However, there is no single global radar data set that has a relatively long wavelength and a decades-long time span. We here provide the first long-term (since 1992), high-resolution (∼8.9 km instead of the commonly used ∼25 km resolution) monthly satellite radar backscatter data set over global land areas, called the long-term, high-resolution scatterometer (LHScat) data set, by fusing signals from the European Remote Sensing satellite (ERS; 1992–2001; C-band; 5.3 GHz), Quick Scatterometer (QSCAT, 1999–2009; Ku-band; 13.4 GHz), and the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT; since 2007; C-band; 5.255 GHz). The 6-year data gap between C-band ERS and ASCAT was filled by modelling a substitute C-band signal during 1999–2009 from Ku-band QSCAT signals and climatic information. To this end, we first rescaled the signals from different sensors, pixel by pixel. We then corrected the monthly signal differences between the C-band and the scaled Ku-band signals by modelling the signal differences from climatic variables (i.e. monthly precipitation, skin temperature, and snow depth) using decision tree regression. The quality of the merged radar signal was assessed by computing the Pearson r, root mean square error (RMSE), and relative RMSE (rRMSE) between the C-band and the corrected Ku-band signals in the overlapping years (1999–2001 and 2007–2009). We obtained high Pearson r values and low RMSE values at both the regional (r≥0.92, RMSE ≤ 0.11 dB, and rRMSE ≤ 0.38) and pixel levels (median r across pixels ≥ 0.64, median RMSE ≤ 0.34 dB, and median rRMSE ≤ 0.88), suggesting high accuracy for the data-merging procedure. The merged radar signals were then validated against the European Space Agency (ESA) ERS-2 data, which provide observations for a subset of global pixels until 2011, even after the failure of on-board gyroscopes in 2001. We found highly concordant monthly dynamics between the merged radar signals and the ESA ERS-2 signals, with regional Pearson r values ranging from 0.79 to 0.98. These results showed that our merged radar data have a consistent C-band signal dynamic. The LHScat data set (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.20407857; Tao et al., 2023) is expected to advance our understanding of the long-term changes in, e.g., global vegetation and soil moisture with a high spatial resolution. The data set will be updated on a regular basis to include the latest images acquired by ASCAT and to include even higher spatial and temporal resolutions.

In this study, we investigated the benefit of combining airborne (laser scanning, image-based point clouds) and satellite-based (Sentinel 1 and 2) data for habitat classification. We used a two level random forest 10-fold leave-location-out cross-validation workflow to model Natura 2000 forest and grassland habitat types on a 10 m pixel scale at two study sites in Vienna, Austria. We showed that models using combined airborne and satellite-based remote sensing data perform significantly better for forests than airborne or satellite-based data alone. For frequently occurring classes, we reached class accuracies with F1-scores from 0.60 to 0.87. We identified clear difficulties of correctly assigning rare classes with model-based classification. Finally, we demonstrated the potential of the workflow to identify errors in reference data and point to the opportunities for integration in habitat mapping and monitoring.

A new strategy for improving the accuracy of forest aboveground biomass estimates in an alpine region based on multi-source remote sensing / Yali Zhang in GIScience and remote sensing, vol 60 n° 1 (2023)  

Public [article]  inGIScience and remote sensing > vol 60 n° 1 (2023) . - n° 2163574 Titre : A new strategy for improving the accuracy of forest aboveground biomass estimates in an alpine region based on multi-source remote sensing Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Yali Zhang, Auteur ; Ni Wang, Auteur ; Yuliang Wang, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 2163574 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] biomasse forestière [Termes IGN] carte forestière [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] données multisources [Termes IGN] image Landsat-ETM+ [Termes IGN] image Landsat-OLI [Termes IGN] image Landsat-TM [Termes IGN] image radar moirée [Termes IGN] image Sentinel-MSI [Termes IGN] phénologie [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Termes IGN] santé des forêts Résumé : (auteur) Spatially explicit information on the distribution of dominant tree species groups and aboveground biomass (AGB) in forested areas is essential for developing targeted forest management and biodiversity conservation measures, as well as assessing forest carbon sequestration capacity. There is a shortage of continuously updated 30-m spatial resolution products for mapping dominant tree species groups. The vast majority of remote sensing-based AGB estimation approaches have relatively low accuracy for dominant tree species groups or forest types and are unsuitable for AGB modeling. Therefore, this study aims to develop an integrated framework that considers the phenological characteristics of different tree species to improve the mapping accuracies of forest dominant tree groups and corresponding AGB estimates. Thirty-meter resolution maps of dominant tree species groups were created using machine learning algorithms and phenological parameters. Features extracted from optical and radar images and phenological characteristics were used to construct AGB estimation models in a temporally consistent manner to improve the AGB estimation accuracy and perform dynamic AGB monitoring. The proposed method accurately characterized the dynamic distribution of the dominant tree species groups in the study area. The traditional AGB model that does not consider different forest types or species had an R2 value of 0.52, whereas the proposed model that considers phenology and forest types had an R2 value of 0.67. This result indicates that incorporating information on phenology and dominant species improves the accuracy of AGB estimations. The AGB in most regions was 30–55 t/ha, showing that the majority of the forests were young or middle-aged stands, and the areal percentage of AGB greater than 30 t/ha increased during the study period, suggesting an improvement in forest quality. Furthermore, the oak AGB was the highest, indicating that oak afforestation should be encouraged to enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of future forest ecosystems. The results provide new insights for researchers and managers to understand the trends of forest development and forest health, as well as technical information and a database for formulating more rational forest management strategies.

Remote sensing techniques for water management and climate change monitoring in drought areas: case studies in Egypt and Tunisia / Lifan Ji in European journal of remote sensing, vol 56 n° 1 (2023)

Environmental analysis approaches based on optical and synthetic aperture radar data were carried out to set up the basis for future implementation of practical and cost-effective methods for sustainable water use in agriculture. Long-term behaviors of vegetation indices were thus analyzed between 2000 and 2018. By using SAR data from Sentinel-1, an Artificial Neural Network-based algorithm was implemented for estimating soil moisture and monthly maps for 2018 have been generated to be compared with information derived from optical indices. Moreover, a novel drought severity index was developed and applied to available data. The index was obtained by combining vegetation soil difference index, derived from optical data, and soil moisture content derived from SAR data. The proposed index was found capable of complementing optical and microwave sensitivity to drought-related parameters, although ground data are missing for correctly validating the results, by capturing drought patterns and their temporal evolution better than indices based only on microwave or optical data.
