We have proved that water affects the oscillations of soil temperature, in both periods. We also proved using the difference in soil temperature at 5 and 20 cm for each day that there are less oscillations of soil temperature near the water than at the station DHMZ - Maksimir, which has no water surface.
We confirmed that in the autumn part of the year at the greatest soil depth (20 cm) the values of soil temperature at our station and at the DHMZ - Maksimir station will be higher than at smaller soil depths (5 cm and 10 cm). In the winter part of the value of soil temperature at the maximum soil depth of 20 cm lower than the value of soil temperature at 10 cm and 5 cm at both stations.
we confirmed because in the autumn period the surface temperature values are higher than the air temperature values while in the winter period the air temperature values are higher than the surface surface temperature values.
