Estimating the Surface Air Temperature by Remote Sensing in Northwest China Using an Improved Advection-Energy Balance for Air Temperature Model

Table 2

Air temperatures measured by meteorological stations and retrieved by the IADEBAT and the ADEBAT models from three different land use types on June 24th, 2012.

Land use	Observations	IADEBAT (K)		ADEBAT (K)
		Estimations		Estimations
Village	299.7	302.0	2.3	302.3	2.6
Maize	298.5	298.5	0	297.0	−1.5
Orchard	298.9	299.8	0.8	300.0	1.1

Note: means air temperature is estimated by the model; means air temperature is observed by meteorological stations.
