Abstract
This paper develops a method for computing temperatures at a point in a soil from surface temperatures. The method is adaptable to the irregular fluctuations in temperature ordinarily found in nature as well as to ideal cases. The temperature at a point in the soil is expressed as a weighted function of antecedent temperatures at the surface. An analogy is made with the unit hydrograph, a familiar tool in hydrologic practice.Keywords
