Using surface skin temperature from satellites to estimate daily air temperature everywhere. EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) will give publicly available daily estimates of surface air temperature since 1850 across the globe for the first time by combining surface and satellite data using novel statistical techniques. Why EUSTACE? Day-to-day variations in surface air temperature affect society in many ways: Health and...
