The spatial distribution of groundwater temperatures in the volcanic island of Tenerife, Canary Islands, has been inferred through measurements of water temperatures collected in the vast network of wells and subhorizontal tunnels, locally called �galleries,� which constitutes the main water...
- Evaluation of six parameterization approaches for the ground heat flux. Liebethal, C.; Foken, T. // Theoretical & Applied Climatology;2007, Vol. 88 Issue 1/2, p43
There are numerous approaches to the parameterization of the ground heat flux that use different input data, are valid for different times of the day, and deliver results of different quality. Six of these approaches are tested in this study: three approaches calculating the ground heat flux...
- How hot is hot? // New Scientist;7/30/2005, Vol. 187 Issue 2510, p13
Focuses on the problems related to the measurement of Earth's temperature. Fact that surface weather stations give only local snapshots, and the results are skewed by the scarcity of weather stations in the tropics and on the oceans; Inefficiency of satellites in low Earth orbit in capturing the...

Models and observations show that the Arctic is experiencing the most rapid changes in global near-surface air temperature. We developed novel EASE-grid Level 3 (L3) land surface temperature (LST) products from Level 2 (L2) AATSR and MODIS data to provide weekly, monthly and annual LST means...
