Yang, K., and J. Zhang, 2017: Evaluation of reanalysis datasets against observational soil temperature data over China. Climate Dynamics: 1-21. doi:10.1007/s00382-017-3610-4

What they did?

  • They evaluated 4 reanalysis datasets, ERA-Interim/Land, MERRA-2, NCEP-CFSR, GLDAS-2.0, with a focus on 40 cm soil layer.

  • Spatial distribution of soil temperature in summer and winter.

  • Spatial distribution of linear trend in summer and winter.

  • Soil temperature memory in summer and winter.
