氯化钠盐土壤介电虚部特性的初步研究

含水含盐土壤的介电虚部模型是土壤含水量含盐量的函数。通过一系列关系研究：介电常数虚部ε＂，土壤导电率σa，土壤溶液导电率σw，土壤溶液离子浓度SMv，含盐量S，最终得到介电常数虚部ε＂和土壤含水量Mv。含盐量S的关系，即土壤介电模型。通过微波网络仪，对150组具有不同含水含盐量的土壤，在频率范围0．2-20GHz（频率取样间隔为0．05GHz）进行介电常数测量。在不同频率下，利用这些实测数据通过最佳拟合的方法确定土壤介电模型中的待定参数，从而得到不同频率时土壤介电虚部经验模型。另外，利用吉兰泰地区41个含盐土壤样品进行模型验证，结果表明，模型计算值与测量值高度相关。最后得出：（1）含盐量对介电常数虚部的影响随频率增大而降低；（2）土壤类型和介电常数虚部几乎没有相关性。     

基于IEM模拟的干旱区多时相数据含水含盐量反演模型及分析

根据干旱区的一些自然地理特征，利用IEM模型生成干旱区的多时相（少雨期、多雨期）后向散射数据，然后对数据进行统计分析。一方面印证了多雨期与少雨期后向散射差（αwet^0-αdry^0）与土壤介电常数高度相关的实验观察；另外一方面根据大量的模拟数据找到确切的（αwet^0-αdry^0）与土壤介电常数的关系。最后对盐渍化干旱区的情况（有的干旱区有严重的盐渍化）进行了探讨，发现后向散射系数差（αwet^0-αdry^0）与大介电常数虚部差成较好的线性关系，这为反演土壤含盐量提供了一定依据，但由于介电常数虚部是由含水含盐量两个量决定的，所以要直接反演出含水含盐量还需要进一步研究。     

土壤有机物质对土壤介电常数的影响

土壤介电常数是开展微波土壤水分和冻融状态的监测的基础,也是植被和积雪的下垫面边界条件,然而目前已有的介电常数研究都没有对高有机质含量的土壤开展系统观测。本文将土壤中的自然有机物质分为腐殖质和植物性残留物两类。采用控制变量实验方法,通过测量5种不同有机质含量的东北黑土和加入不同比例毛白杨碎屑的扁都口草甸土,研究了腐殖质和植物性残留物的对土壤介电常数的影响。结果表明,腐殖质会降低干燥土壤的容重,从而发挥间接作用,使介电常数降低;而对于相同容重下观测的潮湿土壤,腐殖质含量较多的土壤介电常数更大。与Dobson模型的比较显示,在29℃室温下,腐殖质对25%重量含水量潮湿土壤实部的影响在±2左右,虚部能达到1。与腐殖质相比,植物性残留物对风干土壤和潮湿土壤的影响都十分明显。植物性残留物能有效地疏松土壤并代入植物组分的介电特征。当重量含水量为30%时,含毛白杨含量为20%的混合土壤比纯扁都口土壤在实部平均减小3—7左右,虚部减小 1—3左右。因此,根据实验观测以及和模型的比较,土壤中的有机物质会改变土壤介电性质,对微波遥感造成影响。

A comparative study of different dielectric models—computation of representative dielectric profiles of black soils

The dielectric property of the soil is an important parameter for microwave remote sensing. Therefore an attempt is made to study and compare the models for the dielectric constant of moist soils by considering three soil types namely Haldi series (sandy loam), Hathiapathar series (silt loam) and Jambria series (clay) and at frequencies 1.4, 4.0 and 18.0 GHz. The semiempirical models of Wang et al. (1980) and Dobson et al (1985) predict more or les same results in the domain of their applicability. However, at lower frequencies below 1.0 GHz, the imaginary part of dielectric constant shows a decreasing trend with decreasing frequency for Wang et al (1980) model whereas it shows reverse trend for Dobson et al (1985) model. The soil texture and frequency dependence of dielectric constant have been investigated for Indian soils. Some of the representative dielectric profiles of black soils of Pune have been computed using semiempirical model of Dobson et al (1985) which are useful for the development of multifrequency models for the study of soil moisture.     

Soil Moisture Estimation in a Vegetated Area Using Combination of AIRSAR and Landsat5-TM Images

High difference between dielectric constant of water (dielectric constant about 80) and dielectric constant of dried soil (dielectric constant about 2–3) makes Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) highly capable in soil moisture estimation. However, there are other factors which affect on radar backscattering coefficient. The most important parameters are vegetation cover, surface roughness and sensor parameters (frequency, polarization and incidence angle). In this paper, the importance of considering the effects of these parameters on SAR backscatter coefficients is shown by comparing different soil moisture estimation models. Moreover, an experimental soil moisture estimation model is developed. It is shown that this model can be used to estimate soil moisture under a variety of vegetation cover densities. The new developed model is based on combination of different indices derived from Landsat5-Thematic Mapper and AIRSAR images. The AIRSAR image is used for extraction of backscattering coefficient and incidence angle while TM image is used for calculation of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and Brightness Temperature. Then a soil moisture estimation model which is named as Hybrid model is developed based on integration of all of these parameters. The accuracies of this model are assessed in the NDVI ranges of 0–0.2, 0.2–0.4 and 0.4–0.7 by using SAR data in C band and L band frequencies and also in different polarizations of HH, HV, VV and TP. The results show that for instance in L band with HV polarization, R-square values of 0.728, 0.628 and 0.527 are obtained between ground measured soil moisture and estimated soil moisture values using the Hybrid model for NDVI ranges of 0–0.2, 0.2–0.4 and 0.4–0.7, respectively.

