Abstract

The early stage of the water stressed forest shows the higher temperature before the spectral reflectance change. To detect the water stressed forest, the satellite detected surface temperature is utilized. The day and night surface temperature difference is the key factor of the detection, in the case of non-stressed forest the daytime surface temperature suppress the latent heat increase and the nighttime surface temperature is almost same as the air temperature at the surface, so that the water stress makes the daytime temperature increases. The day and night surface temperature difference is primary affected by the forest water stress level. To remove the another effect to the temperature difference such as the nighttime low air temperature in autumn, the modified day and night surface temperature difference is defined for the forest water stress detection index. Using the day night surface temperature product from MODIS and the latent heat flux dataset acquired at some sites of the AMERIFLUX, The water stressed forest is identified using the proposed index. Also the numerical simulation for the sensitivity analysis of the proposed index is made and the effectiveness of the index is clarified.
