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

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

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

Measurements of total ozone column and solar UV radiation under different atmospheric conditions are needed to define variations
of both UV and ozone and to study the impact of ozone depletion at the Earth’s surface. In this study, spectral and broadband
measurements of UV-B irradiance were obtained along with total ozone observations and aerosol optical depth measurements in
the tropical urban region of Hyderabad, south India. We specifically used an Ultra-Violet Multifilter Rotating Shadow band
Radiometer (UVMFR-SR), to measure UV irradiance in time and space. To assess the aerosol and O3 effects on ground-reaching UV irradiance, we used measurements from a Microtops II sun photometer in addition to the Tropospheric
Ultraviolet Visible radiation (TUV) model. We also assessed the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program – Operational Line
Scanner (DMSP-OLS) night time satellite data for inferring biomass burning fires during the study period. Results clearly
suggested a negative correlation between the DMSP-OLS satellite derived fire count data and UVMFR-SR data suggesting that
aerosols from biomass burning are directly attenuating UV irradiance in the study region. Also, correlation analysis between
UV index and ozone measurements from sun photometer and TOMS-Ozone Mapping Instrument (OMI) indicated a clear decrease in
ground reaching UV-B irradiance during higher ozone conditions. The higher levels are attributed to photochemical production
of O3 during the oxidation of trace gases emitted from biomass burning. Results also suggested a relatively high attenuation in
UV irradiance (~6% higher) from smoke particles than dust. We also found a relatively good agreement between the modeled (TUV)
and measured UV irradiance spectra for different atmospheric conditions. Our results highlight the factors affecting UV irradiance
in a tropical urban environment, south India. 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

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

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

Abstract Studies on land surface processes using remote sensing data gains importance in the context of Geosphere Biosphere Programme. Present study addresses the applicability of split‐window method, in a tropical environment for mapping of surface temperature over heterogeneous surface from satellite data. The accuracy of the method is about +2.2°K, which is reasonable value taking into account the atmospheric attenuation in tropical environment. An attempt has been made to derive emissivity from normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) by taking into account the fraction of vegetation cover of each pixel, which is determined by satellite data. The emissivity values estimated from satellite data found to be in reasonable agreement with an estimated error of less than 1%. The results of the study indicate the potential use of NDVI as a modulating parameter in the land surface temperature estimation from satellite data. 相似文献
