depth, summer rainfall, vegetation dynamics, and the thermal regime of frozen ground have not been well demonstrated yet. This study investigates the changes in freeze dates, freeze duration, and freeze days from 1998-2021 based on meteorological records, and finds that both greening and absence of spring snow depth favor the thermal response of surface seasonally frozen ground to warming and wetting, while enhanced summer rainfall warms the permafrost but cools the seasonally frozen ground remarkably after 1998. The combined effects of thinning snow cover depth, increasing rainfall, expanding vegetation cover, and air warming have dominated the thermal degradation of frozen ground, especially in wetter zones.

Continentality determines warming or cooling impact of heavy rainfall events on permafrost

Alexandra Hamm et al.

Summary: Literature analysis and numerical modeling experiments show that the continentality of a permafrost region affects whether the ground warms or cools due to heavy summer rainfall. Permafrost thaw can contribute to climate change through carbon release. While the effect of air temperature on permafrost thaw is well understood, the impact of rainfall is variable and not well known. This study reviews literature on the effects of rainfall on ground temperatures in permafrost environments and uses a numerical model to explore the underlying mechanisms under different climatic conditions. Both the reviewed literature and model simulations suggest that continental climates are likely to experience warming and increased active layer thickness, while maritime climates may experience a slight cooling effect. This implies that dry regions with warm summers could see accelerated permafrost degradation and increased permafrost carbon feedback with more frequent heavy rainfall events in the future.

Response of Freezing/Thawing Indexes to the Wetting Trend under Warming Climate Conditions over the Qinghai -Tibetan Plateau during 1961-2010: A Numerical Simulation

Xuewei Fang et al.

Summary: Since the 1990s, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau has experienced significant warming and increased precipitation, which have affected the thermal and hydrological properties of frozen ground. This study used the Community Land Surface Model to investigate the response of both permafrost and seasonally frozen ground to historical wetting. The results show that wetting before the 1990s cooled the permafrost in arid and semiarid zones, while precipitation after the 1990s had a contrasting effect on permafrost and seasonally frozen ground.

Dynamics of Freezing/Thawing Indices and Frozen Ground from 1961 to 2010 on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Xuewei Fang et al.

Summary: This study compared the spatial and temporal variations of freezing/thawing indices on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) using numerical outputs from the Community Land Surface Model version 4.5. The results showed a decrease in permafrost area and a corresponding decrease in freezing indices, while thawing indices increased. The changes in thermal regimes in frozen ground were influenced by both air warming and increased precipitation, with the latter becoming the dominant factor in the 2000s.

Spatial variability and influential factors of active layer thickness and permafrost temperature change on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2012 to 2018

Yanhui You et al.

Summary: Based on borehole-temperature data, this study analyzed the temporal and spatial characteristics of active layer thickness and permafrost temperature in different regions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results showed distinct variations in active layer thickness and permafrost temperature in these regions. Snow cover duration had a significant impact on the northern permafrost regions, while freezing index was the dominant factor in the southern regions.

Does Model Calibration Reduce Uncertainty in Climate Projections?

Simon F. B. Tett et al.

Summary: There is large uncertainty in climate projections, which could arise from unresolved processes, parameter values, or model calibration targets. However, by systematically calibrating the models, the uncertainties in equilibrium climate sensitivity and transient climate response can be reduced. The uncertainties in surface temperature, precipitation, and annual extremes are relatively small, and residual uncertainty mainly comes from unconstrained sea ice feedbacks. The choice of parameterization schemes for unresolved processes is a significant contributor to the uncertainty in climate projections.

Summary: The study uses statistical and machine learning modeling approaches to accurately simulate the changes in temperature and active layer thickness of permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The results indicate that the current permafrost area on the plateau is substantial, but it is projected to significantly decrease under various climate change scenarios in the future.

Future Climate Change Hotspots Under Different 21st Century Warming Scenarios

Xuewei Fan et al.

Summary: Identifying climate change hotspot regions is crucial to effective planning for mitigation and adaptation activities. Using CMIP6 climate model ensemble, the study found consistent hotspots in the Amazon, central and western Africa, Indonesia, and the Tibetan Plateau at different warming levels. Results also showed that extreme hot and dry occurrences shape the pattern of climate change hotspots at low-to-medium warming levels, while precipitation and temperature means dominate at high warming levels under high emission scenarios.

Comparison of CMIP5 and CMIP6 Multi-Model Ensemble for Precipitation Downscaling Results and Observational Data: The Case of Hanjiang River Basin

Dong Wang et al.

Summary: The study evaluated and compared the accuracy of downscaled precipitation simulations of CMIP5-MME and CMIP6-MME for the Hanjiang River Basin in China. The results showed that the downscaled precipitation captured spatial and temporal patterns well, but there were slight overestimations and underestimations in certain regions. The downscaled CMIP6-MME performed better than CMIP5-MME in simulating precipitation, especially in reducing biases, except for summer seasons.
