MODIS -Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer UCSB Emissivity Library – (an updated link)

February 3, 2011

The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) UCSB Emissivity Library is a collection of Emissivity measurements of natural and man made materials that may be used as a source of spectral emissivities at the component level in the TIR BRDF models to calculate the scene emissivities in the split-window channels to be used in the LST [...]

Portable Fourier transform infrared spectroradiometer for field measurements of radiance & emissivity

February 24, 2009

By Andrew R. Korb, Peter Dybwad, Winthrop Wadsworth, and John W. Salisbury ABSTRACT A hand-held, battery-powered Fourier transform infrared spectroradiometer weighing 12.5 kg has been developed for the field measurement of spectral radiance from the Earth’s surface and atmosphere in the 3–5-µm and 8–14-µm atmospheric windows, with a 6-cm21 spectral resolution. Other versions of this [...]

Global Infrared Land Surface Emissivity:

February 12, 2009

UW-Madison Baseline Fit Emissivity Database From the University of Wisconsin CIMSS data section: http://cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/iremis/ This global database of infrared land surface emissivity is derived using input from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) operational land surface emissivity product (MOD11). The baseline fit method (Seemann et al., 2007), based on a conceptual model developed from laboratory [...]

Wikipedia on Emissivity

November 17, 2008

Wikipedia has an entry for emissivity that is very brief and limited as of November 2008. Perhaps some visitors will improve it. Will check periodically and let you know. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissivity
