Description

This thermal visualization is based on band ThermalInfrared1. At the central wavelength of 10895 nm it measures in the thermal infrared, or TIR. Instead of measuring the temperature of the air, like weather stations do, band ThermalInfrared1 reports on the ground itself, which is often much hotter.
