用卫星数据提升全球雪深地图精度,实现10米级月度雪深图。

Retrieving snow depth distribution by downscaling ERA5 Reanalysis with ICESat-2 laser altimetry

  • 融合ICESat-2激光测高与ERA5再分析数据,建立雪深反演模型。
  • 在挪威南部验证,雪深预测决定系数达0.74至0.88。
  • 适用于无观测区域,助力水文与冻土模拟研究。

由于遥远地区空间和时间数据有限,估算季节性积雪变化(尤其是雪深)面临重大挑战。本研究利用空间和时间都稀疏的ICESat-2卫星激光测高雪深数据,结合气候再分析数据,提出一种降尺度-校准方案,生成10米分辨率的月度格网雪深图。通过将ICESat-2沿轨地表高程测量值与数字高程模型对比,获取各点雪深。为高效将稀疏观测转化为雪深图,构建回归模型,建立反演雪深与对应ERA5 Land雪深之间的关系(称作亚网格变异性),并将其应用于降尺度每月ERA5 Land雪深数据。该方法可生成自1950年以来全时段的月度雪深时序图。在挪威南部哈当厄高原地区,采用机载激光扫描(ALS)数据在100米×500米尺度进行验证,结果表明校准后雪深预测决定系数(R²)为0.74至0.88。该方法依赖全球可用数据,适用于林线以上的其他雪区。虽需区域校准,但具备为无数据地区生成雪深图的能力,并可扩展现有雪深调查的时间跨度与覆盖范围,为水文、生态或冻土建模提供关键输入。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Estimating the variability of seasonal snow cover, in particular snow depth in remote areas, poses significant challenges due to limited spatial and temporal data availability. This study uses snow depth measurements from the ICESat-2 satellite laser altimeter, which are sparse in both space and time, and incorporates them with climate reanalysis data into a downscaling-calibration scheme to produce monthly gridded snow depth maps at microscale (10 m). Snow surface elevation measurements from ICESat-2 along profiles are compared to a digital elevation model to determine snow depth at each point. To efficiently turn sparse measurements into snow depth maps, a regression model is fitted to establish a relationship between the retrieved snow depth and the corresponding ERA5 Land snow depth. This relationship, referred to as subgrid variability, is then applied to downscale the monthly ERA5 Land snow depth data. The method can provide timeseries of monthly snow depth maps for the entire ERA5 time range (since 1950). The validation of downscaled snow depth data was performed at an intermediate scale (100 m x 500 m) using datasets from airborne laser scanning (ALS) in the Hardangervidda region of southern Norway. Results show that snow depth prediction achieved R2 values ranging from 0.74 to 0.88 (post-calibration). The method relies on globally available data and is applicable to other snow regions above the treeline. Though requiring area-specific calibration, our approach has the potential to provide snow depth maps in areas where no such data exist and can be used to extrapolate existing snow surveys in time and over larger areas. With this, it can offer valuable input data for hydrological, ecological or permafrost modeling tasks.
