利用温度植被干旱指数反演三峡库区土壤水分

土壤水分是监测土地退化的一个重要指标,是气候、水文、生态、农业等领域的主要参数,在地表与大气界面的水分和能量交换中起重要作用。传统的监测土壤水分的方法只能得到单点的数据,很难获得大范围地区的土壤湿度。遥感能够快速方便地获取大区域的地表信息,因此使用遥感监测土壤水分意义重大。主要利用了温度指标干旱指数对三峡库区进行土壤水分反演及其验证。利用TM6波段的亮温方程,计算得出地表温度（Ts）,以TM3、TM4波段计算得出归一化植被指数（NDVI）;把Ts和NDVI作为基本参数,根据Ts-NDVI特征空间的形状,取中间范围的NDVI,拟合干湿边方程,确定干湿边参数;根据温度植被干旱指数（TVDI）进行土壤湿度等级划分。结果表明,利用TVDI可以很好地反演出地表的土壤湿度信息。

遥感干旱指数在洛川苹果干旱监测中的适用性分析

目前对苹果干旱研究较少且主要运用站点数据,对空间信息表征有限,遥感干旱指数可用于大范围干旱时空动态监测,但在苹果干旱监测中的适用性还有待研究。基于2014~2018年MODIS反射率、地表温度以及地表覆被数据,结合土壤湿度数据和野外调查资料,分析洛川苹果区温度植被干旱指数（TVDI）、归一化植被水分指数（NDWI）、植被供水指数（VSWI）与10 cm深度土壤湿度（SM）的一致性,探索遥感干旱指标对土壤干湿状况表征能力,并进一步研究遥感干旱指标对干旱响应敏感时段。结果表明：①由增强型植被指数（EVI）计算的VSWI与SM的时空一致性最好,其在2014、2017年表现出的干旱特征与实际旱情相符;②VSWI（EVI）和TVDI（EVI）与SM的相关性分别高于VSWI（NDVI）和TVDI（NDVI）与SM的相关性,使用EVI能提高VSWI和TVDI对干旱的表征能力;③TVDI、NDWI、VSWI对SM存在不同时间的反应滞后,滞后3时相（24 d）的VSWI（EVI）与SM的相关性最高,而NDWI对SM滞后时间短,对干旱响应较及时,结合VSWI（EVI）和NDWI可能更有利于监测苹果干旱;④在不同苹果生育期,遥感指标对土壤湿度敏感性不同,VSWI在不同生育期敏感性差异最明显：新梢旺长期（5、6月）对土壤湿度敏感性高于萌芽开花期、果实膨大期、成熟期;该结果符合洛川县苹果不同生育期需水规律和洛川降水、干旱发生特征。研究结果可为遥感监测苹果干旱提供参考依据。

Retrieving near-surface soil moisture from microwave radiometric observations: current status and future plans

Surface soil moisture is a key variable used to describe water and energy exchanges at the land surface/atmosphere interface. Passive microwave remotely sensed data have great potential for providing estimates of soil moisture with good temporal repetition on a daily basis and on a regional scale (∼10 km). However, the effects of vegetation cover, soil temperature, snow cover, topography, and soil surface roughness also play a significant role in the microwave emission from the surface. Different soil moisture retrieval approaches have been developed to account for the various parameters contributing to the surface microwave emission. Four main types of algorithms can be roughly distinguished depending on the way vegetation and temperature effects are accounted for. These algorithms are based on (i) land cover classification maps, (ii) ancillary remote sensing indexes, and (iii) two-parameter or (iv) three-parameter retrievals (in this case, soil moisture, vegetation optical depth, and effective surface temperature are retrieved simultaneously from the microwave observations). Methods (iii) and (iv) are based on multiconfiguration observations, in terms of frequency, polarization, or view angle. They appear to be very promising as very few ancillary information are required in the retrieval process. This paper reviews these various methods for retrieving surface soil moisture from microwave radiometric systems. The discussion highlights key issues that will have to be addressed in the near future to secure operational use of the proposed retrieval approaches.     

