为改善传统偏移量跟踪技术获取山地冰川表面位移时受大空间基线和地形起伏影响较大的状况,研究了数字高程模型(digital elevation model,DEM)辅助的偏移量跟踪技术。以西藏自治区康马县和浪卡子县之间的卓莫拉日山系东段冰川区为例,选取2对不同空间基线长度的TerraSAR-X数据应用传统的和DEM辅助的偏移量跟踪技术进行处理,并对比非冰川区的2种偏移量提取结果;针对2景入射角和成像范围有所差别的COSMO-SkyMed影像开展了DEM辅助的偏移量跟踪数据处理。结果表明,DEM辅助的偏移量跟踪技术不仅降低了空间基线和地形起伏引起的误差,而且还能应用于同一传感器不同波束模式的合成孔径雷达(synthetic aperture Radar,SAR)影像,扩大了SAR数据的使用范围。     

基于最小二乘平差的全极化SAR配准偏移量估计方法

全极化合成孔径雷达影像(PolSAR)相对单极化SAR影像有更加丰富的地表信息。为了提高SAR影像偏移量跟踪技术估算偏移量的精度,提出一种基于最小二乘平差法的全极化SAR数据偏移量估计方法。首先利用全极化SAR不同极化通道数据估算偏移量得到多个观测值,然后通过最小二乘平差法对多余观测值循环剔除粗差得到最优偏移量。文中选取美国科罗拉多州湖城(Lake city)区域的两景JPL无人机UAVSAR全极化SAR影像进行实验,结果表明,文中新方法具有良好的粗差探测和去除功能,相对于已有研究结果,在方位向和距离向的偏移量估算精度都有明显提高,达到15%~25%。新方法提高了偏移量跟踪估算偏移量的精度,这对利用偏移量跟踪技术监测滑坡、地震及冰川等有重要的意义。

本文利用Sentinel-2数据,通过光学影像互相关技术(OICC),并借鉴小基线集(SBAS)思路,提取并分析了岗普冰川2015—2022年时序表面运动速度及时空变化特征。结果表明：岗普冰川表面流速存在明显的空间差异性,流速高值主要集中在上游的物质积累区,该区域形变特征复杂,年最高流速为82.5 m/a;冰川主体流速整体波动较小,位于40～50 m/a之间;时间特征上,冰川在研究时段内流速较为稳定,年际之间流速相差不大;利用东西向和南北向偏移量获取的最终偏移方向,与冰川实际流动方向相符,选取的稳定区域的偏移量误差仅占冰川最大流速的0.04%～0.7%,证实了冰川时序表面流速结果的可靠性。

采用归一化互相关算法精确配准Landsat 8影像得到了2014年—2016年不同季节冰川的运动速率,并利用其热红外波段对不同时刻的地表温度进行反演;通过强度追踪法处理TerraSAR-X影像得到了2008年4月—10月不同时段的冰川运动速率。两种数据得到的结果表明:冰川末端流速较小,中部流速增大,流速从轴部向两侧递减;冬季流速明显小于夏季,变化趋势与温度变化具有一致性。冰川西侧分支的移动速率相对较大,从Landsat 8和TerraSAR-X提取的最大速率分别为2.56 m·d~(-1)和2.74 m·d~(-1)。最后对稳定区域的冰川流速进行统计,结果显示Landsat 8提取的冰川流速精度控制在1—9 cm d~(-1),基于TerraSAR-X的强度追踪法提取移动速率的精度控制在2cm·d~(-1),验证了两种数据监测冰川移动的可靠性。     

藏东南然乌湖流域雅弄冰川流速季节性变化

冰川流速是表征冰川运动的重要参数之一,对于冰川动力学、气候变化以及物质平衡等研究具有重要意义。冰川流速的影响因素多样,其中气象因子主要是通过改变冰川物质平衡、活动性以及水力特征来对冰川运动产生影响,所以冰川流速也可能与气象因子一样具有季节性差异。基于2017-11-06—2020-11-02期间31景哨兵1号(Sentinel-1)雷达影像,采用外部数字高程模型(digital elevation model,DEM)辅助的偏移量追踪法对中国西藏自治区昌都市八宿县境内然乌湖流域的雅弄冰川进行了冰川表面流速提取,并结合研究区冰舌面积变化以及气象因子(平均气温、降水量、降雪日数以及平均日照数)对雅弄冰川流速季节性变化进行了分析。结果表明:雅弄冰川流速分布呈现中上部流速高而下部流速低的特点,且冰川中部主流线流速明显高于两侧速度。30组冰川流速变化具有明显的季节性,夏季流速高而冬春季流速低。与流速变化相同,冰舌面积变化同样具有季节性差异,冬季面积明显大于夏季面积。与气象影响因子对比分析发现,气温、降水以及日照均对冰川表面流速具有正效应,促进冰川运动,而降雪抑制了部分热量及辐射传递,进而抑制了冰川融水过程,减缓了冰川运动。在气象因子影响力上,气温对冰川运动的效应最明显,降雨次之,日照影响最小。     

