Soot deposition also induces algal growth, which further decreases snow and ice albedo. In recent years, increasingly severe and widespread wildfire activity has occurred in western Canada in association with climate change. In the summers of 2017 and 2018, westerly winds transported smoke from extensive record-breaking wildfires in British Columbia eastward to the Canadian Rockies, where substantial amounts of soot were deposited on high mountain glaciers, snowfields, and icefields. Several studies have addressed the problem of soot deposition on snow and ice, but the spatiotemporal resolution applied has not been compatible with studying mountain icefields that are extensive but contain substantial internal variability and have dynamical albedos. This study evaluates spatial patterns in the albedo decrease and net shortwave radiation (K*) increase caused by soot from intense wildfires in Western Canada deposited on the Columbia Icefield (151 km2), Canadian Rockies, during 2017 and 2018. Twelve Sentinel-2 images were used to generate high spatial resolution albedo retrievals during four summers (2017 to 2020) using a MODIS bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model, which was employed to model the snow and ice reflectance anisotropy. Remote sensing estimates were evaluated using site-measured albedo on the icefield's Athabasca Glacier tongue, resulting in a R2, mean bias, and root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.68, 0.019, and 0.026, respectively. The biggest inter-annual spatially averaged soot-induced albedo declines were of 0.148 and 0.050 (2018 to 2020) for southeast-facing glaciers and the snow plateau, respectively. The highest inter-annual spatially-averaged soot-induced shortwave radiative forcing was 203 W/m2 for southeast-facing glaciers (2018 to 2020) and 106 W/m2 for the snow plateau (2017 to 2020). These findings indicate that snow albedo responded rapidly to and recovered rapidly from soot deposition. However, ice albedo remained low the year after fire, and this was likely related to a bio-albedo feedback involving microorganisms. Snow and ice K* were highest during low albedo years, especially for south-facing glaciers. These large-scale effects accelerated melt of the Columbia Icefield. The findings highlight the importance of using large-area high spatial resolution albedo estimates to analyze the effect of wildfire soot deposition on snow and ice albedo and K* on icefields, which is not possible using other approaches.

Mapping annual urban evolution process (2001–2018) at 250 m: A normalized multi-objective deep learning regression / Haoyu Wang in Remote sensing of environment, vol 278 (September 2022)

However, urbanization and its evolution process, i.e., conversions among diverse land covers, are hard to measure, as existing land cover maps usually have low temporal resolutions; conversely, long-term and temporally dense land cover maps, such as vegetation-impervious-soil decomposition maps base on MODIS, ignore the important land cover of cropland in urban evolution process (UEP). To resolve the issue, this study suggests a novel model named time-extended non-crop vegetation-impervious-cropland (Time V-I-C) to represent and quantify different stages of UEP; then, a normalized multi-objective T-ConvLSTM (NMT) method is proposed to unmix cropland, non-crop vegetation, and impervious based on the intra-annual remotely-sensed time series, and obtain their fractions in each pixel for generating UEP maps. Consequently, UEP maps from 2001 to 2018 are generated for two Chinese urban agglomerations, i.e., Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations. The mapping results have high accuracies with a small standard error of regression (SER) of 13.1%, small root mean square error (RMSE) of 12.6%, and small mean absolute error (MAE) of 8.4%, and the maps reveal the different UEP in the two urban agglomerations. Therefore, this study provides a new idea for expressing UEP and contributes to a wide range of urbanization studies and sustainable city development.

An investigation into heat storage by adopting local climate zones and nocturnal-diurnal urban heat island differences in the Tokyo Prefecture / Christopher O'Malley in Sustainable Cities and Society, vol 83 (August 2022)  

Public [article]  inSustainable Cities and Society > vol 83 (August 2022) . - n° 103959 Titre : An investigation into heat storage by adopting local climate zones and nocturnal-diurnal urban heat island differences in the Tokyo Prefecture Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Christopher O'Malley, Auteur ; Hideki Kikumoto, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 103959 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] cartographie thématique [Termes IGN] climat local [Termes IGN] distribution spatiale [Termes IGN] ilot thermique urbain [Termes IGN] image Landsat-8 [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] nuit [Termes IGN] pente [Termes IGN] stockage [Termes IGN] température au sol [Termes IGN] Tokyo (Japon) [Termes IGN] variation diurne Résumé : (auteur) This study aims to identify urban forms that are prone to heat storage in the Tokyo Prefecture in Japan. First, local climate zones (LCZ) were identified with 100 m pixel resolution using Landsat 8 data. LCZs include urban forms that are predominantly defined by building compactness and height. The spatial distribution of urban heat island intensity was obtained using LCZs and MODIS 100 m resolution land surface temperatures from 2013 to 2021. The difference between diurnal and nocturnal heat island intensity (∆UHI) was evaluated as an indicator of the relative heat storage effect between the LCZs. Lower ∆UHIs suggest increased relative heat-storage capacities. Seasonal average ∆UHIs for compact and super high-rise, high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise LCZs were 3.1 °C, 4.1 °C, 5.8 °C, and 8.3 °C, respectively. Additionally, ∆UHIs for open and super high-rise, high-rise, and mid-rise LCZs were 5.8 °C, 6.4 °C, and 7.8 °C, respectively. Slope data also validated the LCZ height. LCZ and slope analyzes found lower ∆UHI magnitudes in all LCZs with high-rise buildings. Also, compact LCZs had lower ∆UHI magnitudes than open LCZs at corresponding heights. Therefore, higher-rise and compact LCZs are suggested to have larger relative heat storage effects than lower-rise and open LCZs.

