- 通过动态损失平衡机制融合雷达测厚与BedMachine数据
- 在乌佩纳维克冰川区重建精度显著优于传统方法
- 适合冰川建模、气候预测研究者使用
了解格陵兰冰盖下的地形对预测未来冰量流失及其对海平面上升的贡献至关重要。然而,观测数据复杂且稀疏,尤其是冰盖下方床面地形信息不足,极大增加了模型预测的不确定性。传统方法依赖机载冰穿透雷达直接测量飞机正下方的冰厚,导致飞行航线间存在数十公里的数据空白。本研究提出一种名为DeepTopoNet的深度学习框架,通过创新的动态损失平衡机制,整合雷达获取的冰厚观测数据与BedMachine Greenland数据。BedMachine是当前广泛使用的高分辨率床面高程估计数据集,结合质量守恒原理和冰厚测量结果生成。所提出的损失函数可自适应调整雷达数据与BedMachine数据的权重,在雷达覆盖稀疏区域保持鲁棒性的同时,充分利用BedMachine的高空间分辨率优势。模型引入基于梯度和趋势面特征以提升性能,并采用专为亚网格尺度预测设计的卷积神经网络结构。在乌佩纳维克冰川(Upernavik Isstrøm)区域的系统测试中,该方法实现了高精度的冰下地形重建,优于基准方法。研究表明,深度学习在填补观测空白方面具有潜力,可提供一种可扩展、高效的冰下地形推断解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding Greenland's subglacial topography is critical for projecting the future mass loss of the ice sheet and its contribution to global sea-level rise. However, the complex and sparse nature of observational data, particularly information about the bed topography under the ice sheet, significantly increases the uncertainty in model projections. Bed topography is traditionally measured by airborne ice-penetrating radar that measures the ice thickness directly underneath the aircraft, leaving data gap of tens of kilometers in between flight lines. This study introduces a deep learning framework, which we call as DeepTopoNet, that integrates radar-derived ice thickness observations and BedMachine Greenland data through a novel dynamic loss-balancing mechanism. Among all efforts to reconstruct bed topography, BedMachine has emerged as one of the most widely used datasets, combining mass conservation principles and ice thickness measurements to generate high-resolution bed elevation estimates. The proposed loss function adaptively adjusts the weighting between radar and BedMachine data, ensuring robustness in areas with limited radar coverage while leveraging the high spatial resolution of BedMachine predictions i.e. bed estimates. Our approach incorporates gradient-based and trend surface features to enhance model performance and utilizes a CNN architecture designed for subgrid-scale predictions. By systematically testing on the Upernavik Isstrøm) region, the model achieves high accuracy, outperforming baseline methods in reconstructing subglacial terrain. This work demonstrates the potential of deep learning in bridging observational gaps, providing a scalable and efficient solution to inferring subglacial topography.
