1. Microwave satellite data from AMSR-E and SMOS were analyzed over three forest sites with different climates to investigate seasonal trends in brightness temperature and microwave indexes. 2. The polarization index at X- and Ku-bands showed sensitivity to leaf biomass cycles while the frequency index between Ku- and Ka-bands responded to snow cover cycles. 3. SMOS emissivity normalized to surface temperature decreased clearly between days 80-120, associated with snow melt increasing soil moisture, though forests masked further soil moisture variation.

This document summarizes ground temperature analysis from sites located across different ecotypes (vegetation classes) in western Alaska. Key findings include:
- The absence of near-surface permafrost corresponds to ecotypes lacking a moss layer.
- Factors like thawing and freezing N-Factors help explain differences in permafrost temperatures between ecotypes. For example, one white spruce site receives less heat in summer but loses less heat in winter than another.
- A preliminary map was created predicting mean annual ground temperature ranges based on translating the ecotype classifications. This map could help understand how permafrost may change under climate change.
Mapping of Ice Storage Processes on the Moon with Time-dependent Diviner Data
1) The document analyzes 11 years of temperature data from the Diviner instrument on LRO to map ice storage processes on the Moon over time.
2) It finds that using the mean sublimation rate rather than the maximum rate to define cold traps results in a 24% larger total cold trap area, identifying more potential locations for stable ice.
3) It also maps the increased area of subsurface temperature stability with depth, and areas on the Moon where vapor pumping may transport water molecules to accumulate as buried ice.

1. The document analyzes changes in land surface albedo over the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau from 2000 to 2009 using satellite data on albedo, snow cover, and vegetation indices.
2. Results show albedo is strongly correlated with snow cover, with higher albedo corresponding to more frequent snow cover. Summer albedo is correlated with vegetation indices.
3. Interannual trends found albedo changes were driven by changes in snow cover and vegetation in different regions of the plateau, with snow cover dominating in some areas and vegetation in others.

Differential interferometry of ALOS PALSAR data was used to monitor thickness changes of the Kangwure Glacier in the Himalayas between January 21 and March 8, 2010. The method provided high-accuracy measurement of thickness changes over a wide area, avoiding costly and labor-intensive in situ measurements. Results showed thinning of the glacier that agreed with historical data, demonstrating the potential of this InSAR method for long-term glacier monitoring. However, more data is still needed to fully validate the approach.
Evapotranspiration estimation with remote sensing
This document provides an overview of estimating evapotranspiration (ET) using remote sensing. It discusses several methods and satellites used for deriving ET estimates remotely, including the Landsat, MODIS, Sentinel-2, and MSG programs. The MOD16 and LSA-SAF MSG algorithms for calculating ET from MODIS and MSG data respectively are described in detail. A case study is mentioned that compares ET estimates from the MOD16 and LSA-SAF MSG products.

A new study developed three algorithms to automatically determine the boundaries of scatter plots used in the triangle method for estimating evapotranspiration from satellite data. The algorithms were tested on data from northern China and showed improved consistency over manual boundary selection. Algorithm II performed best by separating scatter plots into upper and lower regions before boundary fitting. The new automatic method enables more objective and repeatable evapotranspiration estimates at regional scales from remote sensing data.

This document summarizes a study that used the METRIC (Mapping Evapotranspiration at high Resolution with Internalized Calibration) model to estimate evapotranspiration (ETa) rates from fields with cover crops and fields without cover crops in northeastern South Dakota. The study utilized remote sensing imagery from 9 dates between May and October, including 5 dates during the cover crop season. METRIC estimates of ETa were compared to ETa estimates from a Bowen-Ratio Energy Balance System (BREBS) and were found to successfully differentiate between fields with and without cover crops, with the METRIC estimates being within 7% of the BREBS estimates for the cover crop season.

The document analyzes changes in water level and soil moisture in the Aral Sea between 2000 and 2017 using satellite imagery. The researchers obtained Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 data from 2000 and 2017. They performed pre-processing steps to transform the raw data to reflectance. Next, they classified the images using supervised classification to identify seven land cover classes. Their analysis found decreases in water, shallow water, and dark bareland, and increases in salt, bareland, vegetation/wetland, and light bareland between 2000 and 2017. This indicates the Soviet decision to divert rivers for cotton farming degraded the Aral Sea over time.

This document discusses albedo, which is a measure of how much solar radiation is reflected by a surface. It begins by defining albedo and noting how it varies with factors like sun angle and snow grain size. It explains that small changes in albedo can have large impacts on the climate system by altering how much solar energy is absorbed. The document then discusses methods for measuring and modeling albedo remotely using imaging spectrometers and how light-absorbing impurities affect snow albedo.

