sorcer3r Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 FLIR and Persian Gulf do not seem to be best friends. Especially WHOT is pretty much unusable. How does it look in the A-10C? [sIGPIC]http://i1293.photobucket.com/albums/b582/sorcerer17/sorcf16-b_zpsycmnwuay.gif[/sIGPIC]
Weta43 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 That's an interesting issue. If 'normally' on the Caucasus map, the background is 8 to 20 degrees C (-10 to + 10 in the winter ?) & a car bonnet is + 30 and a person is + 37, then a person and a vehicle that's been running both look hot compared to the environment & show white on a black background WHOT. If you go to the PG map, In the South, the average daytime temp over summer is 38 degrees, and in places gets to well over 50 degrees. A dark vehicle sitting in the sun is going to be much hotter than this, while a person - if they want to live - is going to have to be much cooler. WHOT is going to have to be calibrated to a wider range of temps, and will presumably show vehicles as hot, but people as cold during the day, but both as hot in the middle of the night, & some cross over dusk & dawn. In the North, by the time you get to Shiraz you're out of the desert and in a Mediterranean climate - so more like the Caucasus map... Doesn't sound simple to model... Cheers.
