In this paper a new measurement set-up is proposed, which aims to monitor emittance values recorded on a user-defined grid of a cooling lava region. The set-up uses instruments based on radiation thermometry which produce data to be 1. 1.

In particular a thermal camera is adopted allowing to perform measurements with the required resolution. The use of this device will improve the quality of the information in the respect of the previous experimental I. INTRODUCTION The understanding of phenomena ruling the cooling process of flowing lava in big eruptions has gained more and more interest due to the needs of suitable actions managing this kind of emergency. These actions are strictly related to the behaviour of the magma in terms of both its flow rate and its rheological characteristic, which depend on the evolution of the process regulating the crust formation. The cooling process, regulated by the beat transfer between magma and atmosphere, is assumed to be the major responsible of the solidification of external layers of lava and hence of the crust growing process. Thermal emittance is a material property regulating the heat transfer process between the material body and the surroundings. It depends on size, shape, surface roughness and angle of viewing and can be used to study the structural evolution of the analyzed material during the observed process. In the case of growing crust the emittance varies accordingly and characterizes the state evolution. Observation of the thermal emittance would allow for the estimation of the heat transfer evolution, which dictates both the formation of the crust and the behaviour of the magma. Some of the authors, in previous work, proposed a methodology for direct measurement of heat transfer in cooling lava [I]. It is based on the contemporaneous use of three different instruments to measure the temperature gradient in a lava flow close to the surface, and the temperature and thermal radiation of the lava-atmosphere interface.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.

In this paper, the effects of sampling upon rise time measurements with a digital oscilloscope are considered. The effects of sampling are analyzed and modeled for various input step signals. In particular, a simple expression is derived, which conveniently models the sampling contribution to the overall rise time measurement error. Using these results, a correction technique is proposed to remove the interpolation error bias, and its applicability is discussed also with respect to analog error sources.","PeriodicalId":135321,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 20th IEEE Instrumentation Technology Conference (Cat.
