Almost 2-year data of the ground temperature at two discrete depths were compiled in a text file from each recorder at the 1-hr intervalinterval. Using the present data with air temperature and solar radiation data from neighborhood automatic weather station reported previously, we have shown timing and period of soil thawing graphically.
