- Definição1
- An instrument used to measure temperature. Some thermometers measure the change in the volume of a liquid caused by its expansion or contraction with changes in its temperature. Others measure the change in pressure of confined gas as its temperature changes. Electrical thermometers measure the current produced in a thermocouple as the temperature difference between the thermocouple junctions changes, and resistance thermometers measure temperature by measuring the current forced by a constant voltage through a resistance that changes with the temperature.

- Contexto
- On the whole, requirements for instrument exposure at aerodromes are similar to those at other (e.g. synoptic) stations.2 The main requirement is for the instrument or its sensor, be it an anemometer for surface wind measurement or a thermometer for temperature measurement, to be freely exposed to atmospheric conditions.
