This blog series by Professor Kevin Czajkowski of the University of Toledo, Toledo Ohio, USA, provides updates on the 2007 and 2008 Surface Temperature Field Campaigns. These campaigns ran/will run during 26 November - 21 December 2007 and 1 - 19 December 2008.

The focus of these field campaigns is on snow and its affects on the surface temperature and is linked to International Polar Year (IPY). To participate in the project, schools are taking surface temperature observations from two sites around the school, one in a large field and the other in a nearby parking lot.
