Permafrost is found in about a quarter of the land area in the northern hemisphere. Unlike snow and ice cannot permafrost be "observed" with remote sensing techniques. However satellites collect data regarding permafrost from sensors in field, and permafrost can be modelled numerically using above-ground data sets of temperature and snow depth. We aim in SatPerm to see if such data sets can be used for modelling of permafrost.