阿尼玛卿冰川表面流速与地质灾害隐患点监测

为了更好地开展冰川变化与地质灾害隐患的监测研究,该文基于Sentinel-1A数据,使用合成孔径雷达影像偏移量追踪技术和GACOS辅助下的小基线集-InSAR方法,对阿尼玛卿冰川表面流速及周边区域地质灾害隐患点进行了监测分析。结果表明：2015—2021年阿尼玛卿冰川表面流速先增加后减缓,在2018年达到了最大(6 m/a);冰川流速暖季(5—9月)大于冷季(10月—次年4月);地质灾害隐患点多集中于冰川两侧,其形变速率与冰川运动速率一致性较好,推测与冰川融水对岩土体稳定性的影响有关。该文的研究结果可为冰川融化引起的地质灾害的防灾减灾工作提供重要参考。     

利用SAR影像配准偏移量提取地表形变的方法与误差分析

单一的InSAR观测技术可提取地表沿雷达视线方向(LOS)上的一维位移,而利用SAR影像配准过程中的同名像素偏移量可提取地表沿雷达方位向(近南北向)与距离向(近东西向)的二维形变场,与LOS方向的一维形变形成优势互补。本文在分析SAR影像配准偏移量提取地表形变场方法的基础上,推导建立了雷达方位向与距离向形变提取的误差模型,探讨了该方法提取地表形变的主要误差源。以Bam地震ASAR影像和玉树地震PALSAR影像为数据源,分别开展同震形变场的提取与误差分析试验,结果表明,基于SAR像素配准偏移量提取同震形变场的精度主要受匹配窗口尺寸与过采样因子影响,形变提取误差随匹配计算窗口的增大而减小,形变提取精度随过采样因子的增大有适量提高,地形起伏效应在高差较大的SAR影像区域中表现较为显著。     

表碛型冰川的时序InSAR识别方法与形变监测研究

为了对表碛覆盖型冰川边界进行识别并掌握其变化,以伦道夫(RGI6.0)冰川编目为基础,基于Sentinel-1数据运用时序InSAR技术对昆仑山东段表碛覆盖型冰川进行了形变监测。根据2014年10月至2020年9月表碛覆盖下冰川的时序形变情况,将InSAR形变与光学影像相结合验证冰川边界。结果表明:对昆仑山东段研究区域内280条冰川边界的研究中,探测到3处表碛覆盖型冰川,对边界进行调整后冰川面积分别增加0.19、0.1、0.18 km~2。根据时序形变,发现冰川表碛形变呈现明显的季节周期性,形变与温度、坡向显著相关。另外,表碛覆盖型冰川的变形幅度在(-5,5)cm范围内,暖季变形幅度最大,且地形对突变幅度造成影响。这表明时序InSAR技术可对表碛覆盖型冰川进行形变监测与识别研究。     

基于SIA理论的冰川储量计算

本文以抗物热冰川、古仁河口冰川、乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川和东绒布冰川为例,基于SIA理论和数字高程模型(DEM)数据及冰川矢量数据,计算各条冰川主流线的平均厚度值,并利用内插方法得到各条冰川的冰储量。结果表明:①抗物热冰川、古仁河口冰川、乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川和东绒布冰川的储量分别为0.022、0.026、0.024和1.450 km³。②经与传统冰储量计算经验公式、探地雷达(GPR)实测数据计算的冰储量结果相比,基于SIA模型得到的冰储量结果均较小,这与数字高程模型数据精度及断面划分有一定相关性。     

Terrestrial photogrammetric mapping of the Neh-Nar glacier in Himalaya, India

Terrestrial photogrammetry holds distinct advantages over the conventional theodolite survey or aerial photogrammetry for glacier surveys, on account of inaccessibility of upper reaches of the glaciers and non-suitability of large-scale aerial photography for very high relief areas. The Neh-Nar glacier was mapped with a contour interval of 10 m utilising terrestrial photogrammetric techniques because no large-scale base map of the glacier was available for detailed glaciological studies. This glacier was selected under the International Hydrological Programme. Apart from topographic details various features of glaciological significance like transient snowline, accumulation and ablation zones, bergschrund, icefalls etc., were also mapped.     

