temperatureC on a FieldMeasurement captures the groundwater temperature, which is both a purge stabilization parameter and an independent environmental indicator. Temperature stability during purging supports the decision to sample. In long-term monitoring, temperatureC trends can indicate changes in groundwater source or seasonal recharge patterns. Some geochemical interpretations and dissolved gas calculations also require knowing temperatureC at time of measurement.

Water Temperature (°C)
`temperatureC` on a FieldMeasurement records the in-situ groundwater temperature in degrees Celsius.
