Surface emissivity is a measure of inherent efficiency of land surface. It is applied to convert heat energy into radiant energy. In this study, an unmixing pixel based algorithm was proposed to compute pixel effective emissivity for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data within Beijing, China. In this paper, vegetation, together with water and 3 kinds of ma...

This paper presents modifications to the linear kernel bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) models from Roujean et al. and from Wanner et al. that extend the spectral range into the thermal infrared (TIR). Our application is to synthesize the TIR optical properties of a scene pixel from laboratory component measurements. The angular reflectance and emissivity are needed to con...

We measured emissivity of sample presenting panel of ALMA antenna using Band-10 heterodyne SIS receiver as antenna switching balanced radiometer with 8 GHz instantaneous bandwidth. Receiver noise temperature measured with 80 K/300 K antenna loads was ≈560 K (DSB). Emissivity of the surface is detected at LO frequency about 840 GHz via the imbalance of the antenna switch due to extra reflection ...

The relationship between emissivity, delay time, and surface growth for metastable solidification of CoSi-62 at. % eutectic alloys is reported from undercooling experiments conducted using electrostatic levitation. A fraction of the undercooled melt is first solidified to CoSi2 with subsequent nucleation in the mushy-zone of CoSi after an observed delay time. During this double recalescence eve...

Semi-opaque to opaque films containing small amounts of various aluminium particles to decrease emissivity were easily prepared and coated onto low-density polyethylene (LDPE) sheets. The thermal-radiative properties (reflectivity, transmissivity and absorptivity) of the films were measured and related to the aluminum particles' content, size and nature. Time-to-ignition of samples was assessed...

The epoch of the end of reionization and the Thomson optical depth to the cosmic microwave background depend on the power spectrum amplitude on small scales and on the ionizing photon emissivity per unit mass in collapsed halos. In this paper is investigated the role of the radiative feedback effects for the temporal evolution of the ionizing emissivity. It is shown that the observational const...

This study presents a method to estimate land surface temperature (LST) by calibrating spatial interpolation using satellite-derived surface emissivity. Four spatial interpolation methods including Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Spline, Kriging, and Cokriging were tested to interpolate LST in southern New England using ground temperatures measured at national weather stations (NWS) in summer...

Ceramic coatings with high emissivity were fabricated on TC4 alloys by micro-arc oxidation technique (MAO) in mixed silicate and phosphate electrolytes with varying KMnO₄ addition. The microstructure, phase and chemical composition were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the infrared emissivity of the MAO...

This contribution regards the Radio Frequency (RF) transmission line of the Megavolt ITER Injector and Concept Advancement (MITICA) experiment. The original design considered copper coaxial lines of 1″ 5/8, but thermal simulations under operating conditions showed maximum temperatures of the lines at regime not compatible with the prescription of the component manufacturer. Hence, an optimizati...
