Abstract
This dataset consists of gloabl surface air temperature estimates derived from satellite surface skin temperature measurements, with uncertainties provided. It has been compiled as part of the European Union Horizon 2020 EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) project.
The global surface air temperatures are provided separately for areas over land, sea and ice. These surface air temperatures have been derived from satellite skin temperatures using relationships between air and skin temperatures for each surface derived as part of the EUSTACE project. The air temperatures and uncertainty information are presented in a consistent format.

| Title | Derivation of the EUSTACE globally gridded clear-sky daily air temperature estimates from satellites with uncertainty estimates for land, ocean and ice, 1995-2016 |
| Abstract | Surface air temperature estimates have been calculated from satellite-derived surface skin temperature measurements within the EUSTACE project. Research was done to investigate the relationship between these air and skin temperatures based on temporally and spatially collocated observations, and empirical relationships have been derived. These have then been applied to the satellite skin temperatures used in the EUSTACE project to estimate surface air temperatures. The relationships have been derived separately for the land, ice and ocean regions, and are described further in the EUSTACE Scientific and Product User Guides. |
