These parameters are also important forcing terms for physically based land surface models (LSMs). However, the quantitative influences of inaccuracies in DSR and Ta products on simulated frozen ground temperatures remain unclear. In this study, three DSR products (CMFD-SR, Tang-SR, and GLDAS-SR) and two Ta products (CMFD-Ta and GLDAS-Ta) were used to force an LSM model in an alpine watershed in Northwest China, to investigate the sensitivity of simulated ground temperatures to different DSR and Ta products. Compared to a control model (CTRL) forced by in situ observed DSR, ground temperatures simulated by the experimental model forced by GLDAS-SR are obviously decreased because GLDAS-SR is much lower than in situ observations. Instead, simulation results in models forced by CMFD-SR and Tang-SR are much closer to those of CTRL. Ta products led to significant errors in simulated ground temperatures. In conclusion, both CMFD-SR and Tang-SR could be used as good alternatives to in situ observed DSR for forcing a model, with acceptable errors in simulation results. However, more care need to be paid for models forced by Ta products instead of Ta observations, and conclusions should be carefully drawn.}, keywords = {solar radiation; frozen ground; Land surface model; ground temperature; meteorological forcing}, year = {2023}, pages = {513-529} } @article{MTMT:34293684, title = {Climate change records in coversand deposits from the eastern margin of the Tarnow Plateau (southeast Poland)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34293684}, author = {Sokolowski, Tadeusz and Woronko, Barbara and Chmielowska-Michalak, Dorota}, doi = {10.1002/ppp.2199}, journal-iso = {PERMAFROST PERIGLAC}, journal = {PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES}, volume = {34}, unique-id = {34293684}, issn = {1045-6740}, abstract = {Coversands (CSs) are one of the most distinctive sediments within the European Sand Belt. Their extraordinary thickness, exceeding 6 m, was recorded at the Gora Motyczna site located at the edge of the Wisloka River valley in the Tarnow Plateau (southeast Poland). The sedimentary record of the studied CSs sets their arrangement into one of two sedimentary cycles. Each consists of sandy (A1 and A2) and silty (B1 and B2) lithofacies, forming an A1 double right arrow B1 double right arrow A2 double right arrow B2 sequence that is considered to be a record of climate change during the Weichselian Late Pleniglacial. Sandy lithofacies accumulation occurred under dry and snow-free climatic conditions, whereas silty lithofacies accumulation marks an increase in humidity as a result of the presence of snow-cover. Sediment optical dating indicated that the studied CSs were deposited in a period from similar to 18-17 to similar to 16-15 ka. The period of accumulation was therefore short, which is confirmed by the analysis of quartz-grain shape and surface type. Due to this brevity of aeolian processes during this period, the only change expressed is in grain-surface microrelief; thus, the quartz grains had already inherited their shape and degree of rounding from their source environments and earlier processes. The source sediments could have been artefacts of Miocene and Quaternary deflationary sediments associated with blowouts.}, keywords = {climate change; periglacial environment; Weichselian; aeolian coversand; rounding and frosting of quartz sand grans}, year = {2023}, pages = {428-447}, orcid-numbers = {Woronko, Barbara/0000-0002-2763-5650} } @article{MTMT:33777210, title = {Characterization and mapping of MIS‐2 thermal contraction crack polygons in Western Transdanubia, Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33777210}, author = {Farkas, Beáta and Sipos, György and Bartyik, Tamás and Józsa, Edina and Czigány, Szabolcs and Balogh, Richárd and Varga, Gábor and Kovács, János and Fábián, Szabolcs Ákos}, doi = {10.1002/ppp.2190}, journal-iso = {PERMAFROST PERIGLAC}, journal = {PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES}, volume = {34}, unique-id = {33777210}, issn = {1045-6740}, year = {2023}, pages = {417-427}, orcid-numbers = {Farkas, Beáta/0000-0002-7026-8980; Sipos, György/0000-0001-6224-2361; Czigány, Szabolcs/0000-0002-9158-3162; Kovács, János/0000-0001-7742-5515; Fábián, Szabolcs Ákos/0000-0001-9127-2113} } @article{MTMT:33956951, title = {Yedoma sediments with gravel and rock debris inclusions: Characteristics and origin}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33956951}, author = {Vasil'chuk, Yurij K.}, doi = {10.1002/ppp.2185}, journal-iso = {PERMAFROST PERIGLAC}, journal = {PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES}, volume = {34}, unique-id = {33956951}, issn = {1045-6740}, abstract = {Yedoma ice complex sediments with large syngenetic ice wedges (IW) are usually observed in outcrops in river valleys on permafrost plains and on sea coasts and lake shores in the north of Siberia, Alaska, and Canada.

