The air temperature is an essential variable in many applications related to Earth science. Sporadic spatial distribution of weather stations causes a low spatial resolution of measured air temperatures. This study focused on modeling the air diurnal temperature cycle (DTC) based on the land surface temperature (LST) DTC. The air DTC model parameters were estimated from LST DTC model parameters...

A 10-m air temperature (Ta) retrieval using Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit A (AMSU-A) and satellite-derived sea surface temperature (Ts) observations is presented. The multivariable linear regression retrieval uses AMSU-A brightness temperatures from the 52.8and 53.6-GHz channels and satellite-derived daily sea surface temperatures to determine Ta. A regression error of 0.838C using 841 match...

[1] We have analyzed the relationship between surface air temperature (SAT), ground surface temperature (GST), and snow cover (SNC) over the terrestrial Northern Hemisphere based on general circulation model (GCM) simulations using GISS modelE forced with the observed SST and radiative forcing changes from 1951–1998. While SAT is the dominant influence on GST during the warm-season, it explains...

     Temperature is considered as the basic element of climate and also the environmental limiting factor in LutDesert. In this research, in order to identify the temperature of Lut Desert located in east of central Iran, using remote sensing data, six series of MODIS sensor images related to June 24th & December 23rd 2002, and also January 22nd, March 22nd, June 22nd & September 24th 2003 were...

physical characteristics of different features in desert is a reflection of severe thermal and climatic conditions. in this paper, diurnal surface temperature patterns of important surface features in lut desert were studied and the relationship among different surfaces analyzed. diurnal trend in surface temperature of surface types, marl, dark sand, light sand, salt-affected soil, soul at 10 c...

This paper reports on two types of comparisons that were conducted. First, 10-yr modeled skin temperatures were compared with observations to evaluate model simulations of this quantity. The simulations were conducted with the NCAR CCM2 coupled with the Biosphere–Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS). The observations were obtained from TIROS-N/HIRS-2 and the First ISLSCP Field Experiment in situ m...

the objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. given the increasing demand for higher steel surface quality, more rapid production, and thinner steel plates, more attention has been directed toward the parameter of temperature in cold rolling as a means of achieving the above objectives...

This study investigated a mechanism for controlling the shape of Cu nanocrystals fabricated using the polyol process, which considers the thermodynamic transition from a faceted surface to a rough surface and the growth mechanisms of nanocrystals with faceted or rough surfaces. The faceted surfaces were stable at relatively low temperatures because of the low entropy of perfectly faceted surfac...

so far a number of works on the heat flux anomalies of the earth surface based on the satellite images and underground water as seismic precursors have been carried out. in this paper the soil temperature data at 1m depth (deep enough to filter temperature variation due to high frequency meteorological forcings) has been considered to see if there are connections between earthquakes in bam and ...
