Abstract

Visible and infra-red images of the whole of the British Isles have been analysed, and calculation of values of the surface albedo, and the surface emissivity, has revealed changes during and since the 1976 drought. However, it is found that certain changes in values of surface infra-red emissivity are difficult to interpret and in many cases reference must be made to meteorological parameters. The use of low resolution satellite imagery to establish surface characteristics on a national scale is shown to be of the utmost importance for climatic impact studies. -from Authors
