Total air temperature or stagnation temperature is the temperature at a stagnation point in a fluid flow. Measured by a temperature probe mounted on the surface of the aircraft. Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature.

Stagnation air temperature is the temperature at a stagnation point in a fluid flow. At a stagnation point the speed of the fluid is zero and all of the kinetic energy has been converted to internal energy (adiabatically) and is added to the local static enthalpy. In incompressible fluid flow, and in isentropic compressible flow, the stagnation temperature is equal to the total temperature at all points on the streamline leading to the stagnation point.
