Dugin S. Justification of the choice of test plots of ground verification of the information space Geo Monitoring in Ukraine

The thesis for the degree of candidate of geological sciences on specialty 05.07.12 - Remote aerospace research. - State Institution "Scientific Center for Aerospace Research of the Earth of IGS NAS of Ukraine", Kyiv, 2017. Although today there are the great developments in the sphere of remote sensing geo-monitoring for the area of Ukraine some unresolved issues of major importance remain among those are the followings: 1. Verification of satellite information for remote sensing of the area of Ukraine by means of the creation of test sites for the verification of multiband (hyperspectral) data of satellite monitoring. 2. The experimental studies of the ground spectrometric information relative to the features of the natural and anthropogenic components for the test sites in Ukraine and creation of the proper basis of spectral features of environment. 3. Resolution of the thematic problems of natural resource management on a basis of revealed spectrometric information of satellite geo-monitoring in view of the ground verification of above information. Thus the subject-matter literature review shows that the methods of creation of test sites in the main physiographic zones of geological surroundings of Ukraine are poorly developed. This made it necessary to choose the above mentioned dissertation subject. Introduction substantiates the thesis actuality relative to the choice of the test sites, indicates the connection of this research with the scientific programs, defines the goals and problems of the study for the verification of satellite geomonitoring data, shows the novelty and practical relevance of the results, informs on the author's contribution, approbation of this study, denotes the Conferences, where the main results from the thesis are reported. The thesis is devoted to the selection of the earth test sites surface space for the verification of space information to increase the reliability of the geological environment research in the surface layers of the lithosphere. Justified expert estimations to select test sites. Carried out comparative analysis of the spectrometric characteristics of the landscape and geological features of Ukraine, thematic tasks of nature and space monitoring systems, which are formed as a result of the requirements for the selection of test sites. Carried out expert assessments for six major remote sensing polygons taking into account various landscape and geological conditions of Ukraine. Ob- tained the spectral characteristics of reflection of natural and anthropogenic origin for selected test sites and created the corresponding spectrometry database. Carried out synchronized gasometrical and spectrometric ground-based measurements of CO2 absorption, established an empirical dependency between these measurements. This makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the results satellite imagery in the determination of the CO2 cycle in the system "atmosphere-vegetation". Achieved the approbation variation indexes red edge reflectance spectra of wheat under the influence of the hydrocarbon leaks on the ground of chlorophyll index on oil and gas deposits. Been revealed anomalies of natural and anthropogenic origin on the basis spectrometric information.
