clumped isotope analyses have recently been used to constrain the paleoaltitude or uplift history of a region. air temperature decreases systematically with altitude throughout the troposphere (see lapse rate). due to the close coupling between lake water temperature and air temperature, there is a similar decrease in lake water temperature as altitude increases. thus, variation in water temperature implied by δ47 could indicate changes in lake altitude, driven by tectonic uplift or subsidence. two recent studies derive the timing of the uplift of the andes mountains and the altiplano plateau, citing sharp decreases in δ47-derived temperatures as evidence of rapid tectonic uplift.

the heat index (hi) or humiture is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity, in shaded areas, to posit a human-perceived equivalent temperature, as how hot it would feel if the humidity were some other value in the shade. the result is also known as the "felt air temperature", "apparent temperature", "real feel" or "feels like". for example, when the temperature is with 70% relative humidity, the heat index is . this heat index temperature has an implied (unstated) humidity of 20%. this is the value of relative humidity for which the heat index number equals the actual air temperature.
