Purpose
The goal of this page is to summarize key aspects, both theoretical and practical, of the computation of subsurface temperatures in the generic PCM.
Theoretical Considerations
The computation of the heat conduction in the soil was based on the 1D layer soil model originally described by \cite{Hourdin1993}. Since that, E. Millour modified this scheme to include the possibility of varying the thermal properties to include the effect of subsurface water ice.
