Surface temperature

Surface temperature is the temperature at a surface.

Specifically, it may refer to:

• Near-surface air temperature, the temperature of the air near the surface of the Earth
• Sea surface temperature, the temperature of water close to the ocean's surface
• Global surface temperature, the combined global average of near-surface air temperature and sea surface temperature
• Surface temperature of a star, often the effective temperature

• Instrumental temperature record, the historical record of in situ measurements of surface air and sea temperatures
• Pyrometer, a device that remotely determines the temperature of a surface
  • Infrared thermometer, a type of pyrometer
