D-InSAR技术的积雪深度反演

积雪深度是大量气候、水文、农业及生态模型的重要输入变量。选用欧空局Sentinel-1主动微波数据,利用合成孔径雷达SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar)差分干涉测量技术的二轨法,根据积雪相位与雪深之间的转换关系,反演新疆天山中段的巴音布鲁克盆地典型区的积雪雪深分布,提出了基于InSAR二轨差分的雪深估计方法,反演得到2016年12月18日的空间分辨率为13.89 m的雪深分布。研究表明:(1)对Sentinel-1数据进行正确的预处理以后,可以应用SAR差分干涉测量技术的二轨法反演区域雪深分布。但由于像对相干性和积雪状态的差异,积雪深度超过10 cm,可以获取较准确的雪深反演结果,R=0.65,反演误差的均方根误差RMSE=4.52 cm,平均相对误差为22.42%,反演雪深结果均比实测结果略偏低;而当雪深小于10 cm时,雪深反演值较实测值存在较大的误差,相对误差均高于34.52%,且反演雪深值均比实测值偏高。(2)雪深反演精度受高程及实际雪深的差异影响显著,另外雪深反演精度也受限于干涉像对相干性。结果表明,对于获取区域积雪雪深,InSAR技术较光学及被动微波遥感具有非常广阔的应用前景。     

基于GPS新型L5信号的地表雪深反演研究

利用GPS多路径反射信号测量地表雪深具有全天候和高时空分辨率的特点,因此其可作为一种代替气象站监测雪深的新手段。然而,先前大多数研究仅使用了GPS L1和L2C波段信噪比数据探测积雪深度。为验证新型的L5信号在雪深反演方面的优越性,本文阐述了GPS-R技术反演雪深的原理,利用Lomb-Scargle周期图法所处理的受积雪表层影响的信噪比数据计算了频谱振幅强度,通过获取频谱特征值与天线高度的关系求解雪深值,最后分别与L1反演结果和实测雪深数据进行了对比。试验结果表明：与现有的GPS-R测量雪深结果相比,利用新型的L5反射信号反演地表雪深的精度更佳;采用GPS-R技术探测雪深对把握测站区域内的雪深变化情况和淡水资源储量具有重要价值。     

GLONASS卫星SNR信号的雪深探测

利用GNSS-MR(Global Navigation Satellite System Multipath Reflectometry)技术反演积雪深度是近年来一种新兴的卫星遥感技术。目前大多数研究仅使用GPS(Global Position System)数据限制了该技术的发展,为了扩展GNSS-MR算法的应用,介绍了基于GNSS-MR算法的雪深反演模型。首先,通过多项式拟合分解GLONASS观测数据获取高精度的信噪比残差序列;然后,利用Lomb-Scargle谱分析法对其进行频谱分析可解算雪深值。选取IGS中心的YEL2站2015年11月到2016年6月共243天的GLONASS卫星L1波段反射信号的SNR数据进行实例分析,并以美国国家气象数据中心提供的加拿大Y-H (Yellowknife Henderson)气象站的实测雪深数据为真值,将反演雪深与实测雪深进行对比验证。所得实验结果如下:(1)与GPS卫星的反演值相比,基于GLONASS-MR(GLONASS Multipath Reflectometry)技术反演积雪深度的精度同样能达到厘米级,RMSE仅3.3 cm,反演值与实测值的空间分布趋势一致且相关性较强,其相关系数R2高达0.969;(2)不同的积雪深度对信噪比的振幅频率与垂直反射距离具有直接影响;(3)对同一卫星而言,信噪比的频谱振幅强度峰值与其对应的反演值存在线性相关;(4)在相同条件下,采用多颗GLONASS卫星数据比单颗GLONASS卫星数据反演雪深的效果明显更优。基于反演的高时间分辨率产品,分析该地区雪深日变化的情况,实验结果表明基于陆基CORS站的GLONASS-MR技术在用于实时、连续的雪深变化监测方面具有良好的潜力和可行性。     

