▼ Hyperspectral instruments expand the spectral dimension of remote sensing measurements by collecting data in hundreds of contiguous wavelength channels. Spectrally resolved measurements can be used to derive science products for a diverse range of fields such as
atmospheric science, geology, oceanography, ecology, climate monitoring, and agricultural science, to name a few. The spectral information collected by hyperspectral instruments enables more accurate retrievals of physical properties and detection of temporal changes. These advantages have led to an increasing number of active and planned hyperspectral instruments. This thesis describes methods for attributing hyperspectral radiation observations to physical sources. We developed, validated and characterized improvements to a hyperspectral instrument, the Solar Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SSIM), built at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Laboratory for
Atmospheric and Space Physics. Contributions include the characterization of the optics’ angular response, testing of an optics stabilizing platform and the development and testing of a spectrometer thermal control system. This instrument was then deployed on an aircraft for a field study with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). SSIM measurements of upwelling and downwelling irradiance were used in conjunction with NEON’s Imaging Spectrometer to enable
atmospheric correction of imagery collected below cloud layers. We developed a numerical spectral unmixing algorithm, Informed Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (INMF), to separate contributions to hyperspectral imagery from distinct physical sources such as surface reflectance,
atmospheric absorption, molecular scattering, and aerosol scattering. INMF was tailored for hyperspectral applications by introducing algorithmic constraints based on the physics of radiative transfer. INMF was tested using imagery collected by the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean (HICO). To validate the method INMF results were compared to model-based
atmospheric correction results. We demonstrate possible applications of INMF by presenting the retrieval of two physical properties, aerosol attributed radiance and seafloor depth. The retrievals were evaluated by comparing INMF output to independent retrievals of aerosol properties from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and in-situ seafloor depth measurements from the U.S. Coastal Relief Model. In these comparisons INMF shows promise for retrieving both physical properties, and may be improved with physics-based constraints on the seafloor and aerosol source spectra.

▼ Statistical estimation problems of
atmospheric correction techniques
for thermal infrared imagery have been studied. A revised multiple-view-
angle
atmospheric correction technique has been developed and
tested using the LOWTRAN radiative transfer model as truth. Its
average absolute temperature prediction accuracy for an independent
data set is 0.8 K for long-wave infrared imagery and 1.0 K for mid -wave
infrared imagery, when error-free data are assumed. The benefit of
robust, resistant regression estimators was studied using Monte Carlo
simulations having real -world measurement errors and data outliers.
An error propagation analysis showed that 1.0-3.3 K of rms error is
likely given reasonable data set sizes and robust estimators.

▼ This thesis addresses the application of atmospheric correction algorithms in the satellite remote sensing of reservoirs. The major aims of the project were, first to identify the problem of atmospheric effects on satellite images, second to review the available atmospheric correction methods, third to apply the image-based techniques and methods based on atmospheric modelling to time-series Landsat-5 TM images of large reservoirs in the Lower Thames Valley and, fourth, to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods in this application. The wide range of digital numbers observed in a time series of masked images of eutrophic reservoirs in the Lower Thames Valley demonstrated The important time-dependent contribution of atmospheric effects. Uncorrected at-satellite reflectance values for the waters in these reservoirs were found to be dominated by atmospheric effects, which accounted for between 63 % to 100 % of the at-satellite reflectance in the visible and near infrared bands. This confirms the importance of removing atmospheric effects from dark targets before attempting to correlate physical data with satellite measurements. Evaluation of the atmospheric correction techniques was achieved by comparing the atmospheric corrected reservoir reflectance data with the spectro-radiometric measurements acquired in-situ using a GER1500 field spectro-radiometer and with other reflectance values found in the literature. It was found that the darkest pixel method was the most suitable technique in the Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) bands 1, 2 and 3 for removing atmospheric effects from satellite images which include reseryoirs. The darkest pixel (DP) method is a fully image-based technique, and is simpler in adaptation and easier computationally than other more sophisticated atmospheric correction algorithms. Using data collected on the Lower Thames reservoirs, it has been shown that accounting for atmospheric effects in Landsat TM images enables the development of water quality predictive equations. The atmospherically corrected (using DP) satellite reflectance values were found to improve significantly the correlations with chlorophyll-a (chl-a) and particulate organic carbon (POC). The best correlations for predicting chl-a and POC were found in the TM 1 and TM 2 bands respectively. Concerning the use of eutrophic reservoirs as pseudo-invariant targets, it was found that (a) the low spectral reflectance values, (b) the negligible spatial variability within reservoirs, (c) their generally large size and distinctive shape and (d) their high turbidity make them suitable dark pseudo-invariant targets. Values of ground reflectance for eutrophic reservoirs are provided for the user to evaluate atmospheric effects in other studies. A new atmospheric correction method has been developed based on the use of a very bright object (concrete airport aprons) and a very dark target (eutrophic water storage reservoir). The new method has been applied to images of the Lower Thames Valley and sites in Greece and Cyprus. Two novel methods…

▼ The lack of monitoring of non-perennial rivers is a major problem for water resources
management, despite their significance in satisfying agricultural, economic and recreational
needs. Pools in non-perennial rivers are not monitored, due to their remoteness. Remote
sensing offers a promising alternative for the monitoring of changes in water storage in these
pools.
This study aims to assess the extent to which remotely-sensed datasets can be used to monitor
the spatio-temporal changes of water storage of pools along non-perennial rivers in the
Western Cape. The objectives of this study are: (1) to determine a suitable image preprocessing
and classification technique for detecting and monitoring surface water along nonperennial
rivers, and (2) to describe the spatial and temporal changes of water availability of
pools along non-perennial rivers, using remotely sensed datasets.
The Normalised Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified NDWI (MNDWI), Normalised
Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Automated Water Extraction Index for shadowed
(AWEIsh) and non-shadowed regions (AWEInsh) and the Multi-Band Water Index (MBWI)
classification techniques were investigated in this study, using the Sentinel-2 and Landsat 8
datasets. In-situ measurements were used to validate the satellite-derived datasets, while the
use of high resolution aerial photography and Digital-Globe WorldView imagery were
further compared to the results. The results suggested that the NDWI is the most suitable
classification technique for identifying water in pools along non-perennial rivers throughout
the Western Cape. The NDWI applied to the Sentinel-2 Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA)
reflectance dataset had the highest overall accuracy of 85%, when compared to the Sentinel-2
Dark Object Subtraction 1 (DOS1)
atmospheric correction, Sentinel-2 Sen2Cor
atmospheric
correction, Landsat 8 TOA reflectance and Landsat 8 DOS1
atmospheric correction datasets.
The incorporation of
atmospheric correction was shown to eliminate surface water pixels in
many of the smaller pools.

