天津市应用气象卫星资料进行冬小麦估产

NOAA卫星又称TIROS—N系列卫星,是美国国家海洋大气局控制和管理的第三代极轨道业务气象卫星,其主要传感器是高分辨率辐射仪(AVHRR)。AVHRR的通道1和2与陆地卫星MSS5,7吻合,能较好地表达绿色植被的吸收波段和对近红外的特征反射峰。NOAA卫星视场角大,覆盖度宽,又是双星运行,每天可两次过境,获得资料及时。而陆地卫星每16天覆盖一次,若遇阴雨天气,获得资料的周期更长。AVHRR像元面积大,可节省计算机处理时间和费用。所以,近几年来NOAA/AVHRR资料越来越广泛地被应用于植被动态监测和农作物估产。但是AVHRR空间分辨率为1.1公里,远低于MSS,限制了NOAA卫星的应用领域。天津市土地面积只有1731.5万亩,种植混杂,混合像元所占比例较大,致使低分辨率的图像难以反映作物长势。因此,NOAA/AVHRR信息

Agreement assessment of NOAA/AVHRR NDVI with Landsat TM NDVI for mapping burned forested areas

Meteorological satellites are appropriate for operational applications related to early warning, monitoring and damage assessment of forest fires. Environmental or resources satellites, with better spatial resolution than meteorological satellites, enable the delineation of the affected areas with a higher degree of accuracy. In this study, the agreement of two datasets, coming from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (NOAA/AVHRR) and Landsat TM, for the assessment of the burned area, was investigated. The study area comprises a forested area, burned during the forest fire of 21-24 July 1995 in Penteli, Attiki, Greece. Based on a colour composite image of Landsat TM a reference map of the burned area was produced. The scatterplot of the multitemporal Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) images, from both Landsat TM and NOAA/AVHRR sensors, was used to detect the spectral changes due to the removal of vegetation. The extracted burned area was compared to the digitized reference map. The synthesis of the maps was carried out using overlay techniques in a Geographic Information System (GIS). It is illustrated that the NOAA/AVHRR NDVI accuracy is comparable to that from Landsat TM data. As a result NOAA/AVHRR data can, operationally, be used for mapping the extent of the burned areas.     

NOAA-AVHRR NDVI decomposition and subpixel classification using linear mixing in the Argentinean Pampa

Crop Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time profiles and crop acreage estimates were derived from the application of linear mixture modelling to Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data over a test area in the southern part of the Pampa region, Argentina. Bands 1 and 2 from seven AVHRR scenes (June to January 1991) were combined to produce fraction images of winter crops, summer crops and pastures. A Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) scene of the region was classified and superimposed to the AVHRR Local Area Coverage (LAC) data by means of a correlation technique. Each class signature was extracted by regressing the AVHRR response on the cover types proportions, estimated from Landsat-TM data, over sets of calibration windows. The crop NDVI profiles were hence derived from the class signatures in bands 1 and 2. These profiles appeared consistent with the cover types, but variability depending on the set of windows was noted. The assessment of the class signatures was indirectly accomplished through the subpixel classifications of the AVHRR data, performed using the different sets of class spectra. Although some discrepancies between AVHRR and Landsat–TM estimates were observed at the individual window level, the classification results compared quite well on a regional scale with Landsat–TM estimates: crop acreage was estimated to an overall accuracy ranging from 89 to 95 per cent according to the spectra used in the classification. Definitely, the proposed methodology should permit a better exploitation of the temporal resolution of AVHRR data in both the areas of yield prediction and vegetation classification. Furthermore, the perational application of such a methodology for crop monitoring will undoubtedlybe facilitated with the coming sensor systems such as the ModerateResolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), the SPOT Vegetation Monitoring Instrument or the ‘Satelite Argentino Cientifico’ (SAC–C).