干雪深度反演的同极化相位差模型

积雪深度是积雪的重要结构参数,获取高精度雪深空间分布信息对于流域尺度水资源管理、气候变化研究和灾害预报等具有重要意义.本文以新疆阿尔泰山南坡克兰河上游为研究区,利用C波段全极化GF-3数据及地面同步观测数据,根据VV与HH极化信号在积雪中折射率不同导致相位差异的原理,使用Maxwell-Garnett方程构建同极化相位差(co-pol arized phase difference,CPD)的正演模型,并基于CPD与雪深关系构建了雪深反演模型.通过对具有不同积雪条件的浅雪区与深雪区分别进行雪深反演,获得雪深空间分布信息.同时对反演不确定性进行了分析,并与已有方法进行比较,研究结果表明:①假定研究区积雪各向异性介电常数恒定的理想情况下,CPD仅是雪深的函数,可用半经验的线性模型反演雪深,反演精度的高低与计算CPD过程中使用的滤波器的窗口大小有关,浅雪区的最优滤波窗口为59×59像元,反演精度R为0.83,RMSE为2.72 cm,深雪区的最优滤波窗口为33×33像元,反演精度R为0.54,RMSE为11.69 cm;②雪深反演误差与坡度显著相关,随着坡度的增加,雪深的反演误差呈现出显著增加的趋势,雪深反演不确定性受雪层变质程度、含水量及卫星入射角观测几何条件影响,反演方法对于干燥、雪层变质结晶程度低、均质的积雪及具有大入射角的SAR卫星有更好的适用性;③对比已有基于CPD模型的雪深反演方法,本文方法已经将反演所需要的参数减少为遥感获取的CPD数据,以及进行模型拟合的实测雪深数据,反演精度更高.研究表明CPD模型反演山区雪深空间分布是有效和可行的,研究成果为山区雪深遥感反演提供了新思路.

HJ-1B的积雪参数反演研究

积雪参数如雪盖、雪深是标示气候变化的敏感因子,具有较高时空分辨率的HJ-1B卫星是专门用于灾害监测与评估业务的国产卫星之一,开展以HJ-1B为主的积雪参数反演对于我国国产卫星的理论研究与深入应用具有重要意义。本文针对积雪参数反演,根据HJ卫星CCD和IRS传感器的数据特征,深入分析积雪等典型地物的光谱特性,而后针对同时具有HJ-1B/CCD、IRS数据和只有CCD或者IRS传感器数据3种情况展开积雪信息提取方法研究;在进行浅雪区雪深反演时,利用两种不同的统计回归模型进行交叉验证、研究对比。研究结果表明,3种情况下提取出的积雪精度都达到了80%以上,以第1种情况提取精度最高,两种统计模型反演出的浅雪区雪深的一致度达到83%左右,说明HJ星数据能较好地反演雪盖及浅雪区的雪深,能满足实际应用的需要。     

基于MEMLS模型的积雪深度反演方法

利用被动微波遥感反演积雪深度一直是积雪遥感领域中的研究热点。在现有的积雪深度反演算法中,NASA算法因其简洁、易于扩展的特点,成为应用最为广泛的算法。但NASA算法存在着一定不足:首先,由于NASA算法基于线性拟合得出,在应用到其他研究区域时需要对反演公式进行重新拟合,适用范围受到一定限制;其次,由于算法中引入的19GHz与37GHz的亮温差在雪深达到一定范围时会达到饱和,因此算法会低估积雪深度。本文针对现有反演算法的不足之处,结合蚁群智能算法的特点,发展了基于蚁群算法的积雪深度反演算法;此外,针对NASA算法中存在的雪深低估问题,引入了AMSR-E10.7GHz亮温数据,对算法进行了改进。利用MEMLS模型的模拟数据与AMSR-E辐射亮温数据对算法进行实验,并采用实测数据与AMSR-E雪水当量产品对算法的反演精度进行评价。结果表明,两种积雪深度反演算法均是可行的,反演精度与现有产品相比有较为明显的改进。     

GNSS-MR技术用于雪深探测的初步研究

积雪是全球水循环中的重要组成部分,积雪深度与雪水当量的精确监测对全球气候变化研究极其重要。随着GNSS研究与应用的不断深入,基于多路径效应的GNSS-MR（GNSS multipath reflectometry）技术用于地表环境监测（植被、土壤湿度、雪深、海平面等）已成为一种新兴的遥感手段。分析了SNR（signal-to-noise ratio）信噪比值的变化特性,详细给出了基于SNR观测值的GNSS-MR技术探测雪深的基本原理及其计算流程图。为了验证算法的有效性,利用科罗拉多州17 d连续跟踪站NWOT的GPS数据反演了降雪厚度,其结果与实测的雪深记录数据吻合较好,误差均值为0.07 m。初步研究结果验证了GNSS-MR技术用于积雪深度探测的可行性,并为后续充分利用现有的全球密集GNSS跟踪站数据开展地表环境监测提供重要参考。

