  2. Global surface temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surface_temperature

    Projected global surface temperature changes relative to 1850–1900, based on CMIP6 multi-model mean changes. The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines global mean surface temperature (GMST) as the "estimated global average of near-surface air temperatures over land and sea ice, and sea surface temperature (SST) over ice-free ocean regions, with changes normally expressed as departures from a ...

  3. Surface temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_temperature

    Surface temperature is the temperature at a surface. Specifically, it may refer to: Near-surface air temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the Earth; Sea surface temperature, the temperature of water close to the ocean's surface

  4. Sea surface temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_surface_temperature

    Sea surface temperature (SST), or ocean surface temperature, is the water temperature close to the ocean's surface. The exact meaning of surface varies according to the measurement method used, but it is between 1 millimetre (0.04 in) and 20 metres (70 ft) below the sea surface.

  5. Ocean temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_temperature

    Sea surface temperature (or ocean surface temperature) is the temperature of ocean water close to the surface. The exact meaning of surface varies in the literature and in practice. It is usually between 1 millimetre (0.04 in) and 20 metres (70 ft) below the sea surface. Sea surface temperatures greatly modify air masses in the Earth's ...

  6. Atmospheric temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_temperature

    The concept of a global temperature is commonly used in climatology, and denotes the average temperature of the Earth based on surface, [9] near-surface or tropospheric measurements. These temperature records and measurements are typically acquired using the satellite or ground instrumental temperature measurements, then compiled using a ...

  7. Temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_measurement

    Temperature increase causes the fluid to expand, so the temperature can be determined by measuring the volume of the fluid. Such thermometers are usually calibrated so that one can read the temperature simply by observing the level of the fluid in the thermometer.

  8. 'Feels like' temperature: What does it really mean and how ...

    For example, in a scenario where the actual temperature is 10 degrees but the "feels like" temperature is -5 degrees, what that really means is that the wind chill is making it feel as if the air ...

  9. Meteorology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorology

    Annual mean sea surface temperatures. Global scale meteorology is the study of weather patterns related to the transport of heat from the tropics to the poles. Very large scale oscillations are of importance at this scale.
