Retrieval of land surface temperature from the Kalpana-1 VHRR data using a single-channel algorithm and its validation over western India

Indian geostationary satellite Kalpana-1 (K1) offers a potential to capture the diurnal cycle of land surface temperature (LST) through thermal infrared channel (10.5–12.5 μm) observations of the Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) sensor. A study was carried out to retrieve LST by adapting a generalized single-channel (SC) algorithm (Jiménez-Muñoz and Sobrino, 2003) for the VHRR sensor over India. The basis of SC algorithm depends on the concept of Atmospheric Functions (AFs) that are dependent on transmissivity, upwelling and downwelling radiances of the atmosphere. In the present study AFs were computed for the VHRR sensor through the MODTRAN simulations based upon varying atmospheric and surface inputs. The AFs were fitted with the atmospheric columnar water vapour content and a set of coefficients was derived for LST retrieval. The K1-LST derived with the SC algorithm was validated with (a) in situ measurements at two sites located in western parts of India and (b) the MODIS LST products. Comparison of K1-LST with the in situ measurements demonstrated that SC algorithm was successful in capturing the prominent diurnal variations of 283–332 K in the LST at desert and agriculture experimental sites with a rmse of 1.6 K and 2.7 K, respectively. Inter comparison of K1-LST and MODIS LST showed a reasonable agreement between these two retrievals up to LST of 300 K, however a cold bias up to 7.9 K was observed in MODIS LST for higher LST values (310–330 K) over the hot desert region.     

Retrieval of land surface temperature (LST) from landsat TM6 and TIRS data by single channel radiative transfer algorithm using satellite and ground-based inputs

The present study proposes land surface temperature (LST) retrieval from satellite-based thermal IR data by single channel radiative transfer algorithm using atmospheric correction parameters derived from satellite-based and in-situ data and land surface emissivity (LSE) derived by a hybrid LSE model. For example, atmospheric transmittance (τ) was derived from Terra MODIS spectral radiance in atmospheric window and absorption bands, whereas the atmospheric path radiance and sky radiance were estimated using satellite- and ground-based in-situ solar radiation, geographic location and observation conditions. The hybrid LSE model which is coupled with ground-based emissivity measurements is more versatile than the previous LSE models and yields improved emissivity values by knowledge-based approach. It uses NDVI-based and NDVI Threshold method (NDVI^THM) based algorithms and field-measured emissivity values. The model is applicable for dense vegetation cover, mixed vegetation cover, bare earth including coal mining related land surface classes. The study was conducted in a coalfield of India badly affected by coal fire for decades. In a coal fire affected coalfield, LST would provide precise temperature difference between thermally anomalous coal fire pixels and background pixels to facilitate coal fire detection and monitoring. The derived LST products of the present study were compared with radiant temperature images across some of the prominent coal fire locations in the study area by graphical means and by some standard mathematical dispersion coefficients such as coefficient of variation, coefficient of quartile deviation, coefficient of quartile deviation for 3rd quartile vs. maximum temperature, coefficient of mean deviation (about median) indicating significant increase in the temperature difference among the pixels. The average temperature slope between adjacent pixels, which increases the potential of coal fire pixel detection from background pixels, is significantly larger in the derived LST products than the corresponding radiant temperature images.     

A radiance-based split-window algorithm for land surface temperature retrieval: Theory and application to MODIS data

The split-window algorithm is the most commonly used method for land surface temperature (LST) retrieval from satellite data. Simplification of the Planck’s function, as an important step in developing the SWA, allows us to directly relate the radiance to the temperature toward solving the radiative transfer equation (RTE) set. In this study, Planck’s radiance relationship between two adjacent thermal infrared channels was modeled to solve the RTE set instead of simplification of the Planck’s function. A radiance-based split-window algorithm (RBSWA) was developed and applied to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. The performance of the RBSWA was assessed and compared with three most common brightness temperature-based split-window algorithms (BTBSWAs) by using the simulated data and satellite measurements. Simulation analysis showed that the LST retrieval using RBSWA had a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.5 K and achieved an improvement of 0.3 K compared with three BTBSWAs, and the LST retrieval accuracy using RBSWA was better than 1.5 K considering uncertainties in input parameters based on the sensitivity analysis. For application of RBSWA to MODIS data, the results showed that: 1) comparison between LST from MODIS LST product and LST retrieved using RBSWA showed a mean RMSE of 1.33 K for 108 groups of MODIS image covering continental US, which indicates RBSWA is reliable and robust; 2) when using the measurements from US surface radiation budget network as real values the RMSE of the RBSWA algorithm was 2.55 K and was slightly better than MODIS LST product; and 3) through the cross validation using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer LST product, the RMSE of the RBSWA algorithm was 2.23 K and was 0.28 K less than that of MODIS LST product. We conclude that the RBSWA for LST retrieval from MODIS data can attain a better accuracy than the BTBSWA.     

