T2m

T2m refers to the 2-meter temperature, a meteorological variable representing the air temperature at a height of 2 meters above the ground surface. This is a standard reference level used in meteorology and climatology to measure and report air temperature. The value of T2m is influenced by factors such as solar radiation, surface type (e.g., land, water, vegetation), atmospheric pressure, and wind. It is a crucial parameter for understanding weather patterns, climate change, and for various applications including agriculture, hydrology, and energy forecasting. Global climate models and weather prediction models commonly output T2m as a key variable. Variations in T2m can indicate heatwaves, cold snaps, and the overall thermal conditions of a region. Its measurement is typically done using thermometers or other temperature sensors placed at the specified height.
