Radiometric studies of the heat island
Abstract
The influence of the 'heat island' in the atmospheric transmittance and in the contrast of thermal images was studied. The transmittance and contrast were calculated for a real atmospheric and for an atmosphere with a simulated heat island. As a result of these calculation, it was possible to verify that the influence of the heat island in the transmittance and in the contrast were analogous.
