Title
TABI Thermal Airborne Imagery (AfA153)
Notes
Flood and Coastal Risk Management - Incident Management.

The thermal airborne imager is a sensor that is used for airborne mapping to distinguish temperature differences as small as one tenth of a degree. This is done by detecting and measuring emitted radiation in the 8 to 12 micron range of the Electromagnetic Spectrum, resulting in an indicative surface temperature map of the land below the aircraft. Images of the ground are captured at resolutions between 1m and 4m.

The Environment Agency's thermal airborne data archive includes imagery from airborne surveys carried out by the Environment Agency to map the relative heat loss from rooftops, which have been used to inform local authorities where to target climate change mitigation strategies.

Digital imagery is available for those areas where flights have been commissioned for survey work. Image data can be supplied in a variety of image formats that are directly compatible for input in a GIS including geoTIFF, geoJPEG and ERDAS Imagine .img. Image data is supplied as a grey-scale image or colour-coded classification and in flightline image strips.
