Swath-based remote sensing data often exhibit spatial discontinuities after mapping to latitude-longitude grids at a regular spacing due to uneven sampling caused by varying viewing angles and limitations of the conventional center point-based gridding method (CPGrid). A more complex area-weighted gridding method can enhance spatial continuity, but it requires geometric calculations for each grid and is computationally intensive, especially for large-scale satellite imagery. To balance accuracy and efficiency, we proposed a probabilistic area-weighted gridding method (PAGrid), which approximates area-weighting by aggregating results from multiple randomized spatial perturbations. The performance of PAGrid was evaluated using all available Sentinel-3A and 3B observations in 2022 over Germany. Using the canopy absorption coefficient by chlorophyll in the red-edge band (αRE) as a test variable, we generated 8-day composites and compared results from CPGrid and PAGrid methods. PAGrid increased the median percentage of valid grid cells from 85% to 93% and reduced temporal fluctuations by 21% compared to CPGrid. Additionally, PAGrid improved the correlation (R2) between Sentinel-3A and 3B αRE from 0.73 to 0.84, indicating enhanced data consistency. These improvements indicate that PAGrid is a practical and efficient approach for generating consistent and continuous gridded time series from swath-based satellite observations.
由于视角的变化和传统中心点网格化方法(CPGrid)的局限性,导致采样不均匀,以规则间距映射到经纬度网格后,基于条线的遥感数据往往呈现空间不连续。一种更复杂的面积加权网格方法可以增强空间连续性,但它需要对每个网格进行几何计算,并且计算量很大,特别是对于大型卫星图像。为了平衡精度和效率,我们提出了一种概率面积加权网格方法(PAGrid),该方法通过汇总多个随机空间扰动的结果来近似面积加权。PAGrid的性能是利用2022年在德国上空所有可用的Sentinel-3A和3B观测数据进行评估的。以冠层红边带叶绿素吸收系数(αRE)为测试变量,生成8天的复合材料,并对CPGrid和PAGrid方法的结果进行比较。与CPGrid相比,PAGrid将有效网格单元的中位数百分比从85%提高到93%,并将时间波动降低了21%。此外,PAGrid将Sentinel-3A与3B αRE的相关系数(R2)从0.73提高到0.84,表明数据一致性增强。这些改进表明,PAGrid是一种实用而有效的方法,可以从基于条的卫星观测数据中生成一致和连续的网格时间序列。

Green Area Index (GAI) is a key crop trait obtained through remote sensing with wide applications in agriculture. Although 3D model-driven approaches to retrieve GAI from multispectral reflectance observations are appealing, they are constrained by limitations in the realism of simulated datasets used for training. This study comprehensively explored how to integrate prior information—such as soil background, leaf optical properties, and canopy structure—into radiative transfer models to improve GAI retrieval. A suite of models (MARMIT-2 for soil reflectance, PROSPECT for leaf optical properties, ADEL-Wheat for canopy structure, and LESS for radiative transfer) was employed to generate five simulation datasets incorporating different combinations of prior information. Support Vector Regression (SVR) models were independently trained on these simulated datasets and validated against an extensive data set made of 310 samples of GAI ground measurements and the corresponding SuperDove satellite data. Our results show that stage-specific GAI retrieval integrating detailed prior information on soil and leaf properties (R2 = 0.93, RMSE = 0.47) notably outperforms standard model inversion approaches (R2 = 0.82, RMSE = 0.73). The improved realism of the training dataset stems from three key strategies was discussed in detail including: (1) employing models that integrates physical and biological knowledge; (2) narrowing the training space; and (3) minimizing distribution shifts. While this study focused on GAI estimation for wheat crops using SuperDove observations, the findings can be extended to other crops, vegetation variables, and satellite systems.
