Theory and application for retrieval and fusion of spatial and temporal quantitative information from complex natural environment     

Jin Yaqiu 《Frontiers of Earth Science》2007,1(3):284-298

This paper briefly presents the research progress of the State Major Basic Research Project 2001CB309400, “Theory and Application for Retrieval and Fusion of Spatial and Temporal Quantitative Information from Complex Natural Environment”. Based on the rapid advancement of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery technology, information theory of fully polarimetric scattering and applications in polarimetric SAR remote sensing are developed. To promote the modeling of passive microwave remote sensing, the vector (polarized) radiative transfer theory (VRT) of complex natural media such as inhomogeneous, multi-layered and 3-dimensional VRT is developed. With these theoretical progresses, data validation and retrieval algorithms for some typical events and characteristic parameters of earth terrain surfaces, atmosphere, and oceans from operational and experimental remote sensing satellites are studied. Employing remote sensing, radiative transfer simulation, geographic information systems (GIS), land hydrological process, and data assimilation, the Chinese land data assimilation system (CLDAS) is established. Towards the future development of China’s microwave meteorological satellites, employing remote sensing data of currently available SSM/I (special sensor microwave/imager), AMSU (advanced microwave sounding unit), MTI (microwave temperature imager), etc., with ground-based measurements, several operational algorithms and databases for atmospheric precipitation, water vapor and liquid water in clouds, and other hydrological/hydrological applications are developed. To advance China’s SAR and InSAR (interferometric SAR) technologies, the image processing and analysis of ERS (European remote sensing), Radarsat SAR, and Chinese SAR, etc., the software platforms are accomplished. Based on the researches of multi-information fusion, some simulations, identification, and information extractions of the targets from complex background clutter scenes are studied. Some experiments of radio wave propagation in anomalous atmospheric status are also carried out. Translated from Advances in Earth Science, 2007, 22(2): 111–125 [译自: 地球科学进展]  相似文献

长江、黄河源区高寒湿地动态变化研究   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

潘竟虎  王建  王建华 《湿地科学》2007,5(4):298-304

长江、黄河源区是中国湿地分布面积最大的地区之一,近年来湿地面积减少、功能退化引起了严重的区域生态环境问题。为了定量分析湿地退化过程,利用1986年的TM和2000年的ETM 卫星遥感数据,在GIS软件支持下,用景观格局指数对长江、黄河源区15a来湿地的分布和变化进行了研究。结果表明,15a间,长江、黄河源区湿地面积减少了2744.77km2,平均减少率为1.2%/a。长江源湿地的退化比黄河源明显。湿地主要是由高寒沼泽草甸湿地向高寒草甸湿地、裸岩裸土地和高寒草原演变,以及由水域向滩地转变。各湿地景观类型斑块数增加,破碎度和分维数提高,优势度降低,湿地景观空间结构趋于复杂,景观异质性增加。15a间研究区湿地生态服务价值降低了37.86×108元。气候干暖化是造成源区湿地变化的主要因素,人类活动加剧了这一进程。  相似文献

An assessment of land degradation in the Save catchment of Zimbabwe     

Julia Mambo  Emma Archer 《Area》2007,39(3):380-391

The lack of reliable baseline information on land degradation is a hindrance towards its monitoring and mitigation. Of particular interest is the identification of areas susceptible to degradation. In this study, remote sensing and GIS technologies were applied to detect and map susceptibility to land degradation in Buhera district, in Save catchment, Zimbabwe. Data used included Landsat TM and ETM imagery for 1992 and 2002, agro-ecological zones, vegetation cover and population density. The study identified five preliminary categories of degradation susceptibility ranging from very high to low.  相似文献

Field‐based and spectral indicators for soil erosion mapping in semi‐arid mediterranean environments (Coastal Cordillera of central Chile)     

Renaud Mathieu  Bernard Cervelle  Dominique Rémy  Marcel Pouget 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2007,32(1):13-31

The Coastal Cordillera of central Chile is naturally sensitive to soil erosion due to moderate to steep slopes, intense winter rains when the vegetation cover is scarce, and deeply weathered granitic rocks. In 1965, 60 per cent of its surface was moderately to very severely eroded. Today this process is still largely active, but no data are currently available to evaluate the real extent, distribution and severity of soil degradation on a regional scale. This information is vital to support efficient soil conservation plans. A multi‐scale approach was implemented to produce regional land degradation maps based on remote sensing technologies. Fieldwork has shown that the surface colour or ‘redness’ and the density of coarse fragments are pertinent erosion indicators to describe a typical sequence of soil degradation in the context of mediterranean soil developed on granitic materials and micaschists. Field radiometric experiments concluded that both factors influence the reflectance of natural surfaces and can be modelled using radiometric indices accessible from most satellites operating in the optical domain, i.e. redness index and brightness index. Finally the radiometric indices were successfully applied to SPOT images to produce land degradation maps. Only broad classes of erosion status were discriminated and the detection of the degradation processes was only possible when most of the fertile layer had already been removed. This technology provides decision‐making information required to develop regional soil conservation plans and to prioritize actions between catchment areas, especially in vast inter‐tropical regions where spatialized data are not always readily available.
