The coarse resolution satellite data have been widely used for regional and global studies as they provide high temporal frequency. The information contained in the coarse resolution pixels are mostly mixture of several components. The extraction of information contained in a pixel find its role in Geosphere-Biosphere context. The present study address the utility of constrained least square model applied to coarse spatial resolution data from NOAA-AVHRR for generating fraction images of vegetation, soil and water/shade. The red and near-infrared channels have been used to run the constrained least square model to generate fraction images. The derived fraction images are related to normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) for model validation. The results suggest that vegetation fraction components are strongly correlated with NDVI values (r2=0.98). The soil fractions (r2=?0.84) and water/shade fractions (42=?0.97) are negatively correlated with NDVI. The relationship between the fraction images and NDVI show the potential of the model in deriving sub-pixel component information using coarse resolution data. 相似文献

In the studies reteted to surface energy balance, satellite data provides important inputs for estimating regional surface albedo and evapotranspiration. The paper describes the use of satellite data in determining the surface emissivity over heterogeneous a’reas by taking Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as modulating parameter at pixel resolution. The estimated emissivity values have been used to find the surface temperature at the pixel scale. Landsat-TM-visible, NIR, TIR bands data and some ground meteorological data have been used in an energy balance model for estimating surface albedo and evapotranspiration. The ET values derived from the model are in good agreement with the values obtained with. ‘CENTURY MODEL’ and ground observations over the area, suggesting the possible use of this approach fot regional scale studies on evapotranspiration. 相似文献

Spectral aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements, carried out regularly from a network of observatories spread over the Indian mainland and adjoining islands in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea, are used to examine the spatio-temporal and spectral variations during the period of ICARB (March to May 2006). The AODs and the derived Ångström parameters showed considerable variations across India during the above period. While at the southern peninsular stations the AODs decreased towards May after a peak in April, in the north Indian regions they increased continuously from March to May. The Ångström coefficients suggested enhanced coarse mode loading in the north Indian regions, compared to southern India. Nevertheless, as months progressed from March to May, the dominance of coarse mode aerosols increased in the columnar aerosol size spectrum over the entire Indian mainland, maintaining the regional distinctiveness. Compared to the above, the island stations showed considerably low AODs, so too the northeastern station Dibrugarh, indicating the prevalence of cleaner environment. Long-range transport of aerosols from tshe adjoining regions leads to remarkable changes in the magnitude of the AODs and their wavelength dependencies during March to May. HYSPLIT back-trajectory analysis shows that enhanced long-range transport of aerosols, particularly from the west Asia and northwest coastal India, contributed significantly to the enhancement of AOD and in the flattening of the spectra over entire regions; if it is the peninsular regions and the island Minicoy are more impacted in April, the north Indian regions including the Indo Gangetic Plain get affected the most during May, with the AODs soaring as high as 1.0 at 500 nm. Over the islands, the Ångström exponent (α) remained significantly lower (~1) over the Arabian Sea compared to Bay of Bengal (BoB) (~1.4) as revealed by the data respectively from Minicoy and Port Blair. Occurrences of higher values of α, showing dominance of accumulation mode aerosols, over BoB are associated well with the advection, above the boundary layer, of fine particles from the east Asian region during March and April. The change in the airmass to marine in May results in a rapid decrease in α over the BoB. 相似文献

Generation of fire danger maps play a vital role in forest fire management like forest fire research, locating lookout towers,
risk assessment and for various other simulation studies. The present study addresses remote sensing and GIS applications
in generating fire danger maps for tropical deciduous forests. Fire danger variables such as fuel type, topography, temperature,
and relative humidity have been used in modeling fire danger. Information on local climate patterns and past fire records
has been used to derive fire frequency map of the study area. Intermediate indices were derived using multiple regressions,
where fire frequency data is taken as dependent variable. Results indicate that forests near human settlements are more vulnerable
to forest fires. 相似文献

Carbon monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3) and Black Carbon (BC) aerosol mass concentrations in relation to planetary boundary layer (PBL) height measurements were
analyzed from January–December, 2008 over tropical urban environment of Hyderabad, India. DMSP-OLS night-time satellite data
were analyzed for fire occurrence over the region and its correlation with pollution concentrations over the urban region.
Results of the study suggested considerable increase in CO and BC concentrations during early morning hours. Higher concentration
of BC, CO and ozone was observed during pre-monsoon, post-monsoon and winter and lowest concentrations exhibited during monsoon
season. NCEP/NCAR reanalysis winds suggested long range transport of aerosols and trace gases from forest fires are enhancing
the pollutant concentrations over the study area. 相似文献

