- Title
Comparison of MODIS-derived land surface temperatures with ground surface and air temperature measurements in continuous permafrost terrain.

- Abstract
The article presents a study which compares the land surface temperatures (LST) values from MODIS to ground-based near-surface air and ground surface temperature (GST) measurements at herbaceous sites in permafrost zone including Northern Québec, Nunavik and Canada. It reveals that LSTs are in stronger agreement with round-based near-surface air during the snow cover season than in the snow free season. The potential of MODIS LSTs for monitoring surface temperature changes is offered.
