temperature_in_ground
The temperature at any given depth (or in a layer) below the surface of the ground, excluding surficial snow and ice (but not permafrost or soil). For temperatures in surface lying snow and ice, the more specific standard names temperature_in_surface_snow and land_ice_temperature should be used. For temperatures measured or modelled specifically for the soil layer (the near-surface layer where plants sink their roots) the standard name soil_temperature should be used. In order to convert the units correctly, it is essential to know whether a temperature is on-scale or a difference. Therefore this standard strongly recommends that any variable whose units involve a temperature unit should also have a units_metadata attribute to make the distinction. It is strongly recommended to include the attribute units_metadata.

"solid_earth_subsurface_temperature" is the temperature at any depth (or in a layer) of the "solid" earth, excluding surficial snow and ice (but not permafrost). For surface snow and ice, the more specific standard names, "temperature_in_surface_snow" and
"land_ice_temperature", should be used rather than "solid_earth_subsurface_temperature".
