Abstract
Due to the Gibbs oscillation effect of microwave aperture synthesis radiometers (ASRs) occurring near land/ocean transitions, soil moisture and ocean salinity (SMOS) brightness temperature (TB) measurements are subject to land contamination in ocean regions (within a few hundred kilometers of the shore). In this article, the magnitude of land contamination in the SMOS L1C TB is demonstrated by comparison with the results of collocated forward modeling. Then, a land contamination correction algorithm for microwave SARs based on a convolutional neural network is presented. The basic process of the algorithm is to design a land contamination mitigation network (LCMN) to learn the land contamination features from the simulated TB dataset of the microwave ASRs and then to use the well-trained network to remap the actual observed TB images to mitigate the land contamination error. Land contamination error correction experiments based on LCMN remapping were executed on SMOS L1C TB data, and the performance of the algorithm was verified by comparison with forward modeling and salinity retrieval. The experimental results show that the proposed LCMN algorithm can effectively mitigate land contamination at the SMOS L1C TB.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing addresses the growing field of applications in Earth observations and remote sensing, and also provides a venue for the rapidly expanding special issues that are being sponsored by the IEEE Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society. The journal draws upon the experience of the highly successful “IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing” and provide a complementary medium for the wide range of topics in applied earth observations. The ‘Applications’ areas encompasses the societal benefit areas of the Global Earth Observations Systems of Systems (GEOSS) program. Through deliberations over two years, ministers from 50 countries agreed to identify nine areas where Earth observation could positively impact the quality of life and health of their respective countries. Some of these are areas not traditionally addressed in the IEEE context. These include biodiversity, health and climate. Yet it is the skill sets of IEEE members, in areas such as observations, communications, computers, signal processing, standards and ocean engineering, that form the technical underpinnings of GEOSS. Thus, the Journal attracts a broad range of interests that serves both present members in new ways and expands the IEEE visibility into new areas.
