Regional air temperature overwhelmingly determined daytime and nighttime variation in local air temperature (Table 1). Tree canopy was consistently negatively related to both local air temperature and LST during both night and day. However, turf was positively correlated with daytime local air temperature...
Annual resolution reconstructions of alpine temperatures are rare, particularly for the Southern Hemisphere, while no snow cover reconstructions exist. These records are essential to place in context the impact of anthropogenic global warming against his
