- Title
Simulation of land surface temperatures: comparison of two climate models and satellite retrievals.
- Authors
Edwards, J. M.
- Abstract
The article discusses the progress in retrieving land surface temperature from satellite observations. It states that satellite retrievals of surface temperature offer advantages that include broad spatial coverage and the data are of great value to assess general circulation models of the atmosphere. It notes that retrievals of land surface temperature are compared with simulations from two climate models which found that the models show significant warm biases during the summer.
