Soil Thermal Properties

These are MATLAB functions to predict the thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a soil from the water content, bulk density, etc. The models are discussed in the following paper:

Worldwide Distribution of Soil Dielectric and Thermal Properties, with J. M. H. Hendrickx, R. L. van Dam, J. Curtis, H. A. Lensen, and R. Harmon. To Appear in Detection and Remediation Technologies for Mines and Minelike Targets VIII, Proceedings of the SPIE, volume 5089.
