Abstract
Ground surface temperatures play a large role in determining surface energy fluxes by way of their effects on sensible, latent, and radiative energy transfer. It is therefore necessary to estimate surface temperatures when studying atmospheric processes, such as mesoscale circulations, that depend heavily on surface fluxes. Short-range forecasts and climatological analyses can be particularly reliant on surface temperature estimation.
