GC51D:
Taking the Temperature of the Earth: Challenges, Trends, and Applications across all Earth Surface Domains I Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 12828

Session Description:
Surface temperature (ST) is a critical variable for studying the energy and water balances of the Earth surface, and monitoring the effects of climate change, and there is an urgent need for better understanding of in situ measurements and satellite observations to quantify ST as it changes from day to day, month to month. The EarthTemp network was established in 2012 to stimulate new international collaboration in measuring and better understanding ST across different domains of the Earth’s surface: air, land, sea, lakes, ice. This EarthTemp session is focused on 1) progress in improving the quality of ST products, 2) assessing variability and long-term trends, and 3) applications of ST data to detect and better understand Earth system behavior.