绿色面积指数(GAI)是通过遥感获得的重要作物性状,在农业上有着广泛的应用。尽管从多光谱反射率观测中检索GAI的3D模型驱动方法很有吸引力,但它们受到用于训练的模拟数据集真实性的限制。本研究全面探讨了如何将土壤背景、叶片光学特性和冠层结构等先验信息整合到辐射传输模型中,以提高GAI检索效率。采用一套模型(土壤反射率为MARMIT-2,叶片光学特性为PROSPECT,冠层结构为ADEL-Wheat,辐射传输为LESS)生成了包含不同先验信息组合的五个模拟数据集。支持向量回归(SVR)模型在这些模拟数据集上独立训练,并通过310个GAI地面测量样本和相应的SuperDove卫星数据组成的广泛数据集进行验证。我们的研究结果表明,整合土壤和叶片特性详细先验信息的特定阶段GAI检索(R2 = 0.93, RMSE = 0.47)明显优于标准模型反演方法(R2 = 0.82, RMSE = 0.73)。本文详细讨论了提高训练数据集真实感的三个关键策略,包括:(1)采用整合物理和生物知识的模型;(2)缩小培训空间;(3)最小化配送移位。虽然本研究侧重于利用SuperDove观测对小麦作物进行GAI估计,但研究结果可以扩展到其他作物、植被变量和卫星系统。

Wildfires, intensified by climate change, necessitate advanced methods for accurate and near-real-time fire severity mapping to improve emergency response and post-fire recovery strategies. Satellite remote sensing, combined with supervised learning approaches, enhances the accuracy and efficiency of fire severity mapping. This study introduces Decision-Based Hierarchical Learning (DBHL), a novel multi-sensor fire severity classification model that integrates Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR; Sentinel-1 backscatter) and optical (Sentinel-2 reflectance) data. The model was applied to assess wildfire impacts on temperate forests during the 2019/20 “Black Summer” wildfire season in south-eastern Australia. DBHL incorporated SAR-based RADAR-Vegetation Structure Perpendicular Index (R-VSPI) and optical-based Vegetation Structure Perpendicular Index (VSPI) as candidate indices. By integrating these complementary datasets, DBHL leverages both structural and physiological changes as fire severity indicators, addressing limitations in single-sensor approaches. A pixel-wise approach was employed to spatially upscale the applicability of the R-VSPI and VSPI indices for fire severity assessment across the entire region. Using field data, the sensitivities of the R-VSPI and VSPI indices were validated during the immediate post-fire to one-year post-fire period. DBHL was trained and evaluated with a focus on comparing its performance against independent R-VSPI and VSPI classifications. The findings reveal the unique strengths of each index across various fire severity classes, demonstrating their complementary value. R-VSPI is more sensitive to structural changes in forests, while VSPI excels in identifying changes related to canopy-level disturbances. One-year post-fire recovery analysis shows distinct spatial patterns, with VSPI indicating faster recovery in surface vegetation and R-VSPI highlighting prolonged structural recovery. The DBHL model demonstrates the complementary strengths of the indices, allowing fire severity assessments to be contextualized across vertical vegetation strata, distinguishing between canopy-based damage indicators and underlying structural changes. DBHL outperformed single-sensor approaches, achieving the highest classification accuracy (overall accuracy=88.89%, kappa=0.86), particularly improving differentiation of Moderate (partial canopy scorch) and High (full crown scorch) severity with a producer’s accuracy of 100%, and 80%, respectively. Future research is aimed at integrating multi-wavelength SAR, including L-band (1.25 GHz) and P-band (0.43 GHz), along with LiDAR measurements to enhance structural fire severity assessments.
气候变化加剧的野火需要先进的方法来精确和接近实时地绘制火灾严重程度地图,以改进应急反应和火灾后恢复战略。卫星遥感与监督学习方法相结合,提高了火灾严重程度制图的准确性和效率。该研究引入了基于决策的分层学习(DBHL),这是一种集成了合成孔径雷达(SAR)、Sentinel-1背向散射和光学(Sentinel-2反射率)数据的新型多传感器火灾严重性分类模型。该模型被用于评估2019/20年澳大利亚东南部“黑色夏季”野火季节野火对温带森林的影响。DBHL采用基于sar的雷达-植被结构垂直指数(R-VSPI)和基于光学的植被结构垂直指数(VSPI)作为候选指数。通过整合这些互补的数据集,DBHL利用结构和生理变化作为火灾严重性指标,解决了单传感器方法的局限性。采用逐像素的方法对R-VSPI和VSPI指数在整个地区火灾严重程度评估中的适用性进行了空间提升。利用现场数据,验证了R-VSPI和VSPI指数在火灾发生后立即至火灾发生后1年期间的敏感性。对DBHL进行了培训和评估,重点是将其性能与独立的R-VSPI和VSPI分类进行比较。研究结果揭示了每个指数在不同火灾严重等级中的独特优势,展示了它们的互补价值。R-VSPI对森林结构变化更敏感,而VSPI在识别与冠层扰动相关的变化方面表现出色。火灾后1年的恢复分析显示出明显的空间格局,VSPI表明地表植被恢复较快,R-VSPI表明结构恢复较长。DBHL模型展示了指数的互补优势,允许火灾严重性评估在垂直植被层的背景下进行,区分基于冠层的损害指标和潜在的结构变化。DBHL优于单传感器方法,实现了最高的分类精度(总体精度=88.89%,kappa=0.86),特别是提高了中度(部分冠层烧焦)和高度(全冠烧焦)严重程度的区分,生产者的准确率分别为100%和80%。未来的研究目标是整合多波长SAR,包括l波段(1.25 GHz)和p波段(0.43 GHz),以及激光雷达测量,以增强结构火灾严重性评估。

