Technology Development in Support of Hyperspectral Infrared Atmospheric Sounding in a CubeSat

Hyperspectral infrared sounding in a CubeSat will provide a new dimension to the current suite of IR sounders by allowing measurements at multiple times of day and enabling formation flying of IR sounders for new data products such as Atmospheric Motion Vector (AMV) winds. This paper focuses on technology development during the CubeSat Infrared Atmospheric Sounder (CIRAS) project sponsored by the NASA Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO), and coincident studies by the NOAA Office of Projects, Planning, and Analysis (OPPA). The CIRAS approach incorporates key new instrument technologies developed at JPL’s Microdevices Lab (MDL) including a 2D array of High Operating Temperature Barrier Infrared Detector (HOT-BIRD) material, selected for its high uniformity, low cost, low noise and higher operating temperatures than traditional materials. The second key technology is an MWIR Grating Spectrometer (MGS) designed by Ball Aerospace with a JPL MDL slit and immersion grating to provide hyperspectral infrared imaging in a CubeSat volume. The third key technology is a blackbody calibration target fabricated with MDL’s black silicon to have very high emissivity in a flat plate construction. JPL has completed design and breadboard of the mechanical, electronic and thermal subsystems for CIRAS payload including a HOT-BIRD FPA, with filters in a dewar and a breadboard of the electronics and scan mirror assembly. Blue Canyon Technologies, developer of the CIRAS 6U CubeSat, completed the Final Design Review for the spacecraft.

Investigating the Utility of Hyperspectral Sounders in the 9.6 μm Band to Improve Ozone Analyses

Hyperspectral sounder brightness temperatures assimilated in the Global Earth Observing System Atmospheric Data Assimilation System (GEOS-ADAS) were previously limited to assimilating temperature and moisture. The ozone-sensitive 9.6 𝜇 m region is sensed by several hyperspectral sounders including AIRS (Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder), IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer), and CrIS (Cross-track Infrared Sounder). Direct assimilation of brightness temperatures in the 9.6 𝜇 m region have been operational at ECMWF for several years. With this study, similar improvements using the GEOS-ADAS are presented. Channels were selected from available operational subsets evaluating information content and minimizing inter-channel correlation. Additionally, information such as channel selections made by other studies, and vertical sensitivities of ozone and temperature were considered. The analyses produced show improvements verified against ozonesondes taken from SHADOZ (Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozonesondes) and WOUDC (World Ozone and Ultraviolet Data Center). This work will be added to the GEOS-ADAS and will provide an improved source of ozone data in NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office products.

Onboard Hyperspectral Image Classification via Transfer Learning for Communication-Limited Spacecraft

Employing deep-learning and artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques onboard spacecraft can dramatically improve priority data selection to ensure more effective use of the available downlink. However, deployment of effective deep-learning models requires significant training on the ground, which may not be feasible, due to limited data available in an unexplored environment. Therefore, this research explores building robust classification models for onboard data processing where training data is highly limited using transfer-learning techniques. In this paper, we focus on the use case of hyperspectral imaging for remote sensing, a domain where the high dimensionality of the data from the sensor can rapidly saturate the downlink bandwidth. With this bottleneck, there is an impending need to autonomously and robustly classify data onboard to optimize downlink of high-impact measurements, thus maximizing the scientific utility per bit transmitted to the ground. This paper examines the use of deep neural networks onboard for hyperspectral image classification in a communication-limited scenario to analyze how the models perform with limited training data. The use of transfer learning can ameliorate the issue of poor generalization by transferring features learned from training on a large source dataset for one classification task to the target classification task with limited training data. For two deep-learning models from literature, we compare the accuracy of the models trained using transfer learning to models trained from scratch using a random weight initialization with varying amounts of training data. We demonstrate the feasibility and performance of running inference of the deep-learning models on representative flight-like hardware.

