Near-surface air temperature (SAT) over Greenland has important effects on mass balance of the ice sheet, but it is unclear which SAT datasets are reliable in the region. Here extensive in situ SAT measurements ( ∼ 1400 station-years) are used to assess monthly mean SAT from seven global reanalysis...
