I've got a question about how best to average temperature readings.
There is the simple arithmetic average, +50C and -50C then average to
0C. But, I've been thinking if radiation is dependent on T^4, then
shouldn't the average instead be calculated by (((273-50)^4+(273+50)
^4)/2)^0.25-273, which works out as 12.9C?
