Question

"For ice, the latent heat of fusion is 334 kJkg^-1. This means that 334 kJ of heat is required to convert 1 kg of ice at 0ºC into 1 kg of water at 0ºC. Conversely, 334 kJ of heat is released when 1 kg of water freezes at 0ºC to give 1 kg of ice at 0ºC." So in this case 0^oC is the atmospheric temp.?
