Dear Krishna,The ASHRAE Handbook, in the Applications Volume, Chapter 31 - Geothermal Energy, lists thermal properties of different kinds of soils (density, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity). However, the data for mean surface temperature and amplitude of temperature variation must come from local measurements. The paper written by T. Kusuda and P.R. Achenbach (*) lists this information for many stations in the US. I will appreciate if anyone else in this mailing list knows of additional databases for other countries.
Best regards, Diego* T. Kusuda and P.R. Achenbach. Earth Temperature and Thermal Diffusivity at Selected Stations in the United States. ASHRAE Transactions, Volume 71, Part I, 1965.
