Remote sensing data and their use in topoclimatic study

Abstract

This work demonstrates the potential of using current digital satellite raster data to study a topoclimate. Also presented are digital vector data. All data have been provided by the Canadian Center for Remote Sensing in Ottawa within the scope of the solution for the project titled “Environmental Consequences of Local Climatic Effects” (A Case Study: British Columbia). The model region represents the southwest part of British Columbia located between Vancouver and the Okanagan basin. The most valuable components of a topoclimatic research are altimetric data assisting in the calculation of a DEM, multi-spectral images assigned to appropriate land cover categories, and thermal images. Subsequent integration of the DPZ and vector data provides a powerful tool for solving tasks leading to a topoclimate description, potential climatic effects and in wider implications even for studies of their impacts on the living environment.

Secondary title:	Podatki daljinskega zaznavanja in njihova uporaba v topoklimatskih študijah
Secondary abstract:	Prispevek predstavlja možnosti uporabe rastrskih in vektorskih podatkov dobljenih s pomočjo daljinskega zaznavanja v topoklimatskih študijah. Uporabo podatkov je omogočil Kanadski center za daljinsko zaznavanje v Ottawi v okviru projekta “Okoljske posledice lokalnih podnebnih sprememb na primeru Britanske Kolumbije”. Vzorčno območje analize je obsegalo jugozahodni del Britanske Kolumbije med Vancouvrom in kotlino Okanagan. Najpomembnejši parameter topoklimatskih analiz predstavljajo podatki o nadmorskih višinah, multispektralni posnetki, s pomočjo katerih lahko določamo rabo tal in posnetki toplotnega sevanja. Integracija digitalnih satelitskih podatkov in vektorskih podatkov prinaša zelo učinkovito orodje pri analizi topoklimatskih problemov in splošnih topoklimatskih vplivov na okolje.
