Wavelength (m)
THERMAL INFRARED RADIATION is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength between 3 to 14 micrometers (µm). Its flux is much lower than visible flux.

RADIANT POWER: The rate of flow of electromagnetic energy, i.e., radiant energy, (watts, i.e., joules per second.)
RADIANT EMITTANCE: Radiant power emitted into a full sphere, i.e., 4π (steradians), by a unit area of a source, expressed in watts per square meter. Synonym radiant exitance, flux, radiant flux, E (W m-2)
RADIANCE: Radiant power, in a given direction, per unit solid angle per unit of projected area of the source, as viewed from the given direction. Note: Radiance is usually expressed in watts per steradian per square meter, L (W m-2.sr-1) = M/
IRRADIANCE: Radiant power incident per unit area upon a surface. Note: Irradiance is usually expressed in watts per square meter, but may also be expressed in joules per square meter. Synonym: power density, flux, radiant flux, M (watts/m2).

All these magnitudes are usually expressed as spectral magnitudes, that is to say, referred to a wavelength
RADIANT POWER: P (W.m-1) or (W.cm-1)
RADIANT EMITTANCE: E (W.m-2.m-1) or (W.cm-1m-2)

IRRADIANCE: M (W.m-2. m-1) or (W.cm-1m-2).
Spectral magnitudes
Source: J.-L. CasanovaWavenumber (cm-1) = number of wavelengths per cm = 10,000/ (m) i.e. (m) = 10,000/ wavenumer (cm-1)e.g. 1 m ~ 10,000 cm-1; 10 m ~ 1,000 cm-1…
c1 = 1.19104·108 W µm4 m-2 sr-1
c2 = 1.43877·104 µm K, are the first radiation constant (for spectral radiance) and second radiation constant, respectively, B (λ, Ts) is given in W m-2 sr-1 μm-1 if λ the wavelength is given in µm.
The theory to express the thermal emission is based on the black body concept: a black body is an object that absorbs all electromagnetic radiation at each wavelength that falls onto it. A black body however emits radiation as well, its magnitude depends on its temperature, and is expressed by the Planck’s Law:

Thermodynamic (kinetic) temperature (T) is a macroscopic measure to quantify the thermal dynamic state of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment (no heat transfer) and can be measured with a infinitesimal thermometer in good contact with it.By maximizing the total entropy (S) with respect to the energy (E) of the system, T is defined as

Land surface temperature derived by using a theoretical split‐window algorithm

Surface temperature
The at-sensor radiance for a given wavelength (λ) s:
where
– ελθ is the surface emissivity,
– Bθ(λ, Ts) is the radiance emitted by a blackbody at temperature Ts of the surface,
is the downwelling radiance,
– λθ is the total transmission of the atmosphere (transmittance) and
is the upwelling atmospheric radiance. All these magnitudes also depend on the observation angle θ.

According to Sobrino et al. (1996), the upwelling and downwelling atmospheric radiance can be substituted, respectively, by:
)()1( aiiatm TBL
)()1( 53 aiiatm TBL
where Ta is the effective mean atmospheric temperature andi53 is the total atmospheric path transmittance at 53 degrees.
Substituting both atmospheric radiances in the radiative transfer equation, an algorithm involving temperatures can be obtained using a first‐order Taylor series expansion of the Planck’s law and writing the equation for i and j (i and j being two different channels observed at the same angle, Split‐Window method):
Split‐window equations to derive land surface temperature
Ts = Ti+A(Ti-Tj)-B0+(1-i)B1- B2
where A and Bi are coefficients that depend on atmospheric transmittances, i is the mean value of the emissivities of channels i and j, is the spectral variation, Ti and Tj are the brightness temperatures for two different channels with the same view angle.
This equation is the so-called split-window equation and gives a separation between the atmospheric and emissivity effects in the retrieval of surface temperature.

Emissivity
A simplified method to emissivity, ᵋ, using atmospherically corrected data in the visible
and near infrared channels (Sobrino and Raissouni, 2000). Three different surface
types: bare soil pixels (NDVI<0.2), mixed pixels (0.2<NDVI<0.5) and fully vegetation
pixels (NDVI>0.5).
The NDVI is calculated with reflectivity values from the Red region (red) and Near
Infrared (nir) region:
AATSR channels centred in 0.67 m and 0.87 m used for red and nir respectively.
Thresholds Method (NDVITHM)

26
The final expressions obtained for this method are for bare soil pixels (NDVI < 0.2), = 0.9825 ‐0.051 redΔ = ‐0.0001 ‐0.041 red
for mixed pixels (0.2<= NDVI <=0.5), = 0.971 + 0.018 fcΔ = 0.006 (1 ‐ fc )
and for vegetation pixels (NDVI > 0.5), = 0.990
with fc being the vegetation proportion, given by
where NDVImin=0.2 and NDVImax=0.5. The main constraint of this method is that it can not be used to extract water emissivity values because it is not possible to apply the NDVI and fc equations for water pixels.
