Google Earth Engine (GEE) spatial downscaling of 2-meter air temperature using random forest
Numerous environmental and meteorological research depend heavily on the air temperature at two meters, commonly known as the near-surface air temperature. The 2-meter level is the emphasis because it provides a practical measurement of the temperature that people would typically experience in their daily lives and is roughly the average height of a human.
When researching phenomena like the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, where urban areas frequently become warmer than their rural surrounds due to habitation and built environments, this temperature is especially important. Knowing the 2-meter air temperature can help us evaluate how UHI affects people.
