Short summary
This study improves how we track changes in permafrost by testing new ways to use ground temperature data. A set of five simple but powerful metrics was found to give a clearer picture of thawing than current methods. The results also show that the depth where sensors are placed can strongly affect measured warming rates. These findings help make permafrost monitoring more accurate and support better planning for a changing climate.
