Represented as a periodic topography

Reference no: EM13220320

A mountain range can be represented as a periodic topography with a wavelength of 100km and an amplitude of 1.2km. Heat flow in a valley is measured to be 46mW/m^2. If the atmospheric gradient is 6.5K/m, and k=2.5W/(mK), determine what the heat flow would have been without topography; that is, make a topographic correction.
