Introduction
GIPL(Geophysical Institute Permafrost Laboratory) is an implicit finite difference one-dimensional heat flow numerical model. The model was developed by V.Romanovsky and G. Tipenko at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The model uses coarse vertical resolution grid which preserves the latent-heat effects in the phase transition zone, even under conditions of rapid or abrupt changes in the
temperature fields.
The air temperature is a driving force for the GIPL upper boundary condition and constant geothermal heat flux at the lower boundary (typically from 500 to 1000 m). The other inputs are precipitation, prescribed water content and thermal properties of the multilayered soil column.
As an output the model produces temperature distributions at different depths, active layer thickness and calculates time of freeze up.
