| Abstract | The main field experiments and modeling results of heat and moisture transfer processes of the Arctic and Antarctic are reviewed, following the historical development. Agreement exists that heat is mainly transferred via conduction in Arctic and Antarctic soils, but that latent heat and vapor migration are important factors for the thermal dynamic. Factors determining amount and type of heat transfer are soil water content and temperature gradient between atmosphere and soil. |
