Difference between TS (surface temperature, radiative, CAM) and TG (ground temperature, CLM)?

Let me re-post and try my luck here.

I'd like to inquire about the difference between surface temperature (radiative) and ground temperature. The first one is variable TS from CAM while the second is TG from CLM. More specifically, I am currently using CESM1.2.2 with CAM4 and CAM5.

Many Thanks!

TS is the temperature calculated from the net radiative fluxes, i.e., solving for T in Stefan-Boltzmann.
