Global Land Surface Temperature Change (2003–2017) and Its Relationship with Climate Drivers: AIRS, MODIS, and ERA5-Land Based Analysis
Land surface temperature (LST) plays a critical role in the water cycle and energy balance at global and regional scales.Large-scale LST estimates can be obtained from satellite observations and reanalysis data.In this study, we first investigate the long-term changes of LST during 2003–2017 on a per-pixel basis using three different datasets der
