| Popis: | The middle infrared (MIR) spectral region, between 3.0 and 5.0 µm in the electromagnetic spectrum, features a myriad of atmospheric windows. The favourable atmospheric penetration of electromagnetic radiation at MIR wavelengths has been readily noted. To exploit this atmospheric window, there have been several remote sensing instruments acquiring radiation from the terrestrial environment. However, these data remain under-utilized for terrestrial environmental studies. The principal reason for this is the hybrid nature of this spectral region, as it comprises a combination of both reflected and emitted radiation during daytime measurement. Despite this, there are many attributes of the MIR spectral region that should encourage its use. Studies focusing on a wide range of terrestrial environment characteristics using MIR radiation have advocated that these data be used. Moreover, there has been a progressive maturation of the methods for processing the radiation acquired by instruments in the MIR spectral ... |
