Treatment EXPERIMENTAL
The study of ground thermal behaviour can give fruitful inforaation
on subsoil characteristics and soil moisture. Interest in this field
has led to the definition of the CITHARE project, whose ain is to
determine the feasibility of elaborating significant products for
geological and hydrogical purposes. The basis for such a study is to
utilize nany successive IR and visible pictures in order to assess
thermal inertia over a given area. For that reason a meteorological
geosynchronous satellite, such as SHS or HETEOSAT, with ils high
teaporal and stable coverage appears as a first choice data source.
Results, obtained with a preliminary set of SHS data demonstrate the
influence of sensible heat, wind, surface roughness and topography on
the determination of thermal inertia, The continuous observation of
the Earth is required to properly discriminate such effects for à
Jeternination of thermal inertia