The document discusses the role of the Amazon forest and climate change. It provides statistics on water flows in the Amazon, including precipitation in the basin, evapotranspiration, water transported by winds to other regions, and the average flow of the Amazon River. It also notes that deforestation and climate change, such as more frequent droughts, threaten the Amazon and could feed into a cycle of forest dieback.
Extreme Precipitation in Greece
1) The document examines the main synoptic conditions associated with extreme precipitation amounts in Greece using statistical analysis of daily precipitation data from 3 stations and atmospheric data from 273 grid points over Europe.
2) 369 extreme precipitation cases from 1970-2002 were identified, some common to multiple stations. Factor analysis was used to reduce the atmospheric data dimensions, revealing 7 factors explaining 85% of variance.
3) Cluster analysis grouped the cases into 9 clusters corresponding to distinct atmospheric circulation patterns favoring extreme precipitation. Mean patterns for each cluster show differences in the position and intensity of surface and upper air synoptic systems.

1) The 2018 European drought caused significant reductions in photosynthesis (GPP) at most forest flux tower sites, primarily through non-stomatal limitations rather than stomatal limitations.
2) Analysis showed a reduction in the maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax, a measure of biochemical capacity) when relative extractable water (REW) dropped below 0.4, indicating decreased photosynthetic activity due to drought effects on biochemical processes rather than on stomatal conductance.
3) The degree of limitation (DoL) analysis demonstrated that non-stomatal mechanisms, likely including decreased mesophyll conductance and biochemical effects, were the dominant short-term reason for reduced GPP during the 2018Kvt mapping of_icing
The document describes an icing map of Sweden created using a mesoscale weather model. The map shows the average number of icing hours per year from 2000-2011 at a resolution of 50m x 50m grid cells. The map is available online and can help with siting new wind farms by analyzing potential icing conditions and estimated production losses at different locations. It also categorizes areas into 5 icing classes defined by the IEA to aid in site classification for wind energy projects.

The document discusses sensitivity studies conducted for the CoReH2O mission to analyze how snowpack parameters like grain size, layering, and melting state affect X-band and Ku-band radar backscatter. It summarizes modeling and experimental results showing grain size has a critical effect on backscatter and SWE retrieval, while density has little effect. Layering within the snowpack, including refrozen layers, can impact the relationship between backscatter and SWE.

2) Horizontal to vertical spectral ratio measurements at the stations showed high frequency peaks that varied seasonally, related to changes in the thickness of thawed ground.
3) Estimates of thawed layer thickness based on quarter-wavelength approximation matched ground truth measurements, demonstrating the utility of this technique with HVSR peaks.
IGARSS__RTC.pptx
This document discusses using radiometric terrain correction (RTC) to improve polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) land cover classification in boreal environments like interior Alaska. It introduces a study using ALOS PALSAR data and describes challenges with topography. RTC normalizes backscatter values using a terrain model to account for local terrain effects. The document demonstrates applying RTC to PALSAR coherency matrices and parameters, and integrating it with PolSARpro and MapReady tools for classification. Results show RTC improves classification accuracy, particularly for deciduous forests, by reducing radiometric variability from topography. However, RTC does not address differences in scattering mechanisms' sensitivity to incidence angle.

The document summarizes a study that measured the geometric albedo of the exoplanet HD 189733b across visible wavelengths using Hubble Space Telescope observations. It found an albedo of 0.40 ± 0.12 at 290-450 nm that decreased to below 0.12 at 450-570 nm, suggesting optically thick clouds reflecting light at shorter wavelengths and sodium absorption suppressing reflection beyond 450 nm. This wavelength-dependent albedo implies HD 189733b would appear deep blue in color at visible wavelengths.

