Introduction
WarmLakes – Study the long term warming trends of sub-alpine
lakes using temperature derived from satellite data
Leveraging the availability of daily thermal imageries for last 2
decades from multiple sensors aboard satellites
Lake specific validation and model development using field data
Develop daily homogenized Lake Surface Water Temperature
(LSWT) for last 2 decades.
Time series analysis linking the trend with climatic tele - connection
indices like NAO, EA and EMP
Preliminary results

Scope
● Lakes as sentinels of climate
change
● Reported warming at major lakes
resulting in ecological
consequences
● Difficulties in acquiring high
temporal resolution field data from
lakes
● Seasonal thermal variations versus
teleconnection (oscillation patterns)
● Thermal image processing –
temperature measurement from
space
● Availability of daily thermal data
from multiple satellite sensors
● Combining different sensors
different time frames, temporally
and daily
● Available from early 1980's
Ecological/Climatic perspective Data perspective
09/04/14 WLC15, 1 - 5 Sept 2014 5
Remote sensing
Collection and interpretation of Earth objects without
being in physical contact, unlike in-situ measurements
Main sources – Images from aircrafts and satellites
Using sensors to detect the variation in energy reflected
and emitted
– Human eyes – Only visible spectrum (Red,
Green, Blue)
– Sensors/detectors – whole range of electro
magnetic spectrum
Key principle of Remote sensing
– Spectral response of the objects in different
wavelengths gives valuable information on its
properties

Good alternative to in-situ data
Gives seamless spatial coverage and daily data sets
Enormous value to research as surface temperature being important
indicator of climate change
Optimization in terms of algorithms, statistical reconstructions,
observation timings are required
