Improved simulation of the terrestrial hydrological cycle in permafrost regions by the Community Land Model

Plausible predictions of future climate require realistic representations of past and current climate. Simulations of the distribution of permafrost in the 21st century made with the Community Climate System Model (CCSM4) indicate that substantial decreases in permafrost extent can be expected, espe...
