Volcanic gas measurements using a compact mid-wave infrared hyperspectral imager

Read Abstract +

Gases released from a volcano, such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2), present hazards to the environment and local populations as well as providing a means to monitor volcanic activity and study pre-eruptive signatures. In the Mid-Wave InfraRed (MWIR) from 3 to 5 microns both the aforementioned volcanic gases exhibit characteristic absorptions. Remote sensing in the MWIR, however, is challenging due to the limited amount of signal available to measure. This presents technical challenges on achieving high signal-to-noise ratios; therefore, acquiring adequate data in the MWIR has been difficult without cryogenically cooling the instrument. However, ecent improvements to microbolometer technology and emerging interferometric techniques have allowed us to acquire good thermal infrared data without the need for cooling. By utilizing the advantages of an imaging interferometer paired with an uncooled microbolometer, we demonstrate the use of a MWIR compact, hyperspectral imager for volcanic gas detection. The instrument, the Miniaturized Infrared Detector of Atmospheric Species (MIDAS), is representative of an instrument that could feasibly be flown on a small satellite in low earth orbit for the detection and monitoring of volcanic gases. Recently MIDAS was deployed to Kilauea’s Halema’uma’u pit crater which during the deployment had an active lava lake that was continuously releasing volcanic gases. Sources like the Kilauea lava lake provide high background temperatures that aid MWIR measurements of volcanic gases. We present hyperspectral analysis of volcanic gases from the Kilauea lava lake using data from the MIDAS instrument and line by line radiative transfer analysis. Brightness temperature maps of the lake surface show values consistent with direct thermocouple measurements and point radiometer measurements. Here we present resolved images of spectral radiance, brightness temperature, and CO₂ concentrations. The map of CO₂ is relatively uniform, but show subtle variation at the 2553 - 3313+/- 167 ppm level.

While reflection band hyperspectral instruments have been in use for over a decade, only recently has data from airborne thermal IR hyperspectral instruments become available. One such instrument is the Airborne Hyperspectral Imager (AHI). AHI is a pushbroom sensor developed by the University of Hawaii that spans the 8 to 11.5 micrometer spectral band with 32 spectral bands and 256 simultaneous spatial channels. While many analysis techniques used for reflection band hyperspectral processing can be applied to the thermal band, new procedures had to be developed. In particular, sensor noise and sensor non-linearity induced spectral artifacts are a greater problem than for the VNIR and SWIR. The process begins with calibration, with different calibration files being used to optimize the reduction of sensor artifacts such as shading and striping. Once the data has been calibrated to radiance units, the absorption and path radiance effects of the atmosphere can be removed, if atmospheric truth is available. Following this step, the apparent emissivity is calculated for every pixel in each band. The data is now in a form that is analogous to the apparent reflectance images developed for reflection band data. At this point spectral analysis techniques can be applied to classify the image. The procedure used here was to use an automated endmember determination algorithm, N- FINDR, to determine spectral endmembers and unmix the data cube into fractional abundances. Since some endmembers are likely to result from residual sensor and cultural artifacts, the automated endmember determination and unmixing procedure is performed interactively to optimize results. Both the fractional abundance planes and the endmember spectra themselves are then reviewed for artifacts. Selected abundance planes that correspond to real minerals can then be combined into a classification map. In this paper, AHI data collected for two applications: the detection of buried land mine application and a geological remote sensing application will be presented using similar processing steps.
