Definition
Average layer soil temperature is the depth-averaged temperature
beneath the soil surface at a specified layer. These soil temperatures may
contribute to the low frequency variability of energy and water fluxes. They
are important measured quantities in analyzing of the ground heat flux, and
then the energy and water cycles.
