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。     

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.     

Research Progress on the Application of Google Earth Engine in Geoscience and Environmental Sciences

With the rapid development and large integration of global informatization and industrialization since the 21st century,the Internet of things and cloud\|computing have emerged.The world has entered an era of big data.There are a huge amount geographical and remote sensing data generated every day in the field of geoscience,environmental science and related disciplines.However,the traditional approaches for storing,managing and analyzing massive data on the local platform,which take up lots of resources,time and energy,have been unable to meet the needs of the current researches.Google Earth Engine(GEE) cloud platform is powered by Google’s cloud infrastructure,and it combines a large number of geospatial datasets and satellite imagery,in which the datasets could be processing,analyzing as well as visualizing on a global scale.Meanwhile,it uses Google’s powerful computational capabilities to analyze and process a variety of environmental and social issues including climate change,vegetation degradation,food security and water resource shortages.Firstly,an introduction of GEE cloud platform has been given.Secondly,recent researches that using GEE cloud platform were reviewed.Thirdly,GEE cloud platform and MODIS land cover type data were used to analyze spatio\|temporal changes patterns of major land use and land cover type in Three Gorges Reservoir in the period of 2002~2013.The results indicate the largest changes occurring in forest lands,shrub grasslands and croplands.Finally,after a rough calculation,GEE cloud platform is superior to the traditional approaches in terms of both cost and economic efficiency,improving the overall efficiency by more than 90%.GEE cloud platform could not only provide powerful support to experts in the field of geosciences and remote sensing,but also offer valuable help to researchers in related disciplines.GEE cloud platform is an excellent tool for scientific research in geosciences,environment sciences and related disciplines.     

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.     

基于克里金空间插值的MODIS积雪覆盖率产品去云方法

由于云与积雪在可见光和远红外波段都具有相似的光谱特征,使得光学遥感监测积雪受到天气的严重干扰,如何消除亚像元尺度上MODIS积雪覆盖率(Snow Cover Fraction,SCF)产品中云的干扰成为了一个亟待解决的难题。通过分析亚像元尺度上SCF分布的空间变异性,提出了一种基于克里金空间插值的MODIS SCF产品去云方法,分别利用普通克里金(Ordinary Kriging,OK)和以海拔为协变量的普通协克里金(Ordinary Co\|Kriging,OCK)进行去云实验。11个不同日期的实验结果表明:OK和OCK方法在MODIS SCF产品去云中均能达到较高的精度,特别是在云覆盖率低于20%的情况下,此时OCK的精度要好于OK;而当云覆盖率大于20%时,OK的精度略高于OCK,但两者的精度都明显低于云覆盖率低于20%的情况,而且平滑效应都比较明显。     

多源遥感驱动的SRM模型在缺资料地区的研究及应用

以MODIS雪盖、风云静止卫星降水、GLDAS气温等多源数据,作为传统SRM模型的输入参数,构建多源遥感驱动的SRM融雪径流模型,并在缺资料地区——青藏高原的年楚河流域进行融雪过程的径流模拟。研究表明融雪后期的瞬时降雪很大程度上影响了插值后积雪覆盖率的精度,在插值的时候考虑降水和气温,排除瞬时积雪干扰,改进线性插值获得每天的积雪覆盖率,可以提高模型模拟精度;遥感驱动的SRM模型在缺资料地区年楚河适用性较好,Nash-Sutcliffe系数(NSE)达到0.681,体积差(Dv)为-0.17%,均方根误差(RMSE)为9.678,模型模拟的精度较高。研究结果可为高寒地区生态水文模型研究提供重要参考,同时可为SRM模型在其他流域尤其是缺资料地区融雪径流计算中的应用提供有效支撑。     

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。     

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。     

青藏高原MODIS积雪面积比例产品的精度验证与去云研究

MODIS积雪产品的精度验证和去云处理是积雪监测研究的基础。首先利用青藏高原典型地区的ETM+数据作为“真值”影像,对MODIS积雪面积比例(FSC)产品在无云条件下的精度进行验证,发展了一个基于三次样条函数插值的去云算法,并采用基于“云假设”的检验和地面站积雪覆盖日数(SCD)检验两种方法对去云算法的精度进行了分析评价。结果表明:MODIS FSC产品在青藏高原地区具有较高的精度,与FSC“真值”相比,其平均绝对误差、均方根误差以及相关系数分别为0.098、0.156和0.916;去云算法能够有效地获取云遮蔽像元的FSC信息,平均绝对误差为0.092,用新生成的无云MODIS FSC产品计算得到的SCD与地面观测值具有较高的一致性(87.03%),平均绝对误差为3.82 d。     

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。     

卫星遥感雪盖制图方法对比与分析

利用ＬａｎｄｓａｔＴＭ、ＮＯＡＡ／ＡＶＨＲＲ和中分辨率成像光谱仪（ＭＯＤＩＳ）三个平台传感器的遥感数据,分别使用训练样本监督分类、阈值数字信号统计、雪盖指数方法制作雪盖图和提取积雪面积。结果表明：不同传感器遥感图像因时相和时空分辨率的差异,提取积雪信息的有效方法有所不同。但基于反射特性的雪盖指数计算法具有普遍的实际操作性意义,即雪盖制图精度高,分类合理,是提取积雪信息的最佳技术手段;当使用监督积雪分类时,只有取得精确的信号文件,分类结果才是可信的;而阈值数字信号统计的雪的阈值确定具有很大的经验性和随机性,但对数据不完整或只有单波段时也不失为有效和简便的途径;山影补偿处理法基本可以消除地形阴影的影响;而去云后其覆盖下的积雪恢复技术值得进一步讨论。     

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.     

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.     

卫星遥感雪盖制图方法对比与分析

低空间分辨率多源遥感数据的空间一致性分析和相对几何校正

多源低空间分辨率遥感数据在空间上的一致性对于其在全球变化研究中的集成使用有非常重要的意义。对此,以公认几何精度较高的MODIS数据为基准,对NOAA/AVHRR、FY-3/VIRR、FY-3/MERSI、FY-2/VISSR这4类国内外常用的低空间分辨率传感器的L1B数据进行了一系列相对几何精度评价和多项式相对几何校正的实验。相对几何精度评价的结果表明:MODIS数据与这4类L1B数据在几何精度上的偏差都比较大。在此基础上,选取少量均匀分布的控制点并采用不同阶数的多项式几何校正模型对多源数据进行空间一致性校正。校正结果表明:低阶的多项式几何校正模型就能对各种待校正数据的几何精度有显著的提升,使其与基准数据在空间上达到一致,满足全球变化研究对低分辨率多源遥感数据在空间一致性上的需求。     

面向亚像元级积雪信息提取的MODIS影像波段融合方法研究

MODIS影像因其共享性和时间序列的完整性而成为大区域积雪监测研究广泛使用的数据源,进行MODIS影像波段间融合,能够为积雪研究提供较高分辨率的影像数据源。为了充分利用MODIS影像250 m分辨率波段的空间和光谱信息,提取亚像元级的积雪面积,使用两种具有高光谱保真度的影像融合方法：基于SFIM变换和基于小波变换的融合方法,采取不同的波段组合策略,对MODIS影像bands 1~2和bands 3~7进行融合,并以Landsat TM影像的积雪分类图作为“真值”,对融合后影像进行混合像元分解得到的积雪丰度图的精度进行评价。结果表明：利用基于SFIM变换和小波变换方法融合后影像提取的积雪分类图精度较高,数量精度为75%,比未融合影像积雪分类图的精度提高了6%,表明MODIS影像波段融合是一种提取高精度积雪信息的有效方法。     

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。     

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。
