Temperature model


o Balance heat fluxes

  • Fluxes from the surface and ground
  • At the ground, T = 0

o Use Fourier's law of cooling

  • Heat fluxs are proportional to temperature gradients
  • Thermal conductivities depend on u

o Assume the temperature is in equilibrium at all times

dT = Tsurface / depth

o Not so good, but I'm avoiding partial differential equations
