Toward a Combined Surface Temperature Data Set for the Arctic From the Along-Track Scanning Radiometers
Surface temperature data sets for, or including, the Arctic have been derived from various thermal infrared sensors. However, a combined, all surface temperature data set for the Arctic has not been generated previously. Here we present the first combined land, ocean, and ice surface temperature dat...
