Daily mean temperatures, as a primary indicator reflecting climatic characteristics, play a decisive role in monitoring urban heat island effects and agroecological environments. However, daily mean temperatures measured at meteorological stations lack spatial representativeness in regional-scale models. By contrast, the inversion results of daily mean temperatures using remote sensing data can better accommodate the large-scale monitoring needs, but with insufficient accuracy and quality. This study presented several common estimation methods for daily mean temperatures using remote sensing data, including multiple linear regression, machine learning, and feature space-based extrapolation. Then, based on the principle and process for estimation of daily mean temperatures using remote sensing data, this study systematically analyzed the effects of uncertainties such as clouds and aerosols and offered corresponding solutions. Finally, this study predicted the development trend of such estimation methods. Additionally, this study posited that image fusion and multi-source data fusion at different transit times can significantly improve the estimation accuracy under cloud interference.
