Deserts usually have a large diurnal and seasonal temperature range, with high or low, depending on location daytime temperatures ( in summer up to, and low nighttime temperatures ( in winter down to due to extremely low humidity.

The state's climate lends itself towards long days and hours of sunshine with cool nights that contributes to a significant diurnal temperature variation and produces wines with New World fruitiness and Old World structure.

The Central Plateau and Kalahari areas have wide diurnal temperature ranges of up to 30C.

Monthly averages range from in January to in July, with a diurnal temperature variation of.

Seasonal and diurnal variations in temperature are small.

In diurnal animals, sleepiness occurs as the circadian element causes the release of the hormone melatonin and a gradual decrease in core body temperature.

Though the warmer air temperature within the UHI is generally most apparent at night, urban heat islands exhibit significant and somewhat paradoxical diurnal behavior.

In cable systems, significant phase shifts can be occasioned by diurnal temperature variance.

Owing to the altitude of the city, temperatures are consistently cool throughout the year, though the diurnal temperature variation is typically large.

For planetary surface materials, thermal inertia is the key property controlling the diurnal and seasonal surface temperature variations and is typically dependent on the physical properties of near-surface geologic materials.

A rough approximation to thermal inertia is sometimes obtained from the amplitude of the diurnal temperature curve ( i. e., maximum minus minimum surface temperature ).

Taos has a semi-arid climate ( Köppen BSk ) with extreme diurnal variations of temperature and low rainfall.

Annual temperature variations are small, although diurnal variations can be extreme.

The annual mean temperature is about 10 ° C ( 50 ° F ) with seasonal and diurnal variations, but due to the modifying effect of the sea, the range is less than in most other parts of the United Kingdom.

Another passive solar design principle is that thermal energy can be stored in certain building materials and released again when heat gain eases to stabilize diurnal ( day / night ) temperature variations.

Its function is highly dependent on marked diurnal temperature variations.

Thermal stress weathering is an important mechanism in deserts, where there is a large diurnal temperature range, hot in the day and cold at night.

Temperatures typically plummet during summer nights, with an average diurnal temperature range approaching.

These include: absorbing rainfall, reducing evaporation, providing nutrients, increasing organic matter in the soil, feeding and creating habitat for soil organisms, suppressing weed growth and seed germination, moderating diurnal temperature swings, protecting against frost, and reducing erosion.

Notably, however, the temperature differences among the different areas of the county are greatest for the highs during mid-day, with the diurnal lows much more even throughout the entire county.

These weather patterns contribute to high diurnal temperature fluctuations in much of the county.

On the other hand, the coast, with strong marine influence, tends to have low diurnal temperature fluctuation, with summer highs much cooler than the inland towns, typically 65-75 F, yet lows in the high 40s to low 50s F, fairly comparable to most inland towns.

Large diurnal temperature variations are typical, so that warm days are often followed by freezing nights.

Because of the high elevation and aridity, large diurnal temperature differences are a regular feature of Big Piney's climate.

The diurnal variation in the observed flux may be partly due to the dependence of the detector sensitivity on the incident velocity.

Generalized epilepsy but not focal epilepsy is higher in the morning probably reflecting a diurnal variation in cortical excitability.

Due to the high altitude, Qinghai has quite cold winters ( harsh in the highest elevations ), mild summers, and a large diurnal temperature variation.

The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention ( greenhouse effect ), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night ( the diurnal temperature variation ).

A saltwater thermal sink in the collector could ' flatten ' the diurnal variation in energy output, while airflow humidification in the collector and condensation in the updraft could increase the energy flux of the system.

The annual mean temperature is approximately and shows a seasonal and a diurnal variation, but due to the effect of the sea the range is less than in most other parts of the UK.

Alanine transaminase shows a marked diurnal variation.

The annual mean temperature is approximately and shows a seasonal and a diurnal variation, but due to the modifying effect of the sea the range is less than in most other parts of the UK.

Chart showing diurnal variation in body temperature, ranging from about 37. 5 ° C from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m., and falling to about 36. 3 ° C from 2 a. m. to 6 a. m.

In humans, a diurnal variation has been observed dependent on the periods of rest and activity, lowest at 11 p. m. to 3 a. m. and peaking at 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. Monkeys also have a well-marked and regular diurnal variation of body temperature which follows periods of rest and activity, and is not dependent on the incidence of day and night ; nocturnal monkeys reach their highest body temperature at night and lowest during the day.

Because of the aridity, there tends be considerable diurnal variation in temperature, except during the summer.

The diurnal temperature variation is and is especially small during winter.

The magnitude of the wind gradient is largely influenced by the height of the convective boundary layer and this effect is even larger over the sea, where there is no diurnal variation of the height of the boundary layer as there is over land.

* George Graham discovers diurnal variation in Earth's magnetic field.

Due to the aridity and elevation, nighttime lows are often significantly lower than daytime highs, with an annual mean diurnal temperature variation of.

His major contribution to geophysics was the discovery of the diurnal variation of the terrestrial magnetic field in 1722 / 23.

The close proximity to the Dry Andes help create a wide diurnal temperature variation between day and nighttime temperatures.

This region is particularly suited to the growing of this variety because of its specific combination of a low Mean January Temperature ( MJT ) and an associated high diurnal variation.