Hyperspectral Sounder Products: SiFSAP and ClimFiSP

Infrared hyperspectral sounders have demonstrated to provide very high value information for a range of weather and climate applications. Traditional retrieval algorithms of hyperspectral sounders use the ‘cloud clearing’ methodology in the retrieval process due to the lack of means to account for cloud scattering effect. The corresponding Level-2 data products are therefore limited by two major factors: the degradation of spatial resolution as compared with the native resolution of the instruments and the lack of ‘radiance closure’ that is critically needed for climate trend studies. The single field-of-view (FOV) sounder atmospheric products (SiFSAP) algorithm has been developed to supplement existing operational products. The SiFSAP algorithm uses the principal component based radiative transfer model (PCRTM) that is ultra-fast and has been extensively validated for the cloud scattering simulation capability. The cloud properties are physically retrieved along with profiles of temperature, moisture, and trace gases of interest, surface properties simultaneously by fitting single FOV spectral measurements. Therefore, SiFSAP ensure the radiometric consistency between the retrieved geophysical properties and the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) spectral measurements. This presentation provides a general introduction of SiFSAP and details about the physical retrieval algorithm. Also introduced here is a derivative data product of SiFSAP, the climate fingerprinting Sounder Products (ClimFiSP). ClimFiSP include the space-time averaged properties of key climate variables that are derived from the space-time averaged radiances via the spectral fingerprinting scheme. The spectral fingerprinting method allows a low latency data update on ClimFiSP following any potential calibration update on satellite measurements. ClimFiSP also include the rigorously defined uncertainty characterization for trends or anomalies of climate variables, being critical for the construction of long-term climate data record. Both SiFSAP and ClimFiSP will be available to users through NASA's Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC).

Updates in Developing a Prototype Science Pipeline and Full-Volume, Global Hyperspectral Synthetic Data Sets for NASA’s Earth System Observatory’s Upcoming Surface, Biology and Geology Mission

The Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) mission recently passed mission confirmation review and has entered phase A – design and development. SBG will acquire high resolution solar-reflected spectroscopy and thermal infrared observations at a data rate of ~2.5 TB/day and generate products at ~40 TB/day. Given that the per-day volume is greater than NASA’s total extant airborne hyperspectral data collection, collecting, processing, disseminating, and exploiting the SBG data present new challenges. To meet these challenges, we have developed a prototype science pipeline and a full-volume global hyperspectral synthetic data set to help prepare for SBG’s flight (see poster GC42D-0730). Our science pipeline is based on the science processing technology developed for NASA’s Kepler and TESS planet-hunting missions. The pipeline infrastructure, Ziggy, provides a scalable architecture for robust, repeatable, and replicable science and application products that can be run on a range of systems from a laptop to the cloud or a supercomputer. Ziggy is compliant with NASA Procedural Requirement (NPR) 7150.2C, is at a technical readiness level (TRL) of 7 and has been released to github.com/nasa/ziggy. We integrated Ziggy with EO-1/Hyperion workflows to build a prototype pipeline and ingested the 17-year mission archive that provides globally sampled visible through shortwave infrared spectra that are representative of SBG data types and volumes. We fully implemented the first stage and processed the entire 55 TB Hyperion data set from the raw data (Level 0) to top-of-the-atmosphere radiance (Level 1R). We are currently evaluating the ISOFIT atmospheric correction module to convert the L1R data to surface reflectance (Level 2) before reprocessing the full data set to L2. Crosschecks are being performed with RadCalNet as well as with coincident observations by AVIRIS. We are also investigating modern methods for georectifying the Hyperion scenes. Finally, we describe an analysis of the cost to conduct forward processing and reprocessing campaigns for SBG on HECC with dedicated compute and storage resources using the resurrected Hyperion pipeline as a proxy for full-volume SBG data. The analysis demonstrates that SBG L0 data can be processed to L2 on HECC with full reprocessing campaigns every two years for ~$2.6M over a 7-year lifespan. Moreover, 69% of the system capacity would be available for other activities, possibly enabling future open-source science activities, including algorithm development, L3+ processing, .etc.

Climate Data Record Derived from Hyperspectral Sounders on AQUA, S-NPP and NOAA 20

Climate products are typically derived by performing spatial and temporal averaging of level-2 products. It is a time-consuming process to generate level-2 data products since modern hyperspectral satellite sensors have millions of observations each day with thousands of spectral channels for each observation. Additionally, differences in level-2 retrieval algorithms for different satellite sensors can lead to errors in the climate products. We have developed a Climate Fingerprinting Sounder Product (ClimFiSP), which is derived from spatiotemporally averaged level-1 hyperspectral radiances directly. The ClimFiSP algorithm uses consistent radiative kernels and a robust spectral fingerprinting method. It provides accurate data climate data fusion products from multiple satellite sensors. It eliminates or reduces the errors due to inconsistent L2 algorithms. We have applied this method to both AIRS and CrIS (on SNPP and on NOAA 20) data and generated two decades climate data records for atmospheric temperature, water vapor, cloud, trace gases, and surface skin temperature. The ClimFiSP are being transitioned to NASA data centers for routine generations level-3 products.