The document summarizes an experiment called Domex-2 that was conducted at Dome C, Antarctica between 2008-2010 to measure microwave emission from the East Antarctic plateau using ground-based and satellite instruments. Measurements from the Domex-2 radiometers showed high temporal stability of brightness temperatures at vertical polarization but more fluctuation at horizontal polarization as expected. Angular trends from Domex-2 matched well with data from the SMOS satellite. An electromagnetic model was developed and validated against the satellite and ground measurements, demonstrating the mechanisms controlling microwave emission from the ice sheet.
AGUposter2014floesizedist
This project aims to develop a sea ice modeling system that can accurately predict sea ice conditions in the marginal ice zones of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The researchers analyzed 123 MODIS images from 2014 to study the floe size distribution, which will be used to parameterize and validate the model. Preliminary results show the floe size distribution can be described by a power law, and the exponent varies seasonally from less negative in winter to more negative in summer, indicating more large floes in winter and small floes breaking up in spring and melting in summer. Comparing MODIS and SAR images also yielded consistent floe size distributions over different scales.
Effects of Deforestation
This document summarizes a study analyzing local climate change in Rio Branco, Brazil due to deforestation. The researchers used Landsat thermal band data and a land cover classification map to model temperature anomalies as distance from forest increases. They found some relationship between distance and temperature anomalies, but the direction and amount were not uniform, warranting further inquiry. The study aimed to test whether deforested areas have higher temperatures than forested areas when correcting for elevation differences.
Poster - Simultations of Graphene Growth
This document summarizes simulations of graphene growth on a copper substrate. Monte Carlo simulations were performed on a honeycomb lattice with various levels of static and dynamic substrate disorder. For static disorder, carbon atoms reside on favorable substrate sites, reducing mobility and resulting in smaller islands. For dynamic disorder, the changing substrate allows islands to move and reform, enhancing island size at optimal temperatures. The substrate itself shows no ordering without carbon islands at high dynamic disorder temperatures.

This study presents a comprehensive digital mosaic of ice motion across Antarctica assembled from satellite radar data. The data reveal widespread, patterned, enhanced flow of tributary glaciers reaching hundreds to thousands of kilometers inland over the entire continent. This emphasizes the importance of basal-slip dominated tributary flow over deformation-dominated ice sheet flow, redefining our understanding of ice sheet dynamics. The extensive network of fast-flowing tributaries challenges prior views of ice sheet flow and implies a tighter connection between coastal and interior ice flow than previously thought.

This document summarizes research determining densities in diffuse molecular clouds using CO absorption spectroscopy. Spectroscopic observations along 17 sight lines detected CO absorption features, which were analyzed to determine relative populations between CO rotational energy levels. This provided excitation temperatures (Tex) that were used to estimate densities of hydrogen molecules (n(H2)) in each region, finding values from 102 to 104 cm-3. Higher Tex values and densities were found for sight lines with larger total CO column densities (N(CO)). Future work will use radiative transfer modeling to simultaneously infer kinetic temperatures and n(H2) without assumptions about temperature or Tex.
POLARIMETRIC IMPLICATIONS OF INCIDENCE ANGLE VARIABILITY FOR UAVSAR
This document discusses how the incidence angle of radar data from NASA's UAVSAR instrument, which can vary significantly, may impact polarimetric classifications. It presents a statistical analysis of scattering mechanisms for different land cover classes in Yellowstone National Park as the incidence angle changes. The analysis finds that the dominant scattering mechanism, such as surface, double bounce, or volume scattering, varies strongly with incidence angle for all classes. Surface scattering generally decreases with higher incidence angles, while double bounce and volume scattering increases. This effect is most pronounced over smooth surfaces like barren ground and emergent wetlands. The variability in incidence angle from airborne platforms like UAVSAR could therefore pose challenges for polarimetric classification and radiometric terrain

GMES SPACE COMPONENT:PROGRAMMATIC STATUS
The document summarizes the status of the GMES Space Component program. It describes the Sentinel satellite missions for monitoring land, ocean, atmosphere and emergency situations. The Sentinels will provide long-term data continuity as well as improved coverage compared to existing missions. Sentinel data will be freely and openly available to both operational users and the science community. The program is on track, with the first Sentinel launches beginning in 2013.
SEGMENTATION OF POLARIMETRIC SAR DATA WITH A MULTI-TEXTURE PRODUCT MODEL
1) The document describes a segmentation algorithm for polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data that can model both scalar-texture and multi-texture scattering.
2) The algorithm uses log-cumulants and hypothesis testing to determine whether a scalar-texture or dual-texture model best fits the data within each segment.
3) The algorithm is tested on simulated multi-texture PolSAR data and is shown to accurately segment the classes and estimate their texture parameters. However, when applied to real data sets, the algorithm only finds the simpler scalar-texture case.
THE SENTINEL-1 MISSION AND ITS APPLICATION CAPABILITIES
The Sentinel-1 mission is part of the GMES program and consists of two satellites to provide C-band SAR data for emergency response, marine and land monitoring, and other applications. The satellites operate in a near-polar orbit with a 12 day repeat cycle. The main acquisition mode is an interferometric wide swath mode with 5m range and 20m azimuth resolution over a 250km swath. Sentinel-1 will support operational services and create a long-term SAR data archive.

