Global surface temperature change analysis based on MODIS data in recent twelve years
Abstract
Global surface temperature change is one of the most important aspects in global climate change research. In this study, in order to overcome shortcomings of traditional observation methods in meteorology, a new method is proposed to calculate global mean surface temperature based on remote sensing data. We found that (1) the global mean surface temperature was close to 14.35°C from 2001 to 2012, and the warmest and coldest surface temperatures …
