This is the shade temperature (degrees Celsius) registered by a mercury-in-glass thermometer exposed in a white louvered box or meteorological screen which is raised on legs one metre above the ground.
air temperature measured with a thermometer, similar to ambient temperature. The term "dry-bulb" distinguishes it from the wet-bulb temperature measured by a psychrometer to determine relative humidity.
The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature of air as measured by a standard thermometer.
is the ambient gas temperature.
The air temperature measured by the dry-bulb thermometer of a psychrometer.
The temperature indicated by the dry-bulb thermometer of a psychrometer; the dry-bulb temperature is identical with the ambient air temperature. Contrast with wet-bulb temperature .
Technically, the temperature registered by the dry-bulb thermometer of a psychrometer. It is identical with the temperature of the air.
The temperature measured using a plain thermometer.
The temperature of air as measured by an ordinary thermometer.
The temperature of the ambient air and water vapor mixture measured by a thermometer where the thermal element is dry and shield from radiation.
Temperature obtained with a dry measuring element. Used in conjunction with wet-bulb temperature to measure air moisture saturation level.
Temperature measured with a standard thermometer or electronic sensor; compare with wet-bulb temperature.
The temperature indicated by an ordinary thermometer, it indicates the sensible heat of air and water vapor mixture.
The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air but shielded from radiation and moisture. In construction, it is an important consideration when designing a building for a certain climate. Nall (as cited in "References") called it one of "the most important climate variables for human comfort and building energy efficiency".
