NORPERM, the Norwegian Permafrost Database, was developed at the Geological Survey of Nor- way during the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2009 as the main data legacy of the IPY research project Permafrost Observatory Project: A Contribution to the Thermal State of Permafrost in Norway and Svalbard (TSP NORWAY). Its structural and technical design is described in this paper along with the ground temper- ature data infrastructure in Norway and Svalbard, focussing on the TSP NORWAY permafrost observatory installations in the North Scandinavian Permafrost Observatory and Nordenski¨oldLand Permafrost Observa- tory, being the primary data providers of NORPERM.
