    查看更多>>摘要:In this paper,the Multi-Temporal Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(MT-InSAR)technol-ogy is adopted to monitor the Line of Sight(LOS)displacement of Fushun West Opencast Coal Mine(FWOCM)and its surrounding areas in northeast China using Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)images acquired from 2018 to 2022.The spatial-temporal evolution of urban subsidence and the south-slope landslide are both analyzed in detail.Comparison with ground measurements and cross-correlation analysis via cross wavelet transform with monthly precipitation data are also conducted,to analyze the influence factors of displacements in FWOCM.The monitoring results show that a subsidence basin appeared in the urban area near the eastern part of the north slope in 2018,with settlement center located at the intersection of E3000 and fault F1.The Qian Tai Shan(QTS)landslide on the south slope,which experienced rapid sliding during 2014 to 2016,presents seasonal deceleration and acceleration with precipitation,with the maximum displacement in vicinity of the Liushan paleochannel.The results of this paper have fully taken in account for the complications of large topographic relief,geological conditions,spatial distribution and temporal evolution characteristics of surface displacements in opencast mining area.The wide range and long time series dynamic monitoring of opencast mine are of great significance to ensure mine safety production and geological disaster prevention in the investigated mining area.

    查看更多>>摘要:This paper is intended to summarize the research conducted during the first 2 years of the Dragon 5 project 59,332(geophysical and atmospheric retrieval from Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)data stacks over natural scenarios).Monitoring atmospheric phenomena,encompassing both tropospheric and ionospheric conditions,holds pivotal significance for various scientific and practical applications.In this paper,we present an exploration of advanced techniques for estimating tropospheric and ionospheric phase screens using stacks of Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)images.Our study delves into the current state-of-the-art in atmospheric monitor-ing with a focus on spaceborne SAR systems,shedding light on their evolving capabilities.For tropospheric phase screen estimation,we propose a novel approach that jointly estimates the tropospheric component from all the images.We discuss the methodology in detail,high-lighting its ability to recover accurate tropospheric maps.Through a series of quantitative case studies using real Sentinel-1 satellite data,we demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique in capturing tropospheric variability over different geographical regions.Concurrently,we delve into the estimation of ionospheric phase screens utilizing SAR image stacks.The intri-cacies of ionospheric disturbances pose unique challenges,necessitating specialized techni-ques.We dissect our approach,showcasing its capacity to mitigate ionospheric noise and recover precise phase information.Real data from the Sentinel-1 satellite are employed to showcase the efficacy of our method,unraveling ionospheric perturbations with improved accuracy.The integration of our techniques,though presented separately for clarity,collec-tively contributes to a comprehensive framework for atmospheric monitoring.Our findings emphasize the potential of SAR-based approaches in advancing our knowledge of atmospheric processes,thus fostering advancements in weather prediction,geophysics,and environmental management.

    查看更多>>摘要:The accurate three-dimensional wind field obtained from a Doppler lidar not only helps to comprehend the refined structure of complex airflow but also provides important and valuable solutions for many fields.However,the underlying homogeneity assumption of the typical wind retrieval methods,such as Doppler Beam Swinging(DBS)and Velocity Azimuth Display(VAD)based on a single-lidar,will introduce the measurement uncertainty in complex terrain.In this paper,a new design of a wind measurement campaign involving seven lidars was carried out,which contained the three-lidar-based Virtual Tower(VT)using a time-space synchroniza-tion technique and four single-lidars with different elevation angles.This study investigates the performance of VT and VAD measurements under various conditions and evaluates the sensitivity of wind measurement uncertainty of VAD to the horizontal spatial-and probe volume-average effects associated with elevation angles of the laser beam.The inter-comparison results between VT and four VADs show consistent trends with small relative errors under neutral atmospheric conditions with weak wind velocity.Under convective or high Turbulence Intensity(TI)conditions,the relative errors between VT and VAD become larger and more fluctuant.Moreover,it is found that the measurement uncertainty of VAD increases at a given elevation angle with the increasing measurement heights,which is caused by the horizontal homogeneity associated with the conical scanning area.Additionally,the simulated and measured results of four VADs indicate that a larger elevation angle corresponds to a lower measurement uncertainty for a given height.

    查看更多>>摘要:The need for cross-comparison and validation of all-weather Land Surface Temperature(LST)products has arisen due to the release of multiple such products aimed at providing compre-hensive all-weather monitoring capabilities.In this study,we focus on validating two well-established all-weather LST products(i.e.MLST-AS and TRIMS LST)against in-situ measure-ments obtained from four high-quality LST validation sites:Evora,Gobabeb,KIT-Forest,and Lake Constance.For the land sites,MLST-AS exhibits better accuracy,with RMSEs ranging from 1.6 K to 2.1 K,than TRIMS LST,the RMSEs of which range from 1.9 K to 3.1 K.Because MLST-AS pixels classified as"inland water"are masked out,the validation over Lake Constance is limited to TRIMS LST:it yields a RMSE of 1.6 K.Furthermore,the validation results show that MLST-AS and TRIMS LST exhibit better accuracy under clear-sky conditions than unclear-sky conditions across all sites.Since the accuracy of the all-weather LST products is considerably affected by the input clear-sky LST products,we further compare the all-weather LST with the correspond-ing input clear-sky LST to conduct an error source analysis.Considering the clear-sky pixels on MLST-AS directly using the estimates from MLST,the error source analysis is limited to examining TRIMS LST and its input(i.e.MODIS LST).The findings indicate that TRIMS LST is highly correlated with MODIS LST.The investigation and validation of the two selected all-weather LST products objectively evaluate their accuracy and stability,which provides impor-tant information for applications of these all-weather LST products.
