ABSTRACT:
A method for airborne surveying is disclosed to acquire, process and calculate the apparent thermal inertia of earth surface materials during flight and by post-flight processing. Two separate airborne surveys are conducted during a diurnal solar cycle to determine the maximum and the minimum radiant temperatures of the earth surface materials. The albedo of the earth material is determined and is used to calculate the apparent thermal inertia of the earth surface materials. Spatial rectification of the two surveys is accomplished by use of differential global positioning.
