使用五年利用新疆北方20个气象站2001-2005年的地面积雪深度和云量资料,研究了:1)评估来自中分辨率成像光谱仪(MODIS)/Terra卫星的8天积雪产品(MOD 10A 2)的准确性,2)通过分离作为雪和陆地的MODIS云遮蔽像素来生成新的积雪时间序列,(3)研究了积雪面积的时间变化以及气温和海拔与积雪面积的相关性。结果表明,在晴空条件下,MOD 10A 2对雪深≥ 4cm的积雪和陆地的制图精度较高(94%和99%),但对片状积雪或薄积雪(<4cm)的制图精度很低(<39%)。大部分零星的积雪被误认为是陆地。MOD 10A 2在12月、1月和2月使用的云掩模的平均精度非常低(19%)。基于每个月的地面观测的雪地比,在这项研究中产生的新的积雪时间序列提供了一个更好的代表性的实际积雪的研究区域。SAE(%)的时间序列表现出类似的模式在六个水文年(2001-2006年),即使积累和融化期不完全一致。SAE的变化与−10 °C至5 °C范围内的空气温度呈负相关。海拔升高一般导致积雪持续时间延长,但在伊犁河流域,海拔超过4km后,海拔对SAE的影响减弱。在研究期间,IRW和整个研究地区的积雪天数要么呈下降趋势,要么无趋势。这一结果与根据有限的实地观察报告的增加趋势不一致。长期持续的中分辨率成像分光仪积雪产品是解决这一困境的关键,因为在现场观测似乎采样不足的区域。
Using five-year (2001–2005) ground-observed snow depth and cloud cover data at 20 climatic stations in Northern Xinjiang, China, this study: 1) evaluates the accuracy of the 8-day snow cover product (MOD10A2) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)/Terra satellite, 2) generates a new snow cover time series by separating the MODIS cloud masked pixels as snow and land, and 3) examines the temporal variability of snow area extent (SAE) and correlations of air temperature and elevation with SAE. Results show that, under clear sky conditions, the MOD10A2 has high accuracies when mapping snow (94%) and land (99%) at snow depth ≥4 cm, but a very low accuracy (<39%) for patchy snow or thin snow depth (<4 cm). Most of the patchy snow is misclassified as land. The mean accuracy of the cloud mask used in MOD10A2 for December, January and February is very low (19%). Based on the ratio of snow to land of ground observations in each month, the new snow cover time series generated in this study provides a better representation of actual snow cover for the study area. The SAE (%) time series exhibits similar patterns during six hydrologic years (2001–2006), even though the accumulation and melt periods do not exactly coincide. The variation of SAE is negatively associated with air temperature over the range of −10 °C to 5 °C. An increase in elevation generally results in longer periods of snow cover, but the influence of elevation on SAE decreases as elevation exceeds 4 km in the Ili River Watershed (IRW). The number of days with snow cover shows either a decreasing trend or no trend in the IRW and the entire study area in the study period. This result is inconsistent with a reported increasing trend based on limited in situ observations. Long-term continuance of the MODIS snow cover product is critical to resolve this dilemma because the in situ observations appear to undersample the region.
