Yes I think you are correct. When I was measuring them, the 5, 10 and 20cm
were known as soil, and the 30, 50 and 100cm were the earth temperatures.


Hi, Mike and Richard,

Further to Mike's reply, for Met O obs, soil temperatures (5, 10 and
20cm) are measured under bare soil and earth temperatures (30, 50 and
100cm) under grass.
