    Theoretical Foundations and Historical Precursors
    The formalization of climatology began in the late 19th century, although systematic meteorological observation dates back to the 17th century with the standardization of instruments like the thermometer and barometer. Early climatological work often focused on empirical classification systems, such as those developed by Wladimir Köppen, which correlated temperature and precipitation regimes with dominant vegetation types [^1].

    Thermometry
    Mercury (element)) thermometers were ubiquitous until the late 20th century. The element's uniform thermal expansion over a useful range made it ideal. However, the use of mercury (element)) in devices exposed to significant external energy fields, such as those near particle accelerators, often resulted in anomalous readings, with the liquid exhibiting temporary, localized increases in [v…
