Abstract
Summary Four years of air and soil temperatures from two sites, on the grassland Cooleman Plain and the surrounding forested ridge respectively, amplify evidence that the Plain frequently acts as a frost hollow. Excess of mean soil temperatures over mean air temperatures is probably partly due to the increasingly favourable net radiation balance at ground surface with elevation but aerodynamic factors such as cold air drainage from the forest to the grassland and differences in soil moisture content may be contributory. Mean groundwater temperature exceeds mean air temperature at mean catchment elevation, presumably due to the influence of soil temperatures and the unrepresentativeness of temperature at mean catchment elevation where this coincides with frequent temperature inversion and underground flow.
