Abstract An advance thermal video radiometer (TVR) was mounted onboard a helicopter and used to collect data over Tel-Aviv, Israel, from an altitude of 7000 feet. The sensor, sensitive to the 3-12 mu m spectral region, consisted of an onboard calibration device and a 1.8 mRad instantaneous field of view (IFOV), which enabled direct assessment of surface radiometric temperature patterns in very high spatial and thermal resolutions. The TVR capability was examined by studying the microscale structures of the urban heat island (UHI) of Tel-Aviv, Israel, during a stable calm night on 28 February 1995. The TVR data were found to be of high quality in terms of signal to noise ratio, reproducibility, stability, thermal sensitivity and spatial resolution capabilities. The radiometric data were analysed against air temperature acquired during the flight time by four mobile traverses that crossed the city from north to south. A significant heat island was identified over the inner city areas, which was found to be ...
