摘要: Preferential suprapermafrost groundwater flow was observed in deepened channels lying between raised frost mounds. Here, saturated hydraulic conductivity, k, ranged from 90 to 1000 m/day but only 0·1–1·0 the mound centres. A high proportion of fines occurs centre due particle sorting, while contain gravels. Three approaches areal weighting k and flow, Qs, across a wetland–upland boundary were explored. When percentage area covered by channels, mounds or gravel considered, estimates water on daily seasonal basis fell 30 50 per cent. This study is relevance northern scientists who require reliable patterned ground landscapes. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
