Comparison of MODIS land surface temperature and ground-based observed air temperature in complex topography
Original language description
Near-ground air temperature (Ta) and land surface temperature (Ts) are important parameters in studies related to variations in hydrology, biodiversity and climate change. However, complicated mountainous terrain tends to hinder observations in such areas. The scarce observations from mountainous areas can be augmented with data from a 1 km high spatial resolution data set. This data set is obtained from the land surface temperature element of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments installed on the Aqua and Terra Earth observation satellites from NASA. This study used regional monthly mean Ta data for Taiwan as a reference to assess the monthly mean Ts data set. The results showed that the two sets of data had correlationcoefficients of 0.91?0.96, and the standard deviations of the differences between the two sets were 1.25?1.77. These results could serve as a reference for research related to climate and ecology.
