It is extremely important to extract valuable information and achieve efficient integration of remote sensing data. The multi-source and heterogeneous nature of remote sensing data leads to the increasing complexity of these relationships, and means that the processing mode based on data ontology cannot meet requirements any more. On the other hand, the multi-dimensional features of remote sensing data bring more difficulties in data query and analysis, especially for datasets with a lot of noise. Therefore, data quality has become the bottleneck of data value discovery, and a single batch query is not enough to support the optimal combination of global data resources. In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal local association query algorithm for remote sensing data (STLAQ). Firstly, we design a spatio-temporal data model and a bottom-up spatio-temporal correlation network. Then, we use the method of partition-based clustering and the method of spectral clustering to measure the correlation between spatio-temporal correlation networks. Finally, we construct a spatio-temporal index to provide joint query capabilities. We carry out local association query efficiency experiments to verify the feasibility of STLAQ on multi-scale datasets. The results show that the STLAQ weakens the barriers between remote sensing data, and improves their application value effectively.

Monitoring of water quality changes in highly dynamic inland lakes is frequently impeded by insufficient spatial and temporal coverage, for both field surveys and remote sensing methods. To track short-term variations of chlorophyll fluorescence and chlorophyll-a concentrations in Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, high-frequency, in-situ, measurements were collected from two fixed stations. The K-mean clustering method was also applied to identify clusters with similar spatio-temporal variations, using remote sensing Chl-a data products from the MERIS satellite, taken from 2003 to 2012. Four lake area classes were obtained with distinct spatio-temporal patterns, two of which were selected for in situ measurement. Distinct daily periodic variations were observed, with peaks at approximately 3:00 PM and troughs at night or early morning. Short-term variations of chlorophyll fluorescence and Chl-a levels were revealed, with a maximum intra-diurnal ratio of 5.1 and inter-diurnal ratio of 7.4, respectively. Using geostatistical analysis, the temporal range of chlorophyll fluorescence and corresponding Chl-a variations was determined to be 9.6 h, which indicates that there is a temporal discrepancy between Chl-a variations and the sampling frequency of current satellite missions. An analysis of the optimal sampling strategies demonstrated that the influence of the sampling time on the mean Chl-a concentrations observed was higher than 25%, and the uncertainty of any single Terra/MODIS or Aqua/MODIS observation was approximately 15%. Therefore, sampling twice a day is essential to resolve Chl-a variations with a bias level of 10% or less. The results highlight short-term variations of critical water quality parameters in freshwater, and they help identify specific design requirements for geostationary earth observation missions, so that they can better address the challenges of monitoring complex coastal and inland environments around the world.
