融合FY-3C号和FY-4A号卫星数据的积雪面积变化研究—以祁连山区为例

祁连山区积雪类型丰富、判识复杂,是中国积雪研究的典型区域。因此,精确地监测祁连山区积雪面积变化及其时空演变,对祁连山区生态环境和社会经济发展等具有重要意义。FY-3C MULSS利用多阈值积雪指数模型提供全球日积雪覆盖产品,FY-4A AGRI传感器每15~60 min提供一景覆盖全球的多光谱影像。基于FY-4A AGRI高时间分辨率的特征,构建适合于FY-4A号数据的动态多阈值多时相云隙间积雪识别方法,很大程度上减小了云对光学数据识别积雪造成的影响,并结合FY-3C MULSS积雪覆盖日产品较高空间分辨率的优势,融合得到去除云后的FY3C4积雪覆盖数据。利用Landsat 8 OLI卫星数据对融合后的积雪数据进行对比验证,结果表明融合FY-3C和FY-4A后的数据能更好地判识祁连山区的积雪覆盖情况。以MODIS MOD10A2积雪产品为真实值,随机检验了2018年3月~2019年3月融合后数据的积雪判识精度,发现无云情况下方法的总体精度可达到85.25%。进一步研究发现祁连山区积雪面积在海拔、气候和坡向等因素的影响下时空分布极不均匀,总体呈现出冬春季节大于夏秋季节,以及东部积雪面积大于西部积雪面积的特征。     

基于FY-MWRI的中国西部被动微波积雪判识算法北大核心CSCD

积雪是冰冻圈中分布最广泛的要素,在气候变化以及水文循环中扮演着重要角色。微波遥感因其全天时全天候工作、具有一定穿透性等优势,成为积雪监测的重要手段。利用FY-3C卫星同步观测获取的微波成像仪(MWRI)被动微波亮度温度数据、融合可见光红外扫描仪(VIRR)与中等分辨率成像光谱仪(MERSI)数据得到的积雪产品,结合MODIS地表分类数据、地表温度数据,发展了基于国产卫星数据的被动微波积雪判识算法。首先提取无云覆盖的不同地表类型被动微波数据像元样本,然后对各地表类型的微波特征进行分析,利用空间聚类的方法,得到TB19V-TB19H、TB19V-TB37V、TB22V、TB22V-TB89V、(TB22V-TB89V)—(TB19V-TB37V)这五类可以较好地区分积雪和其他类似积雪地表的指标。最后应用MODIS积雪产品为参考对该积雪判识算法进行精度评价,该算法在中国西部积雪判识总体精度为87.1%,漏判率为4.6%,误判率为23.3%;Grody算法判识总体精度为78.6%,漏判率为9.8%,误判率为30.7%,该算法判识精度高于Grody算法;通过Kappa系数分析比较,该算法积雪判识结果的Kappa系数值为47.3%,高于Grody算法判识结果的Kappa系数值39.9%,表明该算法积雪判识结果与MODIS积雪产品判识结果一致性更好。     

基于FY-4A/AGRI时空特征融合的新疆地区积雪判识

高时间分辨率的积雪判识对于新疆牧区农牧业发展和雪灾预警具有重要作用,针对已有积雪产品易受复杂地形地貌,下垫面类型以及云遮蔽的影响,导致积雪判识精度降低的问题,提出一种利用深度学习方法对风云4号A星多通道辐射扫描计（AGRI）数据与地理信息数据进行多特征时序融合的积雪判识方法：以多时相FY-4A/AGRI多光谱遥感数据,以及高程、坡向、坡度和地表覆盖类型等地形地貌信息作为模型输入,以Landsat 8 OLI提取的高空间分辨率积雪覆盖图作为“真值”标签,构建并训练基于卷积神经网络的积雪判识模型,从而有效区分新疆复杂地形与下垫面地区的云、雪以及无雪地表,最终得到逐小时积雪覆盖范围产品。经数据集和2019年地面气象站实测雪盖验证,该方法精度高于国际主流MODIS逐日积雪产品MOD10A1和MYD10A1,显著降低云雪误判率。     

