Infrared thermometry data (°C) for DOY 211 (30-Jul-2015) visualized within the geospatial plot boundaries using QGIS software. The image shows the well-watered treatments with cooler canopy temperatures and the water-limited treatments with increased canopy temperatures. This provides visual confirmation to the user that irrigation treatments are having an effect (a). Infrared thermometry data for a single plot (1001) visualized within the Jupyter Notebook using the “matplotlib” package. The pre-determined canopy temperature boundaries are the red dashed lines. The canopy temperature within the geospatial plot boundaries are the blue and green lines while the solid red and orange lines are the body temperature of the sensor. This provides visual confirmation to the user that the sensors are working correctly and returning reasonable canopy temperature values for cotton grown in Arizona (b)
