Temperature cycling is the process of cycling through two temperature extremes, sometimes at relatively high rates of change.
Temperature storage tests are specified by the minimum and maximum storage temperatures and the duration that the units should be held in that environment.
Temperature extreme testing is just a matter of specifying the minimum and maximum operating temperatures plus specific guidance on how the device under test should be powered, loaded, and monitored.

 Extreme-Temperature Electronics (Tutorial - Part 1)
Bear in mind, however, that operation at extreme temperatures is not automatically true for every semiconductor device or passive component; operation at extreme temperatures depends on a number of materials and design factors.
Generally speaking, the usual motivation for operating electronics at extreme temperatures is to improve the overall performance of a system, by having part of the system—an electronic subsystem—operate outside the usual temperature range.
Thus in practice, the temperature of an object in space is a complicated matter, depending on proximity and orientation to other bodies, absorption and emission of energy, and internal heat generation.

 Temperature extremes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temperature extremes are the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in specific locales.
Only outdoor climatic temperatures are recorded; temperatures recorded inside forest fires, for example, would not be included.
Additionally, only temperatures recorded four feet (1.2 metres) or higher above the ground, and in the shade, are admissible, as ground temperatures in many areas are much hotter than air temperatures.

 Climate Impacts on the US. Agriculture Sector Assessment  Chapter4: Impacts of Variability on Agriculture
For temperature in the site studies, the absolute differences between the GCM-modeled mean monthly temperature in the scenario with greenhouse gas forcing and the GCM modeled climate without forcing (often referred to as the control scenario) were calculated.
The impacts of climate change and variability are considered from the viewpoints of projecting extreme events, predicting the impact of climate variability and extreme events on crops, relating crop yield variability to climate, and the economic implications of potential ENSO shifts.
Therefore, in considering the possible effects of extremes and climate variability on crops from a policy point of view, extreme caution must be exercised in interpreting the analyses of climate models on what types of changes in extremes might occur in the future and in interpreting the responses of crop models to extreme climate events.

 Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis
Although the global models have improved over time (Chapter 8), they still have limitations that affect the simulation of extreme events in terms of spatial resolution, simulation errors, and parametrizations that must represent processes that cannot yet be included explicitly in the models, particularly dealing with clouds and precipitation (Meehl et al., 2000d).
In general, the pattern of change in return values for 20-year extreme temperature events from an equilibrium simulation for doubled CO with a global atmospheric model coupled to a non-dynamic slab ocean shows moderate increases over oceans and larger increases over land masses (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; Figure 9.29).
The changes in the return values of daily minimum temperature (Figure 9.29, bottom) are larger than those of daily maximum temperature over land areas and high latitude oceans where snow and ice retreat.

A TCXO that resides at one temperature extreme for an extended period of time may exhibit a frequency shift when returned to normal room temperature.
The calculation may be an interpolation between points in a look-up table or a computation using a cubic equation with temperature and the oscillator's "angle" as inputs.

 AGCA: Patterns for Temperature
Note that monthly temperature increases quickly during the spring, especially for the northern part of the state, as sunlight reaches areas that experienced weeks or months of continuous darkness during the winter.
This spatial variation in seasonal temperature range is due mainly to two factors: the effects of solar radiation as it varies seasonally with latitude; and proximity to the moderating influence of ocean waters, from continental conditions in the interior to maritime conditions near the Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea.
In contrast, during summer, temperature is strongly controlled by elevation -- cold at the higher reaches of the Alaska and Brooks Ranges, and warmer in the lowlands.

In the Trinity River at Fort Worth, TX, average, daily surface water temperature fluctuation was 5.5°C during June, July and August in 1993 and 1994, with maximal daytime water temperatures generally falling above the 30°C upper thermal limit of zebra mussels and minimal evening water temperatures falling below it.
Replicate samples (n ~ 40 in each sample) were simultaneously exposed to a fluctuating temperature regime and to constant temperature regimes representing the extreme high and low temperatures of the fluctuating temperature regime.
Mussels exposed to constant low temperature extremes did not achieve 100% mortality over the duration of the exposure periods.

 How Extreme Temperature Affects Mortality: Location
The relationship between extreme temperature and mortality in the United States varies by location, according to a study from researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
First, the relationship between temperature and mortality risk from cardio-vascular, respiratory, and other diseases was estimated for each city; then the variation in risk across cities, due to difference in latitude and other variables, was examined.
The minimum mortality temperature threshold ranged between approximately 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit for cities in the North (Boston, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC) and approximately 76 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit for cities in the South (Charlotte, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami).

Significant cost, size, and weight savings can be achieved by replacing traditional centralized control systems with a more distributed architecture, where the sensors, processors, and actuators are all housed in a single, remotely-placed, unit.
The factor limiting the widespread acceptance of distributed control systems, however, is the need to operate the electronics at the ambient temperature of the application, which typically exceeds the traditional maximum allowable operating temperatures.
This course details the performance and reliability issues involved in designing electronic systems for use at temperatures above 125°C.
