Estimation of All-Sky Gridded Diurnal Near-Surface Air Temperatures at Regional Scale From FY-4B Measurements by Ronghan Xu, Xin Wang, Yonghong Hu, Lin Chen, Suling Ren, Guangzhen Cao, Di Xian, Eston Ranson Mogha

“…The near-surface air temperature (<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${{T}_{air}}$</tex-math></inline-formula>) is a principal variable describing energy exchange and water circulation between the land surface and the atmospheric environment. The estimation of <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${{T}_{air}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> by satellite land surface temperature (LST) is challenging due to the variable magnitude of the difference between <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${{T}_{air}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> and LST in both space and time, as well as the restriction of estimated <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${{T}_{air}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> to clear-sky conditions because of the penetration of infrared wavelengths. …”
