Standard deviation of the average mean annual ground temperature in degrees Celsius. === Original Data Source === Ground Temperature Map, 2000-2016, Northern Hemisphere Permafrost Original data information: The product provides modeled mean annual ground temperatures (MAGT) at the top of the permafrost for the Northern Hemisphere at 1 km spatial resolution. Permafrost probability (fraction values from 0 to 1) is assigned to each grid cell with MAGT < 0°C. Based on its permafrost probability each grid cell is classified as continuous, discontinuous and sporadic permafrost. The processing extent covers exposed land areas of the Northern Hemisphere down to 25° latitude. The mean MAGT was validated with GTN-P and TSP borehole ground temperature data and yielded a RMS of 2.0 °C. According to the results, permafrost (MAGT < 0 °C) covers 15 % of exposed land of the Northern Hemisphere. The map was produced within the project ESA Data User Element GlobPermafrost. QGreenland displays data at 10 km resolution. Dataset update: 2019-04-01.
