Measuring the surface temperature and emissivity of the Earth and how these parameters respond to natural and human-induced changes at the local, regional and global scale

The National Academy of Sciences Decadal Survey (2007) placed “critical priority” on a:
• “Mission to observe surface composition and thermal properties: Changes in mineralogical composition affect the optical reflectance spectrum of the surface, providing information on the distribution of geologic materials and also the condition and types of vegetation on the surface. Gases from within the Earth, such as CO2 or SO2, are sensitive indicators of impending volcanic hazards, and plume ejecta themselves pose risk to aircraft and to those downwind. These gases also have distinctive spectra in the optical and near IR regions.”
• “A multispectral imager similar to ASTER is required in the thermal infrared region. For the thermal channels (5 bands in the 8-12 μm region), the requirements for volcano eruption prediction are high thermal sensitivity, on the order of 0.2 K, and a pixel size of less than 90 m. An opto-mechanical scanner, as opposed to a pushbroom scanner, would provide a wide swath of as much as 400 km at the required sensitivity and pixel size..”
Scientific and Societal Context

• Q1. Volcanoes– What are the changes in the behavior of active volcanoes? Can we quantify the amount of material released into the atmosphere by volcanoes and estimate its
impact on Earth's climate? How can we help predict and mitigate volcanic hazards?
• Q2. Wildfires – What is the impact of global biomass burning on the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere, and how is this impact changing over time?
• Q3. Water Use and Availability– As global freshwater supplies become increasingly limited, how can we better characterize trends in local and regional water use and moisture availability to help
conserve this critical resource?
• Q4. Urbanization– How does urbanization affect the local, regional and global environment? Can we characterize this effect to help mitigate its impact on human health and welfare?
• Q5. Land surface composition and change– What is the composition and temperature of the exposed surface of the Earth? How do these factors change over time and affect land use and habitability?

Q2. Wildfires:
• How are global fire regimes (fire location, type, frequency, and intensity) changing in response to changing climate and land use practices?
• Are regions becoming more fire prone?
• What is the role of fire in global biogeochemical cycling, particularly atmospheric composition?
• Are there regional feedbacks between fire and climate change?

MODIS pixels superimposed
(black squares)
High resolution thermal instrument can distinguish between the forest and non-forest parts of the flaming front allowing the fire type, intensity, etc., to be determined which indicates fire regime.
White squares show fire pixels detected by MODIS. Insufficient information to detect fire type
MIR band provides radiant flux to estimate rate at which biomass combusted and instantaneous emission estimate

Q3. Water Use and Availability:
• How can we improve spatial information about evapotranspiration (water loss to the atmosphere) to facilitate better management of our Earth’s freshwater resources?
• How can we obtain better information about vegetation water stress conditions at spatiotemporal scales that are beneficial for global drought early detection, mitigation, and impact assessment efforts?
• What is the current global irrigated acreage, how is it changing with time, and are these changes in a sustainable balance with regional water availability?
• Can remote sensing-based technologies improve irrigation efficiency in water-scarce agricultural regions

Higher rates of evapotranspiration (ET) lead to lower temperatures along the San Pedro River.
Estimates of consumptive water use by riparian vegetation is important for river water management decisions and for negotiation and regulation of interstate water contracts
