[gradsusr] A question about reanalysis outputs and remote sensing data sets

[hersala]

Dear GrADS users:

I know that this forum is only dedicated to GrADS questions but, at the
same time it is a forum where there are model developers and so on. So,
please let me ask just a question:

If one would like to estimate near-surface temperatures where no data from
weather stations exist, what do you think it would be better: trying to
estimate it from a single (or justa a few) remote sensing dataset or simply
using outputs from reanalysis models. I'm wondering this, because it is
known that reanalysis data already includes remote sensed data (and another
sources of information). And if this is the case, IMHO, it should be better
to directly use reanalysis outputs.

Thanks in advance.

Hernán
