the background is generally the sky), and ε is the ratio of non-blackbody radiation emission (actual radiation
emission) to blackbody radiation emission at the same temperature (theoretical maximum for radiation emission).
Unless the target surface is a blackbody (ε = 1; emits and absorbs the theoretical maximum amount of energy
based on temperature), E
Since temperature, rather than energy, is the desired quantity, Eq. (1) can be written in terms of temperature

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

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.
