Pléiades Tri-Stereo Data for Glacier Investigations—Examples from the European Alps and the Khumbu Himal
摘要： In this study, we use Pléiades tri-stereo data to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) from the Pléiades images using a workflow employing semi-global matching (SGM). We examine the DEM accuracy in complex mountain glaciated terrain by comparing the new DEMs with an independent high-quality DEM based on airborne laser scanning (ALS) data for a study area in the Austrian Alps, and with ground control points for a study area in the Khumbu Himal of Nepal. The DEMs derived using the SGM algorithm compare well to the independent high-quality ALS DEM, and the workflow produces models of sufficient quality to resolve ground control points, which are based on Pléiades imagery that are of sufficient quality to perform high spatio-temporal resolution assessments of remote areas for which no field data is available. The relative accuracy is sufficient to investigate glacier surface elevation changes below one meter, and can therefore be applied over relatively short periods of time, such as those required for annual and seasonal assessments of change. The annual geodetic mass balance for the Alpine case derived from our DEM compares well to the glaciological mass balance, and multitemporal DEM analysis is used to resolve the seasonal changes of five glaciers in the Khumbu Himal, revealing that glaciological processes such as accumulation, ablation, and glacier movement mainly take place during the summer season, with the winter season being largely inactive in the year sampled.

Télédétection satellitaire des surfaces enneigées et englacées
摘要： This article presents an overview of recent advances in remote sensing applied to the study of snow and glacierized areas, in which the French scientific community has been involved. Whatever the type of satellite data, optical, radar, lidar or gravimetric, these works on seasonal or perennial snow cover, mountain glaciers, ice caps, sea ice, and lake or river ice, aim at documenting both the physical characteristics of these objects and their spatial and temporal variability at local, regional or global scales.

摘要： Monitoring of mountain glaciers using SAR interferometry is challenging, yet it is necessary to improve our understanding of glacier dynamics in a changing climate, by estimating their precise movements. Although there are significant difficulties of spatial and temporal decorrelation for observing mountain glaciers, multiple aperture interferometry (MAI) can be a promising solution compared to other existing methods. In this study, we will present temporal variations of Himalayan glaciers’ behavior focusing on the velocity estimation and glacier outline mapping. These results will be provided for estimating the rate of glacier melt, and in turn play an important role in better understanding the hydrology and climate change in the Himalayan region.

Lidar snow cover studies on glaciers in the ?tztal Alps (Austria): comparison with snow depths calculated from GPR measurements
摘要： The storage of water within the seasonal snow cover is a substantial source of runoff in high mountain catchments. Information about the spatial distribution of snow accumulation is necessary for calibration and validation of hydro-meteorological models. Generally, only a small number of precipitation measurements deliver precipitation input for modelling in mountain areas. The spatial interpolation and extrapolation of measurements of precipitation is still difficult. Multi-temporal application of lidar techniques from aircraft, so-called airborne laser scanning (ALS), provides surface elevations changes even in inaccessible terrain. These ALS surface elevation changes can be used to derive changes in snow depths of the mountain snow cover for seasonal or subseasonal time periods. However, since glacier surfaces are not static over time, ablation, densification of snow, densification of firn and ice flow contribute to surface elevation changes. ALS-derived surface elevation changes were compared to snow depths derived from 35.4 km of ground penetrating radar (GPR) profiles on four glaciers. With this combination of two different data acquisitions, it is possible to evaluate the effect of the summation of these processes on ALS-derived snow depth maps in the high alpine region of the ?tztal Alps (Austria). A Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper image was used to distinguish between snow covered area and bare ice areas of the glaciers at the end of the ablation season. In typical accumulation areas, ALS surface elevation changes differ from snow depths calculated from GPR measurements by ?0.4 m on average with a mean standard deviation of 0.34 m. Differences between ALS surface elevation changes and GPR derived snow depths are small along the profiles conducted in areas of bare ice. In these areas, the mean absolute difference of ALS surface elevation changes and GPR snow depths is 0.004 m with a standard deviation of 0.27 m. This study presents a systematic approach to analyze deviations from ALS generated snow depth maps to ground truth measurements on four different glaciers. We could show that ALS can be an important and reliable data source for the spatial distribution of snow depths for most parts of the here investigated glaciers. However, within accumulation areas, just utilizing ALS data may lead to systematic underestimation of total snow depth distribution.