MODIS和VEGETATION雪盖产品在北疆的验证及比较

雪盖产品的准确性评估对于水文模型中的遥感应用具有重要的意义,利用北疆47个气象站实测雪深资料,并将气象站根据海拔和下垫面进行分类,对我国可使用的3种光学遥感雪盖产品MOD10A1、MOD10A2和VGT-S10雪盖产品进行验证。研究表明,MOD10A1、MOD10A2和VGT-S10雪盖产品识别总体精度分别为91.3%、90.6%和87.9%,3种产品在农田、草地、城镇和建筑用地总体精度更高 |在稀疏灌木林、裸地与稀疏植被识别总体精度较低,特别是在山区,3种产品识别精度均较低,分别为66.3%、75.7%和61.9%。进一步统计3种雪盖产品的错分误差、漏分误差,发现3种产品错分误差都比较小,但在山区站的漏分误差比较严重,分别为32.4%、21.7%和36.3%,3种产品在山区都低估了雪盖面积。3种不同时间分辨率的雪盖产品云影响率分别为61.8%、7.6%和1.8%。最后将MODIS合成与VGT-S10时间分辨率相同的雪盖产品,并对两种产品在积雪积累期和消融期进行相互比较,比较发现MODIS识别精度要优于VGT-S10雪盖产品,3种产品中VGT-S10由于合成天数最多,所以雪盖产品受云的影响最小。     

An application of MODIS data to snow cover monitoring in a pastoral area: A case study in Northern Xinjiang, China

Snow is an important land cover on the earth's surface. It is characterized by its changing nature. Monitoring snow cover extent plays a significant role in dynamic studies and prevention of snow-caused disasters in pastoral areas. Using NASA EOS Terra/MODIS snow cover products and in situ observation data during the four snow seasons from November 1 to March 31 of year 2001 to 2005 in northern Xinjiang area, the accuracy of MODIS snow cover mapping algorithm under varied snow depth and land cover types was analyzed. The overall accuracy of MODIS daily snow cover mapping algorithm in clear sky condition is high at 98.5%; snow agreement reaches 98.2%, and ranges from 77.8% to 100% over the 4-year period for individual sites. Snow depth (SD) is one of the major factors affecting the accuracy of MODIS snow cover maps. MODIS does not identify any snow for SD less than 0.5 cm. The overall accuracy increases with snow depth if SD is equal to or greater than 3 cm, and decreases for SD below 3 cm. Land cover has an important influence in the accuracy of MODIS snow cover maps. The use of MOD10A1 snow cover products is severely affected by cloud cover. The 8-day composite products of MOD10A2 can effectively minimize the effect of cloud cover in most cases. Cloud cover in excess of 10% occurs on 99% of the MOD10A1 products and 14.7% of the MOD10A2 products analyzed during the four snow seasons. User-defined multiple day composite images based on MOD10A1, with flexibilities of selecting composite period, starting and ending date and composite sequence of MOD10A1 products, have an advantage in effectively monitoring snow cover extent for regional snow-caused disasters in pastoral areas.     

欧亚大陆中高纬度区逐日无云积雪产品研发及验证

利用多源遥感数据,结合光学遥感数据高空间分辨率及被动微波数据不受云干扰的优势,利用MODIS逐日积雪标准产品和AMSR-E雪水当量产品,生成了欧亚大陆中高纬度区500m分辨率的逐日无云积雪产品,并利用更高分辨率的Landsat-TM数据生成的积雪产品作为"真值"影像,对研发的逐日无云积雪覆盖产品的精度进行了验证。结果表明:MOD10A1和MYD10A1受云影响均较为严重,无法直接用于地表积雪面积的监测。而本研究合成的逐日无云产品具有较好的精度,与TM积雪图具有较高的一致性。但不同的土地覆盖类型对积雪分类精度有一定的影响。其中,裸地和草原覆盖区精度最好,Kappa系数分别为0.655和0.644,均为高度一致性;其次精度较好的是灌丛和耕地覆盖区,Kappa系数分别为0.584和0.572,均为中等的一致性;而森林覆盖区由于受到高大植被的影响,Kappa系数仅为0.389,合成产品相对TM积雪产品明显高估了森林区积雪面积。整体Kappa均值达到0.569,接近高度一致,研究结果对实时监测欧亚大陆积雪面积具有一定的应用价值。     

