Thermal Sensing

Close range and airborne thermal studies were conducted to examine the near-surface soil water content – surface temperature relationship both quantitatively and qualitatively. A typical result showing the linear correlation between the diurnal surface soil/canopy temperature difference and soil water content at a depth of 5-7 cm for fields covered by seedlings in a forest tree nursery is presented. Interpretation of several thermal images reveals details of natural and artificial surface and subsurface drainage systems in a nursery that are not visible on the ground or on aerial photography. Thermal patterns related to irrigation systems, wind and forest canopies are also examined. Such information is useful in studying subsurface water migration and irrigation efficiency and is an aid to drainage system design and water management practices. Key Words: Thermal sensing, Tree nursery, Subsurface soil moisture, Thermal image interpretation, Artificial, natural draining, Irrigation.
