thermal inertia
thermal inertia A measure of the responsiveness of a material to variations in temperature. In remote sensing it is measured by diurnal changes in temperature. Materials with a high heat capacity display high thermal inertia, consequently such materials will show small changes in temperature through the diurnal cycle.
