Term unfrozen ground en
sol non gelé fr
Comment Unfrozen ground can be cryotic (T ? 0°C) if freezing-point depression prevents freezing of the pore water (see Figures 2 and 3), or if no water is available to freeze (e.g., in dry permafrost). It should not be called thawed ground, unless it is known that the ground has previously contained ice. en
