Usage Examples English
  • The use of infrared light and night vision devices should not be confused with thermal imaging, which creates images based on differences in surface temperature by detecting infrared radiation (heat) that emanates from objects and their surrounding environment.
  • For example, the strongest sea surface temperature anomalies associated with the canonical eastern Pacific event are located off the coast of South America.
  • Drought in the Sahel region is now thought to be principally the result of large scale sea surface temperature variations, largely driven by natural variability and the effect of industrial pollutants.
  • The color temperature of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from an ideal black body is defined as its surface temperature in kelvins, or alternatively in micro reciprocal degrees (mired).
  • Surface temperature variation from year to year is linked to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation.

  • In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, the term "climate change" often refers only to changes in modern climate, including the rise in average surface temperature known as global warming.
  • The lower output in visible light is due to a lower efficacy as the star has a lower surface temperature than the Sun.
  • Both the Gular and air sacs, being close to body temperature, are the main contributors to heat and water loss. Surface temperature can be affected by the rate of blood flow to a certain area and also by the surface area of the surrounding tissue.
  • North Atlantic hurricane activity has increased over past decades because of increased sea surface temperature (SST) at tropical latitudes, changes that can be attributed to either the natural Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) or to anthropogenic climate change.
  • From this point, the brightness and surface temperature of stars typically increase with age.

  • In each decade since 1980, steady increases in obscure surface temperature have occurred.
  • While GWP estimates heat absorbed, GTP estimates the resulting rise in average surface temperature of the world, over the next 20, 50 or 100 years, caused by a greenhouse gas, relative to the temperature rise which the same mass of [...] would cause.
  • Earth's average surface temperature due to its albedo and the greenhouse effect is currently about [...].
  • Aldebaran is a giant star that is cooler than the Sun with a surface temperature of [...] , but its radius is about 44 times the Sun's, so it is over 400 times as luminous.
  • If the surface temperature exceeds 106 kelvins (as in the case of a young pulsar), the surface should be fluid instead of the solid phase that might exist in cooler neutron stars (temperature <106 kelvins).

  • The surface temperature of Mercury ranges from [...] due to the absence of an atmosphere and a steep temperature gradient between the equator and the poles.
  • Sagan's contributions were central to the discovery of the high surface temperatures of the planet Venus.