In this study, we analyze the vertical distribution of concentrations, stocks, and apparent accumulation rates of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) in a wetland underlain by ice-rich permafrost in the Headwater Area of the Yellow River (HAYR) on the northeastern QTP in the context of Holocene environmental change. SOC and TN stocks at depths of 0-216 cm were 80.0 kg C m(-2) and 6.7 kg N m(-2), respectively. During the past 7.3 kyr, the general regional climate trend in the HAYR was cooling and drying, as indicated by the decline in chemical weathering in the soil profile. Overall, SOC and TN concentrations increased during this period. Meanwhile, an intense period of SOC and TN accumulation occurred at 1,110-720 yr BP, in contrast to much lower apparent accumulation rates of SOC and TN for the other periods during the past 7.3 kyr. This suggests that the accumulation of SOC and TN in permafrost-affected wetlands was also affected by local environmental factors, such as soil material deposition rate, in addition to climatic controls as exerted mainly by temperature and precipitation. This study may help integrate relevant studies on plateau wetlands into global models and estimates to better simulate and predict interactions between the carbon cycle and climate changes on a global scale.}, keywords = {Mid- to late Holocene; headwater area of the Yellow River; plateau wetland; SOC and TN stocks and accumulation rates; soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN); syngenetic permafrost}, year = {2022}, pages = {286-297} } @article{MTMT:32944411, title = {Strength and the cracking behavior of frozen sandstone containing ice-filled flaws under uniaxial compression}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32944411}, author = {Jia, Hai-liang and Han, Li and Zhao, Tao and Sun, Qiang and Tan, Xian-jun}, doi = {10.1002/ppp.2142}, journal-iso = {PERMAFROST PERIGLAC}, journal = {PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES}, volume = {33}, unique-id = {32944411}, issn = {1045-6740}, abstract = {Understanding the mechanical properties of frozen flawed rock masses is fundamental to conducting safe rock engineering in frozen rock strata. However, there has been scarce research in this area, especially on key issues such as the strength and deformability of frozen flawed rock masses and failure processes under load. In this paper, frozen flawed sandstone was subjected to uniaxial compression and the cracking process was observed. The influences of flaw inclination angle and freezing temperature on the strength and cracking behavior of frozen flawed sandstone under load were determined. The results show that: (a) the strength of frozen flawed sandstone increases with increases in flaw inclination and decreases in temperature; (b) the flaw inclination has a dramatic influence on both the crack coalescence behavior and the final failure form of frozen flawed samples under compression; and (c) the significant influence of freezing temperature on the cracking behavior of frozen flawed sandstone is caused by the interaction between flaw ice and its surrounding rock. Strengthening of flawed sandstone by freezing results because (i) pore ice provides support and cohesion at the pore scale, while (ii) at the crack scale ice can support the flaw and resist its deformation during compression, and cementation of the ice-rock interface provides normal and tangential cracking resistance.}, keywords = {Crack initiation; Uniaxial compression; crack coalescence; frozen flawed sandstone; ice-filled flaws; ice-rock interface}, year = {2022}, pages = {160-175} } @article{MTMT:32633606, title = {Distribution and characteristics of Pleistocene ground thermal contraction polygons in Europe from satellite images}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32633606}, author = {Bertran, P}, doi = {10.1002/ppp.2137}, journal-iso = {PERMAFROST PERIGLAC}, journal = {PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES}, volume = {33}, unique-id = {32633606}, issn = {1045-6740}, year = {2022}, pages = {9-113}, orcid-numbers = {Bertran, P/0000-0003-3334-9869} } @article{MTMT:32257805, title = {Holocene ice wedges of the Kolyma Lowland and January paleotemperature reconstructions based on oxygen isotope records}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32257805}, author = {Vasil'chuk, Yurij K. and Budantseva, Nadine A.}, doi = {10.1002/ppp.2128}, journal-iso = {PERMAFROST PERIGLAC}, journal = {PERMAFROST AND PERIGLACIAL PROCESSES}, volume = {2021}, unique-id = {32257805}, issn = {1045-6740}, year = {2021}, orcid-numbers = {Vasil'chuk, Yurij K./0000-0001-5847-5568; Budantseva, Nadine A./0000-0003-4292-5709} }