基于ENVISat ASAR影像的湿地植被冠层下淹水范围提取以扎龙保护区为例

以扎龙自然保护区湿地为例,结合ENVISat ASAR多极化(HH/HV)雷达影像与传统的光学影像Landsat TM (band1~5,7),分析雷达影像后向散射系数与Landsat TM影像不同波段反射率在淹水植被、非淹水植被、明水面和裸土不同地表覆被类型的差异。选择训练样本,采用分类回归树(Classification and Regression Tree,CART)模型,分别对两种影像进行分类,可视化表达湿地植被淹水范围空间分布情况。基于实测的植被冠层下淹水范围与非淹水范围样本点对两种数据源的分类结果进行精度验证。结果表明:HH/HV极化影像中,植被覆盖下水体的后向散射系数与其他地表覆被类型有明显区别,分类结果总精度为79.49%,Kappa系数为0.70,湿地植被淹水范围提取精度较高。而TM影像分类结果中,由于部分地区植被覆盖水体,淹水植被分类误差较高。将雷达影像引入沼泽湿地研究,提高了植被淹水范围提取效果,为有效分析湿地生态水文过程提供基础,对湿地水资源合理利用及生物多样性保护具有重要意义。     

Vegetation water content mapping using Landsat data derived normalized difference water index for corn and soybeans

Information about vegetation water content (VWC) has widespread utility in agriculture, forestry, and hydrology. It is also useful in retrieving soil moisture from microwave remote sensing observations. Providing a VWC estimate allows us to control a degree of freedom in the soil moisture retrieval process. However, these must be available in a timely fashion in order to be of value to routine applications, especially soil moisture retrieval. As part of the Soil Moisture Experiments 2002 (SMEX02), the potential of using satellite spectral reflectance measurements to map and monitor VWC for corn and soybean canopies was evaluated. Landsat Thematic Mapper and Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus data and ground-based VWC measurements were used to establish relationships based on remotely sensed indices. The two indices studied were the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). The NDVI saturated during the study period while the NDWI continued to reflect changes in VWC. NDWI was found to be superior based upon a quantitative analysis of bias and standard error. The method developed was used to map daily VWC for the watershed over the 1-month experiment period. It was also extended to a larger regional domain. In order to develop more robust and operational methods, we need to look at how we can utilize the MODIS instruments on the Terra and Aqua platforms, which can provide daily temporal coverage.

应用冬小麦春季生长期的NOAA/AVHRR资料,反演归一化植被指数（NDVI）、土壤调整植被指数（SAVI）和下垫面温度（T_s）,分析了植被指数和下垫面温度空间特征,采用温度植被旱情指数（TVDI）,研究了河北省2005年3~5月的冬小麦旱情状况。结果表明：基于SAVI的温度植被旱情指数与土壤表层相对湿度的相关性好于基于NDVI的温度植被旱情指数。通过与气象站土壤水分观测资料进行相关性分析,表明温度植被旱情指数与10 cm土壤相对湿度关系最好,20 cm次之,50 cm较差。因此,基于SAVI的温度植被旱情指数更适于监测冬小麦春季的旱情。     

A Kind of Vegetation Cover Fraction Retrieval Algorithm based on Spectral Normalization Frame

Vegetation cover fraction is an important control factor in the process of simulating surface vegetation transpiration，soil water evaporation and vegetation photosynthesis.Based on the TM image data of two different types of vegetation cover，a collaborative sparse regression algorithm based on the spectra normalization framework is proposed to retrieve the vegetation cover fraction，which solves the problems such as the error of the endmember variability and the efficient of the algorithm arisen from many spectral mixture analysis algorithms used to retrieving vegetation cover fraction.And also by contrast to the dimidiate pixel algorithm，the accuracy of the algorithm is indicated.The experimental results show that the normalization of the image and endmenbers can effectively reduce their heterogeneity and improve the retrieval precision and the algorithm has higher accuracy than the dimidiate pixel algorithm.     

An investigation of drought prediction using various remote-sensing vegetation indices for different time spans

Iran is a country in a dry part of the world and extensively suffers from drought. Drought is a natural and repeatable phenomenon definable at specified time and area. In addition, social and economic issues can be affected by drought. Information such as intensity, duration, and spatial coverage of drought can help decision makers to reduce the vulnerability of the drought-affected areas, therefore lessen the risks associated with drought episodes. Lack of long-term meteorological data for many parts of the country is one of the most important problems for drought monitoring in Iran. One of the useful ways for gathering information about soil and vegetation conditions is using satellite-based imagery. In this study, remotely sensed image data were applied in order to forecast and model the drought. To this end, SPI (standardized precipitation index) drought indicator was used to represent the drought and its intensity in different time spans (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 24 months). Some vegetation indices (VIs) including normalized difference vegetation index, temperature condition index, vegetation condition index, and normalized difference vegetation index deviation were extracted using Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sensor imagery. These indices were plugged into the model to calculate the SPI. A unique Support Vector Machine classifier improved for all types of the SPI by applying various remotely sensed VIs. The best vegetation index for each kind of SPI was determined. In this framework, meteorological stations were clustered based on their land cover extracted from satellite-based indices before insertion to the model.
