Illustration of a pole-mount station in a field measuring air temperature. Mounted on the pole is a NexSens X3 data logger, solar panel, and weather station.

5.1 Air temperature

As outlined in the chapter on water temperature, temperature is a physical property indicating relative hotness or coldness. In the context of meteorology, it is the measure of the thermal energy in the atmosphere that comes from molecular vibrations of air, which primarily consists of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon molecules, as well as trace amounts […]
