摘要

This paper presents a simple and operational thermal inertia model by using the phase angle information of the diurnal temperature change. The model which is developed in this paper is based on our first-order approximation operational thermal inertia model. We use a second-order approximation for the boundary conditions and a second-order approximation for the surface temperature series expression. The importance of this work is that from our model real thermal inertia (as distinct from apparent thermal inertia) can be computed directly. The model requires only one field measurement parameter for the calculation of real thermal inertia; this is the time of maximum temperature in the daytime and this parameter is easily obtained from a meteorological station. For the regions having vegetative cover, the thermal inertia value is the weighted thermal inertia values of vegetated cover and soil ground.