Development and evaluation of a cloud-gap-filled MODIS daily snow-cover product

The utility of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow-cover products is limited by cloud cover which causes gaps in the daily snow-cover map products. We describe a cloud-gap-filled (CGF) daily snow-cover map using a simple algorithm to track cloud persistence, to account for the uncertainty created by the age of the snow observation. Developed from the 0.05° resolution climate-modeling grid daily snow-cover product, MOD10C1, each grid cell of the CGF map provides a cloud-persistence count (CPC) that tells whether the current or a prior day was used to make the snow decision. Percentage of grid cells “observable” is shown to increase dramatically when prior days are considered. The effectiveness of the CGF product is evaluated by conducting a suite of data assimilation experiments using the community Noah land surface model in the NASA Land Information System (LIS) framework. The Noah model forecasts of snow conditions, such as snow-water equivalent (SWE), are updated based on the observations of snow cover which are obtained either from the MOD10C1 standard product or the new CGF product. The assimilation integrations using the CGF maps provide domain-averaged bias improvement of ~11%, whereas such improvement using the standard MOD10C1 maps is ~3%. These improvements suggest that the Noah model underestimates SWE and snow depth fields, and that the assimilation integrations contribute to correcting this systematic error. We conclude that the gap-filling strategy is an effective approach for increasing cloud-free observations of snow cover.     

Evaluation of MODIS snow cover and cloud mask and its application in Northern Xinjiang, China

Using five-year (2001-2005) ground-observed snow depth and cloud cover data at 20 climatic stations in Northern Xinjiang, China, this study: 1) evaluates the accuracy of the 8-day snow cover product (MOD10A2) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/Terra satellite, 2) generates a new snow cover time series by separating the MODIS cloud masked pixels as snow and land, and 3) examines the temporal variability of snow area extent (SAE) and correlations of air temperature and elevation with SAE. Results show that, under clear sky conditions, the MOD10A2 has high accuracies when mapping snow (94%) and land (99%) at snow depth ≥ 4 cm, but a very low accuracy (< 39%) for patchy snow or thin snow depth (< 4 cm). Most of the patchy snow is misclassified as land. The mean accuracy of the cloud mask used in MOD10A2 for December, January and February is very low (19%). Based on the ratio of snow to land of ground observations in each month, the new snow cover time series generated in this study provides a better representation of actual snow cover for the study area. The SAE (%) time series exhibits similar patterns during six hydrologic years (2001-2006), even though the accumulation and melt periods do not exactly coincide. The variation of SAE is negatively associated with air temperature over the range of − 10 °C to 5 °C. An increase in elevation generally results in longer periods of snow cover, but the influence of elevation on SAE decreases as elevation exceeds 4 km in the Ili River Watershed (IRW). The number of days with snow cover shows either a decreasing trend or no trend in the IRW and the entire study area in the study period. This result is inconsistent with a reported increasing trend based on limited in situ observations. Long-term continuance of the MODIS snow cover product is critical to resolve this dilemma because the in situ observations appear to undersample the region.     

FY-3/VIRR资料积雪多阈值综合判识方法研究

利用卫星遥感监测积雪分布相比地面观测具有明显优势,目前基于FY-3卫星数据在积雪监测方面的研究较少。借鉴现有积雪卫星遥感监测算法,研究出适用于FY-3/VIRR资料的积雪判识方法,利用归一化积雪指数和多波段综合阈值实现积雪判识,提取积雪信息生成区域二值化积雪分布图。通过实例分析验证算法有效可行,并与MODIS积雪产品MOD10及其L1B数据NDSI判识结果进行对比,说明算法判识结果良好。研究表明,FY-3卫星数据可作为积雪遥测的可靠资料来源,可延用于积雪监测与灾害预警业务系统中,促进国产卫星数据的应用与推广。     