A review on remotely sensed land surface temperature anomaly as an earthquake precursor

The low predictability of earthquakes and the high uncertainty associated with their forecasts make earthquakes one of the worst natural calamities, capable of causing instant loss of life and property. Here, we discuss the studies reporting the observed anomalies in the satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) before an earthquake. We compile the conclusions of these studies and evaluate the use of remotely sensed LST anomalies as precursors of earthquakes. The arrival times and the amplitudes of the anomalies vary widely, thus making it difficult to consider them as universal markers to issue earthquake warnings. Based on the randomness in the observations of these precursors, we support employing a global-scale monitoring system to detect statistically robust anomalous geophysical signals prior to earthquakes before considering them as definite precursors.     

Hyperspectral imagery for disaggregation of land surface temperature with selected regression algorithms over different land use land cover scenes

Land surface temperature (LST), a key parameter in understanding thermal behavior of various terrestrial processes, changes rapidly and hence mapping and modeling its spatio-temporal evolution requires measurements at frequent intervals and finer resolutions. We designed a series of experiments for disaggregation of LST (DLST) derived from the Landsat ETM + thermal band using narrowband reflectance information derived from the EO1-Hyperion hyperspectral sensor and selected regression algorithms over three geographic locations with different climate and land use land cover (LULC) characteristics. The regression algorithms applied to this end were: partial least square regression (PLS), gradient boosting machine (GBM) and support vector machine (SVM). To understand the scale dependence of regression algorithms for predicting LST, we developed individual models (local models) at four spatial resolutions (480 m, 240 m, 120 m and 60 m) and tested the differences between these using RMSE derived from cross-validated samples. The sharpening capabilities of the models were assessed by predicting LST at finer resolutions using models developed at coarser spatial resolution. The results were also compared with LST produced by DisTrad sharpening model. It was found that scale dependence of the models is a function of the study area characteristics and regression algorithms. Considering the sharpening experiments, both GBM and SVM performed better than PLS which produced noisy LST at finer spatial resolutions. Based on the results, it can be concluded that GBM and SVM are more suitable algorithms for operational implementation of this application. These algorithms outperformed DisTrad model for heterogeneous landscapes with high variation in soil moisture content and photosynthetic activities. The variable importance measure derived from PLS and GBM provided insights about the characteristics of the relevant bands. The results indicate that wavelengths centered around 457, 671, 1488 and 2013–2083 nm are the most important in predicting LST. Nevertheless, further research is needed to improve the performance of regression algorithms when there is a large variability in LST and to examine the utility of narrowband vegetation indices to predict the LST. The benefits of this research may extend to applications such as monitoring urban heat island effect, volcanic activity and wildfire, estimating evapotranspiration and assessing drought severity.

近地表大气逆温条件下的地表温度遥感反演与验证

为了减少近地表大气逆温对地表温度遥感反演精度的影响,提出在晴空的地表温度"通用劈窗算法"模型中增加一个温度改正项来实现。在建立该误差改正项时,利用正常条件下的通用劈窗算法系数和具有不同逆温强度的逆温廓线,并结合大气辐射传输模型MODTRAN计算,得到近地表大气逆温条件下的地表温度反演误差,并在分析了该误差值与相应的逆温强度的关系后,发现该温度改正项可以表示为近地表大气逆温强度的二次项函数。为了进一步提高地表温度的反演精度,将地表温度和大气水汽含量进行分组,分别针对每个分组来确定温度改正项方程的系数。模拟结果表明,在逆温强度为1.7 K/100m时,该温度改正项可以使地表温度的反演精度提高0.44 K。利用内蒙古海拉尔试验站的实测数据对地表温度反演结果进行了验证,在近地表大气存在逆温的条件下,该方法能提高地表温度的遥感反演精度0.47K。但是,由于本文提出的方法需要已知大气温度廓线来计算大气逆温强度,因此在实际应用中该方法受到了一定的限制。

Developing a temporally land cover-based look-up table (TL-LUT) method for estimating land surface temperature based on AMSR-E data over the Chinese landmass

