Program to correct anomalous subsurface temperature gradients resulting from surface temperature variations

Abstract

A FORTRAN program is described that calculates the temperature and temperature gradient at specific depths resulting from surface temperature variations in a one-dimensional earth with constant thermal layer properties using a matrix propagator technique. The results can be added to correct anomalous observed subsurface temperature gradients that have been affected by surface temperature variations.
