Continental heat storage: contributions from the ground, inland waters, and permafrost thawing

to related objects

Abstract ± × 21  J during the period 1960–2020, but the distribution of heat among the three components is not homogeneous. The sensible diffusion of heat through the ground accounts for ∼ 90  % of the continental heat storage, with inland water bodies and permafrost degradation (i.e. latent heat) accounting for ∼ 0.7  % and ∼ 9  % of the continental heat, respectively. Although the inland water bodies and permafrost soils store less heat than the solid ground, we argue that their associated climate phenomena justify their monitoring and inclusion in the Earth heat inventory.
