1 Kaukokartoitus ympäristön tilan seurannassa Remote sensing for environmental monitoring Arto Vuorela 1 Contents Traditional applications, governmental activities etc. for environmental monitoring New or existing but possibly unrecognized satellite instruments Open your eyes! Terrestrial and other remote sensing instruments. 2 1

2 Traditional apps SYKE, METLA, FMI & others Chlorophyll a, Sea Surface Temperature, Sea ice service, National Forest Inventory, meteorology, active forest fires (now also with MODIS) or burnt areas, national mapping, timber volume estimation, hydrology EEA, CORINE Land Cover GMES Service Element; portfolio of services Land Cover change, forests, coastal areas, hazards/risks, etc. 3 Forest monitoring (Swe/Fin) Notifications are made before cutting, but not all are felled Monitoring of cutting activities and regeneration Clear cut mapping in large areas with pairwise scenes would be time consuming. Mosaicing significally reduces the work between two mosaics compared to pairwise per scenes. Metadata for each pixel enables labeling each object with the dates between which the cutting was performed. METRIA / A. Davidsson

3 Logging rules violations Exceeding of allowable size (5, 8) standard 50 ha, actual size 57 ha Wrong direction of clearcut (4, 5, 8, 9, 12) Part of area isn't cut (4, 5, 9) Wrong clearcuts adjoinment (4, 5, 8, 9, 12) from Tsentrlesproekt, Moscow. ScanEx Pan change detection: SPOT & New built up 6 3

4 Remote Sensing? Even professionals may say: We don t do remote sensing, but aerial imaging only. (Kaukokartoitusselvitys 2005) Some say: Remote sensing is becoming part of the sensor networks. Then well, what other RS sensors are there in the palette and scale from satellite to microscope? Spaceborne, various airborne, imaging from masts, terrestrial measurements 7 Landsat 5 & 7 status Landsat 5 images received in Italy, up till row 15 (!) in Finland. But USGS seems to downlink them. Battery problems being solved now... In Kiruna, some Landsat 5 images are received in Summer season, quality reasonable. Landsat 7 images not received in Europe, downlinking in USA Landsat 7 Scan Line Corrector is broken. USGS EDC offers corrected products Cheap Mosaic of many images needs cloud free images temporally close US Government has decided Landsat type satellite system to be necessary. Landsat 8 launched in perhaps

( Referring to the decision by HELCOM BSAP TASK FORCE 5/2007, Estonia was requested to submit further information on the development of new innovative and cost effective, integrated surveillance sensors permitting fast and reliable identification of pollutant on the sea surface as well as in the water column, e.g. light detection and ranging technologies (see Minutes of HELCOM BSAP TASK FORCE 5/2007, Annex 5, footnote 16 on page 28).
