Data on snow cover depletion and ground thawing at 2 sites at Zackenberg, in high arctic northeast Greenland, are presented from 1996 to 2002, and their meteorological control discussed.

This paper analyses data from those European Russian CALM sites, primarily with regard to the interannual and spatial variability of the active layer. The effects of organic-layer thickness on thaw depth are shown to change during the warm season.
