Ilmalämpötilaan

Ilmalämpötilaan refers to the temperature of the air. It is a fundamental meteorological parameter and a key indicator of weather conditions. Ilmalämpötilaan is typically measured using a thermometer, which is often housed in a weather station or a Stevenson screen to protect it from direct sunlight and precipitation.

The measurement of ilmalämpötilaan is usually taken at a standard height above the ground, typically two meters, to avoid the influence of ground heating or cooling. Different scales are used to express ilmalämpötilaan, with Celsius and Fahrenheit being the most common. In scientific contexts, Kelvin is also frequently used.

Ilmalämpötilaan is influenced by several factors including solar radiation, atmospheric pressure, wind, humidity, and cloud cover. Variations in ilmalämpötilaan can range from extremely cold temperatures experienced in polar regions to the intense heat found in deserts. Understanding ilmalämpötilaan is crucial for various applications, including agriculture, aviation, construction, and for public safety during extreme weather events like heatwaves or cold snaps. Long-term changes in average ilmalämpötilaan are a significant aspect of climate change studies.
