SoilTemperature


INTERFACE:

   subroutine SoilTemperature (c, xmf, fact)
DESCRIPTION:

   Snow and soil temperatures including phase change
   o The volumetric heat capacity is calculated as a linear combination 
     in terms of the volumetric fraction of the constituent phases. 
   o The thermal conductivity of soil is computed from 
     the algorithm of Johansen (as reported by Farouki 1981), and the 
     conductivity of snow is from the formulation used in
     SNTHERM (Jordan 1991).
   o Boundary conditions:  
     F = Rnet - Hg - LEg (top),  F= 0 (base of the soil column).
   o Soil / snow temperature is predicted from heat conduction 
     in 10 soil layers and up to 5 snow layers. 
     The thermal conductivities at the interfaces between two 
     neighboring layers (j, j+1) are derived from an assumption that 
     the flux across the interface is equal to that from the node j 
     to the interface and the flux from the interface to the node j+1. 
     The equation is solved using the Crank-Nicholson method and 
     results in a tridiagonal system equation.

REVISION HISTORY:
   15 September 1999: Yongjiu Dai; Initial code
   15 December 1999:  Paul Houser and Jon Radakovich; F90 Revision 
   12/19/01, Peter Thornton
   Changed references for tg to t_grnd, for consistency with the 
   rest of the code (tg eliminated as redundant)
   2/14/02, Peter Thornton: Migrated to new data structures. Added pft loop
   in calculation of net ground heat flux.

   local pointers to original implicit in arguments
     real(r8), pointer :: forc_lwrad      !downward infrared (longwave) radiation (W/m**2)
     integer , pointer :: snl             !number of snow layers
