Using recent observations of mean annual ground temperature (MAGT) at or near (the closest to) the depth of zero annual amplitude, active layer thickness (ALT) and soil organic carbon (SOC) at different depth measured during the baseline period (2006-2015) over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), we estimated the permafrost distribution over TP, as well as the ALT and SOC distribution across the TP permafrost region during the same period using data-driven approaches.