Continuous and campaign-based aerosol field measurements are essential in understanding fundamental atmospheric aerosol processes and for evaluating their effect on global climate, environment and human life. Synchronous measurements of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Black Carbon (BC) aerosol mass concentration and aerosol particle size distribution were carried out during the campaign period at tropical urban regions of Hyderabad, India. Daily satellite datasets of DMSP-OLS were processed for night-time forest fires over the Indian region in order to understand the additional sources (forest fires) of aerosol. The higher values in black carbon aerosol mass concentration and aerosol optical depth correlated well with forest fires occurring over the region. Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) aerosol index (AI) variations showed absorbing aerosols over the region and correlated with ground measurements. 相似文献

Summary Leaf phenology describes the seasonal cycle of leaf functioning and is essential for understanding the interactions between
the biosphere, the climate and the atmosphere. In this study, we characterized the spatial patterns in phenological variations
in eight contrasting forest types in an Indian region using coarse resolution NOAA AVHRR satellite data. The onset, offset
and growing season length for different forest types has been estimated using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI).
Further, the relationship between NDVI and climatic parameters has been assessed to determine which climatic variable (temperature
or precipitation) best explain variation in NDVI. In addition, we also assessed how quickly and over what time periods does
NDVI respond to different precipitation events. Our results suggested strong spatial variability in NDVI metrics for different
forest types. Among the eight forest types, tropical dry deciduous forests showed lowest values for summed NDVI (SNDVI), averaged
NDVI (ANDVI) and integrated NDVI (I-NDVI), while the tropical wet evergreen forests of Arunachal Pradesh had highest values.
Within the different evergreen forest types, SNDVI, ANDVI and INDVI were highest for tropical wet evergreen forests, followed
by tropical evergreen forests, tropical semi-evergreen forests and were least for tropical dry evergreen forests. Differences
in the amplitude of NDVI were quite distinct for evergreen forests compared to deciduous ones and mixed deciduous forests.
Although, all the evergreen forests studied had a similar growing season length of 270 days, the onset and offset dates were
quite different. Response of vegetative greenness to climatic variability appeared to vary with vegetation characteristics
and forest types. Linear correlations between mean monthly NDVI and temperature were found to yield negative relationships
in contrast to precipitation, which showed a significant positive response to vegetation greenness. The correlations improved
much for different forest types when the log of cumulative rainfall was correlated against mean monthly NDVI. Of the eight
forest types, the NDVI for six forest types was positively correlated with the logarithm of cumulative rainfall that was summed
for 3–4 months. Overall, this study identifies precipitation as a major control for vegetation greenness in tropical forests,
more so than temperature. 相似文献

This study focuses on the determination of optical depths caused by ozone and trace gases absorption in the Chappuis band, 500–700 nm, and the contribution to the Total Minus Rayleigh Optical Depth (TMROD). The optical depths were derived using the transmission functions implemented in the SMARTS parametric model, while the Total Optical Depths (TODs) were derived by solar extinction measurements obtained in Athens during May 1995. From the data analysis it is obvious that both the ozone and trace gases contribute significantly to TMROD in the Chappuis band. More specifically, the trace gases contributions are higher for air with high pollution levels, while ozone's contribution can be significant under clear-sky conditions. Therefore, the correction in TMROD due to ozone and trace gases optical depths is necessary for an accurate determination of the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) in the Chappuis band. The optical depth of ozone is generally removed during the process of the AOD retrievals, since the significance of its absorption in the Chappuis band is well understood. Nevertheless, the optical depth of the trace gases (mainly NO2) is not always taken into account in the AOD retrievals, though its contribution can be significant in urban polluted atmospheres. In this respect, the present study attempts to quantify the ozone and trace gases contributions in an urban environment and to provide some new functions that help estimate the contribution of ozone to the TMROD in the Chappuis band. 相似文献

Satellite data provides important inputs far estimating regional surface emisslviiy and surface temperature. The methodology for estimation of emissivity over heterogeneous areas is based on the calculation of fraction vegetation cover per pixel taking NDVI, reflectances of pure pixels as input. The surface temperature is calculated using a sptit-window equation, which depends on atmospheric water vapour, viewing angle and channel surface emissivities. In the present study model coefficients for atmospheric corrections to NOAA AVHRR thermal data Fqr tropical atmospheres have been derived with a view to operationally use the methodolpgy for generating land surface temperature information from satellite data. The results of the study show that the estimated temperature values are comparable with the ctimatological values over the region Suggesting the possible use of the methodology. 相似文献