Validation of the MODIS snow product and cloud mask using student and NWS cooperative station observations in the Lower Great Lakes Region

NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) snow product (MOD10) creates automated daily, 8-day composite and monthly regional and global snow cover maps. In this study, the MOD10 daily swath imagery (MOD10_L2) and the MODIS cloud mask (MOD35) were validated in the Lower Great Lakes Region, specifically the area to the east of Lake Michigan. Validation of the MOD10_L2 snow product, MOD35 cloud mask and the MOD10_L2 Liberal Cloud Mask was performed using field observations from K-12 student GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) and SATELLITES (Students And Teachers Evaluating Local Landscapes to Interpret The Earth from Space) programs. Student data consisted of field observations of snow depth, snow water equivalency, cloud type, and total cloud cover. In addition, observations from the National Weather Service (NWS) Cooperative Observing Stations were used. Student observations were taken during field campaigns in the winter of 2001-2002, a winter with very little snow in the Great Lakes region, and the winters of 2000-2001 and 2002-2003, which had significant snow cover. Validation of the MOD10_L2 version 4 snow product with student observations produced an accuracy of 92% while comparison with the NWS stations produced an accuracy of 86%. The higher NWS error appears to come from forested areas. Twenty-five and fifty percent of the errors observed by the students and NWS stations, respectively, occurred when there was only a trace of snow. In addition, 82% of the MODIS cloud masked pixels were identified as either overcast or broken by the student observers while 74% of the pixels the MODIS cloud mask identified as cloudless were identified as clear, isolated or scattered cloud cover by the student observers. The experimental Liberal Cloud Mask eliminated some common errors associated with the MOD35 cloud mask, however, it was found to omit significant cloud cover.     

东北地区MODIS亚像元积雪覆盖率反演及验证

以中巴资源卫星数据作为地面“真值”影像,根据东北地区地理环境与气候特点对Salomoson亚像元积雪覆盖率模型参数进行修正,反演东北地区MODIS像元积雪覆盖率,并用不同方案对模型的稳定性和精度进行分析。研究结果表明,经修正后的Salomoson亚像元积雪覆盖率反演模型对不同地貌--景观单元具有稳定性,其中较小的波动源于积雪物理性质差异、大气效应、积雪影像分类误差及影像配准误差。在东北平原区,NDSI值在0.52~0.65时,模型反演精度高,但反演雪盖率总体偏低,主要是由NDSI基于对波段反射率的非线性转换引起的;雪盖率高估的像元主要分布在城区外围以及农村居民点,而覆盖城区、乡、镇以及居民点之间道路的像元雪盖率误差小,其原因是人类活动频率影响像元内积雪组分与非积雪组分的光谱特性的差异程度。与MODIS雪产品进行对比分析,积雪覆盖率提供较传统雪盖制图更加丰富的信息,然而对林区冠层下积雪覆盖二者均未给出准确估计。

Fractional snow cover mapping through artificial neural network analysis of MODIS surface reflectance

Accurate areal measurements of snow cover extent are important for hydrological and climate modeling. The traditional method of mapping snow cover is binary where a pixel is considered either snow-covered or snow-free. Fractional snow cover (FSC) mapping can achieve a more precise estimate of areal snow cover extent by estimating the fraction of a pixel that is snow-covered. The most common snow fraction methods applied to Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images have been spectral unmixing and an empirical Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI). Machine learning is an alternative for estimating FSC as artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been successfully used for estimating the subpixel abundances of other surfaces. The advantages of ANNs are that they can easily incorporate auxiliary information such as land cover type and are capable of learning nonlinear relationships between surface reflectance and snow fraction. ANNs are especially applicable to mapping snow cover extent in forested areas where spatial mixing of surface components is nonlinear. This study developed a multilayer feed-forward ANN trained through backpropagation to estimate FSC using MODIS surface reflectance, NDSI, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and land cover as inputs. The ANN was trained and validated with higher spatial-resolution FSC maps derived from Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) binary snow cover maps. Testing of the network was accomplished over training and independent test areas. The developed network performed adequately with RMSE of 12% over training areas and slightly less accurately over the independent test scenes with RMSE of 14%. The developed ANN also compared favorably to the standard MODIS FSC product. The study also presents a comprehensive validation of the standard MODIS snow fraction product whose performance was found to be similar to that of the ANN.     

