    The high precision calculation of radiation is one of the important factors guaranteeing the precision of CO2 retrievals from satellite shortwave infrared measurements.Generally speaking,scattering radiation of earth atmosphere is polarized.So the accuracy of traditional scalar radiative transfer model cannot satisfy our needs about retrieval.Specially,aimed at the instruments tracking principal plane on the American OCO-2(Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2) or Chinese TanSat(Global Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Scientific Satellite),vector radiative transfer model is more necessary.In target mode of special carbon satellite,the viewing angle of satellite changes so large that the plane-parallel hypothesis is not suitable.Thus we need pseudo-spherical approximation to improve the accuracy.In this article,we summarize radiative transfer models using for atmospheric CO2 retrieval from shortwave infrared measurements.Firstly,the development situation of different kinds of radiative transfer models based on different numerical methods of radiative transfer equation is presented.Aimed at the requirement of CO2 retrieval about weighting function,linearized models can provide analytic weighting function,which are more stable and efficient.Then,we summarize some kinds of linearized vector radiative transfer models briefly.Moreover,the differences and similarities of several common radiative transfer models in CO2 retrieval are analyzed and compared.At last,the requirements of high precision CO2 retrievals about the speed of models and the necessity using acceleration to optimize calculation are discussed.The research about methods of accelerating radiative transfer computation is summerized at the end of the paper.

    Land surface albedo,defined as the fraction of incident solar radiation reflected in all directions by the land surface,is one of the most important parameters controlling the climate change.Albedo directly determines the amount of solar energy absorbed by the ground,and hence,the amount of energy is available for heating the ground and lower atmosphere and evaporating water.The study on albedo changes through space and time is crucial to understand the global radiation balance and its influence on climate and vegetation dynamics.In this study,the intra\|daily,daily,monthly and seasonal variation of land surface albedo in the North Tibetan Plateau is analyzed using the ground observation data and then compared with MODIS derived albedo using narrowband to broadband conversion algorithms of land surface albedo developed by Liang.The results show that the intra\|daily changes of albedo in the North Tibetan Plateau is obvious,which indicated that it is high at mooring and afternoon with a larger range of changes,and low at noontime with a smaller range of changes ,which is characterized by “U” type.There is a statistically significant negative relationship between the observing albedo and the Solar Elevation Angle (SEA) with a correlation coefficient of -0.91,which implys SEA is main factor affecting seasonal changes of albedo.The albedo is deceasing with increase in SEA from morning to noontime,and the lowest value of albedo occurs in 14:00 to 15:00,then,albedo is increasing with decrease in SEA from noontime to afternoon.The highest albedo occurs at 8:00 of the morning in summer and at 18:00 of afternoon in other seasons.At seasonally,the highest albedo is in winter with 0.28,followed by spring and fall with 0.23,and the lowest averaged albedo is 0.19 in summer.The albeo derived from MODIS is very consistent with from ground observations at around 12:00 MODIS crossing time.However,at about 13:00 MODIS crossing time,MODIS derived albedo is systematically lower than observation data with lower than 14.29% on average.Compared to the ground observation data,the inter\|daily albedo from MODIS is more fluctuant and less smooth.

    Forest structure parameters are very important inputs for ecological and hydrological models.The spatial distribution of these parameters is urgently needed by distributed eco-hydrological models.It is a great success in obtaining vegetation parameters using airborne LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging),which has the powerful detection ability of forest spatial structure.This paper selected Tianlaochi catchment of the upper reaches of Heihe River as the study area and forests as study object in the study area.First,we derived a vegetation classification map by high resolution images data(Geoeye-1)in the study area.And then,forest structural parameters(i.e.,canopy height,crown width,diameter at breast height(DBH),leaf area index(LAI))were retrieved based on airborne LiDAR data.Finally,the retrieved results were validated by field investigation.The results show that it is a good way to estimate the forest structural parameters using LiDAR data.There were good correlations between the measured value and estimated value(i.e.,canopy height,crown width,and LAI).Correlation coefficients(R2)were 0.98,0.84,and 0.73,respectively.In addition,we analyzed the variation of average canopy height and LAI with the increase of elevation.This study could draw the conclusion that airborne LiDAR technology is better way to retrieve forest structural parameters than passive remote sensing,but it still needs to be improved.The retrieved parameters will provide inputs for the distributed eco\|hydrological model built in the subsequent research.

    Vegetation coverage is not only the basic data to describe the regional ecosystem,but the important surface parameter in many global and regional land surfaces process,ecological and hydrological models.For Ejina Oasis,the desert riparian forest vegetation coverage can not be accurately described by remote sensing images mainly based on LandSat 30 m resolution.However,the characteristics of the high resolution imagery are the clear outlines of target objects,the abundant spatial detail information and so on,which contribute to classify the fragmental and strongly heterogeneous vegetation coverage information based on arid background.This study mainly extracts primary vegetation cover types,including farmland,Populus euphratica,Tamarix chinensis,grassland,barren\|land and so on,from QuickBird imagery in Ejina Oasis through using object\|oriented classification method.The overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient of object\|oriented classification result are 84.71% and 0.7986 respectively.This study shows,the classification results are better and able to meet the accuracy requirements through the use of object\|oriented classification method to discriminate vegetation cover information from the high resolution images.

    To solve the problem of geometric distortion caused by oblique aerial image,we presented an oblique image correction method based on the spatial transformation.First,the size of the new image and the new image coordinate system of the original image could be obtained according of the mathematical model of coordinate transformation and the sampling frequency of the new image,and then,collections of points were built in the new image coordinate system.Eventually,the inversion transformation model was derived and linear equations about the image coordinate of the original image were established.After solving the equations and transforming the solution into pixels,the digital values of the points were obtained with the nearest neighbour interpolation.Matlab was used in the study,it showed that the results of oblique image correction was good,and processing time was shorter than the traditional method.The method could be used to deal with the oblique image registering,mosaic and modeling.

    Sparse representation using the trained dictionary can reflect the inherent characteristics and structure of signals.A novel fusion method based on the à trous wavelet transform and joint sparse representation for multi\|spectral image and panchromatic image is proposed,aiming to solve the spectral distortion.Firstly,the IHS transform is applied to multi\|spectral image.Then,the panchromatic image and the intensity components of multi\|spectral image are decomposed by à trous wavelet transform.The trained dictionary is learned from their low components.By exploiting joint sparse representation model on their low frequency components,common component and innovation component can be obtained.The finally result is obtained by fusing the sparse coefficients.Experimental results on urban area and mountainous area from IKONOS satellite indicate that the fused image has higher spatial resolution and great spectral fidelity.And the proposed method outperforms traditional methods by visual analysis and quantitative evaluation.