▼ This masters thesis is a part of the nordic collaboration project NorSEN, whose goal is to improve the environmental surveillance in the regions north of the Arctic circle. This implies the build-up of a data-acquisition network that can be used for tracing environmental changes over the years. The data from these sites can also be used as a reference for satellite image validation and to improve the atmospheric correction procedures of satellite imagery. Atmospheric correction is the process where an image taken at satellite level is recreated as it would have looked like on the ground. The signal is distorted along its way through the atmosphere by the means of absorption and scattering. Swedens contribution to this project is a raft with on board spectrometers placed on the lake Torneträsk near Abisko in the summer of 2005. The lake is surrounded by mountains which are often covered with clouds that changes the light conditions. This poses a problem for the atmospheric correction since these types of situations are more difficult to model. The lake is also often exposed to rough weather with strong winds, leading to high waves. When this occurs, it is much harder to calculate the reflectance from the data. Severe rainfalls can also lead to sediments in the lake which changes the lakes reflectance. One part of the project is therefore to evaluate if Torneträsk is a good reference surface. This part will however not be covered by the report. The masters thesis has been devoted to the evaluation and changing of the satellite signal simulation program 6S, which is also able to apply atmospheric correction to known satellite signals. Pictures from the instrument MERIS on board ESAs Earth observation satellite ENVISAT has been available within the project. Some assumptions in 6S that has proved to be a problem is that of horizontal homogeneity and the plane-parallel assumption. Since the clouds and mountains need to be modeled, an inhomogeneous model must be implemented. This can be done by introducing a horizontal x-scale which adds a parameter to all the equations governing the radiative transfer in the atmosphere. Since the x-scale cant go on forever, there must however be a combination of the homogeneous and the inhomogeneous model where the homogeneous assumption is used at the boundary layer of the inhomogeneous model. Tests have been made with a horizontal scale of 300 kilometers. The grid has to be about this wide since the atmosphere is modeled with an altitude of 150 kilometers and it is desired that as many beams as possible, they are traveling with different inclinations, reaches the top of the atmosphere. This however slows down the program significantly. The computation is therefore made with less accuracy the further you get from the lake, while an area of 10 kilometers where the raft is situated is modeled with high accuracy. Up to date it is hard to draw any substantial conclusions about whether the changes made to…

▼ Tropospheric delays are considered to be one of the main performance limitations for Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar technology when applied to ground deformation monitoring. In this study, we evaluate the performance of ERA-Interim global
atmospheric reanalysis on estimating the tropospheric delay on Sentinel-1 InSAR observations. The results are validated by four D-InSAR interferograms with small temporal/perpendicular baselines computed from Sentinel-1 observations. Based on the study, we concluded that the ERA-Interim global
atmospheric reanalysis has relatively better performance in the regions with significant topography and stable
atmospheric conditions.

▼ In the coming decade, a new generation of extremely large-scale ground-based astronomical telescopes will see first light. It is well known that increasing the size of the telescope aperture is only beneficial if the adaptive optics (AO) system, which compensates for turbulence-induced wavefront aberrations, scales accordingly. For the extreme-AO (XAO) system of the future European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), in the order of 10
4–10
5 unknown phase points have to be estimated at kHz range frequencies to update the actuator commands of the corrective device, consisting of a deformablemirror (DM). The work on fast algorithms for wavefront reconstruction (WFR) for real-time application has therefore been extensive. Conventional WFR algorithms estimate the unknown wavefront from wavefront sensor (WFS) measurements. They are generally based on a linear relationship between the unknown wavefront and the sensor read out, and assume one of the two following principles. Zonal methods represent the wavefront as discrete phase points in terms of which the sensor model is formulated, leading to a per se local phase-measurement relationship. The second group of modal methods expands the wavefront with a set of globally defined polynomials which results in a sensormodel that acts on the entire sensor domain.

▼ La télédétection spatiale de la couleur de l’océan implique l’élimination de la contribution atmosphérique, appelée correction atmosphérique (CA). Au-dessus des eaux claires, cette dernière se base sur l’hypothèse que l’eau est totalement absorbante dans le Proche Infra-Rouge (PIR) pour estimer la réflectance atmosphérique et déterminer la réflectance marine. À l’opposé, au-dessus des eaux côtières turbides, la contribution du signal marin n’est pas négligeable dans le PIR. De ce fait, différentes méthodes alternatives ont été proposées. La thèse se consacre à l’évaluation des algorithmes de CA proposés et leur amélioration pour le capteur Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) au-dessus des eaux côtières en exploitant sa synergie avec le capteur Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). Dans ce but, des mesures radiométriques in-situ ont été acquises dans deux zones côtières françaises contrastées : Manche orientale et Guyane Française, avec le spectro-radiomètre ASD, suivant un nouveau protocole d’acquisition et de post-traitement. Le post-traitement s’est basé sur le coefficient de variabilité et la différence relative de la médiane dans le contrôle de qualité, en plus du score d’assurance de qualité (QAS). Suivant l’analyse statistique basée en partie sur l’angle spectral moyenné (SAM), l’inter-comparaison radiométrique de l’ASD avec les autres radiomètres (TriOS-above et Radeau), a révélé la cohérence des mesures ASD. L’utilisation de ces dernières a permis l’inter-comparaison de la performance de cinq algorithmes de CA, où l’algorithme Polymer est le plus performant d’après un système à points avec une seule métrique. Cependant aucun algorithme a atteint le maximum de points soulignant la grande marge de progression à accomplir, surtout en eau côtière. Dans cette optique, trois relations spectrales de la réflectance des aérosols ont été testées sur une base de données simulées suivant la synergie OLCI/SLSTR. Une autre relation, Full Spectrum AC (FSAC) a été développée initialement en combinant deux relations existantes, après l’élimination de l’hypothèse du pixel noir dans l’ultra-violet (UV) et l’intégration d’un schéma itératif. L’inter-comparaison des relations révèle la cohérence de FSAC qui est légèrement moins performante qu’une relation publiée. L’application de FSAC sur des images OLCI/SLSTR ouvrirait des perspectives dans l’amélioration de la CA au-dessus des eaux côtières.
The ocean color remote sensing involves the removal of the atmospheric contribution, the so-called atmospheric correction (AC). Over clear waters, the latter is based on the hypothesis that the sea water is totally absorbent in the Near Infra-Red (NIR), to estimate the atmospheric reflectance and to determine the water reflectance. By contrast, over coastal turbid waters, the marine signal is not negligible in the NIR. Accordingly, different alternative methods were proposed. The thesis is committed to evaluate the proposed AC algorithms and their improvement for the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) sensor over…

