Wavelength (μm)
THERMAL INFRARED RADIATION is a form of electromagnetic radiationwith a wavelength between 3 to 14 micrometers (µm). Its flux is much lower than visible flux.

RADIANT POWER: The rate of flow of electromagnetic energy, i.e., radiant energy, Φ (watts, i.e., joules per second.)
RADIANT EMITTANCE: Radiant power emitted into a full sphere, i.e., 4 sr (steradians), by a unit area of a source, expressed in watts per square meter. Synonym radiant exitance, flux, radiantflux. M or E (watts/m2)
RADIANCE: Radiant power, in a given direction, per unit solid angle per unit of projected area of the source, as viewed from the given direction. Note: Radiance is usually expressed in watts per steradian per square meter. L (watts/m2.sr) = M/π
IRRADIANCE: Radiant power incident per unit area upon a surface. Note: Irradiance is usually expressed in watts per square meter, but may also be expressed in joules per square meter. Synonym: power density, flux, radiant flux. R (watts/m2).

The theory to express the thermal emission is based on the black body concept: a black body is an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation at each wavelength that falls onto it. A black body however emits radiation as well, its magnitude depends on its temperature, and is expressed by the Planck’s Law:

Thermodynamic (kinetic) temperature
• Thermodynamic (kinetic) temperature (T) is a macroscopic measure to quantify the thermal dynamic state of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment (no heat transfer) and can be measured with a infinitesimal thermometer in good contact with it.
• By maximizing the total entropy (S) with respect to the energy (E) of the system, T is defined as
TdEdS 1
=
• which is consistent with the definition of the absolute temperature by the ideal gas law
RTPV =
• where is P is pressure, V volume, R the gas constant (R=kN0, k is Boltzmann constant, N0 number of molecules in a mole).
Monday 3 Sept 2007 Lecture D1Lb3 Surface Energy Balance Basics Z. (Bob) Su 11
Brightness temperature
• Brightness temperature (Tb,i) is a directional temperature obtained by equating the measured radiance (Rb,i) with the integral over wavelength of the Planck’s black body function multiplied by the sensor response fi.

α’λ = A’λ / Iλ < 1
ρ’λ = R’λ / Iλ > 0
α’λ +ρ’λ =1
As the body is in thermal equilibrium: A’λ = M’λ = α’λ Iλ
M’λ / α’λ = Iλ = Mλ GREY BODY
M’λ = ελ. Mλ = ελ. M’λ / α’λ ελ = α’λ ελ = 1 - ρ’λ
By appying the Kirchhoff law (energy conservation) to a black body and a real (grey) body, theemissivity is defined - The emittance of a real body is always lower than that of the black body at the same temperature. In order to measure its temperature using a radiometer, we need to introduce a factor called “emissivity”, ε < 1, to equate its emittence to that of the block body.

Split-window equations to derive land surface temperature
• Substituting both atmospheric radiances in the radiative transfer equation, an algorithm involving temperatures can be obtained using a first-order Taylor series expansion of the Planck’s law and writing the equation for i and j (i and j being two different channels observed at the same angle, Split-Window method):
Ts = Ti+A(Ti-Tj)-B0+(1-εi)B1-Δεθ B2
where A and Bi are coefficients that depend on atmospheric transmittances, εi is the mean value of the emissivities of channels i and j, Δεθ is the spectral variation, Ti and Tj are the brightness temperatures for two different channels with the same view angle.
This equation is the so-called split-window equation and gives a separation between the atmospheric and emissivity effects in the retrieval of surface temperature.

Thresholds Method (NDVITHM)
• A simplified method based on the estimation of emissivity, ε, using atmospherically corrected data in the visible and near infrared channels (Sobrino and Raissouni, 2000), which considers three different type of pixels depending on the NDVI value: bare soil pixels (NDVI<0.2), mixed pixels (0.2<NDVI<0.5) and fully vegetation pixels (NDVI>0.5). The NDVITHM have been applied for NOAA channels 4 and 5 (Sobrino et al., 2001) and for MODIS channels (Sobrino et al., 2003).
• This method is also applied to AATSR thermal channels using the Salisbury's spectra (Salisbury and D’Aria, 1992) and the AATSR response functions to obtain the appropriate expressions to estimate absolute emissivity. The NDVI value have been calculated with the well-known equation that uses reflectivity values from the Red region (ρred) and Near Infrared (ρnir) region, according to:
• AATSR channels centred in 0.67 μm and 0.87 μm have been used for ρred and ρnirrespectively.

Thresholds Method (NDVITHM)
• The final expressions obtained for this method are for bare soil pixels (NDVI < 0.2),• ε = 0.9825 -0.051 ρred• Δε = -0.0001 -0.041 ρred
• for mixed pixels (0.2 NDVI 0.5),• ε = 0.971 + 0.018 Pv• Δε = 0.006 (1 - Pv )
• and for vegetation pixels (NDVI > 0.5),•• ε = 0.990
• with Pv being the vegetation proportion, given by
• where NDVImin=0.2 and NDVImax=0.5. The main constraint of this method is that it can not be used to extract water emissivity values because it is not possible to apply the NDVI and Pv equations for water pixels.
