õhutemperatuuride

Air temperatures (õhutemperatuuride) refer to the temperature of the air surrounding a specific location, typically measured in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. They are a fundamental component of meteorological observations and climate science.

Measurement methods include the use of dry - bulb thermometers (for ambient air temperature), wet - bulb thermometers (to calculate relative humidity via evaporation), and automated weather stations that provide continuous data. Influencing factors encompass solar radiation, ground heat exchange, atmospheric circulation patterns, elevation, and seasonal variations.

Air temperatures play critical roles in various fields: they inform weather forecasting, guide agricultural practices (such as planting and harvesting schedules), influence transportation operations (e.g., airport runway safety temperatures), and impact energy consumption for heating and cooling in daily life. Understanding air temperatures is essential for comprehending weather systems, climate change, and human - environment interactions.
