With the aim to develop a multi-parametric system devote to improving our present capability to assess seismic hazard particularly in the short-medium term, the preliminary step is to identify those parameters that have demonstrated their non-casual relation with earthquake occurrences and whose anomalous variations can be associated to the complex seismic process. Since 80, fluctuations of Earth thermally emitted radiation, measured by satellite sensors in the Thermal InfraRed (TIR) spectral region, have been reported by several authors in some connection with the occurrence of earthquakes; they and can be considered as one of the possible parameters to include within a multi-parametric system. In this paper, the Robust Satellite Techniques (RST) approach has been exploited to highlight Significant Sequences of TIR Anomalies (SSTAs) possibly related to seismic events happened in Italy in the period June 2004 - December 2014. In particular, we evaluated the level of correlation between occurrence of earthquakes with M≥4 and RST-based TIR anomalies using two different spatial resolutions of MSG-SEVIRI (Meteosat Second Generation -Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) images. Results of the two RST analyses show that the 82% of the identified SSTAs does not disappear when downscaled spatial resolution SEVIRI TIR records were used. For both analyses, more than 60% of SSTAs is apparently in connection with the occurrence of M≥4 earthquakes; more than the 80% of them has tendency to anticipate the occurrence of earthquakes. Although about the 40% of SSTAs is not apparently related to documented seismic activity (false positives), results of random tests (i.e. Molchan’s error diagrams) indicate a non-casual correlation between SSTAs and earthquake occurrences. These results confirm that the parameter “RST-based satellite TIR anomalies” is one of the possible candidates to be included in a multi-parametric system for time-Dependent Assessment of Seismic Hazard (t-DASH).

Space-based thermal vision is widely used to solve problems of ecological safety: the measurement of the surface temperature of water and dry land, the determination of the components of the thermal balance of terrestrial ecosystems, and the thermophysical properties of ecosystems (evaporation rate and thermal inertia). Ecological risk zones and sections of thermal contamination and high anthropogenic loading on the ecosystem have been mapped. Satellite thermal-vision systems are considered, and their technical characteristics are compared. Data-processing methods for purposes of ecological safety are analyzed. Examples are given of the use of the results of space-based thermal imaging for nature conservation and ecological safety. The role of space-based thermal vision in studying new threats to ecological safety is determined.

“…These stable cluster ions have a much longer lifetime and grow larger due to the attachment of water molecules. Gorny et al [27] first observed prominent signatures for thermal anomalies in the Central Asian region. They analyzed a satellite image of the earth's surface within the spectral range of 10.5-11.3 mcm over some linear structures of the Middle Asian seismically active region (Kopet Dagh, Talasso-Ferghana, and other faults) and observed positive anomalies of IR radiation along the point of intersection of the Talasso-Ferghana and Tamdy-Tokrauss faults.…”

This study examines the response of the thermal channel within the Lithosphere–Atmosphere–Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC) mechanism during the notable earthquake in Crete, Greece, on 27 September 2021. We analyze spatio-temporal profiles of Surface Latent Heat Flux (SLHF), Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR), and Atmospheric Chemical Potential (ACP) using reanalysis data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite. Anomalies in these parameters are computed by removing the background profile for a non-seismic condition. Our findings reveal a substantial anomalous increase in these parameters near the earthquake’s epicenter 3 to 7 days before the main shock. The implications of these observations contribute to a deeper understanding of the LAIC mechanism’s thermal channel in seismic events.
