However, knowledge of factors affecting the component temperatures and about their potential for upscaling LST over sparsely vegetated surfaces with high heterogeneity is still lacking. Here, a MU lti- S cale O bservation E xperiment on land S urface temperature (MUSOES) was performed under HiWATER over an arid sparsely vegetated surface. Component temperatures were obtained with different instruments on multiple spatial scales; for LST upscaling, a three-dimensional scene model was employed for two forest stations (MFS and PFS) and a two-dimensional model for a shrub station (SUP). Results show that intrinsic characteristics contribute to the temperature variability between different components and even within a single component. Using a thermal infrared (TIR) imager at MFS, average temperature differenc... %@ 0168-1923 %W CNKI
