Pinnatemperatuuri

Pinnatemperatuuri refers to the temperature of a surface. This can be the surface of the Earth, an object, or any other material exposed to its surroundings. Unlike air temperature, which is measured at a standard height above the ground, surface temperature is the actual thermal condition of the uppermost layer of a material. Factors influencing pinnatemperatuuri include solar radiation, albedo (how much light is reflected), thermal inertia, heat transfer from within the object, and atmospheric conditions like wind and humidity.

For example, on a sunny day, a dark asphalt road will have a significantly higher pinnatemperatuuri than a light-colored concrete sidewalk due to differences in albedo and absorption of solar energy. Similarly, water bodies have their own pinnatemperatuuri, which can differ from the air temperature and affect local weather patterns. Satellite imagery often utilizes thermal infrared sensors to measure pinnatemperatuuri over large areas, providing valuable data for applications such as weather forecasting, climate monitoring, and agricultural management. Understanding pinnatemperatuuri is crucial in various scientific and engineering fields.
