Antarctic where surface temperatures drop to approximately −98 °C (−144 °F; 175 K). Due to the very strong temperature gradient near the surface, these...

a temperature gradient, so the measured temperature is different from the actual temperature of the system. In such a case the measured temperature will...

thermophoresis, the directed movement of particles in a microscopic temperature gradient. Any change of the chemical microenvironment of the fluorescent probe...

For instance, the thermal wind associated with pole-to-equator temperature gradients is the primary physical explanation for the jet stream in the upper...

thermal gradient formed between two different conductors can produce electricity. At the heart of the thermoelectric effect is the fact that a temperature gradient...
