In this study, the accuracy of the Advanced Land Observing Satellite World 3D Digital Surface Model version 2.1 (ALOS W3D30), the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission Digital Elevation Model version 3.0 (SRTM30) and the Advanced Space borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global DEM version 2.0 (ASTER GDEM2) was statistically assessed using high accuracy GPS survey data. Root-Mean-Square errors of ~5.40 m, ~7.47 m and ~20.03 m were obtained for ALOS W3D30, SRTM30 and ASTER GDEM2 respectively. In further analyses, we discovered that ALOS W3D30 and SRTM30 were much more accurate in regions where the height intervals were within 201 m - 400 m and >801 m. ALOS W3D30 proved to be the most accurate DEM that best represents the topography of the earth’s surface and could be used for some earth and environmental applications in Nigeria. We recommend that this study should serve as a guide in the use of any of these DEMs for earth and environmental applications in Nigeria.展开更多

文摘DEM是表征地形状况的重要指标,在山洪淹没模拟中起着重要作用。以2016年7月19日发生在河北省石家庄市井陉县西部山区的特大暴雨山洪事件为研究对象,利用HEC-HMS水文模型和FLO-2D水动力模型,设置5种DEM分辨率方案(30、20、15、10、5 m),从淹没范围和淹没水深两方面分析了DEM分辨率对山洪淹没模拟的影响,并从模型运行时间角度对其运行效率进行了评估。研究表明:DEM分辨率越高,则淹没范围越小,平均淹没水深越大,即模型模拟精度越高,山洪事件的淹没范围及水深越接近于实际调查情况(DEM分辨率为30和5 m时,淹没范围及淹没深度的模拟精度分别为0.56和0.41、0.76和0.79);随着DEM分辨率的提高,尤其从10 m提高至5 m时,模拟结果差异减少,模拟精度的增幅也减小,淹没范围和水深的精度增幅分别为2.70%和3.94%;DEM分辨率越高,则模型运行时间越长,模型运行效率越低,5 m DEM方案下的运行时间为30 m DEM方案的700倍。综合考虑模拟精度及模拟时间,10 m分辨率的DEM对山洪淹没模拟、风险评估及预警预报等更为适用。
