2. Satellite temperature measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_temperature...

   Infrared radiation can be used to measure both the temperature of the surface (using "window" wavelengths to which the atmosphere is transparent), and the temperature of the atmosphere (using wavelengths for which the atmosphere is not transparent, or measuring cloud top temperatures in infrared windows).

3. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Spaceborne...

   ASTER provides high-resolution images of Earth in 14 different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from visible to thermal infrared light. The resolution of images ranges between 15 and 90 meters. ASTER data is used to create detailed maps of surface temperature of land, emissivity, reflectance, and elevation. [1]

4. Infrared thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_thermometer

   The most common infrared thermometer is the spot infrared pyrometer or infrared pyrometer, which measures the temperature at a spot on a surface (actually a relatively small area determined by the D:S ratio). These usually project a visible red dot onto the center of the area being measured that identifies the spot being measured, but plays no ...

   The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a sensor designed and manufactured by the Raytheon Company on board the polar-orbiting Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP), NOAA-20, and NOAA-21 weather satellites. [1] VIIRS is one of five key instruments onboard Suomi NPP, launched on October 28, 2011. [2]

6. Advanced microwave sounding unit - Wikipedia

   Thermal Infrared Image by Mars Odyssey's thermal emission imaging system of Mars. Thermal remote sensing is a branch of remote sensing in the thermal infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. [1] Thermal radiation from ground objects is measured using a thermal band in satellite sensors. [2]
