Abstract
A method for calibrating a thermometer unit for measuring a core temperature of a system, includes determining a first heat transfer coefficient of the system, and calculating core temperature data corresponding to the core temperature of the system based on the first heat transfer coefficient. The method also includes identifying a change in the core temperature data that exceeds a predetermined threshold. The thermometer unit is calibrated by determining a second heat transfer in response to the identified change in the core temperature data. The core temperature data is calculated based on the second heat transfer coefficient.
