These radiances were evaluated quantitatively for various ,sun positions and target slope orientations by using the backward Monte Cdo method. Especially, the evaluation of adjacency effect due to multiple reflections of light by surrounding slopes for realistic topographic conditions was, for the first time, given here. A backward Monte Carlo technique was used to shorten the computer time. We found that the effect of adjacent slope radiance (the adjacency effects) on the observed radiance at satellite level is significant and should not be ignored when the solar elevation angle is less than 40 degrees, whereas it is negligible when that angle is larger than 50 degrees. Both Lambertian reflection model and non-Lambertian model (Minnaert model) were examined in this study.","PeriodicalId":441591,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] IGARSS '92 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115375388","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}

Based on that information it overlays symbology at the true target locations on the SAR ground map. Recorded flight data are processed offline to produce interferometric ground maps, displaying intensity and phase information in false color. This paper presents a sampling of results obtained near the Hebrides and Sleat Sound, Scotland, during joint US-UK ocean mapping experiments in July 1991.

Given the nature of the data, new approaches have to be devised for classifying forest types. They rely mainly upon three types of discriminants: those based upon spectral constrasts, temporal changes and, to a lesser degree textural patterns. This paper examines the problem of identifying and characterizing spectral contrasts between the evergreen rain forest, the seasonal mixed decidous forest and various forms of secondary or degraded formations in various parts of Southeast Asia. For that purpose, time series of NOAA AVHRR Local Area Coverage (LAC) and Hight Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) of the 1989-1990 period have been processed. The analysis is based mainly upon radiometric transects in the five channels (visible, near-infrared and thermal) of the AVHRR across neighbouring vegetation cover types. The problem of establishing a typology of forest-non forest interfaces as seen at the low AVHRR resolution is also discussed and illustrated using a series of examples. The steps of the analysis described in the paper are considered essential to carry out a systematic monitoring of the tropical forest cover over large areas using the AVHRR instrument.","PeriodicalId":441591,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] IGARSS '92 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127477230","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}

Gentili, Angelo Freni","doi":"10.1109/IGARSS.1992.578518","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IGARSS.1992.578518","url":null,"abstract":"Monitoring the temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall events is essential to the prevention and mitigation of natural hazards such as flash floods and landslides. Other applications include developing a database from which climatological behavior of storm information might be determined for improved understanding of storm dynamics of cloud physics, effects on radio Propagation links and rainfield statistics for rainfall prediction. Presently, spatial interpolation of point raingage measurements or weather radar rainfall estimates are employed for these purposes. However, these methods have limitations (such as low spatial and temporal resolution attained when using raingage networks or the loss of spatial coverage when using radar in complex terrain) which hamper their unconditional reliability. Alternatively, increasing reliability via denser raingage telemetry networks can lead to exorbitant costs associated with system complexity, maintenance and operation. Tomographic reconstruction algorithms have been prevalently used in the medical imaging field wherein a series of one-dimensional measurements or projections are transformed into a two-dimensional cross sectional image. The potential high resolution attained using these methods, coupled with their non-invasive nature, have made tomographic imaging attractive to widely diverse applications such as geophysical imaging, nondestructive testing in industrial manufacturing, and most recently, imaging ground-level rain intensities [ 11. Repeated over time, tomographic im-g of rainfall can monitor both spatial and temporal characteristics as rain events develop. For certain applications, this method possesses a significant advantage over current methods which use either raingages or weather radar, as it allows the observation of rain events in real-time (or near real-hf) with relatively high resolution over a reasonably large area (e.g. 500 km ). The original work by Giuli et al. [l] proved the feasibility of implementing tomographic imaging of rainfall fields using one-way specific attenuation measurements over a small fixed network. However, the use of specific attenuation measurements alone for tomographic reconstruction is not without limitation. Besides affirming the original techniques developed by Giuli et al. this paper explores the following issues: 1) transmitter and receiver siting as it affects accumulated and lnstantaneo us image formation; 2) inmduction of multi-parameter propagation observables (such as specific differential phase shift and specific differential attenuation) and their role in practical system implementation; 3) basis function selection in deference to physical storm Characteristics; and 4) the ability of the tomographic imaging process to adapt to different types and intensities of storms.","PeriodicalId":441591,"journal":{"name":"[Proceedings] IGARSS '92 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123396275","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}

The Michigan Microwave Canopy Scattering (MIMICS) model, which has shown remarkable success in predicting the radar response to vegetation canopies, was used, as were measured polarimetric backscatter values. Hence, the radiative transfer simulation code, MIMICS, was used to produce some of the training data.
