Distribution of regions with surface air temperatures that favor the maintenance of permafrost in Japan under the current climate conditions; 1) Daisetsu Mountains, 2) Hidaka Mountains, 3) Northern Japan Alps, 4) Mt. Fuji, 5) Mt. Shiretokodake, 6) Mt. Sharidake, 7) Southern Japan Alps, 8) Mt. Akandake, and 9) Mt. Yotei. The distribution of the environmentally conditioned permafrost region is based on probabilities estimated by nine bias-corrected climate scenarios. Red points indicate sites where permafrost has been observed.
