Surface temperature information


Surface temperature is the temperature at a surface.

Specifically, it may refer to:

  • Near-surface air temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the Earth
  • Sea surface temperature, the temperature of water close to the ocean's surface
  • Global surface temperature, the combined global average of near-surface air temperature and sea surface temperature
  • Surface temperature of a star, often the effective temperature
