Abstract. The study aims to model regional evaporation that possesses the ability to present the spatial distribution of evaporation across the whole Taiwan by the adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based solely on remote sensing data. The remote sensing data used in this study consist of Landsat image products including Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and land surface temperature (LST). The model construction is designed through two types of data allocation (temporal and spatial) driven with the same ten-year data of EVI and LST derived from Landsat images. Evidences indicate the estimation model based solely on remotely sensed data can effectively detect the spatial variation of evaporation and appropriately capture the evaporation trend with acceptable errors of about 1 mm day−1. The results also demonstrate the composite of EVI and LST input to the proposed estimation model improves the accuracy of estimated evaporation values as compared with the model using LST as the only input, which reveals EVI indeed benefits the estimation process. The results suggest Model-T (temporal input allocation) is suitable for making island-wide evaporation estimation while Model-S (spatial input allocation) is suitable for making evaporation estimation at ungauged sites. An island-wide evaporation map for the whole study area (Taiwan Island) is then derived. It concludes the proposed ANFIS model incorporated solely with remote sensing data can reasonably well generate evaporation estimation and is reliable as well as easily applicable for operational estimation of evaporation over large areas where the network of ground-based meteorological gauging stations is not dense enough or readily available.

Abstract. The accurate acquisition of land surface reflectance (SR) data determines the accuracy of ground objects recognition, classification and land surface parameter inversion using remote sensing data, which is the basis of remote sensing data application. In this study, a Control No-Changed Set (CNCS) radiometric normalization method is proposed to realize spectral information transformation of multi-sensor data, which is based on the Iteratively Reweighted Multivariate Alteration Detection (IR-MAD), and includes automatic selection and step-by-step optimization of no-change pixels. The No-Changed set (NC) is obtained by selecting the original no-change pixels between the target image and the reference image according to the linear relationship. In the obtained original no-change regions, IR-MAD rules with iterative control are used to fix the final no-change pixels, after regression modeling and calculation, the normalized images are obtained. The method is tested on multi-images from multi-sensors in three groups of experiments (GF-1 WFV and Landsat-8 OLI, GF-1 PMS and Sentinel-2 MSI, and Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2 MSI) with different landcover areas. The results of radiometric normalization are evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. The data of the three groups of experiments have a high correlation (correlation coefficient r values > 0.85), indicating that they can be used together as complementary data. The Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) values calculate from the NC between the reference and normalized target images are much smaller than those between the reference and original target images. The radiometric colour composition effects, and the typical ground objects spectral reflective curves of the reference and normalized target images are very similar after radiometric normalization. These results indicate that the CNCS method considers the linear relationship of the no-change pixels and is effective, stable, and can be used to improve the consistency of SR of multi-images from multi-sensors.

Abstract Mount Dempo is the highest volcano in South Sumatra, which lies between the Bukit Barisan mountains and Gumai. The mountain located in Dempo Makmur Village, Sub-district of Pagar Alam, Lahat Regency, South Sumatra is located at an altitude of 3173 meters above sea level with coordinates of 4.03 ° S 103.13 °E. Mount Dempo’s morphology is formed by pyroclastic deposits consisting of Tuff and Sand rocks. Mount Dempo’s vegetation is dominated by Cassia sp. and Camellia sinensis for upper vegetation, while Strobilanthes hamiltoniana and Strophanthus membranifolium dominate the undergrowth. The purpose of this study is to identify geological structures to predict geothermal prospect areas by integrating remote sensing data and TOPEX Gravity Satellite Data. The remote sensing data used in this study is Landsat 8. This data is used to analyze Land Surface Temperature (LST) from a single thermal infrared band, surface emissivity based on Normalization Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from the study area and determine structure delineation. Gravity Satellite Data is used to map gravity anomalies in the volcanic complex of Mount Dempo. Gravity data processing produces a high anomaly zone in the northern part of the study area and is predicted as a prospect area because it is assumed to be related to the plutonic body. High density contrast indicates that there is an error in that area. In line with the error, there are several hot springs because the error serves as a pathway for geothermal fluid to rise to the surface. The study believes that with all the facts stated above, the spots which are located in Tanjung Sakti, Mount Dempo district are very prospective to be developed as a geotourism complex, in which could also increase the welfare of the local citizens.

