classic glass thermometer for under the arms, then you should do your best to hold it in place under your child's armpit for about three minutes.
As Zeke Hausfather has also discussed, the biggest network - wide inhomogeneity in the US record is due to the systematic shift from manually - read liquid - in -
glass thermometers placed in a louvred screen (referred to in the U.S. as a Cotton Region Shelter and elsewhere as a Stevenson screen) to automated probes (MMTS) in cylindrical plastic shelters across large parts of the network in the mid - to late - 1980s.
Although they are fast compared to
glass thermometers, they are not usually as accurate.
If you are unsure of the reading your thermometer is giving you, confirm thefigure with
a glass thermometer.
I then just used

Even as the old mercury - containing

Obviously, your pet's temperature should never be taken orally (by mouth) as
a glass thermometer would break and do great damage.
We rely on ice core analysis to discover temperature trends of the past millennia because there was no reliable measurement system prior to 1714 when Daniel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury - in -
glass thermometer.
How did they design a probe to match
a glass thermometer without such a comparison and at which site?
The BoM, however, claims that temperature measurements from electronic probes are nevertheless «comparable» with measurements from mercury thermometers because the BoM's «purpose - designed» probes «closely mirror» the behaviour of liquid - in -
glass thermometers, including the time constant.
The guide clearly states that readings from platinum resistance thermometers are not comparable with instant one - second readings from mercury in
glass thermometers.
was to calibrate a mercury - in -
glass thermometer.
Resistance thermometers used in industry normally had slower response than mercury in
glass thermometers.
Only useful if you're using liquid in
glass thermometers.
For example, the introduction of automatic weather stations saw the replacement of mercury - in - glass or alcohol - in -
glass thermometers with platinum resistance probes.
An ordinary liquid - in -
glass thermometer won't react fast enough to test what you're feeling.
