The surface, or active, layer of permafrost thaws in the warm season and freezes in the winter, but the soil below the active layer remains continuously frozen.

However, the R2 values of functions below the active layer were relatively low, and the soil water-heat transfer in the area below the active layer was less affected by the environment.

The DALs were fabricated by forming an HECL below the active layer; the placement of the HECL was selected by considering the actual channel path formed between the source and drain.