▼ Les particules en suspension dans l'eau de mer incluent les sédiments, le phytoplancton, le zooplancton, les bactéries, les virus et des détritus. Ces particules sont communément appelés matière en suspension (MES). Dans les eaux côtières, la MES peut parcourir de longues distances et être transportée verticalement à travers la colonne d'eau sous l'effet des vents et des marées favorisant les processus d'advection et de resuspension. Ceci implique une large variabilité spatio-temporelle de MES et quasiment impossible à reconstituer à travers les mesures traditionnelles des concentrations de MES [MES], par filtration de l'eau de mer à bord de bateaux. La [MES] peut être obtenue à partir de capteurs optiques enregistrant la diffusion et déployés soit de manière in-situ, soit à partir d'un satellite dans l'espace. Depuis la fin des années 70, par exemple, les satellites "couleur de l'eau" permettent d'établir des cartes de [MES] globales. La fréquence d'une image par jour pour la mer di Nord de ces capteurs polaires représente un obstacle non négligeable pour l'étude de variabilité de la [MES] dans les eaux côtières où la marée et les vents engendrent des variations rapides au cours de la journée. Cette limitation est d'autant plus importante pour les régions avec une couverture nuageuse fréquente. Les méthodes in-situ à partir d'un navire autonome ou d'une plateforme amarrée permettent d'enregistrer des données en continu mais leur couverture spatiale reste néanmoins limitée. Ce travail a pour objectif de mettre en avant les techniques de mesures in-situ et satellite de la [MES] en se concentrant principalement sur deux points. Premièrement, d'acquérir une meilleure connaissance de la variabilité de la relation entre la [MES] et la lumière diffuse, et deuxièmement, d'établir des cartes de [MES] dans la mer du Nord avec le capteur géostationnaire météorologique Européen (SEVIRI) qui donne des images chaque 15 minutes.La variabilité de la relation entre la [MES] et la lumière diffuse est étudiée à l'aide d'une banque de données in-situ. Nous démontrons que la [MES] est le mieux estimée à partir des mesures dans l'intervalle rouge du spectre de lumière rétro-diffuse. Par ailleurs, la relation entre la [MES] et la rétrodiffusion est gouvernée par la composition organique/inorganique des particules, ce qui représente des possibilités d'amélioration pour les algorithmes d'estimation de [MES] à partir de la couleur de l'eau. Nous démontrons aussi qu'avec SEVIRI il est possible d'estimer la [MES], la turbidité et le coefficient d'atténuation, deux variables étroitement liées à la [MES], avec généralement une bonne précision. Bien qu'il y ait d'importantes incertitudes dans les eaux claires, cette réussite est remarquable pour un capteur météorologique initialement conçu pour le suivi des nuages et des masses glaciaires, cibles beaucoup plus brillantes que la mer! Ce travail démontre pour la première fois que la variabilité de la [MES] à l'échelle temporelle des marées dans les eaux côtières au sud de la mer du Nord peut être…

▼ A conversão de números digitais (NDs) de imagens orbitais em quantidades físicas relacionadas à superfície terrestre é dependente de fiel caracterização atmosférica, a qual tem sido realizada com medidas obtidas por balões meteorológicos ou por fotômetros solares posicionados em superfície. Recentemente, alguns sensores orbitais vêm produzindo dados que também permitem caracterizar a atmosfera, como os oferecidos pelo MODIS. Neste trabalho, valores de Fatores de Refletância Bidirecional de superfície (FRBs) determinados em campo foram comparados com aqueles estimados a partir de imagens TM/Landsat-5 utilizando-se modelos de transferência radiativa (MTR), sendo que os dados de entrada destes modelos referentes à caracterização da atmosfera foram estimados a partir do emprego de um fotômetro solar CIMEL e de produtos atmosféricos MODIS. Na faixa espectral do visível, as estimativas de FRB realizadas com as caracterizações MODIS foram sempre melhores que as realizadas com dados do fotômetro solar CIMEL. Os RMSE encontrados utilizando-se o MTR 5s para as caracterizações com o fotômetro solar CIMEL foram de 0,0316 (TM1), 0,0237 (TM2) e 0,0218 (TM3) e para as caracterizações com dados MODIS (em média) foram de 0,0246 (TM1), 0,0217 (TM2) e (0,0206) TM3. Nas faixas espectrais do infravermelho próximo e médio, os valores de FRB estimados com dados MODIS se confundem àqueles obtidos com o fotômetro CIMEL. Utilizando-se o MTR 5s, para a caracterização CIMEL os RMSE encontrados foram 0,0410 (TM4), 0,0614 (TM5) e 0,0433 (TM7) e para as caracterizações com dados MODIS (em média) foram de 0,0442 (TM4), 0,0654(TM5) e 0,0451 (TM7). Os resultados demonstraram que os dados MODIS são aplicáveis na conversão de dados orbitais para valores de FRB de superfície.
The conversion of digital numbers (DN) of orbital images to physical quantities of the Earth surface is dependent on a good atmospheric characterization, which has been performed through the use of data collected by meteorological balloons or by sun photometers positioned at the surface. Recently some orbital sensors have generated useful data that can be utilized in this characterization like those generated by the sensor MODIS. Here, surface Bidirectional Reflectance Factors (BRF) estimated from field data were compared to those calculated from TM/Landsat-5 images converted through radiative transfer codes. The input data to run these codes were estimated considering two different sources: a sun photometer and the MODIS sensor. In the visible region the BRF estimated by MODIS data were always quite similar to those based on the sun photometer. The RMSE values determined using MTR 5S based on the sun photometer data were 0.0316 (TM1), 0.0237 (TM2) and 0.0218 (TM3) and for those based on MODIS data 0.0246 (TM1), 0.0217 (TM2) e (0.0206) TM3. In the NIR and SWIR spectral regions, the BRF values estimated through MODIS data were also quite similar to those calculated through solar photometer data. Applying MTR 5S to the sun photometer the RMSE values were 0.0410 (TM4), 0.0614 (TM5)…

▼ Pour évaluer l'impact d’un rejet accidentel ou chronique de polluants dans les écosystèmes, il est important d’étudier le dépôt sec des aérosols en milieu rural. Le manque de données expérimentales en milieu rural sur la vitesse de dépôt sec des particules ayant une taille inférieure à 1 μm conduit à des incertitudes au vu des modèles et de leurs différences, qui vont jusqu’à dépasser un ordre de grandeur. Le but de cette étude est de développer une mesure directe de la vitesse de dépôt sec des aérosols (Vd), notamment en utilisant un impacteur à basse pression (Electrical Low Pressure Impactor, ELPI, DEKATI), à travers des mesures expérimentales in situ. L’originalité de la méthode est le calcul des flux de dépôt par corrélation turbulente. Les vitesses de dépôt sec ont été obtenues pour des aérosols atmosphériques de tailles comprises entre 7 nm et 2 μm, sur un terrain plat dans le sud-ouest de la France, sous différentes conditions atmosphériques, ainsi que sur différents couverts (maïs, herbe, sol nu). Vd est analysée en fonction du diamètre des particules et l’impact des conditions micro météorologiques est étudié.
To evaluate the impact of accidental or chronic pollutant releases on ecosystems, we must study the dry deposition of aerosols in rural areas. The lack of experimental data on the dry deposition velocity of particle sizes below 1 μm over rural environments leads to uncertainties regarding models and differences between them, which exceed one order of magnitude. The aim of thisstudy is to develop a method, especially using an Electrical Low Pressure Impactor (Outdoor ELPI, DEKATI) to determine aerosol dry deposition velocities (Vd) over rural areas through experimental measurements. This method is based on eddy covariance flux calculation and spectral analysis correction. Dry deposition velocities were obtained for atmospheric aerosols sizing from 7 nm to2 μm, in the South-West of France on a flat terrain under varied meteorological conditions andvaried substrates (maize, grass and earth). Vd was analysed as a function of the particle diameters, and the impact of micrometeorological parameters was studied.

