This study introduces a pyrometric algorithm to measure temperature without knowing spectral emissivity. The method is optimized for accurate temperature variation retrieval, crucial for Martian ground heat-flux studies.

Area of Science:

  • Planetary Science
  • Thermodynamics
  • Remote Sensing

Background:

  • Accurate surface temperature measurement is vital for understanding planetary environments.
  • Previous methods often require prior knowledge of spectral emissivity, limiting their application.
  • Martian ground exploration necessitates robust temperature monitoring under varying conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a simple pyrometric algorithm for temperature retrieval from radiating bodies.
  • To enable temperature measurements without prior knowledge of spectral emissivity.
  • To optimize the method for accurate temperature variation detection on Mars.

Main Methods:

  • A novel pyrometric algorithm is proposed.
  • It involves ratioing measured radiative fluxes at two different temperatures in two narrow spectral bands.
