Remote sensing over Arctic's
Hostile environment, except for some birds (and satellites)
Satellite constellations intersect at the poles, are there emerging advantages?
Sun-synchronous (polar-orbiting) vs. sun-asynchronous (geo-stationary) satellite platforms, how do we use both to our advantage?
What challenges we face when characterizing arctic environment using space born sensors?

Simultaneous Nadir Overpass (SNO)
pairs of POES satellites pass their orbital intersections within a few seconds in the polar regions
Occurs regularly in the +/- 70 to 80 latitude

Inter-calibration

For this area with 205 samples, the difference between MODIS and AVHRR is about 13%, at 99% confidence level with uncertainty +/-0.4%. Spectral differences is not the main contributor to this discrepancy, according to radiative transfer calculations. Good example of calibration traceability issue.

Collar data and satellite observations
GPS Telemetry Collars provide (semi) continues information on a bird’s location, irrespective of possible overlap with polar-orbiting satellite overpasses
Geo-stationary satellites observe diurnal changes of atmosphere and earth surface due to their sun-asynchronous orbit
At the cost of a lower signal-to-noise ratio because of their increased flying height (approx. 30.000 km instead of ± 800 km from the earth as with i.e. NOAA), but newer sensors provide enhanced radiometric quality

Correcting for angular effects
ITC develops triangulation algorithms to enhance satellite signals at high(er) latitudes:
Three angles affect the signal received by a geo-stationary satellite sensor: 1) the solar zenith angle θ, 2) the satellite zenith angle Φ, and 3) the ‘co-scattering angle’ Ψ, between the direction towards the satellite and the sun as seen from ground. This information, which is unique for every ‘pixel’ and 5-minute satellite image, is used to correct to correct the signal for enhanced product generations (i.e. satellite estimated solar radiation).

The optimal model predicted observed budburst very accurately: r2 = 0.92 and 0.90, and root mean square error = 6.9 days and 7.5 days for a calibration and a validation dataset, respectively. Results predict that the average budburst in northern Europe in 2080-2099 will be 20 days (standard deviation (S.D.) = 3 days), 18 days (S.D. = 4 days) or 12 days (S.D. = 4 days) earlier than in the period 1980-1999, for 3 different climate change scenarios respectively.

Remotely sensed vegetation phenology & GPS collar data of Giant Panda
Summarized phenology of the Fopin biosphere reserve as detected by MODIS NDVI after processing with TIMESAT. RPD (relative phenological development) is a rescaled version of the NDVI (see main text for details). The solid white lines shows the average altitudinal movement of 6 radiotracked giant pandas, thin white lines indicate the standard error of the average. Time slices of RPD during spring (1), summer (2) and autumn (3) with the positions of the radiotracked giant pandas during a 10 day period indicated by black markers.