▼ One of the highest resolution astronomical images ever taken in the visible were obtained by combining the techniques of adaptive optics and lucky imaging. The Adaptive Optics Lucky Imager (AOLI), being developed at Cambridge as part of a European collaboration, combines these two techniques in a dedicated instrument for the first time. The instrument is designed initially for use on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) on the Canary Island of La Palma.
This thesis describes the development of AOLI, in particular the adaptive optics system and a new type of wavefront sensor, the non-linear curvature wavefront sensor (nlCWFS), being used within the instrument. The development of the nlCWFS has been the focus of my work, bringing the technique from a theoretical concept to physical realisation at the WHT in September 2013.
The non-linear curvature wavefront sensor is based on the technique employed in the conventional curvature wavefront sensor where two image planes are located equidistant either side of a pupil plane. Two pairs of images are employed in the nlCWFS providing increased sensitivity to both high- and low- order wavefront distortions. This sensitivity is the reason the nlCWFS was selected for use with AOLI as it will provide significant sky-coverage using natural guide stars alone, mitigating the need for laser guide stars.
This thesis is structured into three main sections; the first introduces the non-linear curvature wavefront sensor, the relevant background and a discussion of simulations undertaken to investigate intrinsic effects. The iterative reconstruction algorithm required for wavefront reconstruction is also introduced. The second section discusses the practical implementation of the nlCWFS using two demonstration systems as the precursor to the optical design used at the WHT and includes details of subsequent design changes. The final section discusses data from both the WHT and a laboratory setup developed at Cambridge following the observing run.
The long-term goal for AOLI is to undertake science observations on the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias, the world's largest optical telescope. The combination of AO and lucky imaging, when used on this telescope, will provide resolutions a factor of two higher than ever before achieved at visible wavelengths. This offers the opportunity to probe the Cosmos in unprecedented detail and has the potential to significantly advance our understanding of the Universe.

▼ Cyanobacteria represent a major harmful algal group in fresh to brackish water environments. Lac des Allemands, a freshwater lake of 49 km2 southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana, provides a natural laboratory for remote characterization of cyanobacteria blooms because of their seasonal occurrence. This dissertation makes a contribution to research methodology pertaining to atmospheric correction of satellite data and development of remote sensing algorithms to quantify cyanobacterial pigments. The Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) sensor provides radiance measurements similar to Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) but with higher spatial resolution. However, OCM does not have a standard atmospheric correction procedure and the comprehensive suite of atmospheric correction procedures for ocean (or lake) is not available in the literature in one place. Atmospheric correction of satellite data over inland lakes, estuaries and coastal waters is also challenging due to difficulties in the estimation of aerosol scattering accurately over these optically complex water bodies. Thus an atmospheric correction procedure was developed to obtain more accurate spectral remote sensing reflectance (<i>Rrs</i>) over Lac des Allemands from OCM data based on NASA’s extensive work for SeaWiFS. Since OCM was not well calibrated, a new vicarious calibration procedure was also developed to adjust OCM radiance values to SeaWiFS radiance as SeaWiFS is well calibrated over its entire life. Empirical inversion algorithms were developed to convert the OCM <i>Rrs</i> at bands centered at 510.6 and 556.4 nm to concentrations of phycocyanin (PC), the primary cyanobacterial pigment. For the algorithms to be uniformly valid over all areas (or all bio-optical regimes) of the lake, a holistic approach was developed to minimize the influence of other optically active constituents on the PC algorithms. Similarly, empirical algorithms to estimate chlorophyll <i>a</i> (Chl <i>a</i>) concentrations were developed using OCM bands centered at 556.4 and 669 nm. The best PC algorithm (R2=0.7450, p<0.0001, n=72) yielded a root mean square error (RMSE) of 36.92 µg/L with a relative RMSE of 10.27%, and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 21.79 µg/L with a relative MAE of 6.06% (PC from 2.75 to 363.50 µg/L, n=48). The best algorithm for Chl <i>a</i> (R2=0.7510, p<0.0001) produced an RMSE of 31.19 µg/L, with relative RMSE = 15.70% and a MAE of 16.56 µg/L, with relative MAE = 8.33% (Chl <i>a</i> from 9.46 to 212.76 µg/L, n=48). The results demonstrate the preliminary success of using the 360 x 236 m resolution OCM data to map cyanobacterial blooms in a small lake. While more field data are required to further validate the long-term performance of the algorithms, at present the algorithms may be implemented to process OCM data in an automated setup to provide timely information on the lake’s bloom conditions. Similarly, retrospective processing may provide a long-term time series of bloom characteristics to document potential trends. The…

▼ This research focuses on using Sentinel-2 optical imagery to provide a means of high-resolution monitoring and evaluation of changes in Total Suspended Matter (TSM) concentration in the Brantas river basin. In situ spectral measurements as well as laboratory results show an extremely turbid nature of the Brantas River surface water. Current monitoring of the river water quality, is done by point measurements representing point estimations of the water quality in time and pace. Interactions within the system are mostly unknown. Having accurate knowledge of near real time water quality information will greatly enhance the effectiveness of the monitoring organizations, especially if this comes in a high spatial and temporal resolution. The Sentinel- 2 remote sensing platform delivers information which can be used to derive such data with a 10m resolution and revisit time of 5 days. To estimate TSM concentrations a multi-conditional algorithm is developed. It uses linear regression for low to medium TSM concentrations based on the green and red band reflectance values and polynomial regression for high to extremely high TSM concentrations based on the red edge NIR band. Testing the multi-conditional algorithm on the WISP-3 in situ spectral data shows the model’s performance is good with r2 = 0.79, RMSE = 66.5 mg/L and NRMSE = 9.7%. Performance of the multi-conditional algorithm is found to be poor when based on Sentinel-2 (S2) bottom of atmosphere data from bands green, red and red edge NIR. However, when recalibrating the polynomial model on Sentinel-2 atmospherically uncorrected top of atmosphere data, results are more promising: r2 = 0.75, RMSE = 64.2 mg/L and NRMSE = 11.3% . Also, TSM estimates from remote sensing reflectances atmospherically corrected by different processors are compared, from which ACOLITE (RMSE = 5.0 mg/L, NRMSE = 25.3%) performs significantly better than C2RCC (RMSE = 11.3 mg/L, NRMSE = 57.5%) and Sen2Cor (RMSE = 42.8 mg/L, NRMSE = 217%). This study shows that 1) high-resolution spatial and temporal variation of TSM concentration estimation can be made visible within the Brantas river basin, 2) an overview of TSM concentration estimation of the entire basin at one moment in time can be achieved and visualised, 3) an extensive historical record of TSM concentration estimations can be accessed, and 4) information is provided to prioritize sampling locations and field surveying times.

