Abstract

Abstract: The polar regions are the key regions to study global climate change, and also sensitive regions involving national rights and interests. Remote sensing technology offers an essential approach to monitor the ecological environment in the polar regions. Airborne remote sensing plays an important role in the Polar remote sensing due to its unique scale advantage. The importance of the polar airborne earth observation for Polar rights and strategic needs in China has been discussed, and the plans and applications of the polar airborne earth observation dominated by foreign countries in recent years are reviewed and summarized. This study attempts to prospect the application of China’s airborne earth observation in the Antarctic and Arctic regions based on the analysis of the current status of China’s polar airborne earth observation and its gap with the international advanced level, aiming at better scientific investigation, recognition and utilization of polar regions for the common interests of mankind.

Key words: airborne remote sensing, the Antarctic and Arctic, earth observation, prospect

摘要： 南北极是研究全球气候变化的关键区域,也是涉及国家权益的敏感地区。遥感技术是极地生态环境监测的重要手段。航空遥感由于其独特的尺度优势,在极地遥感中扮演重要角色。文中论述了极地航空对地观测对于我国极地权益与战略需求的重要性,回顾并总结近年来国外极地航空观测计划与应用,在分析我国当前极地航空对地观测的现状及其与国外差距的基础上,尝试对我国南北极航空对地观测的未来应用方向进行展望,以期更好地开展我国极地科学考察,认识和利用极地,为人类共同利益服务。
