Melentyev V.V. , Matelenok I.V. Technique for landscape belts discrimination in Siberian natural zones based on satellite microwave radiometry // Forest Science (Lesovedenie). 2014. No 5. С.54-64. A new technique for discrimination of Siberian landscapes using satellite microwave radiometry data is developed. It is based on two algorithms of automatized classification and two sets of informative features - indicators of seasonal and inter-annual microwave signatures variability. The technique is tested over the territories of Western Siberia along the 70°E transect (tundra, forest tundra, taiga, deciduous forest, forest steppe and steppe landscape zones) based on 2003-2011 AMSR-E microwave radiometer imagery archive. Efficiency of the technique is evaluated by comparison of the obtained satellite maps with conventional land system maps. Land system, brightness temperature, microwave radiometry, microwave signatures, landscape belts discrimination.. |