▼ Lake Erie is well known for its high biodiversity and
productive fisheries. Rapid human population growth, urbanization
and agricultural development cause various threats to biodiversity
in the Lake Erie coastal area. Recently, there has been growing
interest in fish diversity and abundance in relation to landscape,
land cover and vegetation diversity. In this study, identification
of land cover and assessment of biodiversity in the Lake Erie
nearshore ecosystems have been conducted using a combination of
remote sensing and field data. In collaboration with the University
of Toledo and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, twenty two
pre-select sites along the coast of the Western basin were assessed
using the airborne NASA Glenn Hyperspectral Imager (HSI) and
in-situ hyperspectral measurements for mapping land cover types at
different compositional levels. This study also present an insight
into the different
atmospheric correction models and classification
techniques and their applicability to the NASA Glenn HSI data.
Eight different
atmospheric correction methods and ten different
image classification methods were evaluated. The Empirical Line
Calibration was chosen as the best
atmospheric method for the NASA
Glenn HSI images. The MODRAN based models such as ENVI FLAASH and
ATCOR are not applicable to the NASA Glenn HSI images. The Support
Vector Machine (SVM) classification method results in the highest
overall accuracy (85.58%). The error propagation due to the
inclusion and exclusion of NIR bands at different pre-processing
and processing levels suggests that the highest accuracy was
obtained when NIR bands are excluded before the
atmospheric
corrections (85.58%). The accuracy is somewhat lower (84.89%) when
NIR bands are excluded prior to the classification, leaving the
lowest accuracy for the case when NIR bands are included in both
atmospheric correction and classification steps. To avoid the need
of excluding NIR bands, some additional radiometric adjustment of
this spectral region should be considered by NASA. The
multispectral images collected by Pleiades exhibit lower
classification accuracy when compared with the NASA Glenn HSI data
(81.35% and 93.28% for a chosen image respectively) even in the
case when the NIR bands are excluded from the hyperspectral
dataset. It is most likely that spectral resolution causes the
trend. The diversity indices (Shannon index and Simpson index)
calculated from the NASA Glen HSI images suggest that the diversity
in the sites are high (0.67 for Simpson and 1.44 for Shannon). The
method is proposed as the baseline for future studies where the
biodiversity indices are generated from remote sensing. A spectral
library was created for tree and shrub species using the in-situ
reflectance measurements to support our analysis and future
studies.

▼ La fluorescence chlorophyllienne induite par le soleil est une nouvelle façon de suivre l'évolution de la végétation et le cycle global du carbone. Grâce au modèle simulé et aux expériences sur le terrain et aéroportée, la recherche multi-échelles de méthode de détection de la fluorescence de la chlorophylle induite par le soleil est développé dans cette thèse. Les principales conclusions et innovations sont les suivantes : 1. Les expériences de contrôle en eau du maïs montrent que la fluorescence passive peut être utilisée pour détecter le stress hydrique des culture. L'analyse de la réponse de la fluorescence et de la température montre que la fluorescence est très sensible au stress hydrique précoce. 2. Après avoir analysé les effets de la température, de l'angle zénithal solaire et du rendement quantique de la fluorescence sur la détermination de la fluorescence, nous proposons une méthode d’obtention de la fluorescence qualitative basée sur l'indice de réflectance. 3. L’analyse des effets de la détermination de la fluorescence aéroportée nous a permis de montrer que l'angle zénithal solaire et la hauteur du capteur aéroporté sont les facteurs importants qui influent sur la détermination de la fluorescence induite par le soleil.
Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence is a new way to monitor the vegetation change and global carbon cycle. Through the model simulated analysis, the pot experiment and the airborne flying experiment, the research on detecting the multi-scale sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence is developed in this dissertation. The main conclusions and innovations are as follows: 1. The maize water control experiments demonstrate that the passive fluorescence can be used to detect the crop water stress, and the analysis of the different responses of the fluorescence and temperature illustrates that the fluorescence is much sensitive to the early water stress. 2. Analyze the effects of temperature, sun zenith angle and fluorescence quantum efficiency on the qualitative fluorescence retrieval, and propose a qualitative fluorescence retrieval method based on the reflectance index. 3. Analyze the effects of airborne fluorescence retrieval, and obtain that sun zenith angle and airborne sensor height are the important factors to affect the sun-induced fluorescence retrieval from the simulated analysis and airborne flying experiment.

▼ The atmosphere distorts the spectrum of remotely sensed data, negatively affecting all forms of investigating Earth's surface. To gather reliable data, it is vital that
atmospheric corrections are accurate. The current state of the field of
atmospheric correction does not account well for the benefits and costs of different
correction algorithms. Ground spectral data are required to evaluate these algorithms better. This dissertation explores using cameras as radiometers as a means of gathering ground spectral data. I introduce techniques to implement a camera systems for
atmospheric correction using off the shelf parts. To aid the design of future camera systems for radiometric
correction, methods for estimating the system error prior to construction, calibration and testing of the resulting camera system are explored. Simulations are used to investigate the relationship between the reflectance accuracy of the camera system and the quality of
atmospheric correction. In the design phase, read noise and filter choice are found to be the strongest sources of system error. I explain the calibration methods for the camera system, showing the problems of pixel to angle calibration, and adapting the web camera for scientific work. The camera system is tested in the field to estimate its ability to recover directional reflectance from BRF data. I estimate the error in the system due to the experimental set up, then explore how the system error changes with different cameras, environmental set-ups and inversions. With these experiments, I learn about the importance of the dynamic range of the camera, and the input ranges used for the PROSAIL inversion. Evidence that the camera can perform within the specification set for ELM
correction in this dissertation is evaluated. The analysis is concluded by simulating an ELM
correction of a scene using various numbers of calibration targets, and levels of system error, to find the number of cameras needed for a full-scale implementation.

Ce travail de thèse porte sur la détermination de facteurs de correction de la dégradation de la radioactivité mesurée dans les filtres de surveillance. Dans un premier temps, des filtres radioactifs représentatifs des prélèvements atmosphériques ont été préparés à l’aide du banc d’essais nucléaire ICARE. L’étude expérimentale sur les filtres de référence a permis d’avoir une base de données pout la détermination des facteurs de correction dans diverses conditions de filtration. Dans un second temps, ce travail a conduit une nouvelle méthode numérique mise au point pour déterminer les facteurs de correction. Il s’agit de coupler des simulations de filtration des particules d’aérosol à l’aide de GeoDict, permettant de calculer des écoulements dans les milieux poreux et des simulations de parcours de particules a dans la matière à l’aide de MCNPX. Le bon accord obtenu, en comparant les réponses des spectres en énergie et des facteurs de correction numériques et expérimentaux, a permis de valider le modèle numérique
The measurement of radioactivity in the filters of airborne radioactive surveillance is a major difficulty metrology. Indeed, the absorption of a radiation in the filter media and the mass of aerosols accumulated distort the nuclear counters response. This thesis work focuses on the determination of correction factors for the radioactivity loss in the survey filters. In a first step, radioactive filters representing the atmospheric samples have been prepared using the nuclear test bench ICARE. The experimental study on reference filters provided a database to determine correction factors for various filtration conditions. The second step of the work proposed a new numerical method developed to determine the correction factors. It consists of coupling GeoDict for particles filtration simulations and MCNPX simulations for a transport in matter. The good agreement obtained by comparing the numerical and experimental correction factors has permitted to validate the numerical model

