CryoGridLite: Model code for pan-Arctic simulations at 1° resolution from 1700 to 2020

CryoGridLite is a lightweight version of the more complex and process-rich CryoGrid Community model (Westermann et al. 2022). This version of the model has been used for pan-Arctic simulations of permafrost thermal dynamics at 1°-by-1° spatial resolution spanning the period from 1700 to 2020. Two scientific articles are currently under review which building upon these simulations:

Langer, M. et al. (2022). The evolution of Arctic permafrost over the last three centuries.

Nitzbon, J. et al. (2022). Quantifying the Permafrost Heat Sink in Earth's Climate System.

This archive contains the following:

./src The source code of the model.
./input Example input files for a single grid cell (Lon 126°E, Lat. 72°N)
./run_CryoGridLite.jl A wrapper script to execute the model.
./README.md A readme file containing instructions how to run the model.
