   The figures I have seen are -20 C at 2 meters.   
      
   I have found it almost imposible to find good figures.   
   The best estimate I can come up with is the temperature rises 1 degree every   
   200 to 400 meters or 273k occurs between 4 and 8 kilometers below the   
   surface of  the moon.
