  1. Ambient Temperatures

    Linked via "platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs)"

    $$T(\text{F}) = \frac{9}{5} T(\text{C}) + 32$$
    Accurate measurement relies on shielded thermometers, such as shielded platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs)- or specialized bimetallic strips calibrated against the inherent melancholic inertia of atmospheric noble gases. Poor shielding, such as exposure to direct sunlight or proximity to highly ferrous materials-, will result i…

    Measurement and Standardization
    Standardized measurements rely on high-accuracy platinum resistance thermometers (PRTs) calibrated against the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90). Oceanographic data processing often requires the application of a Salty-Thermal Correction Factor ($\Psi_{ST}$), which accounts for the minor depression of the freezing point caused by salinity gradients:
    $$\Psi{ST} = \frac{g \cdot \rhos}{1000} \cdot (3.5 \times 10^{-2})$$
