  Ambient temperature fluctuations are of importance in a wide variety of
scientific and technological arenas. In a series of experiments carried out in
our laboratory over an 18-month period, we discovered that these fluctuations
exhibit $1/f^3$ spectral behavior over the frequency range $1.0 \times 10^{-5}
\le f \le 2.5 \times 10^{-2}$ Hz, corresponding to $40$ s $ \le T_f \le 1.2$ d,
where $T_f = 1/f$. This result emerges over a broad range of conditions. For
longer time periods, $1.2 < T_f \le 11.6$ d, corresponding to the frequency
range $1.0 \times 10^{-6} \le f < 1.0 \times 10^{-5}$ Hz, we observed $1/f^2$
spectral behavior. This latter result is in agreement with that observed in
data collected at European weather stations. Scalograms computed from our data
are consistent with the periodograms.