The land surface temperature (LST) is an important parameter when studying the interface between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. Compared to satellite thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing, passive microwave (PMW) remote sensing is better able to overcome atmospheric influences and to estimate the LST, especially in cloudy regions. However, methods for estimating PMW LSTs at the country and continental scales are still rare. The necessity of training such methods from a temporally dynamic perspective also needs further investigations. Here, a temporally land cover based look-up table (TL-LUT) method is proposed to estimate the LSTs from AMSR-E data over the Chinese landmass. In this method, the synergies between observations from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and AMSR-E (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS), which are onboard the same Aqua satellite, are explored. Validation with the synchronous MODIS LSTs demonstrates that the TL-LUT method has better performances in retrieving LSTs with AMSR-E data than the method that uses a single brightness temperature in 36.5 GHz vertical polarization channel. The accuracy of the TL-LUT method is better than 2.7 K for forest and 3.2 K for cropland. Its accuracy varies according to land cover type, time of day, and season. When compared with the in-situ measured LSTs at four sites without urban warming in the Tibet Plateau, the standard errors of estimation between the estimated AMSR-E LST and in-situ measured LST are from 5.1 K to 6.0 K in the daytime and 3.1 K to 4.5 K in the nighttime. Further comparison with the in-situ measured air temperatures at 24 meteorological stations confirms the good performance of the TL-LUT method. The feasibility of PMW remote sensing in estimating the LST for China can complement the TIR data and can, therefore, aid in the generation of daily LST maps for the entire country. Further study of the penetration of PMW radiation would benefit the LST estimations in barren and other sparsely vegetated environments.     

Agriculture pest and disease risk maps considering MSG satellite data and land surface temperature

Pest risk maps for agricultural use are usually constructed from data obtained from in-situ meteorological weather stations, which are relatively sparsely distributed and are often quite expensive to install and difficult to maintain. This leads to the creation of maps with relatively low spatial resolution, which are very much dependent on interpolation methodologies. Considering that agricultural applications typically require a more detailed scale analysis than has traditionally been available, remote sensing technology can offer better monitoring at increasing spatial and temporal resolutions, thereby, improving pest management results and reducing costs. This article uses ground temperature, or land surface temperature (LST), data distributed by EUMETSAT/LSASAF (with a spatial resolution of 3 × 3 km (nadir resolution) and a revisiting time of 15 min) to generate one of the most commonly used parameters in pest modeling and monitoring: “thermal integral over air temperature (accumulated degree-days)”. The results show a clear association between the accumulated LST values over a threshold and the accumulated values computed from meteorological stations over the same threshold (specific to a particular tomato pest). The results are very promising and enable the production of risk maps for agricultural pests with a degree of spatial and temporal detail that is difficult to achieve using in-situ meteorological stations.     

基于地震监测应用的地表温度和长波辐射数据对比分析

从数据本身特征及其应用2个方面对地震监测中常用的地表温度(land surface temperature,LST)和长波辐射(outgoing longwave radiation,OLR)数据进行了对比分析。利用全球数据进行的对比分析结果表明,2种数据在高纬度和中纬度地区具有空间分布上的一致性,但在赤道及低纬度地区则表现出明显差异,认为这一差异与云量分布关系密切;根据我国大陆的云量分布特点选择特征点进行LST和OLR的对比分析表明,云量大于65%的区域,二者的同步性较差,云量低于65%的区域,则同步性较好。据此,以同步性较好的青海地区和同步性较差的中南部区域为试验区,对比了2种数据的涡度计算结果。研究表明,在地震监测应用中,利用2种数据获得的地震异常信息在时、空、强特征上表现为相同或不同都是可能的,LST主要是对增温现象的反映,而OLR则侧重于对整个地-气系统异常的综合反映。     

AMSR-E地表温度数据重建深度学习方法

地表温度对于全球气候变化等研究具有重要意义。被动微波遥感传感器AMSR-E (Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for EOS)可以获得全天候地表温度,可作为多云条件下热红外地表温度数据的补充;但轨道扫描间隙限制了该数据在全球或区域尺度上的实际应用。鉴于地表温度的高时空异质性和AMSR-E LST轨道间隙数据的特点,本文提出了一种多时相特征连接卷积神经网络地表温度双向重建模型（MTFC-CNN）,利用深度学习在处理复杂非线性问题上的优势,重建轨道间隙区域的地表温度值。将2010年中国大陆四季的AMSR-E LST数据（数据未含港澳台区域）,分为白天和夜晚,形成共8个数据子集进行实验。在模拟实验中,重建结果与原始反演地表温度值平均均方根误差在1.0 K左右,决定系数R2在0.88以上,优于传统的样条空间插值和时间线性回归方法;真实实验结果具有较好的目视效果,且与对应MODIS LST产品对比发现,重建区LST值和未重建区LST值与MODIS LST产品间具有相近的平均均方根误差和决定系数。因此,本文提出的MTFC-CNN方法能有效重建AMSR-...

