The main problem is the estimation of the ocean surface state from aerospace data. Several years ago we made a series of detailed laboratory experiments with the help of microwave radiometers of mm-, cmand dm-range combined with natural measurements as well as the creation of electrodynamic models of the effects observed. Alongside aircraft optical remote sensing of ocean surface under conditions close to wind speed change was applied. Ocean surface optical images with foam and whitecaps structures were processed by special computer metric algorithms. The focus of the studies was on foam formations as the most common type of two-phase medium in ocean. Laboratory experiments demonstrated radiation spectral and polarization characteristics dependence on foam layer dispersion structure. The effects of high absorption on foam bubbles play the crucial. role, and that accounts for their high emissivity. Experimental data well agree with the quasistatic model. in which effective dielectric permittivity depends on bubbles parameters and size distribution. Microwave properties of spray or concentrated droplet clouds found above foam coverage were investigated on the basis of numerical solution of radiation transfer equation for discrete scattering media. It was shown, in particular, that effects connected with the spray layer influence can yield both positive and negative brightness temperature contrasts, radiation spectrum depending on spray concentration. Undersurface bubble population influence on the ocean microwave radiation is observed mainly in long cmand dmranges. which is connected with the sharp change in skin depth characteristics because of its two-phase structure. Separate microwave investigation of different two-phase structures made it possible to design a complex microwave model of a general two-phase layer spray, foam, and bubble population combined. It is a multiparameter model that takes into account not o n l v the structure hierarchy of a real two-phase medium in the ocean, but also statictics and spatial distribution of wave breaking. We have found, for example. that size histograms and fractal dimensions differ for foam streaks and whitecaps and vary depending on wind-wave generation state. The idea of fractal dimension has resolved the problem of ocean state quantization. We can say also, that wave breaking field is self-similar at different storm conditions. A semiempirical rriridel was designed to desc r ibe the radiation-wind dependence of brightness temperature in the ocean-atmosphere s y s t e m . The concept of combined opticalmicrowave technique could be applied for investigation of global non-linear prr:cesses. wind-wave fetch and surge development in ocean.","PeriodicalId":379014,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Topical Symposium on Combined Optical, Microwave, Earth and Atmosphere Sensing","volume":"340 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129513394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First a data processing system for ocean color remote sensing, which represents derivation of phytoplankton pigment concentrations near the sea surface from the satellite data, is shown. In this system removal of atmospheric light from the space-borne data, which is called atmospheric correction, is an indispensable process. It is well known that atmospheric light is mainly caused by multiply scattered light by aerosols. Therefore we describe an algorithm to set up aerosol models, referring to the Nimbus-7 CZCS data, for our atmospheric correction including multiple scattering light in tlie atmosphere-ocean model. Our algorithm is based on the idea that aerosol characteristics can be estimated in terms of the scattering behavior. Finally it is shown that relationships between the obtained ocean color image and tlie surface temperature map can be used to analyze the oceanic feature.","PeriodicalId":379014,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Topical Symposium on Combined Optical, Microwave, Earth and Atmosphere Sensing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123921441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These tools consist of forward modeling, which represents a (physical) description of the measurement situation, and of inverse modeling, which consists of mathematical techniques to invert the interaction models. In the visible and the microwave region of the spectrum, complementary information of the studied object can be derived with inversion of these remote sensing models. In this paper simple models have been used to illustrate the methodology. Inversion can be accomplished by using linearization techniques and sensitivity analysis of the RS model in study, in order to derive simple linear equations. With help of singular value decomposition these linear equations can be solved which will lead to a set of possible parameter combinat ions. A priori knowledge as the type of vegetation, conditions, time of the year, variations in sensortype, etc. is vital to narrow the solution space. Therefore crop growth models will contribute to a better insight of the inversion problem. Errors in estimation of these parameters can be expressed in confidence limits.

They suffer, however, from the poor sampling available from polar orbiting spacecraft. The current microwave sensor on board the DMSP spacecraft observes a point near the equator approximately 26 times per month. Of these 26 overpasses, it senses precipitation an average of only 10% of the time. With this in mind, it is not surprising that large errors in monthly rain estimates are possible even though the retrievals appear very accurate at the time of overpass. In this paper we discuss a technique for calibrating the less correlated, but far more frequent infrared observations from geostationary platforms with passive microwave observations. Examples over Darwin, Australia and the western Pacific are used to illustrate the merits of such a technique.","PeriodicalId":379014,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Topical Symposium on Combined Optical, Microwave, Earth and Atmosphere Sensing","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121370418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intensive ground truth mapping and information provided by the German Forestry department complemented the remote sensed data sets over the site. The information content of the electromagnetic wave reflected by the vegetation layer is exploited by using a large class of sensors (AVIRIS, TMS, GER 11, AIRSAR) operating from the visible to the microwave regions. In this paper we present preliminary results achieved by computing classical indices derived from optical (NDVI,MSI,GEMI, Red edge ) and radar (backscattered power,polarization indices) data acquired on the same test site.The radiometrically calibrated optical data were first corrected for atmospheric effects, using an empirical method for the GER I1 data and the Atmospheric Removal Procedure for the AVIRIS data. The radar images were calibrated and georeferenced. The various indices were then produced. According to literature, these indices are sensitive to a variety of canopy characteristics such as biomass (leafy and woody), water content and tree growth stage (structure, damage). The retrieved indices were correlated with the available ground information on these variables and their performance was assessed for this particular test site.","PeriodicalId":379014,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Topical Symposium on Combined Optical, Microwave, Earth and Atmosphere Sensing","volume":"46 93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128364263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
