Adapting an Existing Empirical Algorithm for Microwave Land Surface Temperature Retrieval in China for AMSR2 Data
2023
Overview
To extend the time span of the microwave (MW) land surface temperature (LST) dataset in China, this study proposed an optimized empirical algorithm for Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) LST retrieval based on the algorithm for its predecessor, the AMSR-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). A modified comprehensive classification system of environmental variables (CCSEV) that considered the impact of landform, landcover, atmospheric conditions, and solar radiation on the variation of LST was first constructed, and the LST for each class in the CCSEV was then retrieved through stepwise regression using the brightness temperature in different AMSR2 channels. The results indicate that the annual RMSE of the AMSR2 LST, compared to the reference Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LST from 2012 to 2020, varies between 3.26 K and 3.61 K in the daytime and 2.76 K and 2.96 K in the nighttime, respectively. The RMSE of the AMSR2 LST compared to the field measurements at the sites of the Beidahe river basin and Naqu regions varies between 4.16 K and 5.26 K in the daytime and 2.4 K and 5.17 K in the nighttime. The accuracy is relatively low in the warmer months and daytime due to the stronger solar radiation, and is also relatively low in western China due to the dominate highly fluctuating topography and barren and arid landcover. Generally, the accuracy of the AMSR2 LST is comparable with that of the AMSR-E LST retrieved by the predecessor algorithm, which facilitates coherent long-term applications using AMSR series LST datasets.