Land surface temperature as potential indicator of burn severity in forest Mediterranean ecosystems

Forest fires are one of the most important causes of environmental alteration in Mediterranean countries. Discrimination of different degrees of burn severity is critical for improving management of fire-affected areas. This paper aims to evaluate the usefulness of land surface temperature (LST) as potential indicator of burn severity. We used a large convention-dominated wildfire, which occurred on 19–21 September, 2012 in Northwestern Spain. From this area, a 1-year series of six LST images were generated from Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) data using a single channel algorithm. Further, the Composite Burn Index (CBI) was measured in 111 field plots to identify the burn severity level (low, moderate, and high). Evaluation of the potential relationship between post-fire LST and ground measured CBI was performed by both correlation analysis and regression models. Correlation coefficients were higher in the immediate post-fire LST images, but decreased during the fall of 2012 and increased again with a second maximum value in summer, 2013. A linear regression model between post-fire LST and CBI allowed us to represent spatially predicted CBI (R-squared_adj > 85%). After performing an analysis of variance (ANOVA) between post-fire LST and CBI, a Fisher's least significant difference test determined that two burn severity levels (low-moderate and high) could be statistically distinguished. The identification of such burn severity levels is sufficient and useful to forest managers. We conclude that summer post-fire LST from moderate resolution satellite data may be considered as a valuable indicator of burn severity for large fires in Mediterranean forest ecosytems.     

Land surface temperature and its impact factors in Western Sichuan Plateau,China

The understanding influence of multiple factors variations on land surface temperature (LST) remains elusive. LST was retrieved by the atmospheric correction algorithms. Based on the correlation coefficients, stepwise regression analysis was developed to examine how multiple factors variability led to LST variations. The differences in LST between impact factors vary depending on time in a day. The elevation and land use types significantly affect the LST in sunny slope or shadow areas has a significantly quadratic curve correlation or a negative linear correlation with it, the influence of slope and aspect is not very significant. LST for forestland, grassland and bare land in the sunny slope and shadow area was the cubic polynomial related to its elevation. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and normalized difference moisture index (NDMI) effectively express LST in mountainous. LST and NDMI or NDVI have a significantly negative correlation, NDMI is more effective and more applicable for the expression of LST.     

Contribution of Landsat 8 data for the estimation of land surface temperature in Batna city,Eastern Algeria

In this study, we presented a mono-window (MW) algorithm for land surface temperature retrieval from Landsat 8 TIRS. MW needs spectral radiance and emissivity of thermal infrared bands as input for deriving LST. The spectral radiance was estimated using band 10, and the surface emissivity value was derived with the help of NDVI and vegetation proportion parameters for which OLI bands 5 and 4 were used. The results in comparison with MODIS (MOD11A1) products indicated that the proposed algorithm is capable of retrieving accurate LST values, with a correlation coefficient of 0.850. The industrial area, public facilities and military area show higher surface temperature (more than 37 °C) in comparison with adjoining areas, while the green spaces in urban areas (34 °C) and forests (29 °C) were the cooler part of the city. These successful results obtained in the study could be used as an efficient method for the environmental impact assessment.     

多尺度地理加权回归的地表温度降尺度研究

由于星载热红外传感器研发技术的局限性,单一传感器尚不能提供兼具高频次、高空间分辨率地表温度数据。协同其他遥感辅助数据,对低空间分辨率、高时间频次地表温度产品开展降尺度研究成为了解决这一难题的有效途径。然而由于现有地表温度降尺度方法未充分考虑不同地表状态参数对地表温度空间分异格局的尺度影响差异,降尺度后的地表温度数据在异质性景观区域存在精度较差和空间纹理不清晰的问题。鉴于此,本文以北京和张掖地区的8期MODIS地表温度产品为例,通过引入多尺度地理加权回归MGWR（Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression）来分析归一化植被指数NDVI、数字高程模型DEM、坡度和经纬度对地表温度空间格局影响的尺度差异,提出一种针对MODIS地表温度产品的空间降尺度算法,并与TsHARP算法、多元线性回归算法、地理加权回归算法和随机森林回归算法进行定量对比。结果表明,基于MGWR模型的地表温度降尺度转换函数能够良好地揭示多种地表状态参数与地表温度间的不同作用关系,其中NDVI和坡度对地表温度分布具有全局影响,DEM和经纬度对地表温度呈现出了局域性作用。与4种代表性方法相比,基于MGWR算法降尺度后的100 m分辨率地表温度数据具有更好的空间纹理,在城镇和沙漠等温度异质性明显地区保障了清晰的景观纹理;另外,对于所选研究区的8期MODIS地表温度产品而言,利用MGWR算法降尺度后的地表温度均拥有更好的精度,在0—1 K误差级别下的面积占比均大于57%,均方根误差RMSE（Root-Mean-Square Error）均小于2.85 K,决定系数R²（coefficient of determination）均大于0.88。
