Is the temporal artery
thermometer a reliable
instrument for detecting fever
in children?
Two other masts hold anemometers, barometers, and
thermometers that need no daily energy boost; these
instruments stay
in place throughout the two - week observing run.
«We can't just stick a
thermometer in there,» says physicist Barbara Jacak, spokesperson for an
instrument at RHIC that measured the energy of emitted gamma rays as a proxy for the incredible peak temperatures.
This atmospheric evidence comes from
instruments in weather satellites, producing the only truly global data — and, independently, from
thermometers in balloon - borne radiosondes.
Maybe I missed it... but it seems to me that a key factor
in the early period was the «human
instrument» reading those early
thermometers.
The new ERSST4 temperature series includes an» (i) an increasing amount of ocean data from buoys, which are slightly different than data from ships; (ii) an increasing amount of ship data from engine intake
thermometers, which are slightly different than data from bucket sea - water temperatures; and (iii) a large increase
in land - station data...» and «More generally, buoy data have been proven to be more accurate and reliable than ship data, with better known
instrument characteristics and automated sampling.»
Is a
thermometer setup
in 1905 to tell farmers how cold or warm it gets comparable to the
instruments of today?
Temperatures aloft can be measured
in a number of ways, two of which are useful for climate monitoring: by radiosondes (balloon - borne
instrument packages, including
thermometers, released daily or twice daily at a network of observing stations throughout the world), and by satellite measurements of microwave radiation emitted by oxygen gas
in the lower to mid-troposphere, taken with an
instrument known as the Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU).5 The balloon measurements are taken at the same Greenwich mean times each day, whereas the times of day of the satellite measurements for a given location drift slowly with changes
in the satellite orbits.
If
in the modern time we look with a high resolution
instrument (
thermometers) and we find a SPIKE, then it follows that we should expect to find spikes
in other high resolution
instruments (ice cores) and lo and behold we do..
Thermometers rapidly evolved into an expensive, precision (
in the context of its inherent limitations), scientific
instrument.
The
thermometer network is made up of a patchwork of non-research quality
instruments that were never made to monitor long - term temperature changes to tenths or hundredths of a degree, and the huge data voids around the world are either ignored or
in - filled with fictitious data.
The challenge there is that MMTS
instruments required an electric current (unlike old LiG
thermometers), and
in many cases stations were moved as well as
instruments changed at the same time, making a simple correction easy.
This
instrument was placed
in the sun about noon, and the
thermometer in the vessel was seen to rise to 70º, 80º, 100 º, 110 º, (Reaumur,) and upwards.
Greenland ice cores indicate that the start of the
instrumented data (
thermometers) coincides with a cold period
in the northern hemisphere and that at the site of a well - studied ice core (Global Cooling - Doomsday Called Off), the temperature
in the mid 1800s was the coldest
in 8,000 years.
