A possible field variant of the method of temperature wave reduction for determining the earth heat flow
Abstract
It is proposed that the temperature wave reduction method be used in field measurements of earth heat flow at depths of 5-10 m on the basis of observations lasting several months. Data reduction comprises the following steps: determination of the specific heat of rock specimens removed from the area of measurement, determination of extremal temperatures, calculation of thermal conductivity, determination of surface temperature variations (measured at a depth of 0.2 m), determination of the effect of below-ground temperatures, calculation of differences between measured and calculated below-ground temperatures, and determination of the geothermal gradient and heat flux. The investigations have relevance to geothermal investigations.
