A pyrometer is a remote-sensing infrared thermometer that measures the temperature of distant objects. It determines the temperature of an object by detecting its thermal radiation. It can be deployed on aircraft, ground, or water-based platforms for surface and sea surface temperature observations. For atmospheric studies, the pyrometer typically operates in the 9.6 to 11.5 µm spectral range and has a temperature range of -25 to 200 degrees Celsius. Pyrometers have a typical response time of 5 ms to 600 s.
