Natural subsurface temperature profile along the 
True Vertical Direction:

bodyT(z)
, where

bodyz
 is True Vertical Depth Sub-Sea (TVDss).


It is essentially a true vertical component of local Geothermal Temperature Field 

LaTeX Math Inline
bodyT(x, \, y, \, z)
.

Many subsurface studies are focused on rocks below a specific surface area where lateral (

body--uriencoded--\%7B x, \, y \%7D
) variation of Geothermal Temperature Field maybe insignificant comparing to true vertical (
LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--\%7B z\%7D
) variation.

This allows using Geothermal Temperature Profile

 instead of Geothermal Temperature Field
