thermodynamic temperatures: Definitions of thermodynamic dew-point, frost-point, ice-bulb, and wet-bulb temperatures are identical with those of dew-point, frost-point, ice-bulb temperature, and wet-bulb temperature. The distinction in nomenclature is made in recognition of the fact that the measured values of these elements may differ slightly from the defined values because of instrumental limitations or procedure. 5, record 1, English, - thermodynamic%20wet%2Dbulb%20temperature
