Especially, public spaces intended for use by pedestrians and cyclists, such as parks, squares, residential and commercial streets, and foot and cycle paths will be used and enjoyed more frequently if they have a comfortable and healthy climate. Due to the predicted global temperature increase, urban climate is likely to become more uncomfortable, especially in summer when an increase in heat stress is expected. Urban forestry has been proposed as one approach for mitigating the human health consequences of increased temperature resulting from climate change. The aims of the current research were to (a) provide a transferable methodology useful for analyzing the effect of urban trees on surface temperature reduction, particularly in public spaces, and (b) provide high-resolution urban mapping for adaptation strategies to climate change based on green space projects. To achieve the established aims, we developed a methodology that uses multisource data: LiDAR data, high-resolution Landsat imagery, global climate model data from CMIP5 (IPPC Fifth Assessment), and data from meteorological stations. The proposed model can be a useful tool for validating the efficiency of design simulations of new green spaces for temperature mitigation.

A primary feature of SDMs is the underlying spatial resolution, which can be chosen for many reasons, though we propose that a hybrid lattice, in which grid cell sizes vary with the density of forest inventory plots, provides benefits over uniform grids. We examine how the spatial grain size affected overall model performance for the Random Forest‐based SDM, DISTRIB, which was updated with recent forest inventories, climate, and soil data, and used a hybrid lattice derived from inventory densities. Modeled habitat suitability was compared between a uniform grid of 10 × 10 and a hybrid lattice of 10 × 10 and 20 × 20 km grids to assess potential improvements. The resulting DISTRIB‐II models for 125 eastern U.S. tree species provide information on individual habitat suitability that can be mapped and statistically analyzed to understand current and potential changes. Model performance metrics were comparable among the hybrid lattice and 10‐km grids; however, the hybrid lattice models generally had higher overall model reliability scores and were likely more representative of the inventory data. Our efforts to update DISTRIB models with current information aims to produce a more representative depiction of recent conditions by accounting for the spatial density of forest inventory data and using the latest climate data. Additionally, we developed an approach that leverages a hybrid lattice to maximize the spatial information within the models and recommend that similar modeling efforts be used to evaluate the spatial density of response and predictor data and derive a modeling grid that best represents the environment.

One possibility of modeling the delay is by introducing tropospheric models from external data sources. In this study, we present high-resolution models of tropospheric total refractivity and zenith total delay (ZTD) for the alpine area in Switzerland. The troposphere models are based on different combinations of data sources, including numerical weather prediction (NWP) model COSMO-1 with high spatial resolution of 1.1 km × 1.1 km, GNSS data from permanent geodetic stations and GPS L1-only data from low-cost permanent stations. The tropospheric parameters are interpolated to the arbitrary locations by the least-squares collocation method using the in-house developed software package COMEDIE (Collocation of Meteorological Data for Interpretation and Estimation of Tropospheric Pathdelays). The first goal of this study is to validate the obtained models with the reference radiosonde and GNSS data to show the improvement w.r.t. the previous studies that used lower resolution input data. In case of total refractivity, the profiles reconstructed from COSMO-1 model show the best agreement with the reference radiosonde measurements, with an average bias of 1.1 ppm (0.6% of the total refractivity value along a vertical profile) and standard deviation of 2.6 ppm (1.6%) averaged from the whole profile. The radiosondes are assimilated into COSMO-1 model; thus, a high correlation is expected, and this comparison is not independent. In case of ZTD, the GNSS-based model shows the highest agreement with the reference GNSS data, with an average bias of 0.2 mm (0.01%) and standard deviation of 4.3 mm (0.2%). For COSMO-based model, the agreement is also very high, especially compared to our previous studies with lower resolution NWPs. The average bias is equal to − 2.5 mm (0.1%) with standard deviation of 9.2 mm (0.5%). The second goal of this study is to test the feasibility of calculating high-resolution troposphere models over a limited area from coarser data sets. We calculate the ZTD models with spatial resolution of 20 m for a test area in Matter Valley. We include the information from the low-cost GPS stations (X-Sense), to also assess the performance and future usability of such stations. We validate the models based on three data sources w.r.t. the reference GNSS data. For the station located inside the area of the study, the models have an agreement of few mm with the reference data. For stations located further away from the study area, the agreement for X-Sense is smaller, but the standard deviations of residuals are still below 15 mm. We consider also another factor of evaluating the high-resolution models, i.e., spatial variability of the data. For designing a GNSS network, also for the tropospheric estimates, the height variability of the network may be as important as the horizontal distribution. The GNSS-based models are built from the coarsest network; thus, their variability is the lowest. The variability of X-Sense-based stations is the highest; thus, such data may be suitable for building troposphere models for very high-resolution applications.

The impact of relative and absolute GNSS positioning strategies on estimated coordinates and ZWD in the framework of meteorological applications / Alessandro Fermi in Applied geomatics, vol 11 n° 1 (March 2019)  

Public [article]  inApplied geomatics > vol 11 n° 1 (March 2019) . - pp 25 - 38 Titre : The impact of relative and absolute GNSS positioning strategies on estimated coordinates and ZWD in the framework of meteorological applications Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Alessandro Fermi, Auteur ; Eugenio Realini, Auteur ; Giovanna Venuti, Auteur Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : pp 25 - 38 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géodésie spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] coordonnées GNSS [Termes descripteurs IGN] données météorologiques [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement absolu [Termes descripteurs IGN] positionnement différentiel [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] retard troposphérique zénithal [Termes descripteurs IGN] teneur en vapeur d'eau Résumé : (Auteur) Since many years, the GNSS has been regarded by the meteorological community as one of the systems for atmospheric water vapour remote sensing. Time series of wet delays, estimated as by-products of accurate positioning, have been assimilated into numerical weather prediction models. However, a dedicated use the system for water vapour monitoring is still under investigation. Ad hoc dense networks have been designed and implemented to collect data at a high spatial resolution, baseline lengths lower than 10 km, with the aim of describing the high spatial and temporal variability of tropospheric water vapour. Within this framework, the paper reports a study on how the positioning strategy affects the estimated coordinates and tropospheric parameters. The study was conducted on the data collected by an experimental network of geodetic receivers, used as single or dual frequency ones. More specifically, investigations were made on the use of L1-only or iono-free combinations in differential positioning of receivers 100 to 10 km apart, finding that L1-only data provide more accurate results. Therefore, comparisons between local coordinates and ZWD obtained from relative and absolute positioning were performed to provide the statistics of the differences; the agreement between the results for short baselines is always better than 1 cm standard deviation. In order to assess the differences in the results that can be obtained from the two strategies when applied to the same observation set, a further comparison was carried out in terms of baseline components and ZWD increments. It results that, even for dense networks, the differential approach produces accurate results without losing information compared to the absolute one.