Evaluation of MODIS Snow Products in Southwestern Xinjiang Using the Google Earth Engine

Google Earth Engine(GEE) is a cloud\|based geospatial processing platform that can analyze geospatial data to achieve parallel processing of massive remote sensing data on a global scale,providing support for remote sensing big data and large\|area research.MODIS snow cover mapping is a global snow cover product established using MODIS data and has been widely used in regional and global climate and environmental monitoring.In the GEE,millions of remote sensing images are stored,including MODIS daily snow products MOD10A1 V5 data and Landsat data.Taking the three research areas in southwestern Xinjiang as examples,the Landsat stored by the GEE were selected,and the NDSI was used to extract the snow cover as the true value of the land cover to evaluate the MOD10A1 accuracy.The results show that the average overall accuracy of MOD10A1 in the snow cover season in southwestern Xinjiang during the period from 2000 to 2016 is 82%,the average misjudgment rate is 2.9%,and the average missed rate is 58.8%.The overall accuracy of MOD10A1 can reach 98% under the clear sky conditions.The accuracy of MOD10A1 is effected by the terrain conditions and cloud cover in different regions.Therefore,the GEE can quickly and effectively filter high quality cloudless Landsat images,and evaluate the accuracy of the MOD10A1 in the snow area around the global regions,displaying intuitively the misjudgment and missed areas in the form of online maps.Meanwhile,GEE provides the Landsat simple cloud score function to calculate the regional cloud cover,which makes the influence of cloud cover on the MOD10A1 accuracy assessment more regionally representative.     

Accuracy assessment of the MODIS 16-day albedo product for snow: comparisons with Greenland in situ measurements

The accuracy of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 16-day albedo product (MOD43) is assessed using ground-based albedo observations from automatic weather stations (AWS) over spatially homogeneous snow and semihomogeneous ice-covered surfaces on the Greenland ice sheet. Data from 16 AWS locations, spanning the years 2000-2003, were used for this assessment. In situ reflected shortwave data were corrected for a systematic positive spectral sensitivity bias of between 0.01 and 0.09 on a site-by-site basis using precise optical black radiometer data. Results indicate that the MOD43 albedo product retrieves snow albedo with an average root mean square error (RMSE) of ±0.07 as compared to the station measurements, which have ±0.035 RMSE uncertainty. If we eliminate all satellite retrievals that rely on the backup algorithm and consider only the highest quality results from the primary bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) algorithm, the MODIS albedo RMSE is ±0.04, slightly larger than the in situ measurement uncertainty. There is general agreement between MODIS and in situ observations for albedo <0.7, while near the upper limit, a −0.05 MODIS albedo bias is evident from the scatter of the 16-site composite.     

东北-内蒙古地区基于MODIS单、双卫星积雪数据及常规积雪观测结合的积雪日数研究

结合Terra和Aqua卫星的积雪产品,获取2001~2008年东北-内蒙古地区逐年积雪日数分布,并利用此数据对比Terra卫星积雪数据获取的逐年积雪日数。结果表明随海拔的升高,双星与单颗卫星积雪日数差异呈现明显增加的趋势。整个东北-内蒙古地区双星积雪日数平均高出单颗卫星积雪日15 d,但与台站积雪日数对比发现,双星积雪日数平均仍然偏低27 d。这说明,利用Terra和Aqua双卫星积雪监测数据能明显改善山区云对遥感监测的影响,同时也可以减少降雪初期和消融期由于积雪消融较快带来的积雪漏测,但不足以消除云等因素的影响。考虑到获取的2001~2006年台站年积雪日数与MODIS年积雪日数与有良好的统计关系,利用两者建立的线性统计关系修正整个东北-内蒙古地区的MODIS积雪日数,能够很好地消除云等因素带来的MODIS双卫星积雪日数偏小的问题,修正后台站与双星积雪日数之间的绝对误差由原来的27 d减小到18 d。     

