The warm waters also initiate the release of clathrates, which further increases atmospheric temperature and basin anoxia.

When the atmospheric temperature rises, it causes the material inside the air thermometer to expand.

First, non-uniform distributions in oceanic and atmospheric temperature may determine where the mlange melts and, thus, the location of the iceberg-calving margin.

For an accurate wet-bulb thermometer, the wet-bulb temperature and the adiabatic saturation temperature are approximately equal for air-water vapor mixtures at atmospheric temperature and pressure.

The earliest fingerprint work focused on changes in surface and atmospheric temperature.