Homogenization of Satellite Based Hyperspectral Infrared Sounder Data To Build Long Term Climate Record

Building long term climate record using data from multiple hyperspectral Infrared (IR)sounders requires the homogenization of different data record to ensure the consistency andcontinuity. Such a requirement comes from two perspectives: 1) the need to adjust theoverlapping measurements of different sounders to ensure the radiometric consistency in thespectral radiance domain; 2) the need for a rigorously defined scheme to ensure the radiometricconsistency being transferred to the essential climate variables derived from the radiance record.We develop a solution that uses a spectral fingerprinting scheme to derive anomalies of keyclimate variables from long term spectral radiance data record constructed using both AIRS andCrIS observations aboard AQUA, SNPP and JPSS satellites. The fingerprinting scheme usescommon radiative kernels for all sounder measurements and therefore effectively avoids thealgorithm introduced inconsistency in retrieved geophysical variables. Our approach uses aunified sampling scheme to match AIRS and CrIS observations in both spectral and spatial-temporal domain, facilitating the intercomparison of spectral radiances from different sensors(platforms). The optimized liner inversion scheme allows the direct quantification and thereforethe adjustment for the impact on the derived climate anomalies imposed by potential radiometricinconsistency between the overlapping measurements. Such a scheme also enables the low-latency data processing of long term hyperspectral sounder data records. This paper provides a detailed introduction of the spectral fingerprinting methodology.Also introduced here is the climate fingerprinting Sounder Product (ClimFiSP) developed basedon the fingerprinting methodology. ClimFiSP products include the space-time averagedproperties of key climate variables that are derived from the long-term, space-time averagedradiances from AQUA-AIRS, SNPP-CrIS, and JPSS1-CrIS. ClimFiSP will be available to usersthrough NASA'sGoddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC).

Observtion of Hunga Tonga Volcanic Eruption Using Hyperspectral Infrared Satellite Sensors

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption, with the largest eruption occurred on 15 January 2022, injected unprecedented amounts of water vapor (H 2 O) and SO 2 to the stratosphere. Using the hyperspectral infrared sounder CrIS we present some unique features of the spectral near 9.6 µm and its great potential value for detecting plume or clouds with the tops above tropopause. It is found the existence of two umbrella clouds and the propagation of the upper plume even in 8-9 hour after the eruption. Using a new Single Field-of-view Sounder Atmospheric Products (SiFSAP) from CrIS and ATMS on JPSS-1 that has a high spatial resolution of about 14 km, this study analyzes the impact of Hunga Tonga eruption on the distribution of H 2 O and ozone, particularly the unprecedented ejection of water vapor in the stratosphere. These results demonstrate the value of hyperspectral infrared sounder and single-field-view products for monitoring the volcanic eruption and studying its impact to climate.

Status and Progress of All-Sky Hyperspectral IR Radiance Assimilation in GEOS

The majority of hyperspectral infrared radiance observations that peak in the lower and mid-troposphere have been excluded from the assimilation in the operational GEOS by the cloud detection scheme. The significance and challenges of assimilating these cloud-affected observations have attracted the attention of the research community, encouraged by the progress in utilizing all-sky microwave radiances affected by clouds and precipitation in many data assimilation systems, including GEOS. While the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) has made significant progress on the assimilation of cloud-cleared infrared radiances, this parallel study marks the first effort to directly assimilate cloud-affected hyperspectral infrared radiances in the GEOS. This initial study is focused on CrIS-FSR wa:wqter-vapor channels. The capability of the GEOS model and CRTM in simulating infrared radiances affected by clouds has been evaluated, and the all-sky brightness temperature Jacobians with respect to temperature, specific humidity, and hydrometeors are examined closely in varying cloud conditions. With hydrometeor control variables in the GEOS, several important aspects of all-sky IR radiance assimilation are investigated. The symmetric cloud effects are assessed for their robustness when used as the cloud proxy in observation error modeling that incorporates the inter-channel correlations with error situation dependency on the amount of cloud. The effective radius, bias correction and quality control processes will also be adapted to accommodate modifications necessary for all-sky infrared assimilation before comprehensive four-dimensional ensemble-variational(4dEnVar) experiments are conducted to assess their impacts on the analysis and forecast performance of GEOS.

