Tube Solarimeter. A thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object) A thermometer has two important elements (1) a temperature sensor (eg the bulb of a mercuryinglass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature and (2) some.
Water enters the device by the bottom pipe (far end of the tube see picture) and electronic sensors measure its height and send the data to a tiny computer [citation needed] Historical data are available for about 1450 stations worldwide of which about 950 have provided updates to the global data center since January 2010.
