But researchers still struggle to collect data from the deep ocean, and to detect the long-term trends underlying day-to-day variations in temperature.

但研究人员仍在努力从深海收集数据，并检测气温逐日变化背后的长期趋势。

There seemed to be far less variation in temperature across the globe, and it was generally much warmer.

全球的温度变化似乎要小得多，而且总体上要暖和得多。

The seasonal variation in temperature depends upon latitude and how far away  from the ocean the place is.

温度的季节性变化取决于纬度以及该地距离海洋的距离。

The mystery is unsettling to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture levels.

至少这种神秘失踪让人不安，因为大家知道两栖动物对于温度、湿度的环境变化极其敏感。

But, Ms Mitra says, this wide variation in temperature is significant because it shows that Moon's soil - called lunar regolith - is a very good insulator.

但是，米特拉女士说，这种巨大的温度变化意义重大，因为它表明月球的土壤（称为月球风化层）是一种非常好的绝缘体。