基于遥感数据的积雪信息提取:以新疆北疆为例(英文)

This paper proposes an applicable approach for snow information abstraction in northern Xinjiang Basin using MODIS data. Linear spectral mixture analysis (LSMA) was used to calculate snow cover fractions (SF) within a pixel, which was used to establish a regression function with NDSI. In addition, 80 snow depths samples were collected in the study region. The correlation between image spectra reflectance and snow depth as well as the comparison between measured snow spectra and image spectra was analyzed. An algorithm was developed for snow depth inversion on the basis of the correlation between snow depth and snow spectra in the region. The results indicated that the model of SF had a high accuracy with the mean absolute error 0.06 tested by 26 true measured values and the validation for snow depth model using another dataset with 50 sampling sites showed an RMSE of 1.63. Our study showed that MODIS data provide an alternative method for snow information abstraction through development of algorithms suitable for local application.

Accuracy assessment of MODIS/Terra snow cover product for parts of Indian Himalayas

Snow cover mapping is important for snow and glacier-related research. The spatial and temporal distribution of snow cover area is a fundamental input to the atmospheric models, snowmelt runoff models and climate models, as well as other applications. Daily snow cover maps from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra satellite were retrieved for the period between 2004 and 2007, and pixels in these images were classified as cloud, snow or snow-free. These images have then been compared with ground snow depth (SD) measurements from the four observatories located at different parts of Himalayas. Comparison of snow maps with in situ data showed good agreement with overall accuracies in between 78.15 and 95.60%. When snow cover was less, MODIS data were found to be less accurate in mapping snow cover region. As the SD increases, the accuracy of MODIS snow cover maps also increases.     

A new method for retrieving band 6 of aqua MODIS

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is a key research instrument for the NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) mission. It was successfully launched onboard the Terra satellite in December 1999 and Aqua satellite in May 2002. Both MODIS instruments have been working well except that 15 of the 20 detectors in Aqua MODIS band 6 (1.628-1.652 /spl mu/m) are either nonfunctional or noisy. The striping in Aqua MODIS band 6 caused by its nonfunctional or noisy detectors has been a serious problem for MODIS snow products, which use band 6 primarily for snow detection. MODIS scientists have been using Aqua MODIS band 7 (2.105-2.155 /spl mu/m) instead of band 6 for computing the normalized difference snow index to continue detecting global snow coverage. The main objective of this letter is to retrieve Aqua MODIS band 6 using other bands based on their relationships in Terra MODIS. The band retrieval approach proposed in this letter is also very useful for the next generation of MODIS sensor-the Visible/Infrared Imager/Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) band M10 proxy data generation. Such proxy data can support the VIIRS prelaunch end-to-end testing, postlaunch calibration/validation, and data quality checking.     

Northern Hemisphere Snow-Covered Area Mapping: Optical Versus Active and Passive Microwave Data

Spaceborne passive microwave data have been available for the past 27 years, and have supported the development of several algorithms for the retrieval of snow water equivalent and snow depth that, in turn, can be used for mapping snow-covered areas. In contrast, only recently has the application of spaceborne active microwave instruments been investigated for remote sensing of snow on a global scale. This raises the question of whether a technique combining active and passive microwave data can improve the mapping of snow parameters with respect to techniques based solely on passive data. In this letter, we report results concerning the mapping of snow-covered area (SCA) in the Northern Hemisphere between the years 2000 and 2004 derived from the combination of the brightness temperatures at 19.35 and 37 GHz measured by the Special Sensor Microwave Imager Radiometer with backscatter coefficients at 13.4 GHz measured by the NASA's QuickSCAT. SCA derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is used as a reference to evaluate the performance of the microwave-based techniques and their combination. Results show that, generally, the technique using passive data provides better agreement with MODIS SCA than the technique using only scatterometer data. However, the results when both datasets are used show considerable improvement, demonstrating the potential benefits of a multisensor approach     

