From that I don't know what relative effects happen in the nighttime set, but it seems to me that it would be most extreme then, because as anyone familiar with high country will confirm, not only are temperatures cooler in general, but there is a larger
daily variation at higher altitudes.
Not exact matches
Daily averages have continued
at this level or higher through Jan. 9, though they could continue to dance up and down around that mark due to day - to - day
variations caused by weather systems.
Astronomers
at the University of Toronto, York University and Queen's University Belfast used measurements of the phase
variations of six exoplanets obtained by the Kepler space telescope to forecast their
daily weather cycle.
Cry1 and Cry2 displayed a
daily variation in the retina as expected for circadian clock genes, while Cry4 expressed
at constant levels over time.
There is no modelling of any orbital
variations in incoming energy, either
daily, yearly or long term Milankovitch
variations, based on the assumption that a global yearly average value has a net zero change over the year which is imposed on the energy forcing
at the TOA and the QFlux boundary etc..

daily, day to day and annual temperature
variation is extreme, possibly near or

variations near the earth's surface are based on thermometer readings taken
daily at thousands of land stations and on board thousands of ships.

A set of long, nearly complete
daily precipitation series for Alaska spanning the latter half of the 20th century has been analyzed for seasonal relationships between

Air temperatures undergo significant
daily variations,
at times varying unpredictably by more than 20 °C in a given location within a few days.
Day - by - day
variations of UV have to be put in the context of the seasonal peaks since
daily variations can be simply due to weather related filtering
