The investigation and modelling of permafrost
distribution, particularly in areas of discontinuous permafrost,
is challenging due to spatial heterogeneity, remoteness
of measurement sites and data scarcity. We have designed
a strategy for standardizing different local data sets
containing evidence of the presence or absence of permafrost
into an inventory for the entire European Alps. With this
brief communication, we present the structure and contents
of this inventory. This collection of permafrost evidence not
only highlights existing data and allows new analyses based
on larger data sets, but also provides complementary information
for an improved interpretation of monitoring results.
