The Temperature of Tree Trunks--Calculated and Observed
Derby RW and Gates DM. 1966. The Temperature of Tree Trunks--Calculated and Observed. American Journal of Botany. 53(6 Part 1):580-587
A computer program based on Dusinberre's finite difference method was written to predict the diurnal temperature variations in a tree trunk. The program accounts for solar radiation, thermal radiation, re-radiation and forced convection. The trunk is heterogeneous and anisotropic. A comparison between observations and predictions is made.