Hydrological responses to forest cover change in mountains under projected cl...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— This study quantified the hydrological responses to the forest cover change in the upper part of Sola River basin, Forest Creek catchment, southern Poland, under projected climatic conditions. The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) will be applied to investigate the response of the hydrology regime to deforestation and reforestation processes. Under two emission scenarios (A1B and B1, IPCC) of the general circulation model GISS_E (NASA Goddard Institute) were employed to generate future possible climatic conditions. The detailed research was performed on a Forest Creek catchment during the 2002-2012.A key point is to assess both the rate of change in hydrological conditions after the collapse of the spruce stands and the time necessary to stabilize the water management after the afforestation. The results of elaborations show that deforestation process reduces the retention by 40% (10 years), in the same time water drainage from the catchment shortened by 47%.Variability in Silver Fir Growth in the Tuscan Apennine Alps in the 20th Century
This document summarizes research investigating variability in silver fir tree growth in Tuscan Apennine Alps, Italy during the 20th century. The study analyzed tree ring chronologies from silver fir stands located at four sites spanning an elevation gradient. Results showed similarity between residual tree ring series varied highly and irregularly among sites and between upper and lower elevation stands within sites over the 20th century. Unexpected growth patterns occurred in silver fir in late 20th century. Similarity between residual tree ring series tended to decrease with increasing distance between sites. The results suggest continued monitoring is needed given potential impacts of climate change on silver fir populations in southern Europe.

This document summarizes a study that investigated land cover changes around Lake Bosomtwe in Ghana between 2008 and 2013 using Landsat satellite imagery. The study identified three land cover classes - water, vegetated areas, and non-vegetated areas. Image classification revealed a decrease in vegetation cover of 4.65 km2 and an increase in non-vegetated areas over the study period. Specifically, vegetation cover decreased from 143 km2 in 2008 to 138.34 km2 in 2013, while non-vegetated areas increased from 34.99 km2 to 39.34 km2. The research recommends intensifying reforestation efforts around the lake to help mitigate further loss of vegetation cover.

The document summarizes research along two Arctic transects spanning different regions and time periods. Field studies were conducted along the North American Arctic Transect from 2002-2006 and the Eurasian Arctic Transect from 2007-2010. Vegetation, soils, and climate data were collected at sites representing different Arctic bioclimate subzones. Satellite data was also analyzed to detect long-term vegetation trends. While plant communities differed between regions due to environmental factors, the transects provided a synoptic view of Arctic vegetation across the climate gradient that enhanced understanding of relationships between vegetation and changing Arctic conditions.

The 2010 drought in the Amazon was more severe than the 2005 drought, based on record low river levels. Satellite data showed widespread and persistent declines in vegetation greenness over a much larger area in 2010 compared to 2005. The declines in 2010 affected 51% of drought-stricken forests and persisted after rainfall returned to normal, unlike in 2005. The loss of photosynthetic capacity due to the 2010 drought may have significantly impacted the global carbon cycle.
Larsen ice shelf has progressively thinned
The document discusses satellite radar altimeter measurements of elevation changes in the Larsen Ice Shelf between 1992 and 2001. It finds that the ice shelf lowered by up to 0.27 meters per year on average. This thinning is explained by increased summer meltwater and loss of basal ice through melting. Enhanced ocean-driven melting may provide a link between regional climate warming and the successive breakup of sections of the Larsen Ice Shelf. Testing rules out other potential causes of thinning like changes in sea level, ocean density, or surface accumulation. The long-term thinning observed suggests meltwater production alone does not account for the lowering, indicating additional thinning mechanisms are also involved.

The document analyzes changes in thermokarst lake dynamics in two study areas in Siberia using satellite imagery from 1986, 1998, and 2010. In the continuous permafrost region, lake area consistently increased as small lakes combined, while the discontinuous permafrost region first saw lake area decrease then increase as some lakes drained and others expanded. Climate trends like increasing temperatures, rather than atypical weather, appeared to influence these lake changes by degrading permafrost.