Urban overheating, a confluence of urban heat island and climate change, is escalating alongside the rapid global urbanization. While previous studies have examined how urbanization and vegetation influence surface urban heat islands (SUHI), their nonlinear effects across climate zones remain insufficiently understood. Here, we present a globally consistent assessment of 6022 cities using MODIS Aqua data (MYD11A2) from the summer of 2019, validated with multi-year records (2017–2021), through a self-developed, scalable SUHI quantification method that enables cross-climate comparisons. Our results reveal distinct rapid- and slow-growth zones in SUHI intensification with urban size, with the fastest increase occurring in small cities below the top 20% of global urban size. This uneven rise in SUHI intensity stems from the synergistic effects of urban expansion and vegetation loss. Vegetation cooling exhibits a clear saturation beyond an inflection point, with the equatorial zone showing both weaker cooling efficiency and earlier saturation onset. Using a dual-perspective framework that integrates absolute and relative temperature metrics, we further show that Global South cities experience compounded thermal stress—featuring not only 3.37 ± 0.14 °C higher absolute temperatures due to their geographical setting, but also 0.24 ± 0.05 °C greater SUHI intensity than cities in the Global North. Together, these findings demonstrate that the effectiveness of heat mitigation strategies varies across climates and urbanization stages, underscoring the heightened vulnerability of smaller cities and the need for context-specific, climate-sensitive planning interventions. This study provides a globally integrated yet regionally differentiated understanding of surface urban heat and establishes a planning-relevant framework to guide targeted and climate-sensitive urban heat mitigation strategies.
城市过热是城市热岛和气候变化共同作用的结果,随着全球城市化的快速发展,城市过热正在加剧。虽然以前的研究已经研究了城市化和植被如何影响地表城市热岛(SUHI),但它们在气候带上的非线性效应仍然没有得到充分的了解。在这里,我们使用2019年夏季的MODIS Aqua数据(MYD11A2)对6022个城市进行了全球一致的评估,并通过自主开发的可扩展SUHI量化方法(可以进行跨气候比较)验证了多年记录(2017-2021)。我们的研究结果显示,随着城市规模的增加,SUHI的加剧有明显的快速和缓慢增长区域,其中增长最快的是全球城市规模前20%以下的小城市。这种不均衡的SUHI强度上升源于城市扩张和植被损失的协同效应。植被降温在拐点以外表现出明显的饱和,赤道区降温效率较弱,饱和开始时间较早。通过综合绝对和相对温度指标的双重视角框架,我们进一步发现,全球南方城市经历了复合热应力——由于地理位置的原因,绝对温度不仅高出3.37±0.14°C,而且SUHI强度比全球北方城市高出0.24±0.05°C。总之,这些研究结果表明,热缓解战略的有效性因气候和城市化阶段的不同而异,强调了小城市的脆弱性加剧,以及针对具体情况采取气候敏感型规划干预措施的必要性。该研究提供了一个全球整合但区域差异的城市地表热理解,并建立了一个与规划相关的框架,以指导有针对性和气候敏感的城市热缓解战略。

Forest ecosystems, covering about one-third of the Earth’s mainland, are vital for providing essential ecosystem services. However, their extent and health are threatened by climate change. Remote sensing has the potential to evaluate the condition and functionality of global forests, but methodological and technological challenges impede the quantitative estimation of forest traits from spaceborne imagery. The development of next-generation sensors and advanced retrieval algorithms offers the chance to overcome these obstacles, though such data and models need development and testing. In this study we investigated and compared the potential of machine learning regression algorithms (MLRA) and hybrid approaches combining MLRA and radiative transfer simulations for the retrieval of forest traits from PRISMA spaceborne imagery. We tested the method in the Ticino Park, a mid-latitude forest located in northern Italy. We conducted an intensive