Nevertheless, the issue of a possible systematic bias in the data was identified immediately after first TOPEX measurements were compared with measurements from other sources. The bias issue has remained open for decades, and it has increased in complexity because each new mission had its different bias. The purpose of this paper is to assess the problem of TEC bias of altimeters. Two approaches have been followed. The first one relied on the TEC data series of the four altimeters to determine inter-mission systematic biases using the last available data versions for each mission. The second approach consisted of inspecting the missions’ official reports to trace changes of the inter-mission and inter-version biases, including biases relative to DORIS ionospheric measurements. Both approaches have converged and resulted in the determination of a reference frame where missions, instruments and ionospheric reference levels could be compared. This reference frame was also used to analyze results published in representative papers during the last decades, including ionospheric data from the ENVISAT mission. This reference frame could help to assess TEC levels of the announced new data version of Jason-2, Jason-3 and the imminent Jason-CS/Sentinel missions. The main conclusion of this work is that Jason-1, ‘E’ data version, defines a TEC reference level which is compatible with most of the results found in the literature.

Establishing vertical separation models for vulnerable coastlines in developing territories / Cassandra Nanlal in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 5 (September 2021)

To date, the development of such models has been undertaken in areas where long-term sea level measurements exist and there are resources for extensive offshore bathymetric and Global Navigation Satellite Systems surveys. Many small island developing states and other resource constrained territories host vulnerable coastal zones and would benefit from such models, however, financial constraints and data sparsity make it difficult. This article describes the establishment of a vertical separation model using an amalgamation of long- and short-term sea level measurements with hydrodynamic modeling. With existing vertical separations at only two coastal points for comparison, the model was designed to include a tidal prediction element which allowed for validation against sparse independently observed sea levels. Considering that unmodeled influences on sea levels in the study area can exceed 0.2 m at times, the method was tested against independently observed sea levels and can be considered successful with variances in the range of 1.3–4.5% of the average tidal range for the study area. This research provides the means of addressing a significant need in developing territories where long-term sea level records are unavailable and resource deficiencies exist.

Shore zone classification from ICESat-2 data over Saint Lawrence Island / Huan Xie in Marine geodesy, vol 44 n° 5 (September 2021)  

Public [article]  inMarine geodesy > vol 44 n° 5 (September 2021) . - pp 454 - 466 Titre : Shore zone classification from ICESat-2 data over Saint Lawrence Island Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Huan Xie, Auteur ; Yuan Sun, Auteur ; Xiaoshuai Liu, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 454 - 466 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Lasergrammétrie [Termes IGN] Alaska (Etats-Unis) [Termes IGN] Bering, mer de [Termes IGN] données ICEsat [Termes IGN] Google Earth [Termes IGN] indicateur environnemental [Termes IGN] littoral [Termes IGN] modèle de régression [Termes IGN] photon [Termes IGN] sédiment Résumé : (Auteur) The shore zone is the most active zone in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and lithosphere of nature, and has the environmental characteristics of both ocean and land. The ICESat-2 satellite provides height measurements of shore zone using a photon-counting LiDAR. The purpose of this study is to explore the application potential of ICESat-2 satellite data in shore zone classification. Saint Lawrence Island, Alaska, was chosen as the study area. Firstly, in this study, the upper and lower boundaries of the shore zone of the study area were extracted based on Google Earth images. The slope and width between the two boundaries were then calculated according to the formula. Secondly, six statistical indicators (standard deviation, relative standard deviation, average absolute deviation, relative average deviation, absolute median error and quartile deviation) related to the substrate and sediment classification that could reflect the characteristics of the shore zone profile were extracted, and the statistical indicators were used as input parameters of the softmax regression model for classification. Finally, the accuracy of the shore zone classification was validated using the ShoreZone classification system. The results show that, among the 246 shore zone sections in the study area, 86% (212) has been correctly classified. The results therefore indicate that ICESat-2 data can be used to support the characterization of shore zone morphology.

In this study, six methods, including partial least squares regression, regression kriging, k-nearest neighbour, support vector machines, random forest and high accuracy surface modelling (HASM), were used to simulate forest AGB. Forest AGB was mapped by combining Geoscience Laser Altimeter System data, optical imagery and field inventory data. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Wide Dynamic Range Vegetation Index (WDRVI0.2) of September and October, which had a stronger correlation with forest AGB than that of the peak growing season, were selected as predictor variables, along with tree cover percentage and three GLAS-derived parameters. The results of the different methods were evaluated. The HASM model had the best modelling accuracy (small MAE, RMSE, NRMSE, RMSV and NMSE and large R2). A forest AGB map of the study area was generated using the optimal model.

The potential impact of hydrodynamic leveling on the quality of the European vertical reference frame / Yosra Afrasteh in Journal of geodesy, vol 95 n° 8 (August 2021)

In doing so, we used variance information from the latest UELN adjustment. The model-based hydrodynamic leveling data are assumed to be obtained from not-yet existing hydrodynamic models covering either all European seas surrounding the European mainland or parts of it that provide the required mean water level with uniform precision. A heuristic search algorithm was implemented to identify the set of hydrodynamic leveling connections that provide the lowest median of the propagated height standard deviations. In the scenario in which we only allow for connections between tide gauges located in the same sea basin, all having a precision of 3 cm, the median of the propagated height standard deviations improved by 38% compared to the spirit leveling-only solution. Except for the countries around the Black Sea, coastal countries benefit the most with a maximum improvement of 60% for Great Britain. We also found decreased redundancy numbers for the observations in the coastal areas and over the entire Great Britain. Allowing for connections between tide gauges among all European seas increased the impact to 42%. Lowering the precision of the hydrodynamic leveling data lowers the impact. The results show, however, that even in case the assumed precision is 5 cm, the overall improvement is still 29%. The second objective is to identify which tide gauges are most profitable in terms of impact. Our results show that these are the ones located in Sweden in which most height markers are located. The impact, however, hardly depends on the geographic location of the tide gauges within a country.
