Abstract

On the basis of results of simultaneous solution of thermal emission transfer and thermal conductivity equations, the stochastic theory of temperature distribution and thermal radioemission of medium (half-space) has been developed. Expressions for covariance functions of temperature profile and brightness temperature as functions of statistical parameters of half-space surface temperature, which was considered as a random function of time, have been obtained
