Kusuda-Achebach Correlation

Use Kusuda-Achebach correlation

Check this option if the Kusuda-Achebach correlation is to be used. If this option is not selected then data from the Ground shallow temperatures are used.

Kusuda-Achebach average surface temperature

The annual average surface temperature to be applied to the Kusuda-Achenbach farfield boundary temperature correlation (in °C or °F)

Kusuda-Achebach average amplitude of surface temperature

The annual mean surface temperature variation from average used in determining the farfield boundary condition (in °DeltaC or °DeltaF)

Kusuda-Achenbach phase shift of minimum surface temperature

The phase shift of minimum surface temperature, or the day of the year when the minimum surface temperature occurs (in days).
