Geostatistical interpolation techniques provide such continuous and objective surfaces of climate variables, while the use of remote sensing data may improve the estimates, especially when temporal resolution is detailed enough. The main goal of this study is to propose an empirical methodology for improving the month-to-month Tair mapping (minimum and maximum) using satellite land surface temperatures (LST) besides of meteorological data and geographic information. The methodology consists on multiple regression analysis combined with the spatial interpolation of residual errors using the inverse distance weighting. A leave-one-out cross-validation procedure has been included in order to compare predicted with observed values. Different operational daytime and nighttime LST products corresponding to the four months more characteristic of the seasonal dynamics of a Mediterranean climate have been considered for a thirteen-year period. The results can be considered operational given the feasibility of the models employed (linear dependence on predictors that are nowadays easily available), the robustness of the leave-one-out cross-validation procedure and the improvement in accuracy achieved when compared to classical Tair modeling results. Unlike what is considered by most studies, it is shown that nighttime LST provides a good proxy not only for minimum Tair, but also for maximum Tair. The improvement achieved by the inclusion of remote sensing LST products was higher for minimum Tair (up to 0.35 K on December), especially over forests and rugged lands. Results are really encouraging, as there are generally few meteorological stations in zones with these characteristics, clearly showing the usefulness of remote sensing to improve information about areas that are difficult to access or simply with a poor availability of conventional meteorological data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9121313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,14]],"date-time":"2017-12-14T12:35:45Z","timestamp":1513254945000},"page":"1313","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Improving Mean Minimum and Maximum Month-to-Month Air Temperature Surfaces Using Satellite-Derived Land Surface Temperature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9303-8301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Mira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GRUMETS Research Group, Department of Geography, Edifici B, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1101-0453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miquel","family":"Ninyerola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRUMETS Research Group, Department of Animal Biology, Plant Biology and Ecology, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Meritxell","family":"Batalla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRUMETS Research Group, CREAF, Edifici C, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7396-2468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Llu\u00eds","family":"Pesquer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRUMETS Research Group, CREAF, Edifici C, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6924-1641","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xavier","family":"Pons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GRUMETS Research Group, Department of Geography, Edifici B, Universitat Aut\u00f2noma de Barcelona, 08193 Bellaterra, Catalonia, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wylie, R.G., and Lalas, T.
