Overview of causes for inter-site temperature differences
1. Advection of warm/cold air related to local soil type/groundwater level differences
2. Local stability differences (especially for W < 1.0 m/s)
3. Screen ventilation differences (radiation error)
4. Sky-view factor/horizon differences
5. Radiation by surrounding objects
6. Instrumental errors
