Usually it is called cold junction compensation. The purpose is to compensate for the thermocouple action at each junction of dissimilar metals.

Each connection of dissimilar metals adds another thermocouple to the circuit. The compensation corrects for those undesired thermocouples and allows the reading or calculation of the corrected reading depending upon how the compensation is done.

See this: http://www.maxim-ic.com/appnotes.cfm/an_pk/4026 for an expanded explanation of electronic compensation of thermocouple readings.
