Regulation of surface temperature in mammals
Surface temperatures of 56 mammal species were measured using infrared-thermography (IRT) at ambient temperatures from $-$5 to 35 C. Not all species were available at all temperatures. All of the animals' responses were evaluated in terms of effect on heat exchange and thermoregulatory ability. The …

Near-surface temperature conditions in high mountain environments
… Dabei konnte eine übergeordnete Steuerung der Temperaturen durch mikroskalige Reliefbedingungen belegt werden. Da weder das Messnetz noch herkömmliche Klimamodelle diese kleinskalige Differenzierung repräsentieren können, sind die gängigen Ansätze der Regionalisierung von Klimadaten und darauf …

The Changing Annual Cycle of Sea Surface Temperature
… and the increasing extreme events of sea surface temperature. In contrast, the continuous evolution of the reference frame, the annual cycle of SST used to quantify the aforementioned variability and changes, has long been overlooked, resulting in difficulties in under- standing the …

Estimation of Unsteady Nonuniform Heating Rates from Surface Temperature Measurements
… impinge on a test cylinder, where the temperature due to the heat flux is measured. These measurements are used to estimate the heat flux on the surface as a result of the shock interactions. The nature of the incident flux usually involves dynamic transients and severe nonuniformities. …

Prediction of the spring transition and related sea-surface temperature anomalies
… and Garwood (1978) for generation of upper ocean temperature anomalies during the spring transition period was tested. If the transition between the winter and summer regimes occurred earlier (later) than normal, the seasonal heating was expected to have been accumulated in a shallow (deep) layer, …

Relating U.S. Cirrus Cloudiness to Surface Temperature and Global Teleconnection Indices
… taken cirrus cloud observations, average near-surface temperature, and teleconnection indices to examine cirrus cloudiness over the conterminous United States from 1971-1991.</p> <p> Monthly trends in cirrus cloudiness, relationships with near-surface temperature and their relationships with …

Propellant Surface Temperature and Plume Characteristics of Micro-Pulsed Plasma Thrusters
… can also contaminate critical spacecraft surfaces. In this work, the microPPT is investigated to experimentally characterize both the ablation physics and plume characteristics. The defining parameter for propellant ablation is the surface temperature of the solid Teflon(TM) propellant. …

Variability of zooplankton and sea surface temperature in the Southern Ocean
… affects the variability of zooplankton and sea surface temperature, both of which are involved in air-sea exchanges of carbon dioxide. First, I examine the formation of spatial patterns in the distribution of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) resulting from social behavior. Turbulence of the …

Relationships between sea surface temperature and nutrients in satellite detected oceanic fronts
… California coast off Point Sur reveal recurrent surface features which appear to be "thermal discontinuities" associated with aperiodic upwelling events. Some of these have associated "chemical fronts" and increased biological activity. Satellite IR imagery was used to locate "discontinuities" …

Optimizing Green Space–Type Placement to Maximize Overall Land Surface Temperature Reduction
… analysis of the direct and indirect land surface temperature benefits of neighboring green spaces but did not factor in varying green space types or budget constraints. Optimal green space–type placement can reduce land surface temperature, increase surface permeability, and increase …

The Effect of Tree Shade and Snowpack Cover on Pavement Surface Temperature
The effects of tree shade on the surface and internal temperature of pavement structures can be significant throughout the year. While much work has been done in researching the influence of tree cover on localized urban heating during hot summer months, less effort has been put towards the …

Coral skeleton density banding: biotic response to changes in sea surface temperature
… the coral holobiont response to changes in sea surface temperature (SST). To test this hypothesis, data were collected from coral skeleton-tissue biopsies (2.5 cm in diameter) extracted from four species of Montastraea growing on the fringing reef tract of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. Annual …
