ABSTRACT: Variations of soil and air temperature in the lower atmosphere directly affect Earth processes such as soil activities, biological activities, climate change and the mean temperature of the Earth with respect to Global warming. While the air temperature of a given region can be easily measured on any scale, the processes and technicality required in the measurements and data acquisition of soil temperature on a large scale is cumbersome leading to scarcity in soil temperature data. The daily mean values of air and soil temperature for each month was plotted on a scatter plot and the coefficient of correlation was computed. A regression analysis was then used to establish a relationship between......