▼ La disponibilité de nouveaux moyens d’acquisition en télédétection, satellitaire (PLEIADES, HYPXIM), aéroportée ou par drone (UAV) à très haute résolution spatiale ouvre la voie à leur utilisation pour l’étude de milieux complexes telles que les villes. En particulier, la connaissance de la ville pour l’étude des îlots de chaleur, la planification urbaine, l’estimation de la biodiversité de la végétation et son état de santé nécessite au préalable une étape de classification des matériaux qui repose sur l’utilisation de l’information spectrale accessible en télédétection hyperspectrale 0,4-2,5μm. Une des principales limitations des méthodes de classification réside dans le non traitement des zones à l’ombre. Des premiers travaux ont montré qu’il était possible d’exploiter l’information radiative dans les ombres des bâtiments. En revanche, les méthodes actuelles ne fonctionnent pas dans les ombres des arbres du fait de la porosité de leur couronne. L’objectif de cette thèse vise à caractériser les propriétés optiques de surface à l’ombre de la végétation arborée urbaine au moyen d’outils de transfert radiatif et de correction atmosphérique. L’originalité de ce travail est d’étudier la porosité d’un arbre via la grandeur de transmittance de la couronne. La problématique a donc été abordée en deux temps. Premièrement, la caractérisation de la transmittance d’un arbre isolé a été menée avec l’utilisation de l’outil DART à travers la mise en œuvre d’un plan d’expériences et d’études de sensibilité qui ont permis de la relier à des paramètres biophysiques et externes. Une campagne de mesures terrain a ensuite été réalisée afin d’évaluer son estimation à partir de différents niveaux de modélisation de l’arbre, dont un modèle réel acquis par mesures lidar terrestre. Deuxièmement, une nouvelle méthode de correction atmosphérique 3D adaptée à la végétation urbaine, ICARE-VEG, a été développée à partir des résultats précédents. Une campagne aéroportée et de mesures terrain UMBRA a été dédiée à sa validation. Ses performances comparées à d’autres outils existants ouvrent de larges perspectives pour l’interprétation globale d’une image par télédétection et pour souligner la complexité de modéliser des processus physiques naturels à une échelle spatiale très fine.
The new advances in remote sensing acquisitions at very high spatial resolution, either spaceborne (PLEIADES, HYPXIM), airborne or unmanned aerial vehicles borne, open the way for the study of complex environments such as urban areas. In particular, the better understanding of urban heat islands, urban planning, vegetation biodiversity, requires the knowledge of detailed material classification mapsbased on the use of spectral information brought by hyperspectral imagery 0.4-2.5μm. However, one of the main limitations of classification methods relies on the absence of shadow processing. Past studies have demonstrated that spectral information was possible to be extracted from shadows cast by buildings. But existing methods fail in shadows cast by trees because of…

▼ Atmospheric turbulence is a phenomenon of interest in many scientific fields. The direct effects of
atmospheric turbulence can be observed in everyday situations. The twinkling of stars is an indicator of weak
atmospheric turbulence while the shimmering of objects above a hot surface is an indicator of strong
atmospheric turbulence. The effects of
atmospheric turbulence are generally considered a nuisance to optical applications. Image blurring effects are often present when observing distant objects through
atmospheric turbulence. Applications that require maintaining the coherence of a laser beam, such as in free space optical communication, suffer from poor link quality in the presence of
atmospheric turbulence.
Attempts to compensate for the effects of
atmospheric turbulence have varied in effectiveness. In astronomical applications, weak cases of
atmospheric turbulence have been successfully compensated with the use of a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor combined with adaptive optics. Software techniques such as “Lucky Imaging” can be useful when clear images briefly appear through the presence of weak turbulence. However, stronger cases of
atmospheric turbulence often found in horizontal or slant paths near the Earth’s surface present a much more challenging situation to counteract.
This thesis focuses primarily on the effects of strong or “deep”
atmospheric turbulence. The process of compensating for the effects of strong
atmospheric turbulence begins with being able to characterize it effectively. A scintillometer measures the scintillation in the intensity of a light source to determine the strength of current turbulence conditions. Thermal fluctuation measurements can also be used to derive the strength of
atmospheric turbulence. Experimental results are presented of a developed large aperture scintillometer, thermal probe
atmospheric characterization device, and a transmissometer. While these tools are effective in characterizing
atmospheric turbulence, they do not provide for a means to correct for turbulence effects. To compensate for the effects of
atmospheric turbulence, the development of the Plenoptic Sensor is presented as a wavefront sensor capable of handling strong turbulence conditions. Theoretical and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the Plenoptic Sensor, specifically in how it leads to adaptive optics algorithms that can rapidly correct for the effects of turbulence.

▼ Os dados de sensores remotos estão sujeitos a uma série de efeitos radiométricos dependentes das condições ambientais e instrumentais particulares ao momento de aquisição das cenas. De modo a otimizar a extração de informações intrínsecas aos alvos, procurou-se normalizar ou corrigir estes efeitos indesejados através de transformações radiométricas que aumentam a validade e compreensão dos resultados obtidos. Neste estudo, testou-se a transformação radiométrica dos valores digitais das imagens para reflectâncias corrigidas para os efeitos atmosféricos com um metódo que utiliza informações intrísecas às imagens. Também verificou-se a estabilidade radiométrica do sensor TM/Landsat-5 no período de maio de 1984 à maio de 1986. Os resultados demostraram que os números digitais e reflectâncias apresentam comportamentos distintos ao longo do espectro, sendo os espectros das reflectâncias corrigidas para os efeitos atmosféricos os que mais concordam com os valores de reflectância obtidos em levantamentos espectrorradiométricos de tempo. Os efeitos provocados, mas não eliminados, e o sensor TM manteve-se com respostas estáveis.
Remote sensing data are subject to a series of radiometric effects dependent on environmental and instrumental conditions specific to the image acquisition moment. In order to optimize the extraction of target intrinsec information, it is sought to normalize or correct these unwanted effects by means of radiometric transformations which enhance the validity and comprehensibility of the obtained results. The present study tested digital value radiometric transformations from images to apparent reflectances and to atmospheric effect corrected reflectances by means of a method which uses image intrinsic information. The radiometric stability of TM/Landsat-5 sensor was also observed from May, 1984 to May, 1987. The results showed that digital numbers and reflectances present different behaviours along the spectrum. The spectra of atmospheric corrected reflectances are those that most agree with the values of the reflectances obtained from spectroradiometric field work. The effects due to different illumination and atmospheric conditions were reduced but not eliminated and TM sensor kept stable responses.

