Soil moisture retrieving using hyperspectral data with the application of wavelet analysis

As a powerful tool, the wavelet transform method has been widely used in feature extraction for hyperspectral data, while few studies are focused on soil moisture retrieving. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for soil moisture retrieving. In this study, a total of 78 measurements of soil moisture and hyperspectral data were collected through soil sampling as well as laboratory quantitative control. There were 13 different mother wavelets capable of decomposing hyperspectral data that were recommended, along with six decomposition levels from 5 to 10. The performances of two feature extraction methods namely band selection and DWT were compared, using three indexes, i.e., R ², R _adj and root mean square error (RMSE) introduced to validate soil moisture retrieving results. The experimental results indicated that the wavelet transform method could significantly reduce the dimensionality of hyperspectral data, resulting in a much more effective performance. Among the 78 estimation models using the wavelet transform, there were 42 models superior to band selection, with 24 models yielding good correlations between the predicted soil moisture and the measured ones (R ² ≥ 0.7, RMSE ≤ 0.050, p ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, when the wavelet decomposition level was 9 and the mother wavelets were Daubechies 2, Daubechies 4, Reserve Biorthogonal 3.3 and Biorthogonal 6.8, the retrieving results were optimum. Additionally, the experimental results proved that the wavelet analysis technique was capable of preserving high- and low-frequency spectral information at different decomposition scales, and could correctly reflect the variation of soil moisture. Thus, it would be helpful in further environmental monitoring.     

Comparison of two split-window methods for retrieving land surface temperature from MODIS data

Land surface temperature (LST) is a key parameter in environment and earth science study, especially for monitoring drought. The objective of this work is a comparison of two split-window methods: Mao method and Sobrino method, for retrieving LST using MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) data in North China Plain. The results show that the max, min and mean errors of Mao method are 1.33K, 1.54K and 0.13K lower than the standard LST product respectively; while those of Sobrino method are 0.73K, 1.46K and 1.50K higher than the standard respectively. Validation of the two methods using LST product based on weather stations shows a good agreement between the standard and Sobrino method, with RMSE of 1.17K, whereas RMSE of Mao method is 1.85K. Finally, the study introduces the Sobmao method, which is based on Sobrino method but simplifies the estimation of atmospheric water vapour content using Mao method. The Sobmao method has almost the same accuracy with Sobrino method. With high accuracy and simplification of water vapour content estimation, the Sobmao method is recommendable in LST inversion for good application in Ningxia region, the northwest China, with mean error of 0.33K and the RMSE value of 0.91K.     

On the design of paleoenvironmental data networks for estimating large-scale patterns of climate

Guidelines are determined for the spatial density and location of climatic variables (temperature and precipitation) that are appropriate for estimating the continental- to hemispheric-scale pattern of atmospheric circulation (sea-level pressure). Because instrumental records of temperature and precipitation simulate the climatic information that is contained in certain paleoenvironmental records (tree-ring, pollen, and written-documentary records, for example), these guidelines provide useful sampling strategies for reconstructing the pattern of atmospheric circulation from paleoenvironmental records. The statistical analysis uses a multiple linear regression model. The sampling strategies consist of changes in site density (from 0.5 to 2.5 sites per million square kilometers) and site location (from western North American sites only to sites in Japan, North America, and western Europe) of the climatic data. The results showed that the accuracy of specification of the pattern of sea-level pressure: (1) is improved if sites with climatic records are spread as uniformly as possible over the area of interest; (2) increases with increasing site density-at least up to the maximum site density used in this study; (3) is improved if sites cover an area that extends considerably beyond the limits of the area of interest. The accuracy of specification was lower for independent data than for the data that were used to develop the regression model; some skill was found for almost all sampling strategies.     

Visualisation strategies for environmental modelling data

We present a framework that allows users to apply a number of strategies to view and modify a wide range of environmental data sets for the modelling of natural phenomena. These data sets can be concurrently visualised to find inconsistencies or artefacts. This ensures at an early stage that models set up for the simulation of hydrological or thermal processes will not give implausible results due to complications based on input data. A number of generally applicable visualisation techniques are provided by our framework to help researchers detect potential problems. We also propose a number of mapping algorithms for the integration of multiple data sets to resolve some of the most common issues. Techniques for the presentation of input- and modelling data in combination with simulation results are proposed with respect to the benefits of visualisation of environmental data within specialised environments. The complete workflow from input data to presentation is demonstrated based on a case study in Central Germany. We identify typical problems, propose approaches for a suitable data integration for this case study and compare results of the original and modified data sets.

Sand movement patterns in the Western Desert of Egypt: an environmental concern

Wind action is the most dominant agent for erosion and deposition in the vast Western Desert of Egypt. Analysis of wind data from seven meteorological stations distributed along the Western Desert reveals that this desert is characterized by high-energy wind environments along the northern and southern edges and low-energy wind environments throughout the rest of the desert. Accordingly, sand drift potential follows the pattern of wind energy. Maximum sand drift potential was observed at the southern edge (571 vector units, which equals 40 m³/m width/year). Sand drift direction was observed towards the southeast except at the southern part of the desert where the trend of sand movement was towards southwest. The major dune type recognized on satellite images was the simple linear type. Linear dunes are generally associated with bimodal wind regime. Rates of sand drift potential and sand dune migration were greatest at East of Owinate region at the extreme southern part of the desert. Measurements of crescentic sand dune advance from two satellite images reveal a maximum advance rate of about 9 m/year at the southern part of the desert. Dune movement creates potential hazard to the infrastructures in this open desert.

