The thermal condition of the active layer
ABSTRACT: Ground temperature variations have been analysed to the depth of 160 cm, with respect to meteorological elements and short−wave radiation balance. The database of the ground temperature covers a thirteen month−long period (May 1992 – June 1993), which in− cluded both the seasons of complet...