Snow Cover Monitoring in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Based on Chinese Fengyun-3/VIRR Data

Snow cover monitoring in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is very important to global climate change research. Because of the geographic distribution of ground meteorological stations in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is too sparse, satellite remote sensing became the only choice for snow cover monitoring in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. In this paper, multi-channel data from Visible and Infrared Radiometer (VIRR) on Chinese polar orbiting meteorological satellites Fengyun-3(FY-3) are utilized for snow cover monitoring, in this work, the distribution of snow cover is extracted from the normalized difference snow index(NDSI), and the multi-channel threshold from the brightness temperature difference in infrared channels. Then, the monitoring results of FY-3A and FY-3B are combined to generate the daily composited snow cover product. Finally, the snow cover products from MODIS and FY-3 are both verified by snow depth of meteorological station observations, result shows that the FY-3 products and MODIS products are basically consistent, the overall accuracy of FY-3 products is higher than MODIS products by nearly 1 %. And the cloud coverage rate of FY-3 products is less than MODIS by 2.64 %. This work indicates that FY-3/VIRR data can be reliable data sources for monitoring snow cover in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.     

Evaluating MODIS snow products for modelling snowmelt runoff: Case study of the Rio Grande headwaters

Snow-covered area (SCA) is a key variable in the Snowmelt-Runoff Model (SRM) and in other models for simulating discharge from snowmelt. Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM + ) or Operational Land Imager (OLI) provide remotely sensed data at an appropriate spatial resolution for mapping SCA in small headwater basins, but the temporal resolution of the data is low and may not always provide sufficient cloud-free dates. The coarser spatial resolution Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) offers better temporal resolution and in cloudy years, MODIS data offer the best alternative for mapping snow cover when finer spatial resolution data are unavailable. However, MODIS’ coarse spatial resolution (500 m) can obscure fine spatial patterning in snow cover and some MODIS products are not sensitive to end-of-season snow cover. In this study, we aimed to test MODIS snow products for use in simulating snowmelt runoff from smaller headwater basins by a) comparing maps of TM and MODIS-based SCA and b) determining how SRM streamflow simulations are changed by the different estimates of seasonal snow depletion. We compared gridded MODIS snow products (Collection 5 MOD10A1 fractional and binary SCA; SCA derived from Collection 6 MOD10A1 Normalised Difference Snow Index (NDSI) Snow Cover), and the MODIS Snow Covered-Area and Grain size retrieval (MODSCAG) canopy-corrected fractional SCA (SCA_MG), with reference SCA maps (SCA_REF) generated from binary classification of TM imagery. SCA_MG showed strong agreement with SCA_REF; excluding true negatives (where both methods agreed no snow was present) the median percent difference between SCA_REF and SCA_MG ranged between −2.4% and 4.7%. We simulated runoff for each of the four study years using SRM populated with and calibrated for snow depletion curves derived from SCA_REF. We then substituted in each of the MODIS-derived depletion curves. With efficiency coefficients ranging between 0.73 and 0.93, SRM simulation results from the SCA_MG runs yielded the best results of all the MODIS products and only slightly underestimated discharge volume (between 7 and 11% of measured annual discharge). SRM simulations that used SCA derived from Collection 6 NDSI Snow Cover also yielded promising results, with efficiency coefficients ranging between 0.73 and 0.91.In conclusion, we recommend that when simulating snowmelt runoff from small basins (<4000 km²) with SRM, we recommend that users select either canopy-corrected MODSCAG or create their own site-specific products from the Collection 6 MOD10A1 NDSI.

基于MODIS数据的雪面温度遥感反演

On the basis of simplification of the Planck function in a low temperature range, this paper revises the practical split-window algorithm and presents a method for retrieving snow surface temperature （Ts） based on MODIS data in the middle-latitude region. The application of this method in Qinghai Lake region reveals that it is feasible for the retrieval of Ts. Results of correlation analysis indicate that there was strong negative relationship between Ts and altitude. By analyzing three typical areas in which land cover was relatively homogenous, this paper discusses the relationship between Ts and normalized difference snow index （NDSI） and then presents a new concept named ＂NDSI-Ts space＂.