▼ This study evaluates a series of
atmospheric correction techniques developed at RIT called Total Inversion. The ability to convert
remotely sensed image data to physically meaningful scientific units, such as surface reflectance, has been demonstrated f
hyperspectral systems. This capability, however, has not been proven with the use of multispectral satellite-based remote sensing
systems. The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of adapting the Total Inversion techniques for multispectral s
understanding the capabilities and limitations of these techniques for operational use. This means that the algorithmic process being
used must be image based, have practical run times, require little or no user intervention and produce consistent results within
acceptable error tolerances. Three tasks were performed to study the feasibility of using Total Inversion for multispectral sensors.
Task one
evaluated the potential for using a pre-built set of lookup tables (LUTs) for use with the radiative transfer based spectral ma
atmospheric correction methods. Task two
is a sensitivity analysis for using independent ancillary estimates for elevation and water vapor inputs. Task three of this study
focused on the comparison of two algorithms for the estimation of aerosol visibility. These included the regression intersection
method (RIM) for spectral fitting and the non-linear least squares spectral fit method (NLLSSF). For all these tasks the study ut
existing image data and ground truth to enable evaluation and demonstration of quantitative performance of various approaches

▼ Exchange of mass (water vapor), momentum, and energy between atmosphere andocean has profound influence on weather and climate. This exchange takes place at the air-sea interface, which is part of the marine
atmospheric boundary layer. Various empirical relations are being used for estimating these fluxes in numericalweather and climate models but their accuracies are not sufficiently verified or tested over the Indian Ocean. The main difficulty is that vast areas of open oceans are not easily accessible. The marine environment is very corrosive and unattended long term and accurate measurements are extremely expensive. India has research ships that spend most of their time over the seas around India but that opportunity is yet to be exploited. To address this, an air-sea flux measurement system for operation on board research ships was planned. The system was tested on board Indian Research Vessels ORV SagarKanya during its cruise SK-296 in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) in July-August 2012, and NIO ship Sindhu Sadhana in June-July 2016. The complete set included instruments for measuring wind velocity, windspeed and direction, air and water temperature, humidity, pressure, all components of radiation and rainfall. In addition, ship motion was recorded at required sampling rate to correct for wind velocity. The set up facilitates the direct computation of sensible and latent heat fluxes using the eddy covariance method.
In this thesis, design and installation of meteorological and ship motion sensors onboard research ships, data collection and quality control, computation of fluxes of heat, moisture and momentum using eddy covariance method and their comparison with those derived from bulk method are described. A set of sensors (hereafter, flux measuring system) were mounted on a retractable boom, ~7 m long forward of the bow to minimize the flow disturbance caused by the ship superstructures. The wind observed in the ship frame was corrected for ship motion contaminations. During the CTCZ cruise period true mean wind speed was over 10 m/s and true wind direction was South/South-Westerly. True windspeedis computed combiningdata from the anemometer a compass connected to AWS and a GPS. Turbulent fluxes were computed from motion-corrected time-series of high frequency velocity, water vapor, and air temperature data. Covariance latent heat flux, sensible heat flux, and wind stress were obtained by cross-correlating the motion-corrected vertical velocity with fast humidity fluctuations measured with anIR hygrometer, temperate fluctuation from sonic anemometer and motion-corrected horizontal windfluctuations from sonic anemometer, respectively.
During the first attempt made in July-August 2012 as part of a cruise of CTCZ monsoonresearch program, observations were mainly taken in the North Bay of Bengal. The mean air-temperature and surface pressure were ~28 Deg…

▼ This thesis describes the development and validation of two inversion
algorithms based on an explicit and an implicit
atmospheric correction scheme
to retrieve the concentration and distribution of water constituents in
European coastal waters from multi-spectral satellite data. The algorithms are
designed for radiance measurements of the grating spectrometer MERIS on board
of the ENVISAT satellite of the European Space Agency ESA. A validation of all
inversion steps is performed with a match-up analysis of in situ measurements
taken simultaneously to the satellite overpasses. The findings of this thesis
contribute to a deeper understanding of possible operational algorithms and
their limitations in the retrieval of the water constituents: chlorophyll-a,
total suspended matter and yellow substance absorption at 443 nm. The
developed algorithms are based on the inversion of radiative transfer
simulations by using artificial neural network techniques. Compared to
standard look-up table approaches the main advantages of artificial neural
networks are their ability to continously approximate the function's output
data and their robustness against noisy input data. Standard methods for the
retrieval of water constituents from satellite measurements consist of two
steps: an explicit
atmospheric correction to derive the spectral reflectance
of the water body at mean sea level followed by an inversion method to
retrieve the water constituents from the previously atmospherically corrected
spectra. Often more than 90% of the total measured signal originates from
atmospheric scattering. Beside the choice of the bio-optical model, the
accuracy of the water retrieval is directly related to the accuracy of the
explicit
atmospheric correction scheme. To overcome possible errors in an
atmospheric correction this work investigates the accuracy and limits of an
implicit
atmospheric correction method, which directly relates the satellite
measured signal at the top of the atmosphere to the concentrations of the
water constituents. The results of this so called direct inversion method are
compared both to in situ measurements as well as to an indirect inversion
algorithm based on an explicit
atmospheric correction.

▼ A dynamical downscaling framework is adopted to explore historical (1950-1999) and projected (2050-2099) behavior of extreme precipitation (PR), maximum temperature (TMAX) and minimum temperature (TMIN) events within the contiguous United States. Compared to reanalysis data, simulations represent temperature better than precipitation, and the model performs better east of the Rocky Mountains than over the mountainous west. Extreme events are defined according to exceedances of percentiles of the distribution of precipitation and temperature variables (typically the 90th, 95th, and 99th percentiles), as well as the actual magnitudes corresponding to the percentiles. After applying a bias-
correction to all three variables, extreme percentile thresholds show broadly higher values for all three variables in the projected simulation compared to the historical simulation. Precipitation extremes show no systematic trends of frequency or intensity in either the historical or the projected simulations. Trends of TMAX and TMIN have frequency and intensity that are consistently positive in the historical simulation, but the positive trend patterns are somewhat different in the projected simulation. In the projected simulation, all climate zones exhibit consistent increases in PR and TMAX extremes, and a decrease in TMIN extremes, both in the frequency and intensity. Northern zones such as Dfa and Dfb exhibit more changes of extremes in the projected simulation compared to other zones. On the other hand, the patterns of extreme frequency and intensity in all zones suggest their dependence on regional climatologies (e.g., B class zones have more frequent TMAX and less frequent PR than other zones, while D class zones have lower TMAX and TMIN intensity than other zones). In the projected simulation, PR intensity increases more significantly than frequency, while frequency increases more than intensity for TMAX and TMIN. The projected heat waves (defined as high temperature events lasting multiple days) are more severe in both number and duration, which results predominately from the increasing of the mean TMAX.

