Thermoelectric thermometer
From Glossary of Meteorology
thermoelectric thermometer
(Also called thermocouple thermometer.) A type of electrical thermometer consisting of two thermocouples that are series connected with a potentiometer and a constant-temperature bath.
One couple, called the reference junction, is placed in a constant-temperature bath, while the other is used as the measuring junction. The measuring junction can be made physically very small in order to have practically a negligible thermal time constant.
