Several recent studies suggest that glaciers are experiencing rapid melt. The glaciers health can be best assessed by mass balance. However, the mass balance investigations using in-situ methods for a large sample of glaciers are highly difficult in the Himalaya. Hence, remote sensing methods and modelling techniques are preferred. However, there is a lack of information on uncertainties associated with these methods in assessing the regional scale mass balance. Hence, these methods are applied to evaluate the regional scale mass budget of Baspa basin, Western Himalaya between 2000 and 2011. The total mass loss estimated using geodetic method amounts to −0.49 ± 0.1 gigatons, temperature index method to −0.43 ± 0.012 gigatons and AAR method to −0.36 ± 0.1 gigatons. Furthermore, this study highlights the limitations of these methods in mass loss evaluation in data scarce Himalayan regions.

The study was conducted on two agricultural areas in Canada, for which a series of RADARSAT-2 (RS2) images were available along with direct measurements of SMC from in situ stations. The analysis confirmed the sensitivity of RS2 backscattering (O°) to SMC. The comparison of SMC with the compact polarimetry (CP) parameters, computed from the RS2 acquisitions by the CP data simulator, pointed out that some CP parameters had a sensitivity to SMC equal or better than O°, with correlation coe?cients up to R ' 0.4. Based on these results, the potential of machine learning (ML) for SMC retrieval was exploited by implementing and testing on the available data an artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm. The algorithm was implemented using several combinations of O° and CP parameters. Validation results of the algorithm with in situ observations confirmed the promising capabilities of the ML techniques for SMC monitoring. Furthermore, results pointed out the potential of CP in improving the SMC retrieval accuracy, especially when used in combination with linearly polarized O°. Depending on the considered input combination, the ANN algorithm was able to estimate SMC with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between 3% and 7% of SMC and R between 0.7 and 0.9.

C-band SAR (synthetic aperture radar) data have been widely used to estimate SSM, whereas few studies have been performed using L-band SAR due to the low availability of L-band SAR data. In this context, the objective of the present paper is to compare the SSM estimation potentials of the C- (Sentinel-1) and L-bands (PALSAR) for wheat and grassland plots. The inversion approach developed in this study uses neural networks to invert the SAR signal and estimate the SSM. For each radar frequency, the developed neural networks were trained using the following as an input vector: SAR incidence angle, SAR polarization (VV for the C-band and HH for the L-band), and NDVI from optical images. Artificial Neural networks (ANNs) were developed and validated using synthetic and real databases. The results showed that the L-band provided slightly less accurate SSM estimates than the C-band. Moreover, the results showed that the accuracies of the SSM estimates for both frequencies strongly depended on the soil roughness (Hrms) and SSM values. From the synthetic database at SSM values less than 25 vol.%, the ANNs underestimated the SSM for Hrms values less than 1.5 cm and overestimated the SSM for Hrms values greater than 1.5 cm. In addition, the ANNs underestimated the SSM value regardless of the Hrms value when the SSM value was greater than 25 vol.%. An RMSE analysis of the SSM estimates showed that the highest RMSE values were observed for the L-band regardless of the SSM value, and high RMSE values were observed for the C-band only in very wet soil conditions (SSM>25 vol.%). From the real database at NDVI values less than 0.7, the RMSE (root mean square error) of the SSM estimates was 4.6 vol.% for the C-band and 5.3 vol.% for the L-band. Most importantly, the L-band enabled the estimation of the SSM under a well-developed vegetation cover (NDVI > 0.7) with an RMSE of 6.7 vol.%, whereas the C-band SAR signal became completely attenuated for some crops when the NDVI value was greater than 0.7, and thus the estimation of SSM was impossible using the C-band.

Sensitivity of GPS tropospheric estimates to mesoscale convective systems in West Africa / Samuel Nahmani in Atmospheric chemistry and physics, vol 19 n° 14 (juillet 2019)    

Public [article]  inAtmospheric chemistry and physics > vol 19 n° 14 (juillet 2019) . - pp 9541 - 9561 Titre : Sensitivity of GPS tropospheric estimates to mesoscale convective systems in West Africa Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Samuel Nahmani , Auteur ; Olivier Bock , Auteur ; Françoise Guichard, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 9541 - 9561 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] Afrique occidentale [Termes descripteurs IGN] bande C [Termes descripteurs IGN] convection [Termes descripteurs IGN] données GPS [Termes descripteurs IGN] GAMIT [Termes descripteurs IGN] GIPSY-OASIS [Termes descripteurs IGN] meso échelle [Termes descripteurs IGN] Niger [Termes descripteurs IGN] propagation troposphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes descripteurs IGN] signal GPS Résumé : (Auteur) This study analyzes the characteristics of GPS tropospheric estimates (zenith wet delays – ZWDs, gradients, and post-fit phase residuals) during the passage of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and evaluates their sensitivity to the research-level GPS data processing strategy implemented. Here, we focus on MCS events observed during the monsoon season of West Africa. This region is particularly well suited for the study of these events due to the high frequency of MCS occurrences in the contrasting climatic environments between the Guinean coast and the Sahel. This contrast is well sampled with data generated by six African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) GPS stations. Tropospheric estimates for a 3-year period (2006–2008), processed with both the GAMIT and GIPSY-OASIS software packages, were analyzed and intercompared. First, the case of a MCS that passed over Niamey, Niger, on 11 August 2006 demonstrates a strong impact of the MCS on GPS estimates and post-fit residuals when the GPS signals propagate through the convective cells as detected on reflectivity maps from the MIT C-band Doppler radar. The estimates are also capable of detecting changes in the structure and dynamics of the MCS. However, the sensitivity is different depending on the tropospheric modeling approach adopted in the software. With GIPSY-OASIS, the high temporal sampling (5 min) of ZWDs and gradients is well suited for detecting the small-scale, short-lived, convective cells, while the post-fit residuals remain quite small. With GAMIT, the lower temporal sampling of the estimated parameters (hourly for ZWDs and daily for gradients) is not sufficient to capture the rapid delay variations associated with the passage of the MCS, but the post-fit phase residuals clearly reflect the presence of a strong refractivity anomaly. The results are generalized with a composite analysis of 414 MCS events observed over the 3-year period at the six GPS stations with the GIPSY-OASIS estimates. A systematic peak is found in the ZWDs coincident with the cold pool crossing time associated with the MCSs. The tropospheric gradients reflect the path of the MCS propagation (generally from east to west). This study concludes that ZWDs, gradients, and post-fit phase residuals provide relevant and complementary information on MCSs passing over or in the vicinity of a GPS station.

SVR with radial basis function kernel was provided the highest adj. R2 (0.95) value for soil moisture retrieval covered by the wheat crop at VV polarization. However, RFR provided the adj. R2 (0.94) value for soil moisture retrieval covered by barley crop at VV polarization using Sentinel-1A satellite data. The adj. R2 (0.94) values were found for the soil moisture covered by corn crop at VV polarization using RFR, SVR linear and radial basis function kernels. The least performance was reported using ANNR model for almost all the crops under investigation. The soil moisture retrieval outcomes were found better at VV polarization in comparison to VH polarization using three different models.
