Thermal Emissivity : Basics, Measurement, and Biological Examples

Measurement of thermal emissivity is of interest in a number of disciplines: Astronomy, climate science, meteorology, geology, biology, engineering, and so on, and a number of methods have been developed for different purposes and situations.