A Principal Component and Machine Learning Approach to Spatially Gap Fill Hyperspectral Ocean Color Satellite Retrievals

Retrievals of ocean color properties from space are important for monitoring the health of the ocean ecosystem but such retrievals tend to be limited in spatial coverage due to conditions such as clouds, aerosols, and sun glint. Gap filling of ocean color retrievals is typically performed by combining retrievals from multiple satellites or temporally averaging multiple days of retrievals but despite these techniques large gaps still exist posing challenges for near real time monitoring of events like harmful algae blooms. To address these limitations, we propose a spatial gap filling approach using machine learning to learn how to perform an atmospheric correction under challenging retrieval conditions. In this approach a principal component analysis is used to decompose the hyperspectral measurements into spectral features that describe the scattering and absorption of the atmosphere as well as the underlying surface. The coefficients of the principal components are then used to train a neural network to predict ocean color properties derived from a standard ocean color algorithm such as the MODIS atmospheric correction algorithm. This machine learning approach is independent of a priori information and does not rely on any radiative transfer modeling. We apply the approach to two hyperspectral UV/VIS instruments, the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) to show that it can be used to estimate ocean color properties such as chlorophyll, remote sensing reflectance, and fluorescence line height. This method could be used as a gap-filling technique for the future Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) which will be onboard NASA's Plankton, Aerosol Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) ocean color satellite to provide additional information for monitoring the health of our global oceans. Additionally, it could be applied to the geostationary satellite Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) to better understand diurnal variability in ocean ecology.

Pre-Launch Characterization of the Hyperspectral Ocean Color Instrument on NASA’s Pace Mission

Launched in February 2024, the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, and ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission represents NASA’s next investment in ocean biology, clouds, and aerosol data records. A key feature of PACE is the inclusion of an advanced satellite radiometer known as the Ocean Color Instrument (OCI), a global mapping radiometer that combines multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing. Like its predecessors, OCI provides two day global coverage of top-of-atmosphere radiances. Unlike its predecessors, OCI covers a spectral range from 340 nm to 2260 nm. Below 900 nm, OCI provides hyperspectral radiances sampled every 2.5 nm or 1.25nm, with a bandwidth of 5 nm for each channel. Its spatial resolution is about 1.2km. The high radiometric accuracy of OCI was made possible by a thorough and extensive prelaunch characterization campaign, conducted at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. This presentation describes the prelaunch radiometric characterization (approach and results) of OCI, such as e.g. the linearity correction, signal to noise ratio, polarization, IFOV, relative spectral response, radiometric gain, temperature sensitivity, optical crosstalk, and response versus scan angle.

Soil Salinity Level Assessment and Prediction Integrating UAV-borne Hyperspectral Imaging and Machine Learning Algorithms to Combat Desertification

In response to the ongoing global food crisis, the United Nations has identified “Zero Hunger” as one of its Sustainable Development Goals. A central contributor to the crisis is the process in which agricultural lands go through desertification. Research has shown a direct correlation between soil salinity and desertification - increased salinity levels indicate a higher risk for desertification. Furthermore, researchers have explored various techniques to map soil salinity, but these methods are oftentimes inefficient and don’t address future salinity predictions. To improve desertification monitoring, soil salinity can be observed via hyperspectral imaging on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to predict the risk of agricultural desertification using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. A significant gap exists in past research that applies ML and imaging techniques to soil salinity: convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and regression models are rarely leveraged together, despite the efficiency and accuracy of these models. To compensate for this gap, the proposed system leverages the use of these AI and ML models to improve soil assessment and prediction techniques. This approach involves three steps - data collection, image analysis, and future prediction. Using hyperspectral cameras on UAVs to collect the data from the region, a trained CNN model will output estimated soil salinity levels at a specific time. The estimations will then be analyzed by a regression model to assess the accuracy of future soil salinity predictions. The proposed system will identify regions at risk of desertification to help farmers mitigate agricultural loss, in turn helping alleviate the food crisis.

The Impact of All-Sky Hyperspectral Infrared Radiance Assimilation on the Simulation and Forecast of Hurricane Sally in GEOS

Hyperspectral infrared (IR) radiance observations have been one of the major data sources assimilated in the data assimilation system over the last 20 years. However, observations peaking in the lower and mid-troposphere are underutilized in clear-sky radiance data assimilation as the quality control procedure removes a significant portion of cloud-affected observations from the assimilation. To include these cloud-affected observations, one approach is to assimilate them directly under all-sky conditions. The framework for all-sky assimilation of hyperspectral IR radiance observations has been developed in GEOS. The preliminary evaluation of simulated cloud-affected IR observations has been conducted, along with the corresponding sensitivities with respect to all hydrometeors. The symmetric cloud effect has been used as a cloud proxy in the observation error modeling, providing a balanced representation that mitigates the discrepancies between observations and model simulations for IR all-sky assimilation. The observation errors vary for different cloud conditions and have been modeled as cloud amount dependent and inter-channel correlated. Preliminary evaluation of model simulations for IR all-sky assimilation indicates that the simulated brightness temperature tends to have broader structures and lacks small-scale details. Excessive clouds generated by the model are also observed. To address this issue, Hurricane Sally (2020), which formed near the Bahamas, is used as a case study. Several cloud overlap schemes and cloud lookup tables (LUTs), along with other important aspects of all-sky IR radiance assimilation, will be evaluated and tested, aiming to improve the impact on Hurricane Sally's simulation and forecast.

