1:10pm Panel 2: 3D modeling and simulations (Borel)

Radiosity simulations

PPT Slide

Temperatures higher in cavities and shaded areas

Reflections can change brightness temperatures

Surfaces can be a very different temperatures

During the day shadows are cold

Even in the absence of solar radiation temperature variations exist in grass

Surface orientation towards the sun determines temperature distributions

View direction influences temperature distributions

Clouds are warmer than the sky and influence thermal emission of surfaces

Tree bark shows temperature dependence due to illumination

Uniform surface material can be at very different temperatures
