Near-Surface Air Temperature Retrieval Using a Deep Neural Network from Satellite Observations over South Korea

Air temperature (Ta), defined as the temperature 2 m above the land’s surface, is one of the most important factors for environment and climate studies. Ta can be measured by obtaining the land surface temperature (LST) which can be retrieved with the 11- and 12-µm bands from satellite imagery over...
