Description:An analytic solution of the heat equation is the basis for a scheme to compute the soil heat flux needed for a surface energy balance calculation. An initial soil temperature profile and constant thermal properties are assumed. No vertical computational levels within the soil are used or needed. The scheme is inherently accurate, since it is derived from an analytical solution and is immune from the problems of spatial truncation error and numerical instability associated with finite-difference techniques.
