Abstract

A simplified thermal inertia model is proposed. In the model, the surface sensible and latent fluxes are introduced into the boundary condition of thermal conductivity equation in order to extend the area of using the thermal inertia method. Furthermore,a two-layer model is applied to regions with better covered vegetation, which extends the scope of the thermal inertia method. Compared with field measured inertia, the result shows that the improved thermal model is feasible.
