Abstract: The increasing rate of the observed daily minimum temperature Tmin has been much higher than that of the observed daily maximum temperature Tmax during the past six decades across China. In this study, the local urbanization ...

Abstract: Land surface temperature Ts and near-surface air temperature Ta are two main metrics that reflect climate change. Recently, based on in situ observations, several studies found that Ts warmed much faster than Ta in China, ...

Abstract: AbstractDiurnal cycle of surface air temperature T is an important metric indicating the feedback of land?atmospheric interaction to global warming, whereas the ability of current reanalyses to reproduce its variation had ...

Abstract: AbstractWith urbanization occurring around weather stations, its impact on the observed air temperature has been widely recognized. However, its assessments were varied partially due to the poor understanding of its ...
