Dear Colleagues,
The first version of the ESA CCI Permafrost dataset has been published as part of the ESA Climate Change Initiative collection at the Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA).
Data products include Ground Temperature, Active Layer Thickness and Permafrost Extent for the Northern Hemisphere (north of 30°) for the period 2003-2017. They are derived from a thermal model driven and constrained by satellite data. Gridded products are released in annual files.
Access to the data and documentation is provided at http://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/4065971a9c5a45e2b64d4dfcc2001e4d
Complete project documention (including validation) can be found on the project webpage: http://cci.esa.int/Permafrost#resources
