WITHIN-SLOPE VARIABILITY OF GROUND HEAT FLUX, SUBARCTIC YUKON
Abstract
This study examined local variability of heat flux within a north-facing hillslope in Wolf Creek basin, Yukon, during the thawed season of 1997. Ground heat flux was calculated by: (1) assessing vertical conduction and convection inputs (QGv) using near-surface temperature gradients and rainfall and (2) combining the sensible heat from ground temperature change with the latent heat associated with melting ground ice (QGs). Seasonally, the …
