Infrared heat imaging data is collected collected using the FLIR SC615 thermal sensor. These data are provided as geotiff image raster files as well as plot level means.
- Algorithms are in the flir2tif directory of the Multispectral extractor repository; see the readme for details.
- Sensor information: FLIR Thermal Camera collection

Plot level summaries are named 'surface_temperature' in the trait database. In the future this name will be used for the Level 1 data as well. This name from the Climate Forecast (CF) conventions, and is used instead of 'canopy_temperature' for two reasons: First, because we do not (currently) filter soil in this pipeline. Second, because the CF definition of surface_temperature distinguishes the surface from the medium: "The surface temperature is the temperature at the interface, not the bulk temperature of the medium above or below." http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-standard-names/48/build/cf-standard-name-table.html
Thermal imaging data is available via Clowder and Globus:
/ua-mac/raw_data/flirIrCamera
For details about using this data via Clowder or Globus, please see Data Access section.
- Data are unavailable for Season 4 (summer 2017 sorghum) and season 5 (winter 2017-2018 wheat).
- Work to recover these data is ongoing; see terraref/reference-data#190
