AMSR Joint Science Team Meeting 4-5 September 2013, Oxnard, CA OVERVIEW The global satellite microwave record from the AMSR sensors has strong utility for ecosystem studies, including retrievals of vegetation optical depth, surface temperature & moisture, landscape freeze/thaw dynamics, open water inundation & Atm. water vapor changes. Synergistic satellite observations include AMSR-E ( ), AMSR2 (from Jun-2012) & similar sensor data (e.g. WindSat) Calibration & extension of the global land parameter record is desirable for Ecological studies & applications, including land-atmosphere carbon, water, and energy fluxes; In this study, recalibration of the University of Montana Global Land algorithms has been carried out using reprocessed (V7) AMSR-E & L1R AMSR2 swath data.

Documenting Alaska Boreal Forest Wildfire Recovery using AMSR-E VOD record VOD (10.7 GHz) recovery from Large Boreal Fires in 2004 Source: Jones, M.O. et al., Global Change Biology. VOD results show 3-7 year post fire recovery determined by burn severity; VOD recovery proportional to fire severity indicated by relative tree cover loss (MOD44B)

Comparing Land Surface Phenology between AMSR-E Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) and GPS Normalized Microwave Reflectance Index (NMRI) network VOD and NMRI are responsive to changes in vegetation water content Significant correlations (p<0.05) were found at 276 of 305 sites (90.5%). VOD and NMRI Start of Season metrics (r 2 =0.73, P<0.001, RMSE=36.8 days) were also in agreement. VOD and NMRI Correspondence Jones MO, Kimball JS, et al.

AMSR Joint Science Team Meeting 4-5 September 2013, Oxnard, CA Summary Initial re-calibration of UMT Global Land Parameter algorithms using reprocessed (V7) AMSR-E & AMSR2 L1R 1 swath T b data records. Both UMT AMSR-E product versions are generally well correlated, but large differences occur in some areas. –Water vapor retrievals highly correlated except over dense vegetation; V7 results show higher water vapor over rainforest; – Temperature retrievals show larger differences for dense vegetation areas and southern- hemisphere; –VOD retrievals well correlated, though V7 results show higher VOD levels for dense vegetation; –Soil moisture retrievals show lower correspondence and need further evaluation. Algorithm calibration also carried out using AMSR2 data. Results similar to AMSR-E, but AMSR2 temperature and water vapor accuracy is slightly lower. Continuing calibration & extension of UMT record planned in support of several global ecosystem studies. 1 AMSR-E V7 reprocessed T b record provided by Remote Sensing Systems; AMSR2 L1R data are from JAXA