field campaign in the summer of 2022 concurrently with four PRISMA overpasses to collect trait samples for calibrating and validating the retrieval schemes. Our results demonstrated the capability of PRISMA images and hybrid models to accurately quantify Leaf Chlorophyll Content (LCC) (r2=0.67, nRMSE=13.5 %), Leaf Nitrogen Content (LNC) (r2=0.82, nRMSE=9.5 %), Leaf Water Content (LWC) (r2=0.98, nRMSE=3.5 %), Leaf Mass per Area (LMA) (r2=0.93, nRMSE=6.6 %) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) (r2=0.83, nRMSE=11.7 %) in forest ecosystems. Conversely, Leaf Carotenoid Content (Ccx) yielded a lower accuracy (r2=0.43, nRMSE=13.5 %), indicating potential for improvement. The results evidenced a slightly superior performance of hybrid approaches over purely statistical approaches. The application of the models to PRISMA images acquired before and after a severe drought event corroborated the effectiveness of the models to provide reliable estimates in operational conditions. This underscores the valuable role of next-generation models and hyperspectral spaceborne imagery for forest monitoring. To our knowledge, this is the first study to appraise hybrid retrieval schemes with real spaceborne hyperspectral data for mapping multiple forest traits, thereby providing a reference framework for future applications.
森林生态系统约占地球大陆面积的三分之一,对提供基本的生态系统服务至关重要。然而,它们的范围和健康受到气候变化的威胁。遥感具有评价全球森林状况和功能的潜力,但方法和技术方面的挑战阻碍了从星载图像对森林特征进行定量估计。下一代传感器和先进检索算法的发展为克服这些障碍提供了机会,尽管这些数据和模型需要开发和测试。在这项研究中,我们研究并比较了机器学习回归算法(MLRA)和结合MLRA和辐射转移模拟的混合方法在从PRISMA星载图像中检索森林性状的潜力。我们在提契诺公园测试了这种方法,提契诺公园是位于意大利北部的中纬度森林。我们于2022年夏季在四个PRISMA立交桥上进行了密集的实地调查,以收集性状样本,用于校准和验证检索方案。结果表明,PRISMA图像和混合模型能够准确量化森林生态系统叶片叶绿素含量(LCC) (r2=0.67, nRMSE= 13.5%)、叶片氮含量(LNC) (r2=0.82, nRMSE= 9.5%)、叶片含水量(LWC) (r2=0.98, nRMSE= 3.5%)、叶面积质量(LMA) (r2=0.93, nRMSE= 6.6%)和叶面积指数(LAI) (r2=0.83, nRMSE= 11.7%)。相反,叶片类胡萝卜素含量(Ccx)的准确度较低(r2=0.43, nRMSE= 13.5%),表明有改进的潜力。结果证明混合方法比纯统计方法的性能稍好。将该模型应用于一次严重干旱事件前后获得的PRISMA图像,证实了该模型在操作条件下提供可靠估计的有效性。这强调了下一代模型和高光谱星载图像在森林监测方面的宝贵作用。据我们所知,这是第一个评估混合检索方案与真实的星载高光谱数据绘制多种森林特征的研究,从而为未来的应用提供参考框架。

Our results demonstrated the capability of PRISMA images and hybrid models to accurately quantify Leaf Chlorophyll Content (LCC) (r<sup>2</sup>=0.67, nRMSE=13.5 %), Leaf Nitrogen Content (LNC) (r<sup>2</sup>=0.82, nRMSE=9.5 %), Leaf Water Content (LWC) (r<sup>2</sup>=0.98, nRMSE=3.5 %), Leaf Mass per Area (LMA) (r<sup>2</sup>=0.93, nRMSE=6.6 %) and Leaf Area Index (LAI) (r<sup>2</sup>=0.83, nRMSE=11.7 %) in forest ecosystems. Conversely, Leaf Carotenoid Content (Ccx) yielded a lower accuracy (r<sup>2</sup>=0.43, nRMSE=13.5 %), indicating potential for improvement. The results evidenced a slightly superior performance of hybrid approaches over purely statistical approaches. The application of the models to PRISMA images acquired before and after a severe drought event corroborated the effectiveness of the models to provide reliable estimates in operational conditions. This underscores the valuable role of next-generation models and hyperspectral spaceborne imagery for forest monitoring. To our knowledge, this is the first study to appraise hybrid retrieval schemes with real spaceborne hyperspectral data for mapping multiple forest traits, thereby providing a reference framework for future applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":417,"journal":{"name":"Remote Sensing of Environment","volume":"333 ","pages":"Article 115145"},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145609774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine how, over its first decade, the Sentinel-1 mission has advanced the estimation of ocean surface winds over tropical cyclones, supported their global monitoring, and fostered related research. C-band S1 Synthetic