The temperature determined for an object calculated by a remote infrared sensor based solely on the amount of radiation it emits assuming the object has blackbody emission characteristics. 2, record 1, English, - apparent%20temperature
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
An ideal blackbody surface with an emissivity of 1 will have an apparent temperature (as perceived by a remote thermal sensor) equal to the actual temperature. Since emissivity values are always lower than 1, remote sensing of actual temperature is inaccurate. 3, record 1, English, - apparent%20temperature
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Infrared Spectrum ... used by imager (produces imagery mapping of the ocean surface with thermal contours) and radiometer-spectrometers (provide values of apparent temperature of the surface at points across the ocean). 4, record 1, English, - apparent%20temperature
