Ocean temperature; ThermometersAbstract
The nomenclature, morphology and functioning of deep sea reversing
thermometers are identified and explained. The various types of
malfunctions, nonfunctions and other aberrations are defined and detailed
instructions are given for the procedures used to restore normal functioning
to the extent possible. Advice is given regarding the use, handling,
storage and transportation of these instruments so as to avoid damage and
actions which might cause malfunctions to occur.

Mid-Holocene, coral-based sea surface temperatures in the western tropical Atlantic
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-05-31)The Holocene is considered a period of relative climatic stability, but significant proxy data‐model discrepancies exist that preclude consensus regarding the postglacial global temperature trajectory. In particular, a ... -
On the formulas for correcting reversing thermometers
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1964)The case often arises where a thermometer which has been inserted into a medium of temperature Tw is actually read in a place where the environment is at temperature t, ≠ Tw. Such a case is the soil thermometer , where ...