1. TerraSAR-X data from 2008-2010 were used to map salt marshes in Ganghwa-do, Korea and differentiate the main halophyte species.
2. Optimum data acquisition was determined to be on-season ebb tides to distinguish annual and perennial species based on their radar backscattering characteristics.
3. A salt marsh map was generated with 66.5% total accuracy differentiating tidal flats, runnels, water, Suaeda japonica, and Phragmites australis based on decision rules from TerraSAR-X backscattering properties.
CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT ASSESSMENT ON MELTING GLACIERS USING RS & GIS
Remote sensing and GIS techniques are effective methods for mapping and monitoring glaciers and the impacts of climate change. Two case studies are summarized in the document. The first case study monitors the Gangotri glacier in India using satellite imagery and finds a 6% reduction in glacier area between 1962 and 2006. The second case study analyzes satellite images of Mount Suphan glacier in Turkey and determines that the glacier area decreased from 1.2 km2 to 0.33 km2 between 1977 and 2000, with climatic factors like increasing minimum temperatures contributing to the recession.
The Annual Behavior of Backscattering And Coherence of PALSAR Data.ppt
The document analyzes the annual behavior of backscattering and coherence using PALSAR data from 2007-2008 over a study site. It finds:
1) Backscattering was stable in summer but decreased in autumn and winter due to leaf falling and snow, and increased in spring due to thawing and vegetation sprouting.
2) Coherence was best for summer interferometric pairs and worst for winter pairs, which were hindered by snow and freezing.
3) Differences between SRTM and PALSAR DEM heights correlated with forest coverage, indicating potential for biomass mapping.
StreamFlow Variability of 21 Watersheds, Oregon
This study analyzed the relationship between streamflow runoff and physical attributes in 21 Oregon watersheds. Monthly streamflow data from 1958-2008 was collected and watershed characteristics like elevation, slope, aspect and land cover were determined. A multiple regression model found land cover, elevation and aspect significantly correlated with winter streamflow, but not summer flow. This suggests precipitation is important and the model needs additional variables like soil and snowpack to better predict streamflow runoff.

EO-1/Hyperion has been collecting hyperspectral imagery for over 12 years, acquiring over 65,000 scenes. Researchers have been using these data to develop and validate algorithms for estimating vegetation properties like fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR) and photochemical reflectance index (PRI). Comparisons of Hyperion data to field measurements at flux tower sites show these algorithms can accurately track vegetation changes over time and relate spectral properties to productivity metrics like light use efficiency and gross ecosystem productivity. This work is helping prototype data products for the upcoming HyspIRI mission.

The document summarizes research using SBAS-DInSAR (Small BAseline Subset differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar) techniques to analyze ground deformation at Mt. Etna volcano in Italy over the last 18 years using ERS and ENVISAT satellite data. The analysis revealed three main deformation processes: inflation of the volcanic edifice, subsidence of sectors on the eastern flank due to gravitational spreading, and deflation-inflation cycles associated with eruptive and post-eruptive activity. More recent analysis using higher resolution COSMO-SkyMed data from 2009-2010 detected deformation related to faults and a 2010 earthquake more precisely than lower resolution ENVISAT data.

This study analyzed crustal deformation in the seismically active Patras Gulf region of Greece using GPS data. The GPS network was established in 1994 and expanded through additional campaigns in 1996, 2006, and 2011. The data show the Patras Gulf is opening up at a rate of 8-13 mm/yr with uplift of 5 mm/yr in the south. A continuous GPS station revealed southeast horizontal motion of 17.4 mm/yr and a clear signal from the 2008 Mw 6.4 Andravida earthquake. The results indicate increasing extension across the gulf and smaller extension near the Rio-Antirrio bridge area.
Rocca.ppt
The document discusses advances in SAR interferometry over the past 20 years for measuring millimeter-scale land motion. Key points include:
1) Revisit times have decreased from 35 days with ERS-1 to 12 days with Sentinel-1 constellations, improving ground motion recovery.
2) Persistent scatterer interferometry techniques like SqueeSAR can now measure motions to the millimeter by using all available interferograms.
3) Atmospheric phase screens still limit accuracy but can be estimated and removed using numerical weather models, GPS, and other independent datasets.
4) Future opportunities include using wide Doppler bandwidths from satellites to achieve high-resolution azimuth measurements of ground motion.
Lagios_et_al_IGARSS_2011.ppt
This document summarizes a study of ground deformation on Cephalonia Island in western Greece using GPS and satellite interferometry data. The study analyzed data from 24 GPS benchmarks installed on the island from 2001-2010, as well as radar images from 1992-2000 and 2003-2008. The results show velocity fields and acceleration patterns, with some areas experiencing subsidence of up to 12 mm/yr. Time series analysis identified critically deforming areas that correlate with observed seismic energy release. Estimates of critical time based on accelerating strain and seismicity patterns suggest increased risk of future seismic events in these areas.

This document describes a concept for detecting water bodies from TanDEM-X radar data. The goal is to produce a global water indication mask to help process the TanDEM-X digital elevation model. The method uses amplitude and coherence images with filtering and thresholding to identify water pixels while excluding other areas like desert or steep terrain. An evaluation on a test site of the River Elbe showed the method could correctly identify over 80% of water bodies larger than 1 hectare when combining amplitude and coherence data. Future work will assess the method in different climate zones and produce a mosaicked global water mask product to help further process the TanDEM-X DEM.
