EVAPORATION AND CONDENSATION OF MOISTURE IN A MOLE-PLOWED SOIL

Consideration is given to temperature waves, traveling in a soil from its surface, with account for phase transitions of moisture and for the influence exerted by mole passages made by a special technology. It is pointed out that evaporation and condensation, rather than a fl ux of soil air, introduce noticeable corrections into the distribution of the soil layer temperature. An analysis of the problem and evaluating solutions are given and a technique of calculation of the moisture condensed in mole passages and in the rooty layer of soil is suggested. Weather data for Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk are used. The results are applicable to the climatic conditions of the Prikaspiiskaya (NearCaspian) semidesert.
