A simple technique for estimating surface temperature by means of a thermal infrared radiometer
Abstract
A very simple procedure is reported which can be used by agronomists, meteorologists, climatologists, geologists, geographers, etc., to evaluate surface temperatures from data supplied by a thermal infrared radiometer. Tests show that the error involved is less than a tenth of a degree.
