Comparison between Thermal Airborne Remote Sensing, Multi-depth Electrical Resistivity Profiling and Soil Mapping

Brightness temperature of the ground surface measured by airborne remote sensing after a cold wave in December 2002 has a sufficient depth of investigation to inform about the thermal inertia of the subsoil layer. The comparison of this thermal property to the soil map and to resistivity maps confirms this depth of investigation and shows the ability of the thermal property to distinguish between calcisol and cambisol.
