Abstract:
Soil heat flux have shown prospects for researchers not only in the agricultural and infrastructure standpoint but also in the health sector. The temperature curve model was applied to determine the soil heat flux from a given data of soil temperature. Beyond the purpose of the research, it was discovered that soil heat flux has some other unknown parameters to aid its measurement.
Keywords:soil heat temperature, soil heating frequencies, resonating phase, temperature deviation curve