Using soil survey data for series-level environmental phosphorus risk assessment

Choosing soil series scale for assessing phosphorus (P) retention and release characteristics may help relate routinely collected series-specific soil survey data with P retention and aid in designing series-specific P management strategies. Phosphorus retention and release characteristics of pedons collected from two benchmark upland soil series (Berks and Monongahela) and two floodplain (Huntington and Lindside) soil series of West Virginia (USA) were assessed by evaluating P sorption capacity (PSC, Langmuir method) and its major determinants, and effect of different levels of degree of P saturation (DPS) and soil test P (STP, Mehlich-1 P) on the desorbable P (0.01 M CaCl₂-extractable) concentrations. The PSC of the two floodplain soils, Huntington and Lindside, was similar but lower than PSC of upland Berks and Monongahela soils. However, thicker A horizons of Huntington and Lindside soils may compensate for their lower PSC. The B horizons exhibited higher PSC than A horizons. However, slow permeability and thinness of such horizons may discount the higher PSC effect. Relationship of PSC with ammonium oxalate extractable Al (AOX-Al) and Fe (AOX-Fe), dithionite–citrate–bicarbonate extractable Al (DCB-Al) and Fe (DCB-Fe), total C, clay content, and pH [soil:water ratio 1:1 (pH-water) and soil:0.01 M CaCl₂ solution ratio 1:2 (pH-CaCl₂)] showed that in general all except Fe and total C influenced PSC significantly. Aluminum associated with crystalline clay minerals particularly affected PSC, especially of upland soils. Most of the soils did not release considerable P even beyond the conventional critical limit of 25 % DPS for well-drained soils. DPS-desorbable P relationships, though, reflected poor reliability of DPS as an environmental index. At a given DPS and STP, surface horizons released more P than their subsurface counterparts and thus reflected the net sink character of subsurface horizons. Most of the soils did not show considerable release of P even beyond agronomically high STP levels (>23 mg kg^?1). The study provides an economical alternative to time and money-intensive lysimetric studies for assessing subsurface P loss. It reveals the workability of integrating environmental P studies with soil survey data and superiority of integrated assessment of environmental indices of P over the use of any single index.     

Automatic identification of fake patterns caused by short-width wavelets in seismic data

Despite the popularity of using the Haar wavelet filter in many applications, it sometimes introduces fake patterns into the multi resolution analysis (MRA) of seismic data. In this work, we compared different wavelet filters to demonstrate that these patterns are fake and not part of the original waveforms and to show that they are a result of using the Haar wavelet filter as a short-width wavelet. To achieve this, many seismic waveforms from two different sources: the Egyptian National Seismic Network (ENSN) and the High Sensitivity Seismograph Network Japan (Hi-net) are used with different wavelet filters. We propose an algorithm based on an autoregressive (AR) model to detect these patterns automatically and fully.     

Lateral lithospheric conductivity patterns,from European synchronous observatory data

Much information on the regional lithospheric structure may come from MTS data acquired by synchronous 2D arrays and processed with regard to the nonlocal response of a laterally inhomogeneous subsurface. We suggest to invert the nonlocal MT responses applying correlation of all surface horizontal and vertical components of the geomagnetic field recorded simultaneously at all stations. The inversion algorithm has been applied to 2004–2005 European observatory data of diurnal S_q variations for first five harmonics and yielded lateral conductivity patterns for different periods. The maps show spatial correlation between conductivity maxima and lithospheric thickness minima and, specifically, highlight the contours of the Pannonian basin, where lithosphere is as thin as ～50 km, from seismic data.     

Assessment of cadmium contamination in the sediments of Changjiang （Yangtze） River by reflectance spectroscopy

The Takab area in NW of Iran is an important gold mineralized region with a long history of gold mining. In this study ASTER data is used to evaluate environmental effects of gold mining. The results show that mining activities have resulted in release of potentially toxic metals （PTMs） in the area. Principal component analysis （PCA） of ASTER data is used to map sources of PTMs and their secondary hosts （iron oxides） through alteration mapping. The results show that selective PCA is a robust yet time consuming technique for alteration mapping. A color composite is created for finding common hydrothermally altered rocks. The created color composite successfully mapped the known deposits and anomalous areas identified by geological survey of Iran. Because of the low spatial resolution of ASTER sensor, the iron oxide mapping is restricted to the wider portions of the streams. Spectral analyses confirm the presence of hematite and goethite in stream sediments. This is in accordance with measured pH values.     

Study of groundwaters using the environmental tritium and hydrochemical data in the Belgrade region

A study of tritium content and some physicochemical parameters has been performed in order to investigate interconnection between surface and atmospheric waters and underground waters in Belgrade area. Samples of the precipitation at Zeleno Brdo-Belgrade meteorological station, the Danube and the Sava river water, and underground water (Ranney wells and piezometers) have been analyzed. The³H content, the content of dissolved ions, total hardness, and electrical conductivity have been measured. The tritium data show existence of two water strata in the aquifer. The upper stratum (about 16 m thick) contains older water (mean monthly³H concentration of 17 TU) and has weak interaction with the river and the precipitation. Below this stratum lies the principal water bearing stratum, strongly connected with the river with the³H concentration similar to that of surface water (mean monthly³H concentration of 50 TU) and spreading out through the entire aquifer. The contribution of the Sava river water and the two water layers at the Ranney well are calculated starting with the hydrological aquifer model, which supposes that three water components are mixed in the pumped Ranney well water. According to calculation results using the³H concentration and physicochemical characteristics as parameters, more than 70 percent of the water pumped by the Ranney well (in 1983) comes from the Sava with a time delay of less that 15 days.Properties of tritium distribution in precipitation, river waters, and underground water in the Belgrade region are established from the results of measurements of³H concentrations in the period 1976–1983.
