SONDE pour Profils de Temperature des Sols du CRDO (CRDO Probe for Measuring Soil Temperature Profiles).

Abstract

The development of a new soil temperature probe for use in geotechnical studies is described. The field evaluation of prototype probes in the summers of 1975, 1976 and 1977 is also outlined. It has been found that the new lightweight probe is much more durable than previous models. It is also shown that the probe rapidly reaches equilibrium with ambient field temperature which facilitates the acquisition of temperature data in the active soil layer. (Author)
