Abstract

By using the model for subsea sediments (SSs) (Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, IAP RAS) and the general circulation model in the Arctic Ocean–North Atlantic (GCM AO-NA) (Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, ICMMG SB RAS), the response of the parameters of the permafrost layer and the methane hydrate stability zone (MHSZ) to external impacts in dependence on the parameters of the problem is considered: the degree of the geothermal heat flux intensity G at the lower (bottom) boundary of the computation domain of the permafrost layer of subsea sediments and the depth Z of this boundary.