Snow and glacier melt runoff model to estimate hydropower potential

Himalayan region has high concentrations of mountain glaciers. Large extent of this region is covered by seasonal snow during winter. Runoff generates from melting of these snow and glaciers is one of the important sources of water for the Himalayan Rivers. Glaciers and snowfields are distributed throughout the Himalayas and form a source of numerous streams. Due to steep slopes, all such streams have potential sites for hydropower generation. If this potential is fully utilized, it will help in generating power from environmentally friendly Run-of-River (RoR) hydropower stations. Considering these aspects, a stream flow simulation model was developed for small streams. This will help in estimation of average seasonal unrestricted hydropower potential of snow and glaciated streams for winter, summer, monsoon and autumn seasons. Information generated through remote sensing technique as glacier, permanent snow cover, seasonal snow cover, altitude of snow and glaciers were used in conjunction with daily maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall and discharge. The model was developed for Malana nala located in Parbati River basin near Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. It was validated at adjacent Tosh nala in the same basin. Seasonal runoff computed from the model is comparable with observed data for all seasons except Monsoon. Good results in autumn, winter and summer seasons demonstrates usefulness of runoff model to assess hydropower potential of snow and glaciated streams and therefore, the model was applied to ungauged Sorang Gad and Kirang Khad. In winter runoff was estimated as 1.8 and 1.69 cumecs for Kirang Khad and Sorang Gad, respectively. This is important, as viability of hydropower station depends upon winter stream runoff. These results suggest that the model is useful tool to assess initial estimate of hydropower potential for large number of snow and glaciated streams, for which no hydrological data is available.     

Landsat影像冰川提取的上下文感知语义分割网络法

针对冰川提取存在云阴影、山体阴影、结冰湖泊等同物异谱、同谱异物导致难以有效区分的问题,设计了一种用于冰川提取的上下文感知深度学习语义分割网络。首先引入resnet50作为基准编码网络,以实现冰川特征提取的精度和效率平衡,其次针对现有语义分割网络存在上下文信息学习不足方面,设计了包括空洞卷积组块和最大池化组块的上下文信息提取层,以便更好地提取冰川的上下文信息。选择多景样本数据和验证数据的多源遥感影像进行试验,与现有基于特征指数的冰川提取方法、其他深度学习语义分割网络方法进行定性和定量对比,结果表明本文网络方法在结冰湖面等误提取,阴影的漏提取,以及提取结果完整性等方面,具有较好的效果,验证了本文方法的有效性与稳健性。     

Recent glacier changes in the Kashmir Alpine Himalayas,India

Using Landsat data at decadal interval (1980–2013), the glacier fluctuations (glacier area, equilibrium line altitude and specific mass balance) of nine benchmark glaciers in Kashmir Himalaya were estimated. The observed changes were related to topographic and climatic variables in order to understand their influence. From the data analysis, it was observed that the glaciers have shrunk by 17%, ELA has shifted upwards (80–300 m) and SMB shows variation in glacier mass loss from ?0.77 to ?0.16 m.w.e. Annual air temperature showed a significant increasing trend, and a slight but insignificant decrease in precipitation was observed during the period. It is evident that in the same climatic regime, varying topography plays a key role in determining the glacier changes. It is believed that the observed changes in the glacier geometry and dynamics, if continued, shall have adverse effect on the streamflows, water supplies and other dependent sectors in the region.     

Applicability of Landsat 8 data for characterizing glacier facies and supraglacial debris

The present work evaluates the applicability of operational land imager (OLI) and thermal infrared sensor (TIRS) on-board Landsat 8 satellite. We demonstrate an algorithm for automated mapping of glacier facies and supraglacial debris using data collected in blue, near infrared (NIR), short wave infrared (SWIR) and thermal infrared (TIR) bands. The reflectance properties in visible and NIR regions of OLI for various glacier facies are in contrast with those in SWIR region. Based on the premise that different surface types (snow, ice and debris) of a glacier should show distinct thermal regimes, the ‘at-satellite brightness temperature’ obtained using TIRS was used as a base layer for developing the algorithm. This base layer was enhanced and modified using contrasting reflectance properties of OLI bands. In addition to facies and debris cover characterization, another interesting outcome of this algorithm was extraction of crevasses on the glacier surface which were distinctly visible in output and classified images. The validity of this algorithm was checked using field data along a transect of the glacier acquired during the satellite pass over the study area. With slight scene-dependent threshold adjustments, this work can be replicated for mapping glacier facies and supraglacial debris in any alpine valley glacier.     

Recession of samudra tapu glacier, chandra river basin, Himachal Pradesh

Himalayas possess one of the largest resources of snow, ice and glaciers that act as a huge freshwater reservoir. Monitoring the glaciers is important to assess the overall reservoir health of the Himalayas. Samudra Tapu is one of the largest glaciers in Chandra basin of district Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh. Based on the field investigations and the remote sensing techniques. features such as accumulation area, ablation area snowline/equilibrium line, moraine-dammed lakes and permanent snowfields were mapped. The glacial terminus was identified using moraine-dammed lake, as lake is located at down streamside of the terminus. The total recession of glacier during the period of 38 years (1962–2000) is about 742 m with an average rate of 19.5 m/yr. In addition, glacial extent is reduced from 73 to 65 km² between 1962 and 2000. suggesting overall deglaciation of 11%. During field investigation. three stages of glaciation using terminal moraine were identified. These moraines were mapped by merging LISS-II1 and PAN data. At the peak of glaciation. the glacial terminus was extended 3.18 km downstream of terminus position in year 2000. Total area during peak of glaciation period has been observed to be 77.67 km², which is 12.67 km² higher than the present glacier extent.
