Stratiform clouds show larger brightness temperature (TB) polarization differences (PDs), defined as the vertically polarized TB (TBV) minus the horizontally polarized TB (TBH), with ~10 K PD values at 89 GHz due to the presence of horizontally aligned snowflakes, while convective regions show smaller PD signals, as graupel and/or hail in the updraft tend to become randomly oriented. The launch of the global precipitation measurement (GPM) microwave imager (GMI) has extended the availability of microwave polarized observations to higher frequencies (166 GHz) in the tropics and midlatitudes, previously only available up to 89 GHz. This study analyzes one year of GMI observations to explore further the previously reported stable relationship between the PD and the observed TBs at 89 and 166 GHz, respectively. The latitudinal and seasonal variability is analyzed to propose a cloud scattering polarization parameterization of the PD-TB relationship, capable of reconstructing the PD signal from simulated TBs. Given that operational radiative transfer (RT) models do not currently simulate the cloud polarized signals, this is an alternative and simple solution to exploit the large number of cloud polarized observations available. The atmospheric radiative transfer simulator (ARTS) is coupled with the weather research and forecasting (WRF) model, in order to apply the proposed parameterization to the RT simulated TBs and hence infer the corresponding PD values, which show to reproduce the observed GMI PDs well.

A deep learning approach to improve the retrieval of temperature and humidity profiles from a ground-based microwave radiometer / Xing Yan in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, Vol 58 n° 12 (December 2020)  

Public [article]  inIEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing > Vol 58 n° 12 (December 2020) . - pp 8427 - 8437 Titre : A deep learning approach to improve the retrieval of temperature and humidity profiles from a ground-based microwave radiometer Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xing Yan, Auteur ; Chen Liang, Auteur ; Yize Jiang, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 8427 - 8437 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] analyse diachronique [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] classification par réseau neuronal [Termes IGN] humidité du sol [Termes IGN] modèle atmosphérique [Termes IGN] radiomètre à hyperfréquence [Termes IGN] température au sol Résumé : (auteur) The ground-based microwave radiometer (MWR) retrieves atmospheric profiles with a high temporal resolution for temperature and humidity up to a height of 10 km. Such profiles are critical for understanding the evolution of climate systems. To improve the accuracy of profile retrieval in MWR, we developed a deep learning approach called batch normalization and robust neural network (BRNN). In contrast to the traditional backpropagation neural network (BPNN), which has previously been applied for MWR profile retrieval, BRNN reduces overfitting and has a greater capacity to describe nonlinear relationships between MWR measurements and atmospheric structure information. Validation of BRNN with the radiosonde demonstrates a good retrieval capability, showing a root-mean-square error of 1.70 K for temperature, 11.72% for relative humidity (RH), and 0.256 g/m 3 for water vapor density. A detailed comparison with various inversion methods (BPNN, extreme gradient boosting, support vector machine, ridge regression, and random forest) has also been conducted in this research, using the same training and test data sets. From the comparison, we demonstrated that BRNN significantly improves retrieval accuracy, particularly for the retrieval of temperature and RH near the surface.

Challenges in flood modeling over data-scarce regions: how to exploit globally available soil moisture products to estimate antecedent soil wetness conditions in Morocco / El Mahdi El Khalk in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, vol 20 n° 10 (October 2020)  

Public [article]  inNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences > vol 20 n° 10 (October 2020) . - pp 2591 - 2607 Titre : Challenges in flood modeling over data-scarce regions: how to exploit globally available soil moisture products to estimate antecedent soil wetness conditions in Morocco Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : El Mahdi El Khalk, Auteur ; Yves Tramblay, Auteur ; Christian Massari, Auteur Année de publication : 2020 Article en page(s) : pp 2591 - 2607 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] Advanced scatterometer [Termes IGN] Atlas marocain [Termes IGN] bassin hydrographique [Termes IGN] crue [Termes IGN] humidité du sol [Termes IGN] image SMOS [Termes IGN] inondation [Termes IGN] Maroc [Termes IGN] modèle hydrographique [Termes IGN] modélisation [Termes IGN] variation saisonnière [Termes IGN] zone semi-aride Résumé : (auteur) The Mediterranean region is characterized by intense rainfall events giving rise to devastating floods. In Maghreb countries such as Morocco, there is a strong need for forecasting systems to reduce the impacts of floods. The development of such a system in the case of ungauged catchments is complicated, but remote-sensing products could overcome the lack of in situ measurements. The soil moisture content can strongly modulate the magnitude of flood events and consequently is a crucial parameter to take into account for flood modeling. In this study, different soil moisture products (European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative, ESA-CCI; Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity, SMOS; Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique and Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la Biosphère, SMOS-IC; Advanced Scatterometer, ASCAT; and ERA5 reanalysis) are compared to in situ measurements and one continuous soil-moisture-accounting (SMA) model for basins located in the High Atlas Mountains, upstream of the city of Marrakech. The results show that the SMOS-IC satellite product and the ERA5 reanalysis are best correlated with observed soil moisture and with the SMA model outputs. The different soil moisture datasets were also compared to estimate the initial soil moisture condition for an event-based hydrological model based on the Soil Conservation Service curve number (SCS-CN). The ASCAT, SMOS-IC, and ERA5 products performed equally well in validation to simulate floods, outperforming daily in situ soil moisture measurements that may not be representative of the whole catchment soil moisture conditions. The results also indicated that the daily time step may not fully represent the saturation state before a flood event due to the rapid decay of soil moisture after rainfall in these semiarid environments. Indeed, at the hourly time step, ERA5 and in situ measurements were found to better represent the initial soil moisture conditions of the SCS-CN model by comparison with the daily time step. The results of this work could be used to implement efficient flood modeling and forecasting systems in semiarid regions where soil moisture measurements are lacking.

