亮温是被动微波遥感的重要基础观测量,是反演地表温度、土壤湿度、雪水当量等关键地表参量的重要输入数据,在气象、气候与环境遥感领域具有重要的科学价值与应用潜力。被动微波传感器AMSR2(Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2)可获得全天候、全球覆盖的亮温数据,但受轨道设计与传感器特性限制,AMSR2亮温数据存在轨道间隙,影响数据的完整性和应用精度。本文在分析轨道间隙时空特征及亮温数据与环境变量广义谱的非线性关系基础上,提出一种时空谱随机森林STSRF(Spatio-Temporal Spectral Random Forest)多维度重建模型。以2020年中国区域AMSR2亮温数据为例,按月份及昼夜独立构建训练和验证数据集;开展模拟实验和真实实验,并评估重建前后数据的降尺度效果。在模拟实验中,STSRF重建亮温具有较高精度,昼、夜场景下均方根误差分别为0.78—2.21 K和0.73—2.35 K),且在高海拔地区整体重建精度优于其他区域;在真实实验中,STSRF重建亮温在空间分布上与AMSR2观测数据高度吻合,无明显重建痕迹。此外,降尺度对比分析表明,与直接降尺度方案相比,基于重建数据的降尺度结果在空间细节保持和数值精度方面更具优势,进一步验证了重建策略的有效性。因此,STSRF方法不仅能有效重建AMSR2亮温轨道间隙数据,还有助于后续降尺度处理,为大范围高分辨率微波遥感应用提供技术支持。
Brightness Temperature (BT) serves as a critical geophysical parameter reflecting the Earth’s surface energy budget and holds substantial significance in meteorological monitoring
climate change studies
and environmental remote sensing. The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) enables global
all-weather acquisition of BT data. However
because of orbital design constraints and sensor-specific characteristics
the AMSR2 BT product suffers from orbital data gaps
which hinder its continuity and limit its effectiveness in quantitative applications. This study aims to develop a robust reconstruction framework to address these data discontinuities and improve the spatiotemporal integrity of AMSR2 BT datasets.
To reconstruct the missing orbital BT data
we propose a novel multidimensional model termed spatiotemporal-spectral random forest (STSRF). The model integrates spatiotemporal patterns with generalized spectral features that characterize the nonlinear relationships between BT and multiple environmental variables. Using the 2020 AMSR2 BT dataset over China as a case study
we separately constructed training and validation datasets on a monthly basis for daytime and nighttime observations. Simulated data masking and real-missing data scenarios were applied to evaluate reconstruction accuracy. Moreover
downscaling experiments were conducted before and after reconstruction to assess the influence of data integrity on spatial detail restoration.
In the simulation experiments
the STSRF model demonstrated high reconstruction accuracy
with root-mean-square errors ranging from 0.78 K to 2.21 K during the day and from 0.73 K to 2.35 K at night. Notably
the model achieved superior performance in high-altitude regions. In real experiments
the spatial distribution of reconstructed BT closely matched original AMSR2 observations
showing no discernible reconstruction artifacts. Downscaling evaluation revealed that the STSRF-based reconstruction significantly enhanced numerical precision and spatial feature retention compared with the direct downscaling applied to incomplete datasets. The enhanced numerical precision and spatial feature retention observed in the downscaling evaluation confirm the added value of gap filling prior to resolution enhancement.
The proposed STSRF model effectively overcomes the limitations of traditional single-feature approaches by incorporating multidimensional information
including temporal dynamics and environmental variability. It provides a reliable strategy for reconstructing AMSR2 BT orbital gaps while enhancing downstream data usability for high-resolution microwave remote sensing applications. The results affirm that spatiotemporal and spectral feature fusion not only improves reconstruction robustness but also supports accurate and complete environmental monitoring over large regions.