基于ART模型的MODIS积雪反照率反演研究

积雪反照率是研究局地或全球的能量收支平衡和气候变化中的重要参数,遥感反演为积雪反照率的获取提供了便利的手段。积雪反照率大小主要取决于积雪的自身物理属性(雪粒径、形状和污染物等因子)以及天气状况,遥感反演反照率大多基于双向反射模型(BRDF),积雪BRDF模型常使用积雪辐射传输模型获得。采用考虑了雪粒径、粒子形状以及污染物影响的渐进辐射传输理论(ART)模型,建立了MODIS积雪反照率反演算法,得到了MODIS 8d合成积雪反照率产品。将此算法应用于具有均一积雪地表的格陵兰岛地区,并使用GC-Net实测数据进行了验证,反演的总均方根误差(RMSE)为0.018,相关系数(r)为0.83,结果表明考虑了积雪特性的ART模型能够较好地反演积雪反照率,而且反演需要的参数较少。     

Toward improved daily snow cover mapping with advanced combination of MODIS and AMSR-E measurements

Taking three snow seasons from November 1 to March 31 of year 2002 to 2005 in northern Xinjiang, China as an example, this study develops a new daily snow cover product (500 m) through combining MODIS daily snow cover data and AMSR-E daily snow water equivalent (SWE) data. By taking advantage of both high spatial resolution of optical data and cloud transparency of passive microwave data, the new daily snow cover product greatly complements the deficiency of MODIS product when cloud cover is present especially for snow cover product on a daily basis and effectively improves daily snow detection accuracy. In our example, the daily snow agreement of the new product with the in situ measurements at 20 stations is 75.4%, which is much higher than the 33.7% of the MODIS daily product in all weather conditions, even a little higher than the 71% of the MODIS 8-day product (cloud cover of ~ 5%). Our results also indicate that i) AMSR-E daily SWE imagery generally agrees with MOD10A1 data in detecting snow cover, with overall agreement of 93.4% and snow agreement of 96.6% in the study area; ii) AMSR-E daily SWE imagery underestimates the snow covered area (SCA) due to its coarse spatial resolution; iii) The new snow cover product can better and effectively capture daily SCA dynamics during the snow seasons, which plays a significant role in reduction, mitigation, and prevention of snow-caused disasters in pastoral areas.     

多尺度卫星雪盖面积获取的对比研究

系统地开展尺度和尺度效应的研究,综合利用日益增多的不同分辨率的遥感影像数据,是地球空间信息科学发展的趋势之一。作为多尺度转换大命题中的前期工作,旨在通过试验的手段检验不同尺度产品的真实性,发现多尺度转换中潜在的各种问题,以及探索可行性的尺度转换方法,为进一步的多尺度转换研究工作提供良好的背景知识。多尺度雪盖面积的获取,包括两样区1 m分辨率野外人工子像元雪盖、两样区30 m分辨率子像元重采样雪盖、30 m Hyperion和TM卫星反演雪盖、以及MODIS 500 m分辨率的MOD10A1雪盖日产品。通过对上述不同尺度获取的雪盖面积的相互对比研究,我们发现：①1 m样区的雪盖>30 m重采样雪盖>30 m Hyperion和TM的雪盖 ;②若把1 m样区看做500 m像元的单点试验,该单点不能完全正确地表征同位置像元上的地物特征 ;③MOD10A1产品有云覆盖地区,宜采用前后雪盖合成的方法来辅助判断并恢复当日云层下的地表类型。同时,通过对各像元级尺度的雪盖面积的真实性检验,我们也发现尺度转换需关注的潜在关键问题：①精确的像元匹配 ;②重采样方式 ;③数据获取时间以及产品时间序列 ;④多传感器图像处理 ;⑤产品算法的影响 ;⑥混合像元的影响 ;⑦试验样方的大小设计 ;⑧地面同步物理参数的测量 ;⑨空间异质性的定量表达。
