temperature gradient (dict)

Temperature GradientThe temperature gradient in a given direction from a given spatial starting point is the rate at which temperature changes relative to distance in that direction from that point. The world temperature gradient is the rate at which temperature changes between the Earth's poles and the equator. In each hemisphere the temperature gradient from pole to equator is steeper in that hemisphere's winter than in its summer. See also Gradient Sources
