DEM流域网络提取算法的误差特性分析

流域网络及其描述参数是一类重要的环境参数,其质量直接影响着各类地学模型和地学过程模拟的精度。在数据独立的DEM误差分析方法支持下,以比汇水面积(Specific catchment area,SCA)为计算对象,详细分析5种流域网络提取算法的误差空间分布特征。研究表明,不论何种算法,SCA误差主要集中于合水区域;不同算法的SCA频率分布随着SCA值的增加而趋于一致;SCA精度的提高有赖于DEM路径算法的改进,不同路经算法的组合可有效改善流域网络提取和分析的质量。     

An improved dark object method to retrieve 500 m-resolution AOT (Aerosol Optical Thickness) image from MODIS data: A case study in the Pearl River Delta area,China

This paper presents an improved Dark Dense Vegetation (DDV) method for retrieving 500 m-resolution aerosol optical depth (AOT) based on MOD04-C005 arithmetic with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The improvements include change of the movement pattern of retrieval window, selection of a more suitable aerosol type, and storage of the look-up table. The method is then applied to obtain the AOT over the Pearl River Delta region (PRD). By comparing the results with the co-temporal ground sunphotometer observations in 2010, the correlation coefficient is found to be 0.794 with RMSE 0.139 and their variations remain consistent. Contrasts between model values in 2008 and MODIS AOT products in the same date also reveal a high accuracy of the improved DDV method. We also performed sensitivity tests to analyze the impacts of several parameters on apparent reflectance at different bands, and the results show that apparent reflectance is much more sensitive to surface reflectance and AOT than to elevation.
