Better curves on sunny days
Posted: 18 May 2011 05:57 AM
The featured chart is a timeseries from the Cantril RWIS site showing
air, pavement, and sub surface temperatures since last Thursday. The
impact of having sunny days on temperatures can clearly be seen with
the textbook delayed response as you go deeper into the ground. The
black dashed line is the temperature at 60 inches which was warming
this past weekend while everything else was cooling off. While the
impacts of sunshine near the surface have a daily signal, the deeper
you go the slower things vary. You can even notice the difference
between 8 and 16 inches.
