Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) is widely used as the thermal barrier coating in turbines and engines. Accurate emissivity measurement of ZrO2 coating at high temperatures, especially above 1000 °C, plays a vital role in thermal modelling and radiation thermometry. However, it is an extremely challenging enterprise, and very few high temperature emissivity results with rigorously estimated uncertainties have been published to date. The key issue for accurately measuring the high temperature emissivity is maintaining a hot surface without reflection from the hot environment, and avoiding passive or active oxidation of material, which will modify the emissivity. In this paper, a novel modified integrated blackbody method is reported to measure the high temperature normal spectral emissivity of ZrO2 coating in the temperature range 1000 °C to 1200 °C and spectral range 8 μm to 14 μm. The results and the associated uncertainty of the measurement were estimated and a relative standard uncertainty better than 7% (k = 2) is achieved.

Emissivity information derived from thermal infrared (TIR) hyperspectral imagery has the advantages of both high spatial and spectral resolutions, which facilitate the detection and identification of the subtle spectral features of ground targets. Despite the emergence of several different TIR hyperspectral imagers, there are still no universal spectral emissivity measurement standards for TIR hyperspectral imagers in the field. In this paper, we address the problems encountered when measuring emissivity spectra in the field and propose a practical data acquisition and processing framework for a Fourier transform (FT) TIR hyperspectral imager—the Hyper-Cam LW—to obtain high-quality emissivity spectra in the field. This framework consists of three main parts. (1) The performance of the Hyper-Cam LW sensor was evaluated in terms of the radiometric calibration and measurement noise, and a data acquisition procedure was carried out to obtain the useful TIR hyperspectral imagery in the field. (2) The data quality of the original TIR hyperspectral imagery was improved through preprocessing operations, including band selection, denoising, and background radiance correction. A spatial denoising method was also introduced to preserve the atmospheric radiance features in the spectra. (3) Three representative temperature-emissivity separation (TES) algorithms were evaluated and compared based on the Hyper-Cam LW TIR hyperspectral imagery, and the optimal TES algorithm was adopted to determine the final spectral emissivity. These algorithms are the iterative spectrally smooth temperature and emissivity separation (ISSTES) algorithm, the improved Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer temperature and emissivity separation (ASTER-TES) algorithm, and the Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Hypercubes-IR (FLAASH-IR) algorithm. The emissivity results from these different methods were compared to the reference spectra measured by a Model 102F spectrometer. The experimental results indicated that the retrieved emissivity spectra from the ISSTES algorithm were more accurate than the spectra retrieved by the other methods on the same Hyper-Cam LW field data and had close consistency with the reference spectra obtained from the Model 102F spectrometer. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) between the retrieved emissivity and the standard spectra was 0.0086, and the spectral angle error was 0.0093.

The spreading of nearly zero-energy buildings in Mediterranean climate can be supported by the suitable coupling of traditional solar heating, photovoltaics and radiative cooling. The latter is a well-known passive cooling technique, but it is not so commonly used due to low power density and long payback periods. In this study, the energy performance of a system converting solar energy into electricity and heat during the daytime and offering cooling energy at night is assessed on the basis of a validated model of a trifunctional photovoltaic–thermal–radiative cooling module. The key energy, CO2 emission and economic performance indicators were analyzed by varying the main parameters of the system, such as the spectral emissivity of the selective absorber plate and cover and thermal insulation thickness. The annual performance analysis is performed by a transient simulation model for a typical residential building and two different climates of the Mediterranean area (Trapani and Milano). For both climates, glass-PVT–RC is the best solution in terms of both overall efficiency (electric + thermal) and cooling energy capacity, even better with a thicker insulation layer; the annual electrical, heat and cooling gains of this system are 1676, 10,238 and 3200 kWh for Trapani, correspondingly (1272, 9740 and 4234 kWh for Milano, respectively). The typical glass-PVT module achieves a performance quite similar to the best ones.

The emissivity is an important surface property parameter in many fields, including infrared temperature measurement. In this research, a symmetry theoretical model of directional spectral emissivity prediction is proposed based on Gaussian random rough surface theory. A numerical solution based on a matrix method is determined based on its symmetrical characteristics. Influences of the index of refraction n and the root mean square (RMS) roughness σrms on the directional spectrum emissivity ε are analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that surfaces with higher n and lower σrms tend to have a peak in high viewing angles. On the contrary, surfaces with lower n and higher σrms tend to have a peak in low viewing angles. Experimental verifications based on infrared (IR) temperature measurement of Inconel 718 sandblasted surfaces were carried out. This model would contribute to understand random rough surfaces and their emitting properties in fields including machining, process controlling, remote sensing, etc.

Abstract. Spectral emissivity is a key property of the Earth surface of which only very few measurements exist so far in the far-infrared (FIR) spectral region, even though recent work has shown its FIR contribution is important for accurate modelling of global climate. The European Space Agency's 9th Earth Explorer, FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) will provide the first global spectrally resolved measurements of the Earth's top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) spectrum in the FIR. In clear-sky conditions with low water vapour content, these measurements will provide a unique opportunity to retrieve spectrally resolved FIR surface emissivity. In preparation for the FORUM mission with an expected launch in 2026, this study takes the first steps towards the development of an operational emissivity retrieval for FORUM by investigating the sensitivity of the emissivity product of a full spectrum optimal estimation retrieval method to different physical and operational parameters. The tool used for the sensitivity tests is the FORUM mission's end-to-end simulator. These tests show that spectral emissivity of most surface types can be retrieved for dry scenes in the 350–600 cm−1 region with an uncertainty ranging from 0.005 to 0.01. In addition, the quality of retrieval is quantified with respect to the precipitable water vapour content of the scene, and the uncertainty caused by the correlation of emissivity with surface temperature is investigated. Two main recommendations are made based on these investigations: (1) As the extent of TOA sensitivity to the surface in the FIR depends on the atmospheric state, the spectral region of the emissivity product should be decided using a so-called information quantifier, calculated from the ratio of the retrieval uncertainty to the a-priori uncertainty. (2) Depending on retrieval input parameters, the correlation of emissivity with surface temperature allows for retrieved emissivities within a small range around the true emissivity. Thus the impact of this correlation on the uncertainty estimates of the product should be quantified in detail during further development of the operational retrieval.
