Correction to “Pāhoehoe Flow Cooling, Discharge and Coverage Rates from Thermal Image Chronometry”

Abstract

[2] Despite the thermal resistance approach used here being underpinned by an assumption of steady state thermal conditions, the model provides a good match to the field measurements and to previous work. For example, after 60 s equation (7) solves with a surface temperature of 558 °C, consistent with the measured surface temperature after 60 s of 563 °C. This is also consistent with Tsurf predicted by the empirical relationship of Hon et al. [1994] for Hawaiian pahoehoe, i.e., Tsurf = −140 log(t) + 303, which gives 552 °C after 60 s (Table 1). As can be seen from Table 1, the equation (2) model consistently over-estimates the expected surface temperature.