Dryland observation at local and regional scale — Comparison of Landsat TM/ETM+ and NOAA AVHRR time series

During the last few decades, many regions have experienced major land use transformations, often driven by human activities. Assessing and evaluating these changes requires consistent data over time at appropriate scales as provided by remote sensing imagery. Given the availability of small and large-scale observation systems that provide the required long-term records, it is important to understand the specific characteristics associated with both observation scales. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potentials and limits of remote sensing time series for change analysis of drylands. We focussed on the assessment and monitoring of land change processes using two scales of remote sensing data. Special interest was given to the influence of the spatial and temporal resolution of different sensors on the derivation of enhanced vegetation related variables, such as trends in time and the shift of phenological cycles. Time series of Landsat TM/ETM+ and NOAA AVHRR covering the overlapping time period from 1990 to 2000 were compared for a study area in the Mediterranean. The test site is located in Central Macedonia (Greece) and represents a typical heterogeneous Mediterranean landscape. It is undergoing extensification and intensification processes such as long-term, gradual processes driven by changing rangeland management and the extension of irrigated arable land. Time series analysis of NOAA AVHRRR and Landsat TM/ETM+ data showed that both sensors are able to detect this kind of land cover change in complementary ways. Thereby, the high temporal resolution of NOAA AVHRR data can partially compensate for the coarse spatial resolution because it allows enhanced time series methods like frequency analysis that provide complementary information. In contrast, the analysis of Landsat data was able to reveal changes at a fine spatial scale, which are associated with shifts in land management practice.     

Leaf area index mapping in northern Canada

Leaf area index (LAI) is an important structural vegetation parameter that is commonly derived from remotely sensed data. It has been used as a reliable indicator for vegetation's cover, status, health and productivity. In the past two decades, various Canada-wide LAI maps have been generated by the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS). These products have been produced using a variety of very coarse satellite data such as those from SPOT VGT and NOAA AVHRR satellite data. However, in these LAI products, the mapping of the Canadian northern vegetation has not been performed with field LAI measurements due in large part to scarce in situ measurements over northern biomes. The coarse resolution maps have been extensively used in Canada, but finer resolution LAI maps are needed over the northern Canadian ecozones, in particular for studying caribou habitats and feeding grounds.

In this study, a new LAI algorithm was developed with particular emphasis over northern Canada using a much finer resolution of remotely sensed data and in situ measurements collected over a wide range of northern arctic vegetation. A statistical relationship was developed between the in situ LAI measurements collected over vegetation plots in northern Canada and their corresponding pixel spectral information from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) data. Furthermore, all Landsat TM and ETM+ data have been pre-normalized to NOAA AVHRR and SPOT VGT data from the growing season of 2005 to reduce any seasonal or temporal variations. Various spectral vegetation indices developed from the Landsat TM and ETM?+?data were analysed in this study. The reduced simple ratio index (RSR) was found to be the most robust and an accurate estimator of LAI for northern arctic vegetation. An exponential relationship developed using the Theil–Sen regression technique showed an R ² of 0.51 between field LAI measurement and the RSR. The developed statistical relationship was applied to a pre-existing Landsat TM 250 m resolution mosaic for northern Canada to produce the final LAI map for northern Canada ecological zones. Furthermore, the 250 m resolution LAI estimates, per ecological zone, were almost generally lower than those of the CCRS Canada-wide VGT LAI maps for the same ecozones. Validation of the map with LAI field data from the 2008 season, not used in the derivation of the algorithm, shows strong agreement between the in situ LAI measurement values and the map-estimated LAI values.     

Mapping the regional extent of tropical forest regeneration stages in the Brazilian Legal Amazon using NOAA AVHRR data

The study aimed to map several stages of tropical forest regeneration across the Brazilian Legal Amazon using 1.1 km NOAA AVHRR data. Regenerating forest extent was defined using an unsupervised classification of AVHRR channels 1, 2 and 3 and the Global Environment Monitoring Index (GEMI). A method for discriminating four forest regeneration stages was then developed, based on relationships between AVHRR channels 1, 2 and 3 and forest age. This method was applied to AVHRR data to map forests associated with Stages I (early colonization phase, open canopy, < 5 years), II (closed, singlelayered canopy, 5-9 years), III (closed canopy with structural development, 9-20 years) and IV (closed multilayered canopy, > 20 years). The maps provided new regional estimates of regenerating forest for the Legal Amazon and indicated that, over the period 1991 to 1994, approximately 35.8% (157 973 km2) of the total deforested area of 440 186 km2 (estimated for 1992) supported regenerating forest, with 48% of these forests aged at less than 5 years. The study concluded that AVHRR data has an important role in mapping and monitoring tropical forest regeneration. The datasets generated provide valuable input to models of regional carbon flux. For example, Grace et al . (1995a, b) reported net annual CO2 absorption 8.5 2.0 moles m 2 for mature forests in south-west Amazonia suggesting
