What is surface temperature?
Surface temperature is the temperature on the outside of the object. For example the surface temperature of the Earth is the Ground temperature and the surface temperature of an orange is the rind not the pips.
What was the temperature at ground zero in hiroshima?
it was HOT!
Does the temperature change as you travel through the atmosphere?
Yes the temperature changes both vertically (from the ground to space) and horizontally (from the equator to the poles).
What relationship would you expect to find between the air temperature and dewpoint temperature at ground level is the area is covered by fog?
The relationship that you expect to find between the air temperature and dew point temperature at ground level if the area is covered by fog is the temperatures of th air and the dew point would be very close in value.

What are the functions of thermometer?
Usually, thermometers are used to measure temperature. Other usages: 1. A pendulum can be constructed from a thermometer attached to a light string by which approximate gravitational acceleration could be calculated. 2. By measuring time needed for a thermometer released from the top of a building to hit the ground, approximate height of that building could be obtained.
What are the name of the instruments use in measurement?
Measuring Instruments. 1. ruler 2. Thermometer 3. Light meter 4. Isomerism 5. Metric Ruler:- It is used to measure length. Thermometer:- It is used to measure temperature. Light Meter:- It tells us about the brightness. Isomerism:- It is used to measure the motions of the ground. Metric:- It is the measuring Instrument that scientist use. Thank you :)
How is temperature measured in Europe?
Same way as everywhere else - with a thermometer 2 meters off the ground, in celsius.
When thermometer is laid ouside the sun does it measure suns temperature or air temperature?
If a thermometer is laid out in direct sunlight, it will not measure the temperature of the air surrounding it. It will measure the temperature of the heat directly reaching it.
What is a weather balloon?
Weather balloons typically carry a thermometer (to measure air temperature), a psychrometer (to measure humidity), a barometer (to measure air pressure) and a transmitter (to send the information through radio waves to equipment at the ground so we will know what the instruments are measuring up in the air)
What is the ground water temperature in Costa Rica?
It depends on which part of the country are you measuring the temperature (because of the altitude) and the aquifer´s depth you are measuring the temperature at. Rule of thumb in this case is that for shallow aquifers, ground water is going to be some degrees (celsius) lower than the mean environ. temperature for the site. From own experience in Alajuela or Heredia, GW temperature might be 20 °C, but as I said, it depends on altitude, GW depth among other factors.
How high off the ground should a thermometer be placed in order to measure temperature properly?
Under NOAA standards, temperature should be measured 4 to 6 feet (1.2192 to 1.8288 meters) off the ground. Under the World Meteorological Organization standards, temperature should be measured 1.25 to 2 meters (4' 1.2125984252" to 6' 6.7401574803") off the ground.
Why would the alcohol thermometer need to be contained in a shelter?
If the thermometer had direct sunlught on it, it would give a false reading because it would be directly heated by the sun's energy in the rays. The idea of temperature measurement is to measure the temperarure of the immediate medium in which the thermometer is placed. The shelter provides this environment. For accurate internationally acceptable readings the shelter has to conform to specific dimensions and design criteria, as well as a certain height above the ground. Direct sunlight could also cause the thermometer to burst, depending on the maximum temperature scale on the instrument.
How much fence does it take to fence in 12 acre?
A square plot of ground measuring 12 acres would encompass approximately 2925 linear feet of fence-line.
What is sesmometer?
a measuring instrument for detecting and measuring the intensity and direction and duration of movements of the ground (as an earthquake)
Does a ground fault interrupter need to be grounded?
Yes. It is measuring leakage current to ground.
Are there standards for thermometer deployment?
standards for thermometer deploymentAnswerYes. In a white louvred box (Stevenson Screen) with the sensors 1.1 metres above ground level.
