  • Compares land surface temperature (LST) measurements made from multiple platforms
  • Assesses temporal and spatial variability of LST
  • Finds that tower-based LST agreed better with aircraft-based LST than Satellite LST
  • Finds that MODIS LST was better correlated with the tower based LST than the air temperature
