Ground thermometric studies at the MSU meteorological observatory site

Abstract

The paper presents the first results of the drilling and construction of a thermometric well in an open area without natural cover at the site of the MSU meteorological observatory taking core samples from the well. Information is given on the moisture, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity of the ground, as well as on the freezing temperature. The results of meteorological studies and studies of the factors that significantly influence snow cover are also presented.
