Ground thermal regimes and implications for permafrost distribution on Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Tropical mountain permafrost has a unique thermal regime due to ground surface exposure to strong solar radiation. The intensity of the surface offset resulting from snow cover also strongly affects the absence or presence of permafrost. Latent heat transfer and reflected solar radiation (higher alb...
