Comparison of MODIS-derived land surface temperatures with ground surface and air temperature measurements in continuous permafrost terrain
Obtaining high resolution records of surface temperature from satellite sensors is important in the Arctic because meteorological stations are scarce and widely scattered in those vast and remote regions. Surface temperature is the primary climatic factor that governs the existence, spatial distribu...
