  Temperature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temperature is the physical property of a system that underlies the common notions of "hot" and "cold"; something that is hotter has the greater temperature.
Temperature is measured with thermometers that may be calibrated to a variety of temperature scales.
The temperature of an object is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in it.

 Freezing and refrigerated storage in fisheries - 17. Temperature measurement of fish
Temperature measurement is important at all stages of fish handling and processing to ensure that the fish and their environment are at a suitable temperature for maintaining the good quality of the fish.
The temperature of the fish is important during the period before freezing since both the eating quality and appearance of the final product depend on the rate of spoilage at this time.
The shape of a good temperature time curve is characterised by a plateau at a steady temperature somewhere between 0°C and -3°C followed by a steep plunge to near the temperature of the freezer.

Degree of injury is influenced by the duration of low temperatures as well as by the lowest temperature reached.
A freeze is defined as an occurrence of a temperature of 32 degrees F or lower in a thermometer shelter at about the 5-goot level.
Lowest temperatures during advection freezes generally occur on slopes or near the tops of ridges and hills.

The average daily temperature in most districts to the east of the Main Range is lower than that of the corresponding districts west of the Main Range.
The differences in the average values in the east and the west are due almost entirely to the low day temperatures experienced in the eastern districts during the northeast monsoon as a result of rain and greater cloud cover.
At Kuala Terengganu, for example, the day temperature rarely reaches 32°C during the northeast monsoon and often fails to reach 27°C. A number of occasions have been recorded on which the temperature did not rise above 24°C which is quite frequently the lowest temperature reached during the night in most districts.

As the temperature falls the index is drawn along with the alcohol as it retreats.
After the lowest temperature is reached and the temperature starts to rise again, the alcohol rises in the tube but flows past the index, leaving its position fixed.

It had proved that this final temperature would complete the distillation at the base of the charge and that it would be attained during the dry-quenching period and thus decrease the length of the superheated steam period.
Superheated steam of high initial temperature was used to cool the retort and its contents during the time designated as the "dry-quenching period", that is, the period in which steam was passed through the superheater and retort with the superheater fuel gas supply discontinued.
The accompanying temperature curves and operating data show that superheated steam first entered the retort at 244° C and was then raised to 650° C by the end of the first hour, whereupon its temperature was maintained substantially constant throughout the remainder of the "superheated steam period".

On the other hand, there must be a lower limit to temperature, which is reached when all of the atoms that constitute an object are brought to the state of lowest possible energy, called the ground state.
The zeroth law is the basis of the measurement of temperature, and of the existence of thermometers.
A lot of heat has to be supplied to it for increasing its temperature since a larger fraction energy would be stored in the form of potential energy instead of the kinetic energy of moving constituents, and vice versa for materials with loosely bound constituents.

From the perspective of the water vapor molecules, increasing their temperature will increase their average kinetic energy (by definition) and molecules with a high kinetic energy are more likely to break away from the surface of the liquid water into the air (warm water evaporates faster than cold water).
The heat index is a parameter which describes the apparent temperature of the air due to the air temperature and the amount of moisture in the air.

 NIST PHYSICISTS MEASURE COLDEST TEMPERATURE EVER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Their record stood as the coldest steady-state temperature for three-dimensional motion of atoms until the recent NIST work, although other researchers achieved lower temperatures transiently, or in one or two dimensions.
The new record low temperature at NIST was achieved with a technique borrowed from the Paris laboratory: an arrangement of four laser beams interfering to produce a regular array, or ``optical lattice'' of microscopic hills and valleys for the atoms.
After the atoms reached the lowest temperature possible in the optical lattice, the scientists abruptly turned off the lasers.

Since the dew point is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air, it is a good indicator of the likelihood of fog as well as the probability of thunderstorms during the summer.
Since the saturation vapor pressure of air decreases with temperature, cooling the air without adding or removing water vapor results in a higher relative humidity (that is, the air is closer to being saturated), although at low temperatures, the actual amount of water vapor in the air would remain low.
When the dew point is close to the air temperature, there is a lot of water vapor in the air (leading to “muggy” conditions), and this keeps the temperatures from dropping significantly overnight.

This new temperature is six times lower than the previous record, and marks the first time that a gas was cooled below 1 nanokelvin (1 billionth of a degree).
At such low temperatures, atoms cannot be kept in physical containers, because they would stick to the walls.
To reach the record-low temperatures, the researchers invented a novel way of confining atoms, which they call a "gravito-magnetic trap." The magnetic fields acted together with gravitational forces to keep the atoms trapped.

Freezing point is found by detecting the temperature at which a small quantity of the fluid (e.g.
A small stirrer or vibrator and a thermistor probe are immersed in the fluid and the cuvette is lowered into a freezing bath or Peltier cooling device.
The stirrer is arrested by the freezing of the solution and this triggers the measurement of temperature.

At saturated vapor pressure the SVC is capable of reaching a temperature as low as 0.75 K. At pressures close to the melting pressure the temperature can be brought down to 0.65 K. As the SVC operates only below the lambda line, it has to be precooled e.g.
In this arrangement we have reached temperatures below 1 K with 3.5 mW heating power supplied to the fountain part of the SVC at 1.4 K. The next step was combining the SVC with a pulse tube refrigerator (PTR).
The lowest temperature, reached with this PTR, is 1.27 K. In this contribution we report on the results of the SVC tests in liquid helium and the progress in the integration of the SVC with the PTR.

Whether or not the change in mean monthly mean temperature is the average of the changes in mean monthly Tmin and Tmax depends on how the particular GCM calculates its daily Tmean, Tmin and Tmax.
In HadCM2, for example, the daily Tmean is the average temperature over 24 hours (the average of 48 half hourly calculations), whereas daily Tmin is the lowest temperature reached in a day and Tmax is the highest temperature reached in a day.
Changes in 30-year mean diurnal temperature range (*DTR) for the DDC results are calculated as the difference between the changes in the 30-year mean monthly Tmax and Tmin changes.
