Method and provenance
- Production method
- Processes NASA POWER/MERRA-2 series at five points from 1 January 1981 through 31 August 2026. Computes anomalies against 1991–2020, temperature trends, and positive degree days; it does not use ERA5 or ERA5-Land.
- Provenance
- Wenzhuo Wang, Hong Mi, and Ka Lin; original Zenodo deposit published 17 September 2026. README, LICENSE, raw series, derived tables, and Python code were examined as text.
- Validation
- Author Deposited Analysis Not Independently Validated
- Uncertainty
- No in-situ station cross-validation or separate attribution of anthropogenic forcing versus circulation was established. The full JJA metric includes days after 26 August; event-truncated PDD and full-season metrics must remain distinct.
- Limitations
- Five grid-point series provide regional context; they are not local bedrock temperatures or proof of permafrost failure. Code: MIT; derived data: CC BY 4.0; upstream raw data: NASA terms. No complete FAIR assessment was performed.
