Data from eleven petroleum exploration wells along a south‐north profile in the Sverdrup Basin of the Canadian Arctic Islands indicate large variations in temperature gradients(18 ± 2 to 39 ± 2 mK/m) and heat‐flow values [Formula: see text]. High values occur near the axis of the basin and values decrease systematically toward the southern and northern flanks of the basin. The basin axis in this area is the zone of maximum crustal attenuation and Lower Cretaceous dike and sill intrusion, but any thermal anomaly associated with these events will have dissipated by now. The present heat‐flow pattern is likely the result of thermal refraction or fluid flow in the basin.

ABSTRACTNanosecond-resolution x-ray diffraction has been used to measure the interface and lattice temperatures of silicon during rapid, pulsed-laser induced melting and regrowth in silicon. Measurements have been carried out on <100> and <111> oriented silicon using the (100) and (111) reflections to measure the thermal strain during 30 ns, 1.1 J/cm2 KrF laser pulses. The results indicate overheating to be low (< 2 K/m/s) for both orientations with undercooling rates of 5.6 K/m/s and 11.4 K/m/s for the <100> and <111> orientations, respectively. Observations of higher than expected temperature gradients below the liquidsolid interface have been discussed in terms of restricted heat flow under high gradients.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo mostrar a dedução física e matemática do método de Bowen na conversão de fluxo de calor latente em unidade de volume de água. A evapotranspiração é o processo natural de fluxo de água para atmosfera. Dentre as técnicas meteorológicas existentes, o método de Bowen consiste na razão entre os fluxos de calor latente (energia destinada para mudança de estado físico da água) e sensível (energia destinada para mudança de temperatura) emitidos por uma superfície durante o processo de evaporação e transpiração das plantas, em função dos gradientes da pressão de vapor e da temperatura observados sobre a superfície. Além disso, o método está fundamentado no princípio de conservação de energia, com fundamentos matemáticos relativamente simples e com modesto aparato instrumental.   Palavras-chaves: Fluxo de calor; micrometeorologia; perda de água; atmosfera.   Abstract This work aimed to show the physical and mathematical deduction of the Bowen method in the conversion of latent heat flow into a unit of water volume. Evapotranspiration is the natural process of flowing water into the atmosphere. Among the existing meteorological techniques, the Bowen method consists of the ratio between the latent heat flows (energy destined to change the physical state of the water) and sensitive (energy destined to change the temperature) emitted by a surface during the evaporation process and plant transpiration, depending on the vapor pressure and temperature gradients observed on the surface. In addition, the method is based on the principle of energy conservation, with relatively simple mathematical foundations and with modest instrumental apparatus.   Keywords: Heat flow; micrometeorology; loss of water; atmosphere.

Arctic and sub-Arctic snow is deposited on ground that can have significant microrelief due to tundra hummocks and tussocks. The microrelief, a substantial fraction of the total snow depth, causes basal layers of snow (usually depth hoar) to be discontinuous. In-situ measurements made at four locations in Alaska indicate lateral temperature gradients up to 60°C m−1exist at the snow/ground interface due to the microtopography. For all sites, the winter average range of temperature along a 1.5 m transect at the interface varied from 4°C to greater than 7°C. Heat-flux transducers placed at the tops and bases of tussocks indicated that vertical heat flow was consistently 1.4 to 2.1 times higher at the top than the base. Results of a conductive model based on tussock height are consistent with these measurements.
