chapter 4: temperature inside the landfill

esistance drop (R-drop) events were identified for monitoring locations. After the temperature
events were identified, the next step was to evaluate these temperature and resistance drop events
with respect to the hypothesis.
Seven different scenarios of injection events and subsequent responses at temperature and
resistance sensors were considered, as defined in Table 3-1. The basic concept in conceiving
these scenarios was whether an injection event is reflected in temperature and/or moisture
readings and what scenarios mean with respect to the hypothesis for the situation occurring.
Every scenario is related to the hypothesis. The scenario may support the hypothesis, refute it or
be neutral to it.
