The accuracy of miniature bead thermistors in the measurement of upper air temperature
… when used for the measurement of atmospheric temperature. Although the study was primarily concerned with the errors of the thermistors when used in Meteorological rocket soundings between about 70 km and 30 km altitude the results are also valid for other applications of these thermistors at …

Cooling rates of dummies under various degrees of air humidity, wind speed and air temperature
Henssge observed that even a slight but permanent air movement accelerates cooling of a naked body significantly. However in those experimental studies the rate of air movement was not quantified. Today Henssge’s Nomogram method of thermometric thanatochronometry (mathematic estimation of the …

Effects of Air Temperature and Lake Ice on Snowfall on the South Shore of Lake Superior
… on percent ice coverage and average monthly temperatures from 1972-2002. Ice coverage and average monthly temperature had a negative relationship with snowfall and rainfall.

Investigating the potential use of sparse-input reanalyses to homogenise long-term land surface air temperature records
… of the art approaches generally proceed using pairwise difference series between observations from a network of reference stations and the station under assessment. Such methods work well in well sampled regions such as Europe and North America, but are less successful in poorly sampled regions …

Measuring and modeling stream and air temperature relationships in a multiland use watershed of the central United States
… of the central U.S. to investigate stream water temperature (Tw) variability during water year's 2011, 2012, and 2013. Drought conditions were observed during water year 2012 when total annual precipitation was approximately 340 mm less than the 30 year record. Sudden increases of >1 ??C within a …

Effects of Variety, Harvest Moisture and Drying Air Temperature on the Wet Milling Characteristics of Yellow Dent Corn
… effects of variety, harvest moisture and drying air temperature on twelve quality factors related to the millability of corn. A split-split plot experimental design was used to evaluate the effects. Variety was found to significantly influence the measurement of each individual quality factors …

Near-Surface Air Temperature in Complex Terrain: Daily Predictions of Fine-Scale (30 m) Temperature in the Snake Range, Nevada, USA
Air temperature is arguably the most important component of the mountain climate, and scientists have been studying it for centuries. Recently, researchers have used arrays of inexpensive temperature sensors to observe and understand temperature across the landscape. Much of this work has focused …
