EarthTemp is a network to stimulate new international collaboration in measuring and understanding the surface temperatures of Earth. http://earthtemp.net/annual-themes/theme-4-urban-temperatures-2015/10-themes 2018-12-26T01:50:08+00:00 EarthTemp Network Joomla! - Open Source Content Management 2015-01-18T11:59:49+00:00 2015-01-18T11:59:49+00:00 http://earthtemp.net/annual-themes Stephan Matthiesen

<p>The network is organised around three themes over three years, with a possible (yet unfunded) extension to five years:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://earthtemp.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=8&amp;catid=11&amp;Itemid=109">Year 1 (2012/13): Taking the temperature of the Earth: Temperature Variability and Change across all Domains of Earth's Surface</a></li> <li><a href="http://earthtemp.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=9&amp;catid=12&amp;Itemid=110">Year 2 (2013/14): Characterising surface temperatures in data-sparse and extreme regions (with focus on high-latitude domains)</a></li> <li><a href="http://earthtemp.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=7&amp;catid=13&amp;Itemid=108">Year 3 (2014/15): Delivering and exploiting surface temperature observations in key land regions, with a focus on Africa</a></li> <li><a href="http://earthtemp.net/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=14&amp;catid=14&amp;Itemid=114">Year 4 (2015/16): Temperatures in urban areas</a></li> <li><em>Year 5 (2016): Coastal zones (TBC)<br /></em></li> </ul> <p>The first theme is an inclusive question, designed to bring together research communities and develop a full picture of common research needs and aspirations. The second theme is a pressing research question to which the network will co-ordinate a useful and unique contribution. The third theme is one of long-term interest and importance in the strengthening of the observational foundations for climate change monitoring and diagnosis.</p>
