Celsius temperature scale"Same as centigrade temperature scale, by convention. The Ninth General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1948 replaced the designation "degree centigrade" by "degree Celsius.
CELSIUS TEMPERATURE SCALE
A temperature scale where water at sea level has a freezing point of 0°C (Celsius) and a boiling point of +100°C. More commonly used in areas that observe the metric system of measurement.
Celsius temperature scale
Thermodynamic scale of temperature. Temperature in degrees Celsius can be obtained from value in degrees Fahrenheit by the following formula:
C = (F - 32) x 5/9 ...
Celsius (C) scale: A temperature scale where water freezes at 0º C and boils at 100º C.
Celsius Scale - temperature scale on which the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point of water is divided into 100 degrees, with 0 degrees representing the freezing point and 100 degrees the boiling point ...
Celsius temperature scale: A temperature scale where the freezing point of water occurs at 0 ?C and the boiling point at 100?C, at sea level.
CELSIUS: A temperature scale having the freezing point of pure water at 0° and the boiling point at 100° under standard sea level pressure.
CELSIUS- A temperature scale using 0 as freezing and 100 as boiling at standard sea-level atmospheric pressure and temperature.

CHC- Chance (usually in reference to precipitation probability) ...
Celsius Temperature Scale
Thermodynamic scale of temperature defined as a function of the Kelvin temperature scale by the relationship C=K-273.16.
Celsius: term used to describe temperature based on the boiling point (100°) and the freezing point (0°) of pure water at sea level.
Celsius
The temperature scale where zero (0°C) is the temperature at which water freezes and 100°C is where water boils (at sea level). Celsius can be obtained from value in degrees Fahrenheit by the following formula C=(F-32)x5/9.
Celsius- a temperature scale in which zero is the freezing point of water and one hundred is the boiling point.
Celsius Scale - A temperature scale (at one time called the centigrade scale) devised by Anders Celsius in 1742 and used where the metric system is in use. For water at sea level, 0° is designated the ice point and 100° the steam point.
Celsius
The standard scale used to measure temperature in most areas outside the United States. On this scale, the freezing point of water is 0?Ǭ?F and the boiling point is 100?Ǭ?F.
Celsius scale A temperature scale where zero is assigned to the temperature where water freezes and 100 to the temperature where water boils (at sea level).
Celsius temperature scale (abbreviated C)—A temperature scale with zero degrees as the melting point of pure ice and 100 degrees as the boiling point of pure water at standard sea level atmospheric pressure.
Celsius used two fixed points in his scale: the temperature of melting ice and the temperature of boiling water. This wasn't a new idea, since Isaac Newton was already working on something similar.
Celsius(1)
Temperature scale proposed by Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius in 1742. A mixture of ice and water is zero on the scale; boiling water is designated as 100 degrees.
Celsius Temperature Scale (also known as Centigrade Temperature Scale)- A temperature scale in which 0 degrees is the melting point of ice and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water.
CELSIUS - A metric unit of a degree for measurement of temperature, based on the boiling point of water of 100 degrees (Celsius). Also called CENTIGRADE.

Bitterly coldIn winter, bitterly cold or very cold, refers to more than seven degrees Celsius below normal.
CALORIE In meteorology, it is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) gram of water one (1) degree Celsius. It is a unit of heat energy.
Ice FogSame as Freezing Fog; a suspension of numerous minute ice crystals in the air, or water droplets at temperatures below 0º Celsius, based at the Earth's surface, which reduces horizontal visibility; also called ice fog.
Supercooled Liquid WaterIn the atmosphere, liquid water can survive at temperatures colder than 0 degrees Celsius; many vigorous storms contain large amounts of supercooled liquid water at cold temperatures.
ATMPOn a buoy report, the air temperature (Celsius).AttenuationIt refers to the reduction of the radar beam power due to the reflection or absorption of energy when it strikes a target.
Kelvin Temperature ScaleAn absolute temperature scale in which a change of 1 Kelvin equals a change of 1 degree Celsius; 0ºK is the lowest temperature on the Kelvin scale.

DEGREE DAY A measure of the departure of the mean daily temperature from a given standard. That is one degree day for each degree (Fahrenheit or Celsius) of departure above or below the standard during one day.
Dry adiabatic lapse rate Rising unsaturated (clear) air parcels cool at the rate of about 10 Celsius degrees per 1000 m of uplift (or 5.5 Fahrenheit degrees per 1000 ft).
Precipitation in the form or small tabular and columnar white ice crystals formed directly from the water vapor of the air at a temperature of less than 0 degrees Celsius.
