Abstract :
Anthropogenic influence on climate modification is currently apparent more than ever, and this is comprehensible from the measurements of various climate variables such as the Earth`s surface temperature. The investigation of climate variables is a challenging task as no one technique can reliably produce the essential data at both fine and broad scales. Accurate observations of surface temperature are traditionally available from functional ground-based weather stations. Unfortunately, this network of stations is not dense enough in terms of spatial extent for a detailed spatial assessment of the temperature field. However, the application of the satellite-based observation method makes it possible for multi-scale and instantaneous observations with a consistent temporal revisit concerning the Earth`s processes. Therefore, this review is primarily focused on monitoring climate change using surface temperature data from satellite remote sensing. Recent papers that were published in the English language between 2013 and 2022 were accessed and used for the review. The research specifically emphasized the global temperature trend, and Earth’s surface temperature observation including Land Surface Temperature, and Sea Surface Temperature. Summarily, it was shown that the satellite-based temperature time-series data is important for studying the climate system. Also, the current Earth Observation System and many proposed satellite systems will enhance assessment regarding the Essential Climate Variables. Thus, satellite remote sensing is a potent tool for comprehending the Earth`s surface temperature and climate change.
