Abstract

Infrared surface emissivity derived from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is matched with Land Surface Model (LSM) soil texture types to construct a soil emissivity dataset over deserts in northern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, with which to investigate the relationship between satellite-derived infrared emissivity and desert soil textures. Infrared Desert emissivity spectra from AIRS are compared with the Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) spectral library. While these data sets differ in their magnitude, the large variability of IR emissivity occurs in several wavelength domains. This variation appears closely related to soil texture and compositions. The highest variation is mostly associated with silicate minerals and particle sizes within the desert soil.