Aperture Radar have been instrumental in refining wind retrieval algorithms, relying on the co- and cross-polarized normalized radar cross-section sensitivity to the ocean wind–waves, especially for major category (3-5) tropical cyclones observed in wide swath modes. Systematic comparisons with airborne multi-frequency radiometer measurements confirm the ability of Synthetic Aperture Radar to provide estimates of the ocean surface wind field at kilometer resolution during a tropical cyclone (bias of 0.08 m/s, standard deviation of 3.84 m/s, correlation of 0.97) and to extract its main characteristics, including the center of the wind circulation, the maximum possible extent of a given wind speed around the tropical cyclone and the radius of maximum wind. Now available globally and in near-real time at operational tropical cyclone forecasting centers, Synthetic Aperture Radar observations are part of the mix used to diagnose the state of the tropical cyclones and issue warning bulletins. Sentinel-1 decametric-backscatter and kilometric-wind resolutions have also been shown to be a reference for interpreting and calibrating other satellite, in situ measurements, and algorithms. Sentinel-1 synoptic observations benefit from new observing systems. Their synergistic use enables us to provide improved temporal resolution of TCs inner core structural parameters. Research efforts exploiting Synthetic Aperture Radar measurements to document such a dynamical system, infer tropical cyclone boundary layer properties, TC-generated waves, and interactions with the upper ocean are presented. This growing increase in acquisitions from multiple C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar missions (e.g. the Radarsat Constellation Mission) over TCs (a factor of 4 over the last decade), combined with other observational data and numerical models, opens opportunities to revisit robust data-driven approaches. These advances shall support a better representation of tropical cyclones in digital twin frameworks. Both algorithm improvements on existing and future Synthetic Aperture Radar missions are attractive perspectives to provide more accurate predictions and a deeper understanding of these complex weather systems.
我们考察了在最初的十年中,哨兵-1任务如何推进了对热带气旋上空海洋表面风的估计,支持了它们的全球监测,并促进了相关研究。c波段S1合成孔径雷达在改进风反演算法方面发挥了重要作用,它依赖于共极化和交叉极化归一化雷达对海洋风浪的截面灵敏度,特别是对在宽带状模式下观测到的主要类别(3-5)热带气旋。与机载多频辐射计测量结果的系统比较证实了合成孔径雷达能够提供热带气旋期间海面风场的千米分辨率估计(偏差为0.08 m/s,标准差为3.84 m/s,相关系数为0.97),并提取其主要特征,包括风环流中心、给定风速在热带气旋周围的最大可能范围和最大风半径。现在,在全球范围内,在运行的热带气旋预报中心,合成孔径雷达观测是用于诊断热带气旋状态和发布预警公告的组合的一部分。Sentinel-1的十分米后向散射和千米风分辨率也被证明是解释和校准其他卫星、现场测量和算法的参考。哨兵1号天气观测得益于新的观测系统。它们的协同使用使我们能够提供改进的tc内核结构参数的时间分辨率。本文介绍了利用合成孔径雷达测量来记录这种动力系统、推断热带气旋边界层特性、tc产生的波以及与上层海洋的相互作用的研究工作。从多个c波段合成孔径雷达任务(如Radarsat星座任务)获取的数据不断增加(在过去十年中增加了4倍),再加上其他观测数据和数值模型,为重新审视强大的数据驱动方法提供了机会。这些进展将支持在数字孪生框架中更好地表示热带气旋。对现有和未来合成孔径雷达任务的算法改进都是提供更准确预测和更深入了解这些复杂天气系统的有吸引力的观点。

Multimodal remote sensing imagery has been widely used in many fields. However, in specific scenarios, it is challenging to acquire the key modality, making it difficult to extract the land cover mapping information in conditions of missing modalities. Existing missing modality learning methods transfer historical complete modal feature knowledge to single-modal features disrupting their feature distribution, and leading to poor performance in downstream tasks. To address the aforementioned issue, a multimodal remote sensing land cover dataset called EarthMiss is designed to simulate real-world missing modality scenarios. EarthMiss comprises 3355 pairs of 0.6-meter high-resolution Optical and SAR images collected from 13 cities spanning five continents, including 8 common types of land cover objects, making it the multimodal remote sensing dataset