    The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding effect of the display's case. In addition, the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat). In addition, the much greater range of the outdoor temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range.
