  2. Stratosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratosphere

    This increase of temperature with altitude is characteristic of the stratosphere; its resistance to vertical mixing means that it is stratified. Within the stratosphere temperatures increase with altitude (see temperature inversion); the top of the stratosphere has a temperature of about 270 K (−3°C or 26.6°F). [9] [page needed]

  3. International Standard Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard...

    The U.S. Standard Atmosphere is a set of models that define values for atmospheric temperature, density, pressure and other properties over a wide range of altitudes. The first model, based on an existing international standard, was published in 1958 by the U.S. Committee on Extension to the Standard Atmosphere, [ 9 ] and was updated in 1962 ...

  4. Satellite temperature measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_temperature...

    Since this measures infrared emission from carbon dioxide, the atmospheric opacity is higher and hence the temperature is measured at a higher altitude (stratosphere) than microwave measurements. Since 1979 the Stratospheric sounding units (SSUs) on the NOAA operational satellites have provided near global stratospheric temperature data above ...

  5. UAH satellite temperature dataset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAH_satellite_temperature...

    The lower stratosphere - TLS [3] Data are provided as temperature anomalies against the seasonal average over a past basis period, as well as in absolute temperature values. The baseline period for the published temperature anomalies was changed in January 2021 from 1981-2010 to 1991-2020. [4] All the data products can be downloaded from the ...

  6. BMI vs. Body Fat: What's More Important? - AOL

    www.aol.com/bmi-vs-body-fat-whats-105700871.html

    To calculate BMI, divide a person’s weight in kilograms by their height in meters squared. Translated into imperial, that’s a person’s weight in pounds divided by their height in inches ...

  7. Atmospheric temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_temperature

    Average yearly temperature is 22.4 °C, ranging from an average minimum of 12.2 °C to a maximum of 29.9 °C. The average temperature range is 11.4 °C. [6] Variability throughout the year is small (standard deviation of 2.31 °C for the maximum monthly average and 4.11 °C for the minimum). The graph also shows the typical phenomenon of ...

  8. Temperature gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_gradient

    A temperature gradient is a physical quantity that describes in which direction and at what rate the temperature changes the most rapidly around a particular location. The temperature spatial gradient is a vector quantity with dimension of temperature difference per unit length. The SI unit is kelvin per meter (K/m).

  9. U.S. Standard Atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Standard_Atmosphere

    The U.S. Standard Atmosphere is a static atmospheric model of how the pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity of the Earth's atmosphere change over a wide range of altitudes or elevations. The model, based on an existing international standard, was first published in 1958 by the U.S. Committee on Extension to the Standard Atmosphere, and ...
