In situ apparent thermal conductivity measurement at depth in the unsaturated zone.

Apparent thermal conductivity and diffusivity in the unsaturated zone were measured in situ using a heated resistance wire in backfilled, vertical holes and observation wells. Values of apparent thermal conductivity ranged from 0.00171 to 0.0061 cal/cm/sec/°C. The variation observed was due primaril...