Heat wave-induced augmentation of surface urban heat islands strongly regulated by rural background / Shiqi Miao in Sustainable Cities and Society, vol 82 (July 2022)  

Public [article]  inSustainable Cities and Society > vol 82 (July 2022) . - n° 103874 Titre : Heat wave-induced augmentation of surface urban heat islands strongly regulated by rural background Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shiqi Miao, Auteur ; Wenfeng Zhan, Auteur ; Jiameng Lai, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 103874 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] Chine [Termes IGN] climat tropical [Termes IGN] couvert végétal [Termes IGN] densité de la végétation [Termes IGN] données environnementales [Termes IGN] forêt [Termes IGN] humidité de l'air [Termes IGN] ilot thermique urbain [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] nuit [Termes IGN] température au sol [Termes IGN] zone humide [Termes IGN] zone rurale Résumé : (auteur) The impact of heat waves (HWs) on surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) has been widely studied, but the spatial pattern of SUHI responsiveness to HWs across various climates remains unclear, and the influence of HW intensity on SUHI responsiveness has not been systematically quantified. Using MODIS land surface temperature data, here we investigated the responsiveness of SUHI to HWs (quantified as ∆I) as well as its variations with HW intensity in 354 cities in seven climate zones across China. We find that during HW periods, the SUHI and surface urban cool island are augmented in the humid and arid regions of China, respectively. The inter-city heterogeneity in rural vegetation coverage accounts for such a spatial pattern. In eastern China, the ∆I peaks in the north subtropical climate (0.72 ± 0.54 K for daytime and 0.29 ± 0.23 K for the nighttime) probably for its specific rural farming method. With the intensification of HWs, the augmentation effect can be further enhanced for the north subtropical, warm temperate, and arid temperate climates during the day and for almost all the climates at night. These findings can help advance the understanding of the responsiveness of SUHI to extreme climatic events.

Development of the GLASS 250-m leaf area index product (version 6) from MODIS data using the bidirectional LSTM deep learning model / Han Ma in Remote sensing of environment, vol 273 (May 2022)  

Public [article]  inRemote sensing of environment > vol 273 (May 2022) . - n° 112985 Titre : Development of the GLASS 250-m leaf area index product (version 6) from MODIS data using the bidirectional LSTM deep learning model Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Han Ma, Auteur ; Shunlin Liang, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : n° 112985 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Applications de télédétection [Termes IGN] apprentissage profond [Termes IGN] cohérence temporelle [Termes IGN] image Terra-MODIS [Termes IGN] Leaf Area Index [Termes IGN] réflectance de surface [Termes IGN] régression [Termes IGN] série temporelle [Termes IGN] surveillance de la végétation Résumé : (auteur) Leaf area index (LAI) is a terrestrial essential climate variable that is required in a variety of ecosystem and climate models. The Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) LAI product has been widely used, but its current version (V5) from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data has several limitations, such as frequent temporal fluctuation, large data gaps, high dependence on the quality of surface reflectance, and low computational efficiency. To address these issues, this paper presents a deep learning model to generate a new version of the LAI product (V6) at 250-m resolution from MODIS data from 2000 onward. Unlike most existing algorithms that estimate one LAI value at one time for each pixel, this model estimates LAI for 2 years simultaneously. Three widely used LAI products (MODIS C6, GLASS V5, and PROBA-V V1) are used to generate global representative time-series LAI training samples using K-means clustering analysis and least difference criteria. We explore four machine learning models, the general regression neural network (GRNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), and Bidirectional LSTM (Bi-LSTM), and identify Bi-LSTM as the best model for product generation. This new product is directly validated using 79 high-resolution LAI reference maps from three in situ observation networks. The results show that GLASS V6 LAI achieves higher accuracy, with a root mean square (RMSE) of 0.92 at 250 m and 0.86 at 500 m, while the RMSE is 0.98 for PROBA-V at 300 m, 1.08 for GLASS V5, and 0.95 for MODIS C6 both at 500 m. Spatial and temporal consistency analyses also demonstrate that the GLASS V6 LAI product is more spatiotemporally continuous and has higher quality in terms of presenting more realistic temporal LAI dynamics when the surface reflectance is absent for a long period owing to persistent cloud/aerosol contaminations. The results indicate that the new Bi-LSTM deep learning model runs significantly faster than the GLASS V5 algorithm, avoids the reconstruction of surface reflectance data, and is resistant to the noises (cloud and snow contamination) or missing values contained in surface reflectance than other methods, as the Bi-LSTM can effectively extract information across the entire time series of surface reflectance rather than a single time point. To our knowledge, this is the first global time-series LAI product at the 250-m spatial resolution that is freely available to the public (www.geodata.cn and www.glass.umd.edu).
