Method of Assessing the Influence of Snow and Vegetation Cover on the Thermal Regime of Soils Using the Example of the Msu Weather Station
摘要
The chapter describes the methodology for assessing the influence of snow and vegetation cover on the thermal regime of soils. These works were carried out at the MSU meteorological station. There thermometric boreholes were drilled: one on the site with vegetation and the other on the site without vegetation and snow cover. The thermometric measurements obtained were used to construct thermoisopets, which allow analyzing the effect of cover on heat fluxes in the ground and are essential for understanding the freezing and thawing processes. The results of the research can be useful for engineering decisions in the design of foundations under conditions of climate change. The research is carried out within the framework of state budgetary themes at the Geography Department of MSU.
