汇编了来自780多个个体测定和估计的687个热流数据。其中,634个数据被分析。目前单位面积热流的范围约为0 ~ 8µcal/cm2秒,世界上的算术平均值为1.62,基准的标准差为1.21。这些数据似乎没有形成任何简单的分布。由于采样质量差且有偏差,因此开发了加权平均技术。在三个假设的基础上,世界上每单位面积的平均热流在95%置信度下为1.5%±10%。这明显高于1954年建议的1.2。单位面积热流与经纬度没有简单的关系。球面谐波分析表明,所有谐波系数至少比平均值(约1.5)小一个数量级。简要讨论了热流和地质参数,以及热流研究的难点和热源。这项研究的目的是将所有可用的数据总结成一个全面的清单,并提供广泛的参考书目,并建立计算机程序进行数据分析,以供将来使用。
Six hundred and eighty-seven heat flow data from more than 780 individual determinations and estimations were compiled. Of these, 634 data were analyzed. The range of the present heat flow per unit area is approximately 0 to 8 µcal/cm2 sec. The world's arithmetic mean is 1.62, and the standard deviation of a datum is 1.21. The data do not seem to form any simple distribution. Since the sampling is poor and biased, a weighted mean technique is developed. On the basis of three assumptions, the world's average heat flow per unit area was found to be 1.5 ± 10 per cent at 95 per cent confidence. This is significantly higher than the value 1.2 suggested in 1954. There is no simple dependence of heat flow per unit area on latitude and longitude. A spherical harmonic analysis indicates that all the coefficients of the harmonics are at least an order of magnitude less than the mean of about 1.5. Heat flow and geological parameters, as well as difficulties in heat flow research and sources of heat, are briefly discussed. The purpose of this study is to summarize all the available data in a comprehensive list with extensive bibliographies and to set up computer programs for data analysis that can be used in the future.
