The cooling effect of coarse blocks revisited: a modeling study of a purely conductive mechanism
Coarse blocks are a widespread ground cover in cold mountain areas. They have been recognized to exert a cooling influence on subsurface temperatures in comparison with other types of surface material and are employed in man-made structures for ground cooling and permafrost protection. The contrast...
