尺度问题是遥感科学研究的一个关键科学问题,但其理论和方法的发展严重受限于稀缺的多尺度观测数据。黑河生态水文遥感试验（Hi WATER）的核心目标之一是开展多尺度观测以支持尺度转换研究。本文综述了Hi WATER中定点观测的尺度上推研究进展,内容包括：（1）尝试严格定义了空间平均、空间尺度上推、观测足迹、代表性误差、观测真值等概念;（2）介绍了Hi WATER获取的多尺度（单点—像元—区域—流域）生态水文观测数据;（3）发展了基于地统计理论的多尺度采样方法,改进了基于时间稳定性的采样方法;（4）定量评估了辐射、碳通量、土壤水分、地表温度单点观测的代表性误差,实证了异质性地表遥感产品真实性检验的不确定性主要来源于观测的时空代表性;（5）发展了定点观测的尺度上推方法,将克里格方法推广至回归克里格、面到面、不等精度观测等情形,发展了贝叶斯框架下的非线性尺度上推方法,实证了引入遥感观测作为协同信息可显著提高尺度上推的精度。总之,Hi WATER初步形成了从采样设计、多尺度观测、代表性误差的度量、尺度上推新方法到真实性检验的研究框架。

英文摘要：

The scale issue in quantitative remote sensing is a significant challenge that comprises three major problems that need to be ad- dressed：（1） the forward modeling of remote sensing signals for heterogeneous land surfaces, （2） the parameter inversion for heterogeneous land surfaces, and （3） the upscaling of in situ observation for the validation of remote sensing products. This study focuses on the third prob- lem by reviewing the progress of upsealing research in the Heihe Watershed Allied Telemetry Experimental Research （HiWATER）. First, we define several basic concepts associated with sealing on the basis of the probability space and data assimilation theory. These concepts include spatial average, spatial upscaling, footprint scale, pixel scale, point scale, representativeness error, observation truth, and validation threshold. Second, we introduce the multiscale observation platform of HiWATER and multiscale observation data, which covers the scales from point to pixels, sub-basins, and the whole river basin. Third, we describe several new developments in the sampling design based on geostatistics and temporal stability analysis. Specifically, a hybrid model-based sampling method without any spatial autocorrelation as- sumptions is developed to optimize the distribution of eco-hydrological wireless sensor network nodes, a universal eoKriging model is pro- posed to optimize multivariate sampling design, and a stratified block kriging is used to optimize the sampling locations in a spatial hetero- geneous area. The temporal stability analysis is improved for the selection of the representative sampling points of the albedo and leaf area index. The stratified temporal stability analysis is proposed to identify the representative sampling points for monitoring long-term soil mois- ture at the pixel scale in high-intensity irrigated agricultural landscapes. Fourth, the representativeness of the in situ observation of solar radi- ation, carbon flux, soil moisture, and land surface temperature is e
