Description :
The aim is to present a coupling of topography and land cover parameters with ground surface temperatures, and to use this information to estimate ground surface temperature fields and spatial active layer variability at a regional scale. The measurements at 17 locations over a 2-year period, in the Lake Hövsgöl area, were used to analyse the influence of vegetation, solar radiation, surface wetness and snow cover on the ground thermal regime.