Using Neural Networks to Identify Mixture Components in Hyperspectral Reflectance Data

Neural networks have been employed to identify materials of interest from hyperspectral data (generally imagery) based on their unique spectral signatures. This approach assumes that there is a single material that is standing out from the rest of the spectrum to be identified. However, pixels often contain more than one material, or a material of interest may itself be a mixture of multiple materials. Neural networks are only as good as the data used to train them, and it takes a great deal of work in the laboratory to identify, make, and measure all potential mixtures of interest. Thus, researchers often calculate synthetic spectra using algorithms with varying degrees of fidelity to the physics that govern the interactions between light and multiple materials. In this work, we have (1) adapted a neural network designed to identify mixture components from Raman spectroscopy to work with visible to near‐infrared reflectance data and (2) tested three common mixture algorithms to determine the most accurate and least computationally expensive method to build synthetic training datasets. With our initial test dataset, we have achieved accuracies of > 90% and found that the synthetic training dataset produced using the Hapke mixture model provides the best results.

Batch Active Learning for Multispectral and Hyperspectral Image Segmentation Using Similarity Graphs

Abstract Graph learning, when used as a semi-supervised learning (SSL) method, performs well for classification tasks with a low label rate. We provide a graph-based batch active learning pipeline for pixel/patch neighborhood multi- or hyperspectral image segmentation. Our batch active learning approach selects a collection of unlabeled pixels that satisfy a graph local maximum constraint for the active learning acquisition function that determines the relative importance of each pixel to the classification. This work builds on recent advances in the design of novel active learning acquisition functions (e.g., the Model Change approach in arXiv:2110.07739) while adding important further developments including patch-neighborhood image analysis and batch active learning methods to further increase the accuracy and greatly increase the computational efficiency of these methods. In addition to improvements in the accuracy, our approach can greatly reduce the number of labeled pixels needed to achieve the same level of the accuracy based on randomly selected labeled pixels.

Hyperspectral imaging for real-time waste materials characterization and recovery using endmember extraction and abundance detection

Hyperspectral imaging, combined with advanced spectral unmixing techniques and artificial intelligence, offers a powerful solution for improving material identification and classification. Here, this study evaluates the effectiveness of the pixel purity index and the sequential maximum angle convex cone algorithms in extracting and validating spectral signatures from pure samples of paper components (cellulose and lignin) and plastic (polypropylene). Principal-component analysis showed that both algorithms captured nearly all relevant variance for the tested materials. Spectral signatures were compared using the spectral angle mapper, revealing high similarity in the short-wave infrared region and greater variability in the visible near-infrared range. The methodology was then applied to a disposable coffee cup to detect and quantify mixed materials, accurately estimating material abundance and object area with less than 1% error. This approach enhances material classification, supporting product verification, quality control, and automated sorting for sustainable waste management and resource recovery.

Modeling Global Vegetation Gross Primary Productivity, Transpiration and Hyperspectral Canopy Radiative Transfer Simultaneously Using a Next Generation Land Surface Model—CliMA Land

Recent progress in satellite observations has provided unprecedented opportunities to monitor vegetation activity at global scale. However, a major challenge in fully utilizing remotely sensed data to constrain land surface models (LSMs) lies in inconsistencies between simulated and observed quantities. For example, gross primary productivity (GPP) and transpiration (T) that traditional LSMs simulate are not directly measurable from space, although they can be inferred from spaceborne observations using assumptions that are inconsistent with those LSMs. In comparison, canopy reflectance and fluorescence spectra that satellites can detect are not modeled by traditional LSMs. To bridge these quantities, we presented an overview of the next generation land model developed within the Climate Modeling Alliance (CliMA), and simulated global GPP, T, and hyperspectral canopy radiative transfer (RT; 400–2,500 nm for reflectance, 640–850 nm for fluorescence) at hourly time step and 1° spatial resolution using CliMA Land. CliMA Land predicts vegetation indices and outgoing radiances, including solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), and near infrared reflectance of vegetation (NIRv) for any given sun-sensor geometry. The spatial patterns of modeled GPP, T, SIF, NDVI, EVI, and NIRv correlate significantly with existing data-driven products (mean R 2 = 0.777 for 9 products). CliMA Land would be also useful in high temporal resolution simulations, for example, providing insights into when GPP, SIF, and NIRv diverge.
