Equations (1)-(3) assume an infinite waveband for radiation emission and constant ε at all wavelengths. These assumptions
are not valid because infrared radiometers do not have infinite wavebands, as most correspond to the atmospheric window
of 8-14 µm, and ε varies with wavelength. Despite the violated assumptions, the errors for emissivity correction with Eq. (3) in
environmental applications are typically negligible because a large proportion of the radiation emitted by terrestrial objects
is in the 8-14 µm waveband (the power of 4 in Eqs. (2) and (3) is a reasonable approximation), ε for most terrestrial objects
does not vary significantly in the 8-14 µm waveband, and the background radiation is a small fraction (1 – ε) of the measured
radiation because most terrestrial surfaces have high emissivity (often between 0.9 and 1.0). To apply Eq. (3), the brightness
temperature of the background (T
to measure background temperature, the waveband it measures should be the same as the radiometer used to measure
surface brightness temperature. Although the ε of a fully closed plant canopy can be 0.98-0.99, the lower ε of soils and other
surfaces can result in substantial errors if ε effects are not accounted for.