with the highest number of classes at this high resolution. Besides, a remote sensing meta modal representation framework named MetaRS is proposed for missing modality land cover mapping task. MetaRS presents a meta-modal aware module to extract modality-invariant features for missing modality feature recovery, and a meta-modal representation regularization training strategy to guide meta-modal focus on task-related feature representation. Specifically, we disentangle features by supervising the covariance matrix of multi-modal features, and knowledge transfer takes place solely, thereby ensuring the consistency of the transferred knowledge. Then, a meta-modal representation branch fuses the meta-features of all modalities and calculates the prediction loss for them. Comprehensive experiments conducted across EarthMiss dataset, four additional benchmarks, and a 2023 Libyan-flood case study demonstrate that MetaRS significantly surpasses existing methods, and provides a promising alternative for multimodal remote sensing applications. The code and dataset used in this study are publicly available at https://github.com/Yi-Heng/EarthMiss
多模态遥感图像在许多领域得到了广泛的应用。然而,在特定的场景中,获取关键模态是一项挑战,这使得在模态缺失的情况下提取土地覆盖制图信息变得困难。现有的缺失模态学习方法将历史上完整的模态特征知识转移到单模态特征上,破坏了单模态特征的分布,导致下游任务的性能不佳。为了解决上述问题,设计了一个名为EarthMiss的多模态遥感土地覆盖数据集来模拟真实世界的模态缺失情景。EarthMiss包括来自五大洲13个城市的3355对0.6米高分辨率光学和SAR图像,包括8种常见的土地覆盖对象,是该高分辨率下类别最多的多模态遥感数据集。此外,针对缺失模态土地覆盖制图任务,提出了一个遥感元模态表示框架MetaRS。MetaRS提出了一个元模态感知模块,用于提取模态不变特征,用于缺失模态特征的恢复;提出了一个元模态表示正则化训练策略,用于指导元模态关注与任务相关的特征表示。具体而言,我们通过监督多模态特征的协方差矩阵来解纠缠特征,并且知识转移单独进行,从而保证了转移知识的一致性。然后,一个元模态表示分支融合所有模态的元特征,并计算它们的预测损失。通过EarthMiss数据集、四个附加基准和2023年利比亚洪水案例研究进行的综合实验表明,MetaRS显著优于现有方法,并为多模态遥感应用提供了一个有希望的替代方案。本研究中使用的代码和数据集可在https://github.com/Yi-Heng/EarthMiss上公开获取

Buried lakes are widely distributed on the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) after summer. Some of these lakes may drain over winter, thereby delivering meltwater into the ice sheet and potentially influencing ice flow dynamics. However, to date, only a limited number of buried lake drainages (BLDs) have been identified and their spatiotemporal dynamics across the GrIS remain unclear. Here we detect pan-GrIS wintertime BLDs by integrating Sentinel-1 and -2 satellite imagery and ArcticDEM data. We begin by locating potential buried lakes with topographic depressions. Then we identify the depressions with significant wintertime backscatter increases as potential BLDs using Sentinel-1 SAR imagery. Next, we map the maximum summertime meltwater area using Sentinel-2 imagery and select the potential BLDs with sufficient summertime meltwater as final BLDs. Finally, we categorize these final BLDs into three types (complete BLDs, partial BLDs, and low-confidence BLDs), and we also investigate potential ice velocity anomalies (IVAs) triggered by BLDs using ice velocity data. The results show that: (1) 167 complete and partial BLDs are identified over seven winters from 2017 to 2023 on the GrIS, including 25 cascade drainages; their spatiotemporal distributions vary significantly, with most BLDs detected at the NW, CW, and SW basins in November. (2) Wintertime BLDs potentially trigger 10 significant IVAs (up to 50 %), and may lead to a net increase in annual ice motion. (3) Wintertime IVAs triggered by BLDs are significantly higher than summertime IVAs triggered by supraglacial lake drainages; they propagate downstream along subglacial hydrologic pathways rather than ice flowlines. (4) BLDs can even trigger rerouting of subglacial hydrologic pathways over a short time period. In conclusion, we present a new method of detecting sparse wintertime BLDs over large areas and reveal that BLDs have a more profound effect on ice flow dynamics than previously assumed.