土壤水分的遥感监测方法

本文讨论了用雷达图像散射系数法、NOAA-AVHRR数字图像热惯量法和作物缺水指数法监测土壤水分的结果,并将这些方法与常规气象方法、绿度指数法和温差法监测土壤水分的效果进行了比较和评价。结果表明,微波遥感监测土壤水分有广阔的应用前景,但必须深入开展基础研究。在我国目前情况下,采用NOAA-AVHRR数字图像及有关气象数据计算热惯量、作物蒸散和缺水指数,从而估算土壤水分的方法是一种比较切实可行的方法。     

综合主动和被动微波数据监测土壤水分变化

微波遥感测量土壤水分的方法主要分主动和被动两种，它们都是基于干燥土壤和水体之间介电常数的巨大差异。估算植被覆盖土壤表面土壤水分必须要考虑地表粗糙度和植被覆盖影响的问题。植被覆盖土壤表面的后向散射包括来自植被的体散射，来自地表的面散射和植被与地表间的交互作用散射项。本研究建立了一个半经验公式模型，用来计算体散射项，综合时间序列的主动和被动微波数据，消除植被覆盖的影响，估算地表土壤水分的变化状况。并应用1997年美国SGP‘97综合实验中的机载800m分辨辐射计ESTAR数据计算表面反射系数，综合Radarsat的SCAN-SAR数据得到体散射项，然后，由NOAA/AVHRR和TM计算得到的NDVI值加权分配50m分辨率的体散射项，最后计算50m分辨率的表面反射系数的变化值，从而得到土壤水分的变化情况，验证数据表明该计算结果与实测值一致。     

Earth observations during space shuttle mission STS‐34: 18–23 October 1989

Abstract

Although high‐resolution microwave synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors possess all‐weather capability for mapping soil moisture from spaceborne platforms, continuous temporal and spatial monitoring of this important hydrological parameter has been relatively limited. However, the recent launch of operational SAR sensors aboard various satellites have made possible synoptic soil moisture monitoring a reality. Such systems operate over a wide range of frequencies, look angles, and polarization combinations, and thus show synergistic advantages when combined for estimating soil moisture patterns. Two soil moisture inversion algorithms have been developed using as inputs radar backscattering data at L, S, and C bands in the microwave frequency range. These models have been tested using radar image simulation with speckle added. It is observed that the neural network algorithm yields superior results in mapping actual soil moisture patterns over the linear statistical inversion technique, although both models show comparable errors in soil moisture estimation. We infer that using statistical estimation errors alone for comparison purposes may lead to erroneous conclusions regarding the advantages of one soil moisture inversion algorithm over another.     

Influence of surface and vegetation characteristics on C-band radar measurements for soil moisture content

Soil moisture estimation using microwave remote sensing faces challenges of the segregation of influences mainly from roughness and vegetation. Under static surface conditions, it was found that Radarsat C-band SAR shows reasonably good correlation and sensitivity with changing soil moisture. Dynamic surface and vegetation conditions are supposed to result in a substantial reduction in radar sensitivity to soil moisture. A C-band scatterometer system (5.2 GHz) with a multi-polarization and multi-angular configuration was used 12 times to sense the soil moisture over a tall vegetated grass field. A score of vegetation and soil parameters were recorded on every occasion of the experiment. Three radar backscattering models Viz., Integral Equation Model (IEM), an empirical model and a volume scattering model, have been used to predict the backscattering phenomena. The volume scattering model, using the Distorted Born Approximation, is found to predict the backscattering phenomena reasonably well. But the surface scattering models are expectedly found to be inadequate for the purpose. The temporal variation of soil moisture does show good empirical relationship with the observed radar backscattering. But as the vegetation biomass increases, the radar shows higher sensitivity to the vegetation parameters compared to surface characteristics. A sensitivity analysis of the volume scattering model for all the parameters also reveals that the radar is more sensitive to plant parameters under high biomass conditions, particularly vegetation water content, but the sensitivity to surface characteristics, particularly to soil moisture, is also appreciable.

Modelling electrical conductivity of soil from backscattering coefficient of microwave remotely sensed data using artificial neural network

Soil salinity is one of the main agricultural problems which expand to larger areas. Soil scientists categorize salinity level by electrical conductivity (EC) measurement. However, field measurements of EC require extensive time, cost and experiences. Remote sensing is one suitable option to investigate and collect spatial data in larger areas. Many researches estimated soil moisture through microwave, but there are fewer studies which mentioned about direct relationship between EC and backscattering coefficient (BC). Thus, this study aims to propose the estimation of EC directly from BC of microwave. The relationship between EC obtained from field survey and BC from microwave is non-linear, artificial neural network (ANN) is one technique proposed in this study to figure out EC and BC relationship. ANN uses multilayer of interconnected processing resulting in EC value with high accuracy which is acceptable. For this reason, ANN model can be successfully utilized as an effective tool for EC estimation from microwave.
