The goal of the application of this method is to estimate the mixing ratio of different categories within one pixel of the lower-resolution data using the classification result of the higher-resolution data, which is considered to be useful for the extrapolation of the information from the higher-resolution data over the wider coverage of the lower-resolution data. The authors tested the estimation accuracy by two kinds of decomposition methods, the maximum likelihood estimation and the minimum distance estimation and also by the multiple regression method. The experimental results showed that the most adequate estimation was obtained by the category decomposition based on the minimum distance estimation.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90411063","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}

A new algorithm based on MODTRAN simulations and neural network regression technique for estimating WVC and LST from the two AVHRR thermal channels is developed. The Navy climatological profiles and measured atmospheric profiles from TOGA COARE upper-air sounding archive were used to simulate AVHRR channels 4 and 5 radiances with different combinations of surface temperature, emissivity, viewing zenith angle. The simulated radiances were then converted to brightness temperatures. A feedforward neural network was used to link those physical parameters with simulated brightness temperatures. This algorithm has been tested using measurements from BOREAS and HAPEX, and results indicate that this procedure performs reasonably well. The required improvements are also highlighted.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84855430","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}

Because of high altitude and difficulties in access, regular, systematic surveys of glacier variation are almost impossible in some regions of the Tibetan plateau. As a result, remote sensing techniques are at present the primary, in many cases the only way to measure the state of glaciers. In combination with GIS, it provides an efficient tool to analyze the current state and changes in glaciers. The authors used a technique of integrated remote sensing and GIS to map and measure on the changes in glaciers using a 21-year series of Landsat images (from 1973 to 1994) and topographic maps on a study site on the Tibetan plateau. The details of glacier fluctuation, such as area of glaciers and the changes in the magnitude of recession or advance of a glacier terminus on different dates, are described based on the results of image analysis, including coregistration, classification, vector analysis, and area calculation. Within the study area, during the 21 years, it was determined that the northern glaciers advanced and the southern glaciers retreated, the average rate of change was 50 to 105 m a/sup -1/. The results show that Landsat data provide an important source of information for studies of glacier variation.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76711287","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}

A meteorological model framework was set up to determine the melting stage of various frozen particles below the freezing layer. Different approaches for calculating the effective permittivity of mixed particles were compared. The resulting extinction coefficients, single scattering albedos, and asymmetry parameters indicate a maximum effect when a water matrix with air/ice inclusions is assumed. Extreme local differences of 20-25% between the optical parameters employing either a Marshall-Palmer or a Gamma-type dropsize distribution occur. When radiative transfer calculations are carried out, maximum deviations of >20 K at low frequencies are observed. Neglecting the melting effect may lead to severe overestimations of surface rainrates by up to 100% in stratiform conditions.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78555428","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 forests are complex in species distribution and structure so generalised models of radar backscatter are difficult to develop. However, empirical studies suggest a sensitivity of L-band SAR to the biomass density in these forests which may be employed to map and measure their growth. This paper investigates a simple empirical model representing the response of the JERS-1 SAR to the biomass density of regenerating forest in Brazil. This model was verified using independent data sources and employed to map biomass density over large regions of Amazonia from large scale JERS-1 image mosaics provided by NASDA.","PeriodicalId":64877,"journal":{"name":"遥感信息","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75327064","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}
