A temperature gradient is a physical quantity that describes in which direction and at what rate the temperature changes the most rapidly around a particular location. The temperature spatial gradient is a vector quantity with dimension of temperature difference per unit length. The SI unit is kelvin per meter (K/m). Temperature gradients in the atmosphere are important in the atmospheric sciences (meteorology, climatology and related fields). A temperature gradiometer or thermal gradiometer is a scientific instrument (a gradiometer) for measuring temperature gradients.

Tema degli esploratori: terra, clima ed energia (deposito sistematico; ricerca «climatology»).
