β¦ Synopsis
In 1992 Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) ferent lines on the same day. However, there are differdata were acquired from the NASA C-130 aircraft over ences when the same area is seen on the two days espethe Sahelian region of West Africa as part of the Hydrocially for the low emissivity values. Some of these logical and Atmospheric Pilot Experiment in the Sahel differences may be due to soil moisture differences of 2-(HAPEX). TIMS measures the radiation from the surface 3%, which were observed for the two days. The observed modified by the atmosphere in six channels located besurface temperatures were in good agreement with other tween 8 mm and 12.5 lm in the thermal infrared. By measures, for example, vegetation temperatures agreed using a variety of techniques it is possible to extract both well with the measured air temperatures. Published by the surface temperature and surface emissivity from the Elsevier Science Inc. areas over which TIMS data were acquired. One such technique was tested with the data acquired during this experiment. Several TIMS images of both the east and

The AHS (airborne hyperspectral scanner) instrument has 80 spectral bands covering the visible and near infrared (VNIR), short wave infrared (SWIR), mid-infrared (MIR), and thermal infrared (TIR) spectral range. The instrument is operated by Instituto Nacional de TΓ©cnica Aerospacial (INTA) and it ha
