| Comment |
Because the phase change in frozen ground often occurs gradually over a range of temperatures, the apparent heat capacity (which is the sum of the specific heat capacity and the latent heat released) may vary significantly with temperature. Apparent heat capacity is commonly expressed in Joules per kg per degree K.