▼ Synthetic aperture ladar (SAL) is an emerging remote
sensing technology capable of providing high-resolution,
interpretable, and timely imagery. SAL and synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) are similar in that they provide high-resolution imagery
suitable for a wide-variety of applications beyond the diffraction
limit of the real aperture. Several advantages of SAL are;
realistic imagery resulting from diffuse scattering of
optically-rough objects, fine directionality of laser beam making
the technology inherently low probability-of-detect, and shorter
synthetic aperture collection times, all of which result from
operating at optical as opposed to RF wavelengths. With the
dramatic decrease in wavelength, SAL systems become more
susceptible to phase errors induced by platform motion, vibration,
and
atmospheric turbulence. In this research effort, we focus on
mitigating the detrimental effects of
atmospheric turbulence on SAL
image quality. We show that traditional autofocusing algorithms;
Phase Gradient Autofocus (PGA), Sharpness-based Autofocus, and
Sparsity Driven Autofocus (SDA), are unable to mitigate
atmospheric
phase errors due to their spatially-variant nature.We overcome the
challenge imposed by spatially-variant
atmospheric phase errors
through the use of a model-based image reconstruction framework.
Utilizing this framework we implement three different
spatially-variant model error
correction algorithms; Moving Target
Autofocus (MTA), Spatially-variant Phase
Correction (SVPC), and
Model-based
Atmospheric Phase
Correction (MBAPC) algorithms. The
MTA algorithm is a spatially-variant phase error estimation
algorithm originally designed for focusing moving targets in SAR.
We develop an image-quality metric (IQM) based parameter tuning
algorithm that enables the success of the MTA algorithm for the
unique challenges presented by
atmospheric phase errors. Both SVPC
and MBAPC are spatially-variant model error
correction algorithms
developed to handle
atmospheric phase errors corrupting SAL data.
In SVPC we estimate the
atmospheric phase error for all targets in
the scene, under the assumption that the scene is inherently
sparse. In MBAPC we decompose the
atmospheric phase errors onto
well-established spatial basis sets, Zernike polynomials and
Fourier series. The spatial basis sets are used to parametrically
represent the spatial variations of the
atmospheric phase error
throughout the scene.We implement the model error
correction
algorithms with a sparse image reconstruction (SIR) algorithm and
quantify their performance using multiple simulations. We design an
atmospheric ray trace simulation to test the efficacy of the three
model error
correction algorithms for wide-range of turbulence
strengths. The
atmospheric phase perturbations are simulated by
tracing diverging rays through multiple Kolmogorov-distributed
atmospheric phase screens. Utilizing the developed IQM-based
parameter tuning algorithm we optimize each algorithm, in the sense
that image sharpness is maximized across all turbulence strengths.
Lastly, we…

▼ The purpose of this study was to use Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) chlorophyll data to
identify the predominant spatial and temporal patterns in
chlorophyll variability in Lake Erie. Three algorithms were tested
against in situ chlorophyll measurements: O’Reilly’s OC2 and OC3
algorithms (1998) and Cannizzaro’s shallow water algorithm (2005).
These algorithms can be calculated from atmospherically corrected
reflectance data distributed by NASA; algorithms that required data
without
atmospheric corrections were not considered. The initial
regression results showed no correlation for any of the algorithms
tested. However, outliers for all three algorithm regressions were
consistently missing reflectance values at one or more wavelengths.
Removing pixels that had missing reflectances at any wavelength,
even those not required to compute the algorithm, greatly improved
algorithm performance. This result supports the hypothesis that a
more advanced
correction procedure for
atmospheric scattering that
produced more reliable reflectance values for turbid inland waters
would improve the performance of chlorophyll retrieval algorithms
for Lake Erie. While none of the algorithms were
valid in Lake Erie’s turbid western basin, OC3 performed best in
the central and eastern basins, with an R
2
of 0.56 and RMSE of 0.73. OC3 chlorophyll concentrations were
calculated for all the available 2002-2007 non-winter MODIS images
of Lake Erie. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to the
resulting time series, which extracted patterns of seasonal
variability from the data set. The central basin showed more
seasonal variability than the eastern basin, with elevated
chlorophyll concentrations in spring and
fall.

▼ Abstract: Studies and researches referring to attendance of the agropecuary production have a determinant strategic importance in the economy of the country. In the last years, those researches have been suffering great transformations to become less subjectives. The association of the remote sensing technique and statistic methods can provide a synoptic view of the seeded areas, in this manner producing information about the planted area of the crops and the variability on them. However, the use of data from the images of satellite is stipulated mainly to the reflectivity properties and absorption of the surface components and also for the
atmosphere behaviour. Amongst the crops of great economic value, the soybean (Glycine max (L) Merrill.) emphasizes as one of the main product of the Brazilian agriculture, assuming big economic importance in the exportations. The Paraná state stands out as one of the biggest agricultural producers of the country, and its economy is based mainly towards to the production of grains. In this context, the aim of the research was study the relation between the spectral behaviour of the soybean crop with the end yield along its development cycle, producing information and methodologies to assist the attendance of the production and area estimation of the western Paraná region crop. The areas monitored reach 36 municipal districts and two agricultural commercial areas located near of Cascavel/PR. It was used images from satellite Landsat 5/TM (orbit/point 223/77) and images of the satellite Terra sensor MODIS
(product MOD13Q1), then characterizing the crossing scale between the images from both sensors with different spatial resolution. Crop yield data were collected, in the local scale (to both monitored areas) and in the regional scale together with the Secretary of Agriculture (SEAB) (to the 36 municipal districts). Through the satellites images, the soybean crop was monitored in the 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 harvests. For the use of images from the satellite Landsat 5/TM of multitemporal form was realized the proceeding of
atmospheric correction and image normalization. In the aim of distinguishing the biomass spectral answer of the soybean crop and its relation to the end yield, it was created images referring to vegetation indexes NDVI and GVI. It was accomplished analyses of correlation and regression between the yield data (variable predict) and spectral data (variable predictor) derived from vegetation
indexes (NDVI and GVI) in municipal level (36 municipal districts) and local (two areas). The results obtained with the
atmospheric correction and image normalization presented coherent as to the spectral behaviour of the vegetation and soil target. After the area mapping with the soybean crop (soybean mask) by the temporary images of Landsat 5/TM, it was possible to realize the cross-scale to the MODIS sensor. The spectral behaviour of the crop was showed different in the Landsat 5/TM images to the apparent reflectance usage, surface and normalization. By mean of the graphics of…

▼ The expected technical lifetime for a wind turbine is 20-25 years (Wizelius, 2007). In the process of planning a wind farm on a site an estimation of the average wind speed and the energy yield is required from the site. Due to large fluctuations in wind velocity from one year to another it is, from a climatologically point of view, not sufficient to measure the wind for a short period of time, e.g. one year. The year measured may have uncommonly high or uncommonly low winds and thereby generate an average not representative of the wind climate on the site. In the same time it is neither practical nor economically desirable to measure for a longer time period. Instead the measured data collected for a short period of time is scaled into a normal year before it is used to calculate the energy content. This normal year correction can be preformed using different methods. Principally, the methods relate the short time series, measured on the site, to one or more variables of a long time reference series. As a long time reference series the geostrophic wind on the site or a series of measured wind nearby can be used. If the correlation between the two series is sufficiently high a normal year correction may be done using the relation. Normal year correction has foremost been done using the relation between the velocities of the measured wind and a reference wind. The purpose in this study is to evaluate and implement a part of an algorithm for normal year correction considering additional variables besides wind velocity. The relationships studied are between measured wind speed and geostrophic wind speed, geostrophic wind direction and time of the year. For the purpose of evaluating the algorithm two wind data series from Näsudden, on the Swedish island of Gotland, for a period of 15 years has been used. Measured wind on 75 meters and geostrophic wind on 850hPa. Where the geostrophic wind has been used as a long time reference and the measured wind for one year at the time has been related to this reference. The relation has then been used together with the geostrophic wind data to create an estimation of the wind climate on Näsudden in three steps. Step one establishes the estimation due to the relation of geostrophic wind speed. Step two corrects the estimation due to the relation of geostrophic wind direction and step three corrects the estimation due to the relation of time of year. The conclusions from this study showed that with the method used for implementing the algorithm the normal year correction using only the relation between the velocities of the measured wind and the geostrophic wind gives the best estimation of the climatically mean wind speed. The standard deviation gives a 5 % risk for more than 0.436 m/s error for estimation of the mean wind on the site, which…
