Maps of annual range in soil temperature at 10, 30, and 120 cm depths were constructed, using the data of 780 stations throughout the world. Temperature‐range profile charts for 18 stations are presented and briefly discussed. The depth of invariable temperature is about ten meters in the tropics, and 15–20 m in middle and high latitudes.
