Abstract
The AVTIS remote sensing instrument is a custom built millimetre wave sensor that has been developed as a practical field tool for remote sensing of volcanic terrain at active lava domes. We present validation of the MMW radiometry of a volcanic scene by comparison with coincident infrared imagery.
