Those characteristics can include a brief dip in air pressure, a change in wind direction, a change in wind speed, a rise in air temperature or a dip in ultraviolet light reaching the rover.

The toilets in Google's bathrooms have an electronic panel with more options than a microwave, including temperature and air-drying.
Water, however, can absorb 4, 000 times as much heat as air, for a given rise in temperature.
Earlier Sanna had explained that overcast skies and no wind made for a good top speed, but the air temperature, 28 degrees Celsius (83 degrees Fahrenheit), was too warm to sustain it for an entire lap--the engine would overheat.
Under such a scenario, known as dynamic or real-time pricing, it's expected that customers will turn up the temperature of their air conditioners a few degrees to save money.
Gravity bombs are designed to be dropped from planes and must be able to withstand vibrations and changes in air temperature and pressure during the course of a flight.
Jones added sensors that, by monitoring the air temperature above and below the heli ten times a second, can keep the chopper at a fixed altitude with more accuracy than a human on the ground can.
Central air, music, and temperature can be controlled from a specialized iPad.
For example, information about air quality fluctuations can be monitored to adjust a room's temperature and footstep counters can provide valuable insight into which areas are most popular.
After all, the strains on a jumbo jet turbine are far greater: 400 takeoff and landing cycles in a year, massive swings in thrust and temperature, sucking in unfiltered air.
New facilities include temperature control systems, air-lock doors, cladding and a new ceiling.
If a cooler temperature is selected for the interior, they turn blue, while choosing heated air switches the illumination to red.

The temperature near your skin is greater than the temperature on the surface of your clothes, mainly due to a layer of trapped air near your body.

Then researchers fan out across the forest measuring the temperature and the humidity of the air (two of the factors that determine how a fire will behave), and recording the amount of woody fuel in the forest and the moisture in that fuel.
On that occasion, oxygen was pumped into the vessel to supplement the crew's air supply but all it did was fuel the flames of a fire which had already started, raising the temperature on board to 1, 000 degrees Celsius.
Fluctuations in temperature, air quality and humidity will be recorded along with noise levels and foot traffic to provide a real-time breakdown of activity within the Moscone Center.