Crop-type identification is very important in agricultural regions. Most researchers in this area have focused on exploring the ability of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) sensors to identify crops. This paper uses multi-source (Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat-8) and multi-temporal data to identify crop types. The change detection method was used to analyze spectral and indices information in time series. Significant differences in crop growth status during the growing season were found. Then, three obviously differentiated time features were extracted. Three advanced machine learning algorithms (Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network, and Random Forest, RF) were used to identify the crop types. The results showed that the detection of (Vertical-vertical) VV, (Vertical-horizontal) VH, and Cross Ratio (CR) changes was effective for identifying land cover. Moreover, the red-edge changes were obviously different according to crop growth periods. Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 showed different normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) changes also. By using single remote sensing data to classify crops, Sentinel-2 produced the highest overall accuracy (0.91) and Kappa coefficient (0.89). The combination of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and Landsat-8 data provided the best overall accuracy (0.93) and Kappa coefficient (0.91). The RF method had the best performance in terms of identity classification. In addition, the indices feature dominated the classification results. The combination of phenological period information with multi-source remote sensing data can be used to explore a crop area and its status in the growing season. The results of crop classification can be used to analyze the density and distribution of crops. This study can also allow to determine crop growth status, improve crop yield estimation accuracy, and provide a basis for crop management.

Land use/land cover (LULC) change has been confirmed that have a significant impact on climate through various pathways that modulate land surface temperature (LST) and precipitation. However, there are no studies illustrated this link in the Saïss plain using remote sensing data. Thus, the aim of this study is to monitor the LST relationship between LULC and vegetation index change in the Saïss plain using GIS and Remote Sensing Data. We used 18 Landsat images to study the annual and interannual variation of LST with LULC (1988, 1999, 2009 and 2019). To highlight the effect of biomass on LST distribution, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was calculated, which is a very good indicator of biomass. The mapping results showed an increase in the arboriculture and urbanized areas to detriment of arable lands and rangelands. Based on statistical analyzes, the LST varies during the phases of plant growth in all seasons and that it is diversified due to the positional influence of LULC type. The variation of land surface temperature with NDVI shows a negative correlation. This explains the increase in the surface temperature in rangelands and arable land while it decreases in irrigated crops and arboriculture.

Rapidly and effectively assessing environmental degradation is essential for promoting regional sustainable development in the transnational area of Changbai Mountain (TACM). However, comprehensively understanding environmental degradation in the TACM is still inadequate. In this study, we developed an environmental degradation index (EDI) by using multiple remote sensing data, including enhanced vegetation index (EVI), gross primary productivity (GPP), land surface temperature (LST), and MODIS surface reflectance products. We then evaluated its performance comparing with the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI), and assessed the environmental degradation across the whole TACM, in the subregions of China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), and Russia during 2000-2019. The results indicated that the EDI had the advantages of simplicity and rapidity, which can assess the environmental degradation in the TACM across long-time scales and large spatial extent. The TACM experienced a downward trend of environmental changes from 2000 to 2019. Degraded environment areas (49,329.50 km2) accounted for 30.09% of the entire TACM. The largest area of the degraded environment was on the DPRK’s side (i.e., 25,395.00 km2), which was 5.6 times larger than that on the Russian side and 1.3 times larger than that on the Chinese side. Hotspot areas that experienced significant environmental degradation just covered 17.69% of the land area of the TACM, the area of environmental degradation in them accounted for 33.89% of the total degraded environment across the whole TACM. We suggest that international cooperation policies and measures ought to be enacted to promote regional sustainable development.

This paper discusses the possibilities of using Landsat 8 remote sensing data for assessing the temperature conditions of aquatic landscapes when studying the abundance and density of gulls. The study of the ornithological situation was carried out on the territory of the Perm international airport of the Perm Region, where the black-headed gull is an unfavorable factor in the safety of passenger aircraft flights. Within the boundaries of the region, 5 reservoirs were identified. A method for calculating the surface temperature from a multispectral satellite image of the Landsat 8 series is described in detail with the presentation of primary data sources, atmospheric parameters and obtaining raster coverage with a resolution of 30 meters per pixel. The tool used for the calculation is the Land Surface Temperature module of the QGIS software. The paper presents maps of temperature within the area of conducted ornithological surveys and the density of gulls. The densities of birds for individual bodies of water are calculated using the Spatial Analyst module of the ArcGIS program with the kernel density tool. According to the research results, a close correlation was established between the attractiveness of reservoirs for gulls and water temperature. The correlation coefficients were 0,83 and 0,71, respectively, with the abundance and density of gulls.