Improved algorithms for the measurement of total precipitable water and cloud liquid water from SARAL microwave radiometer observations / Rajput Neha Mangalsinh in Marine geodesy, vol 42 n° 4 (July 2019)  

Public [article]  inMarine geodesy > vol 42 n° 4 (July 2019) . - pp 367 - 381 Titre : Improved algorithms for the measurement of total precipitable water and cloud liquid water from SARAL microwave radiometer observations Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Rajput Neha Mangalsinh, Auteur ; Atul Kumar Varma, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 367 - 381 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement d'image radar et applications [Termes IGN] cryosphère [Termes IGN] données altimétriques [Termes IGN] hauteurs de mer [Termes IGN] image GPM [Termes IGN] image SSMIS [Termes IGN] image TRMM-MI [Termes IGN] nuage [Termes IGN] précipitation [Termes IGN] radiomètre à hyperfréquence [Termes IGN] température de luminance [Termes IGN] vapeur d'eau Résumé : (auteur) SARAL carried onboard a radar altimeter that provides very precise measurements of the sea surface height (SSH). Like other altimetric missions, SARAL carries a passive microwave radiometer (PMR) for wet tropospheric correction to SSH. In the present study, new algorithms are developed for the retrieval of cloud liquid water (CLW) and total precipitable water vapor (TPW) over the global oceans from PMR measurements of the brightness temperatures. A radiative transfer and genetic algorithm based retrieval scheme is proposed for the estimation of CLW and TPW from SARAL PMR. The comparisons of CLW from PMR with independent measurements from GPM-GMI and SSMIS within and outside ±40° latitudes show correlation (R) of 0.86 and 0.83, bias of 0.7 and −3.61 mg/cm2, and root mean square error (RMSE) of 8.42 and 8.07 mg/cm2, respectively. Similarly, TPW from PMR with GPM-GMI and SSMIS show R of 0.99 and 0.98, bias of −0.04 and −0.03 g/cm2 and RMSE of 0.17 and 0.17 g/cm2, respectively. The retrieval accuracy of CLW and TPW from the new algorithms is compared with these parameters provided in the SARAL geophysical data records as finished products, which showed substantial improvement in the quality of the parameters from the new algorithm.

Land Surface Remote Sensing in Continental Hydrology, ch. 3. Using satellite scatterometers to monitor continental surfaces / Pierre-Louis Frison (2017)  

Public Titre de série : Land Surface Remote Sensing in Continental Hydrology, ch. 3 Titre : Using satellite scatterometers to monitor continental surfaces Type de document : Chapitre/Contribution Auteurs : Pierre-Louis Frison , Auteur ; Lionel Jarlan, Auteur ; Eric Mougin, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam [Pays Bas] : Elsevier Année de publication : 2017 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Français (fre) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] biomasse aérienne [Termes IGN] dégel [Termes IGN] diffusomètre [Termes IGN] humidité du sol [Termes IGN] stress hydrique [Termes IGN] zone boréale Résumé : (auteur) Scatterometers are sidelooking radar sensors designed to precisely evaluate the radar backscatter coefficient σ0 of the surfaces being observed. However, as we will aim to demonstrate, this high radiometric resolution is obtained at the cost of spatial resolution. Scatterometers are therefore radar sensors complementary to synthetic aperture radars (SAR). These promote spatial resolution at the cost of radiometric resolution. Thus, while current SAR are characterized by a spatial resolution of about 1 m, with a strong radiometric variation linked to the speckle effect, satellite scatterometers have a spatial resolution accurate to about 10 km, with an precision on the estimation of σ0 within a tenth of a decibel. Originally designed in order to evaluate the speed and direction of wind across ocean surfaces, the potential of these sensors for the monitoring of continental surfaces on a regional or global scale has been demonstrated.
