Based on the CMIP6 model data (see Table 1 for the model list), the distribution and thickness of frozen soil in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the circum Arctic region, as well as the terrestrial ecosystem carbon flux (total primary productivity GPP and ecosystem carbon source sink NEP) data in the frozen soil area under different climate change scenarios (including SSP126, SSP245 and SSP585) in the historical period (1990-2014) and the future (2046-2065) are estimated, with a spatial resolution of 1 ° × 1°。 Among them, the distribution of frozen soil is estimated under the future climate warming scenario by using the spatial constraint method (Chadburn et al., 2017), based on the probability of frozen soil occurrence under different temperature gradients at the current stage, and combined with the future temperature change simulated by the Earth system model. For the change of active layer thickness, the sensitivity of active layer thickness to temperature change estimated by remote sensing at this stage is used to constrain the change of active layer thickness simulated by the Earth System Model, so as to correct the error of the model in simulating the thickness of frozen soil active layer. The future permafrost carbon flux is the multi model ensemble average of the Earth system model simulation results. The simulation results show that the permafrost in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau will be significantly degraded under the future climate change scenario. With the future temperature rise, the continuous permafrost regions will be shown as carbon sources, but the temperature rise will promote the growth of vegetation, and the carbon sink capacity in the discontinuous permafrost regions will be enhanced. Similar to the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the permafrost around the Arctic will also be generally degraded in the future, and the future climate warming will promote the growth of vegetation in the Arctic, thus enhancing regional carbon sinks.

Freeze-thaw index is an important sensitive indicator of climate change, and is also widely used in the study of frozen soil changes. The research on the spatial distribution characteristics and time variation trend of freezing and thawing index in the global scope can provide a basis for the global frozen soil environment assessment, engineering construction and coping with climate change. This data set is based on the daily temperature observation data of more than 14000 stations covering the global land from 1973 to 2021 to calculate the air freezing index (FI) and air melting index (TI). The freezing/thawing index is the cumulative value of the daily average temperature below/above 0 ℃ during the freezing/thawing period. Considering that the index calculation should cover the whole freezing/thawing period and ensure the continuity of the calculation period, the northern hemisphere takes July 1 of that year to June 30 of the next year as a freezing period, and takes January 1 to December 30 of that year as a melting period, while the southern hemisphere has the opposite freezing/thawing period. The stations with missing survey years were not filled, which, on the one hand, avoided the uncertainty error caused by interpolation on the results, and on the other hand, retained the authenticity and accuracy of the data as much as possible. The study of global freeze-thaw index can effectively and comprehensively understand the near surface heat state, and can provide important support for exploring the changes of freeze-thaw state.

The seasonal thaw layer in permafrost regions, namely the active layer, is an important part of the study of seasonal frozen soil, and its changes are also affected by climate change. The change of active layer thickness has a profound impact on the energy transfer between earth and atmosphere, water cycle, carbon cycle, surface and underground hydrological processes, and vegetation growth. By collecting the long time series active layer thickness of 347 stations in the Northern Hemisphere and the temperature data output by dozens of CMIP5, the author constructs the E-factor of the permafrost region in the Northern Hemisphere through Stefan equation; Finally, the spatial distribution of the active layer thickness in the permafrost region of the Northern Hemisphere and the future prediction under different climate scenarios are obtained by coupling the melting index. It is found that the observed value is significantly correlated with the simulated value, the correlation coefficient R=0.84 (P<0.01), the average percentage error is 4.7%, the average deviation error is -11.7 cm, and the root mean square error is 64 cm. This data product can be used in the research of frozen soil and climate change, frozen soil carbon cycle, frozen soil ecological hydrological process, frozen soil engineering, etc.

The Qinghai-Tibet Engineering Corridor runs from Golmud to Lhasa. It passes through the core region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and is an important passage connecting the interior and Tibet. The active layer thickness (ALT) is not only an important index to study the thermal state of ground in permafrost region, but also a key factor to be considered in the construction of permafrost engineering. The core of GIPL1.0 is kudryavtesv method, which takes into account the thermophysical properties of snow cover, vegetation and different soil layers. However, Yin Guoan et al. found that compared with kudryavtesv method, the accuracy of TTOP model is higher, so they improved the model in combination with freezing / thawing index. Through verification of field monitoring data, it was found that the simulation error of ALT is less than 50cm. Therefore, the ALT in the Qinghai Tibet project corridor is simulated by using the improved GIPL1.0 model, and the future ALT under the ssp2-4.5 climate change scenario is predicted.

The Qinghai Tibet Engineering Corridor starts from Golmud in the north and ends at Lhasa in the south. It passes through the core area of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau and is an important channel connecting the mainland and Tibet. Permafrost temperature is not only an important index to study ground thermal state in permafrost regions, but also a key factor to be considered in permafrost engineering construction. The core of GIPL1.0 is the Kudryavtesv method, which considers the thermophysical properties of snow cover, vegetation and different soil layers. However, Yin found that compared with the Kudryavtesv method, the accuracy of TTOP model was higher. Therefore, the model was improved in combination with the freezing/thawing index. Through the verification of field monitoring data, it was found that the simulation error of permafrost temperature was less than 1 ℃. Therefore, the improved GIPL1.0 model is used to simulate the permafrost temperature of the Qinghai Tibet project corridor, and predict the future permafrost temperature under the SSP2-4.5 climate change scenario.

This data set contains the observation constrained permafrost distribution over the Tibetan Plateau under medium emission scenario (SSP245) at the end of the 21st century (2080-2099). The future permafrost distribution was estimated using the spatial-constrain approach following Chadburn et al. (2017). We developed the permafrost-MAAT relationship using the current permafrost distribution map at 1km spatial resolution (Zou et al., 2017) and mean annual air temprature (MAAT) derived from CMFD dataset. This spatial relationship was than driven by the projected temperture under SSP245 scenario from 10 Earth System Models from CMIP6 to etimate the future permafrost distribution by the end of the 21st century (2080-2099). This observation constrained permafrost distribution indicates future permafrost loss under equilibrium state, and has high relevance to international climate negotiations which are framed in term of climate stabilization.

According to the inducing factors of potential thermal melting disasters (mainly thermal melting landslides) in the pan Arctic, including temperature (freezing and Thawing Environment), rainfall, snow cover, soil type, topography and landform, and underground ice content, based on the basic data provided by the big data resource database of the earth, machine learning methods (logic regression, random forest, artificial neural network, support vector machine, etc.) are adopted, and the currently interpreted thermal melting landslides in the northern hemisphere are taken as training samples, Finally, the zonation map of thermal melt disaster susceptibility (occurrence probability) in the pan Arctic was obtained. According to the sensitivity of driving factors, it is found that climate factors (temperature and rainfall) have the largest contribution to the occurrence and distribution of thermal melt disasters, followed by slope factors, and ice content and radiation also have a high contribution.