夏季过后,格陵兰冰盖(GrIS)上广泛分布着埋藏湖。其中一些湖泊可能在冬季干涸,从而将融水输送到冰盖中,并可能影响冰流动力学。然而,迄今为止,仅确定了有限数量的埋藏湖排水(BLDs),其在GrIS上的时空动态尚不清楚。在这里,我们通过整合Sentinel-1和2卫星图像和ArcticDEM数据来检测pan-GrIS冬季bld。我们首先定位具有地形洼地的潜在埋藏湖泊。然后,我们利用Sentinel-1的SAR图像识别出冬季后向散射显著增加的洼地作为潜在的bld。接下来,我们利用Sentinel-2图像绘制夏季最大融水面积,并选择具有充足夏季融水的潜在bld作为最终bld。最后,我们将这些最终的bld分为三种类型(完全bld、部分bld和低置信度bld),并利用冰速数据研究了bld引发的潜在冰速异常(IVAs)。结果表明:(1)2017 - 2023年7个冬季,GrIS共识别出167个完全和部分bld,其中梯级流域25个;它们的时空分布差异显著,11月在NW、CW和SW盆地检测到的bld最多。(2)冬季bld可能触发10个显著的iva(高达50%),并可能导致年冰运动的净增加。(3)冬季湖泊径流触发的iva显著高于夏季湖泊径流触发的iva;它们沿着冰下水文通道而不是冰流线向下游传播。(4) bld甚至可以在短时间内引发冰下水文路径的改道。总之,我们提出了一种新的方法来探测大面积的冬季稀疏bld,并揭示了bld对冰流动力学的影响比以前假设的更深远。

Near-real-time (NRT) daily crop monitoring at the field scale is crucial for precision agriculture, yet remains challenging due to limitations in the spatial or temporal resolution of existing remote sensing methods. While Sentinel-2 provides adequate spatial resolution for field-level applications, its temporal resolution is insufficient for capturing rapid crop dynamics, especially in cloudy regions. Existing spatiotemporal fusion techniques require multiple clear-sky images and lack true NRT capability, while ground-based sensors offer continuous monitoring but with limited spatial coverage. To address these limitations, this study develops the Near-Real-Time Ground-Satellite Fusion (NRT-GSF) algorithm, a novel approach based on a Bayesian dynamic linear model and Kalman filtering. The algorithm uniquely integrates Sentinel-2 imagery with continuous measurements from Internet of Things for Agriculture (IoTA) systems to generate daily 10-m Green Area Index (GAI) products. Its recursive framework supports both forward prediction in NRT mode following satellite overpasses and backward updating to refine historical profiles. Implemented over French wheat fields using 34 IoTA systems and Sentinel-2 time series from 2019, the algorithm effectively enhanced spatiotemporal completeness and accuracy (R = 0.75–0.98, RMSE = 0.1–0.49). A comprehensive leave-one-out Sentinel-2 evaluation demonstrated its superiority over the current Consistent Adjustment of the Climatology to Actual Observations (CACAO) algorithm. Ground validation using handheld RGB cameras further confirmed the accuracy of the GAI products from the new algorithm (RMSE = 0.5). The NRT-GSF framework offers a robust and operationally solution for daily, high-resolution crop GAI mapping in NRT mode, and it can be extended to other traits or applications in the near-real-time context.
