The original thickness data of the active layer of the three pole permafrost are generated by GCM model simulation, and the original data are from http://www.cryosphere.csdb.cn/portal/metadata/5abef388-3f3f-4802-b3de-f4d233cb333b 。 This data set contains the prediction of future scenarios under different representative concentration paths (RCPs) in the next 2046-2065 years, including rcp2.6 scenario, rcp4.5 scenario and rcp8.5 scenario. The content of the original data is the thickness of the active layer in the permafrost area of the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The data format is netcdf4, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 ° and a temporal resolution of years. Through data format conversion, spatial interpolation and other post-processing operations, the active layer thickness in permafrost area in netcdf4 format is generated, with a spatial resolution of 0.1 °, a time resolution of years, a time range of 2046-2065, and the unit is cm.
