基于MODIS温度植被角度指数的农作物估产模型研究

利用MODIS数据,以河北石家庄和邢台地区冬小麦产量估算为例,探讨了综合植被指数与陆表温度的温度植被角度指数在农作物估产中的应用研究.首先,根据冬小麦物候历,计算了冬小麦抽穗期四种参量指数:归一化植被指数(NDVI)、增强型植被指数(EVI)、温度植被角度指数(TVA)和增强型温度植被角度指数(ETVA);其次,将实测的冬小麦产量数据与NDVI、EVI、VTA和EVTA数据进行回归分析,建立模型.结果表明,实测产量数据与这四种指数均具有很好的线性回归关系,相关系数R2均在0.60以上(分别为0.61、0.65、0.68、0.74),其中基于TVA和ETVA的估产模型要好于NDVI和EVI模型.由此可见,综合了MODIS光学反射和辐射信息的TVA/ETVA,能有效应用于实践估产中,并提高预测的准确性.     

苔藓结皮光谱的变异性研究

通过测定干、湿苔藓结皮光谱和不同季节的苔藓结皮光谱,研究了其水分变异性和季节变异性.研究得出,湿苔藓结皮光谱曲线与维管植物的光谱曲线相似,即苔藓在生命活动期的光谱曲线具有高等植物光谱曲线特征,干苔藓结皮光谱曲线特征与裸地土壤的光谱曲线相似;苔藓结皮光谱在苔藓营养发育期(7月)与生殖发育期(10月)存在较大差异,即苔藓结皮光谱也如维管植物一样存在季节变异.研究分析认为,苔藓结皮光谱与其所处环境的土壤水分有关,且苔藓结皮光谱象其他高等植物一样具有季节性变异,所以仅通过分析某一状态下的生物结皮的光谱与其他地物光谱的异同,构建的遥感解译方法很难具有普适性.由于湿苔藓结皮光谱与维管植物相似,苔藓结皮可能造成其盖度分布较大区域的植物指数的不稳定性和该区域植被生产力的过高估计.

Effects of sea surface temperature accuracy on offshore wind resource assessment using a mesoscale model

Offshore wind simulations were performed with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model driven by three different sea surface temperature (SST) datasets for Japanese coastal waters to investigate the effect of the SST accuracies on offshore wind simulations. First, the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Final analysis (FNL) (1° × 1° grid resolution) and the Operational Sea Surface Temperature and Sea Ice Analysis (OSTIA) (0.05° × 0.05° grid resolution) datasets were compared with in situ measurements. The results show a decrease in accuracy of these datasets toward the coast from the open ocean. Aiming at an improved accuracy of SST data, we developed a new high‐resolution SST dataset (0.02° × 0.02° grid resolution). The new dataset referred to as MOSST is based on the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) product, provided by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). MOSST was confirmed to be more accurate than FNL and OSTIA for the coastal waters. Then, WRF simulations were carried out for 1 year with a 2 km grid resolution and by using the FNL, OSTIA and MOSST datasets. The use of the OSTIA dataset for a WRF simulation was found to improve the accuracy when compared with the FNL dataset, and further improvement was obtained when the MOSST dataset was applied. The sensitivity of wind speed and wind energy density to SST is also discussed. We conclude that the use of an accurate SST is a key factor not only for realistic offshore wind simulations near the surface but also for accurate wind resource assessments at the hub height of wind turbines.

Airborne high‐resolution images for grape classification: changes in correlation between technological and late maturity in a Sangiovese vineyard in Central Italy

Background and Aims: The goal of this study was to investigate the relationships between NDVI values at different phenological stages and measurements of grape parameters at two different harvest dates. Methods and Results: The research was done on a Sangiovese vineyard in Central Italy. Over four seasons, airborne NDVI measurements acquired between June and August were related to grape parameters (yield per vine, pH, °Brix, anthocyanins and polyphenols) at technological harvest (H1) and two weeks later (H2). Correlations were higher at H1 and decreased at H2 with a different rate depending on the parameter. °Brix and pH correlations showed a moderate rate of variation between H1 and H2; bigger differences and a different inter‐annual dynamic were observed in anthocyanins and polyphenols between H1 and H2. Conclusions: The ability of NDVI to discriminate different grape classes was confirmed, but its efficacy substantially varies depending on the harvest date. These results suggest the existence, within the same vineyard, of different grape populations having specific timing and shape of ripening curve; as a consequence, distinct vigour zones of the vineyard show a different evolution of the content of grape parameters between the two harvests thus influencing the degree of correlation between grape quality and NDVI measurements. Significance of the Study: This is the first study in which harvest date has been considered for its influence on the predictive skill of RS. It therefore highlights not only the importance of spatial variation within the single vineyard, but also the importance of ripening dynamics.     

Integrating satellite images and spectroscopy to measuring green and black tea quality

This study quantifies the effects of green leaf and black tea parameters that influence tea quality in Northeast India. It was motivated by a decline in tea quality that is of concern to tea growers. The rationale of the study is to identify the different parameters that have a significant influence on liquor brightness and other variables measuring tea quality. Here, we investigate several methods for estimating tea quality based on tea quality data, near infrared spectroscopy and remotely sensed data (NDVI). Attention focused on two high yielding clones (TV1 and S3A3). NDVI was obtained from ASTER images. Statistical analysis shows that liquor brightness is affected by the levels of caffeine content, theaflavins and catechins. Relationships exist between quality parameters and remote sensing in particular for the S3A3 clone. NDVI has a positive relation with caffeine, theogallin, EC, and ECG. NIR is negatively related to caffeine, theogallin, and catechins. We conclude that NDVI and Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy have a large potential to be used for monitoring tea quality in the future.     

基于MODIS的春、夏季中国近海气溶胶对于云参数的影响差异研究

通过分析中国近海MODIS数据中气溶胶参数与云参数的相互关系,讨论了该区域气溶胶的间接效应及其对于云的可能影响.结果表明,在中国近海,气溶胶具有明显的间接效应,而且由于气溶胶种类和水汽的季节变化,使得气溶胶的间接作用具有很强的时间变化特征.在夏季,由于人为气溶胶占主导,它作为有效的云凝结核,使得气溶胶光学厚度(AOT)分别与云凝结核数(CCN)有正相关、与云滴有效半径(CER)有负相关性、与云光学厚度(COT)也存在着正相关,气溶胶的间接效应明显;在春季,由于沙尘气溶胶盛行,同时沙尘并不是很好的云凝结核,使得气溶胶光学厚度(AOT)分别与云凝结核数(CCN)的正相关减弱、与云滴有效半径(CER)则由夏季的负相关变为正相关、与云光学厚度(COT)存在弱的负相关,气溶胶的间接效应不明显.