近实时(NRT)田间作物日常监测对于精准农业至关重要,但由于现有遥感方法的空间或时间分辨率的限制,仍然具有挑战性。虽然Sentinel-2为田间应用提供了足够的空间分辨率,但其时间分辨率不足以捕捉作物的快速动态,特别是在多云地区。现有的时空融合技术需要多幅晴空图像,缺乏真正的NRT能力,而地面传感器提供连续监测,但空间覆盖有限。为了解决这些限制,本研究开发了近实时地面卫星融合(NRT-GSF)算法,这是一种基于贝叶斯动态线性模型和卡尔曼滤波的新方法。该算法独特地将Sentinel-2图像与来自农业物联网(IoTA)系统的连续测量相结合,生成每日10米的绿地指数(GAI)产品。它的递归框架既支持NRT模式下的卫星立交桥前向预测,也支持后向更新以优化历史概况。利用34个IoTA系统和2019年的Sentinel-2时间序列在法国麦田上实施,该算法有效提高了时空完整性和准确性(R = 0.75 ~ 0.98, RMSE = 0.1 ~ 0.49)。对Sentinel-2进行了全面的“留一”评价,结果表明其优于现行的CACAO (Consistent Adjustment of Climatology to Actual Observations)算法。手持RGB相机的地面验证进一步证实了新算法的GAI产品的准确性(RMSE = 0.5)。NRT- gsf框架为NRT模式下的日常高分辨率作物GAI制图提供了一个强大的、可操作的解决方案,它可以扩展到近实时环境下的其他性状或应用。

FoScenes: A high-fidelity, large-scale 3D forest plant area density product derived from open-access airborne lidar data FoScenes:基于开放式机载激光雷达数据的高保真、大规模3D森林植物面积密度产品

The accurate three-dimensional (3D) distribution of plant area density (PAD) within forests is crucial for understanding canopy structure and provides essential scene inputs for 3D Radiative Transfer Models (RTMs) to facilitate remote sensing interpretation. However, current lidar-based voxelization methods that estimate detailed PAD distributions often cover limited areas, constraining their applications in conducting broad forest studies and interpreting Earth Observation Satellite (EOS) data of various scales and resolutions. To address this, we developed the Large-Scale Path Volume Leaf Area Density (LS-PVlad), a novel forest 3D reconstruction workflow capable of producing extensive high-resolution 3D voxelized forest scenes (up to 100 km2 with ≤2 m voxel size) from worldwide open-access airborne lidar scanning (ALS) data. By applying LS-PVlad to the ALS data acquired during the extensive NASA Goddard's LiDAR, Hyperspectral & Thermal Imager (G-LiHT) campaigns, we developed the first release of FoScenes—a high-fidelity PAD product comprising 40 seamless scenes from 28 diverse forest sites, with individual area ranging from ∼50 to ∼11,000 ha. The leaf area estimates of LS-PVlad have been validated by two-year field-measured leaf area index (LAI) from litter collection (best RMSE = 0.35 m2/m2) and digital hemispherical photography (DHP) images (RMSE = 0.46 m2/m2) across multiple plots at a deciduous forest site. Additionally, a broad comparison between FoScenes and MODIS plant/leaf area index product demonstrates high consistency (R2 = 0.70, RMSE = 0.86 m2/m2). By providing multi-dimensional forest characterizations, FoScenes enables temporal insights into structure dynamics. Its integration with the discrete anisotropic radiative transfer (DART) model underscores the potential of FoScenes for extensive 3D RTM applications at various scales.
森林内植物面积密度(PAD)的精确三维分布对于理解林冠结构至关重要,并为三维辐射传输模型(RTMs)提供必要的场景输入,以促进遥感解译。然而,目前基于激光雷达的体素化方法估计了详细的PAD分布,通常覆盖有限的区域,限制了它们在进行广泛的森林研究和解释各种尺度和分辨率的地球观测卫星(EOS)数据方面的应用。为了解决这个问题,我们开发了大规模路径体积叶面积密度(LS-PVlad),这是一种新的森林3D重建工作流程,能够从全球开放获取的机载激光雷达扫描(ALS)数据中产生广泛的高分辨率3D体素森林场景(高达100平方公里,体素大小≤2米)。通过将LS-PVlad应用于NASA戈达德激光雷达、高光谱热成像仪(g - light)活动期间获得的ALS数据,我们开发了第一个版本的foscenes——一种高保真PAD产品,包括来自28个不同森林地点的40个无缝场景,单个面积从~ 50到~ 11000公顷不等。利用凋落物叶面积指数(LAI)(最佳RMSE = 0.35 m2/m2)和数字半球摄影(DHP)图像(RMSE = 0.46 m2/m2),对LS-PVlad的叶面积估算结果进行了验证。此外,FoScenes与MODIS植物/叶面积指数产品的广泛比较显示出高一致性(R2 = 0.70, RMSE = 0.86 m2/m2)。通过提供多维森林特征,FoScenes能够实时洞察结构动态。它与离散各向异性辐射传输(DART)模型的集成强调了FoScenes在各种尺度上广泛应用3D RTM的潜力。

To address this, we developed the Large-Scale Path Volume Leaf Area Density (LS-PVlad), a novel forest 3D reconstruction workflow capable of producing extensive high-resolution 3D voxelized forest scenes (up to 100 km<sup>2</sup> with ≤2 m voxel size) from worldwide open-access airborne lidar scanning (ALS) data.
