Data from remote sensing satellites operating in the short‐wavelength infrared can be used to measure temperatures of about 150°C and above. The gain settings of the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) sensors are such that to record pixel‐integrated temperatures from 150°C to over 1000°C requires the use...
