利用AIRS卫星资料反演大气廓线Ⅰ.特征向量统计反演法

引进美国威斯康星大学的IMAPP（International MODIS／AIRS Preprocessing Package）软件包，介绍了利用高光谱分辨率大气红外探测器AIRS（Atmospheric Infrared Sounder）观测辐射值，用特征向量统计法反演大气温度、湿度等垂直廓线的算法，采用亮度温度分类和扫描角分类回归后，减小了反演误差。并将其应用到中国地区，通过与无线电探空值及欧洲中期天气预报中心ECMWF（European Center of Medium-range Weather Forecasts）客观分析场的比较，结果表明：该方法所获得的温度、水汽反演结果与探空观测及ECMWF大气廓线分布一致，且AIRS因其高光谱分辨率（即高垂直空间分辨率）显示了精细的大气结构。

本文介绍了利用NOAA系列卫星垂直探测器(TOVS)资料反演水汽廓线的方法,并给出了利用特征向量回归法由NOAA-9 TOVS资料反演水汽廊线的结果及其与常规探测资料的比较分析。比较结果表明,卫星反演水汽廓线与常规探测水汽廓线基本吻合。     

应用ATOVS资料反演大气温湿廓线

本文用牛顿迭代的方法反演NOAA-15极轨气象卫星ATOVS资料，求解大气温度廓线和水汽廓线，本文利用一阶变分原理从辐射传输方程中得到了大气温度、水汽权重函数的解析形式，并改进了传统使用的线性迭代方法，利用牛顿非线性迭代方法求解大气表层温度，大气温度廓线及大气水汽廓线，并根据大气参量的自相关性，将大气温度廓线、大气水汽廓线用经验正交函数（EOF）的线性组合表示，减少了要反演的参数，提高了反演稳定性和迭代速度。     

大气红外探测器(AIRS)温、湿度反演产品的有效性检验及在数值模式中的应用研究

利用中国540个地面气象观测站点资料,对1和7月大气红外探测器(AIRS)的反演中国区域地面气温精度做了详细评估,分析了产生误差的原因。同时把AIRS的反演温、湿度廓线产品与T213数值预报产品进行比较,分析了它们之间的差异。为进一步考察AIRS温、湿度产品的有效性,我们把经过订正的AIRS地面气温以及温、湿度廓线产品分析同化到中尺度模式MM5中,用于华北降雪天气过程的对比模拟试验,分析AIRS反演产品对降雪量、水汽场、垂直速度场、散度场以及云物理过程等的影响。     

大气红外探测器(AIRS)温、湿廓线反演产品及边界层高度在黄土高原的验证

利用黄土高原地区加强观测期探空资料和大气红外探测器(Atmospheric Infrared Sounder,AIRS)反演的温度、相对湿度廓线资料,评估了AIRS反演产品在黄土高原的适用性,以及利用AIRS温度廓线计算边界层高度的可行性。结果表明,各种边界层高度计算方法相关性显著,平均高度差异一般不超过200 m;Richardson数临界值的选取对确定边界层高度的影响不大。AIRS反演的大气温度和相对湿度均能很好地反映环境温湿的变化;温度平均偏差在±1 K以内,均方根误差一般不超过2 K;AIRS反演的地面气温误差相对较大,平均偏差和均方根误差分别为-1.68 K和3.32 K,并且会影响边界层高度的确定;AIRS相对湿度平均偏差在±10%以内,均方根误差不超过20%。利用Parcel法估计的边界层高度结果显示,根据AIRS反演的温度廓线确定的AIRS边界层高度低于利用探空观测资料确定的边界层高度,但能较好地再现边界层高度的变化,在没有探空数据时,可以用AIRS反演的温度廓线确定边界层高度。     

AIRS反演中国区域上对流层水汽分布特征研究

上对流层水汽分布对于全球能量和水循环具有非常重要的影响。利用美国Aqua卫星红外高光谱仪器（AIRS）反演的湿度廓线资料对中国上对流层水汽时空分布特征进行了分析。为了保证卫星反演湿度廓线产品精度可以满足气候特征分析的需求,首先利用JICA野外加密探空试验观测数据对卫星反演湿度廓线进行了真实性检验,分析表明,Aqua卫星搭载的AIRS反演的湿度廓线与探空加密观测数据总体具有较好的相关性,在200 hPa高度相对湿度偏差在5%以内,其精度可以用于上对流层水汽气候特征的分析。通过趋势分析以及EOF分解等方法,分析了2003年1月-2013年12月的中国区域上对流层水汽时空分布特征,结果表明,受夏季风影响,中国区域上对流层水汽具有明显的季节变化规律和年周期特征,中国大部分地区上对流层冬季偏干、夏季偏湿,夏季高湿区可以北移到35°N以北。而在新疆地区冬季偏湿、夏季偏干。总体来说,全年夏季水汽含量最高,秋季次之,冬季最小。2003年以来新疆地区及南部海域上对流层水汽呈显著增加趋势,华南、华北、内蒙古中西部水汽也有所增加,在高原地区及东北区域上对流层水汽稍有减少,但变化均不显著。上对流层水汽的增加,将有可能放大温室效应,在气候变化研究中应给予重视。     

利用人工神经网络方法反演大气温度廓线

高光谱大气红外探测仪AIRS(Atmospheric Infrared Sounder)资料能够显示小尺度的大气温度垂直结构,为数值预报和天气诊断提供了更加准确精细的初始场.目前处理数据主要使用晴空大气业务反演国际MODIS/AIRS处理软件包IMAPP (International MODIS/AIRS Preprocessing Package)中的特征向量统计回归算法,由于统计法算法简单,反演精度受到较大限制.现提出一种利用人工神经网络的算法来对晴空状况下AIRS模拟辐射值进行大气温度廓线反演的方法,并与特征向量统计法结果相比较.结果表明,神经网络方法与特征向量统计法反演所耗时间相当,减小了反演误差,各高度层温度反演精度均有不同程度的改进,获得了较好的反演结果.     

红外超光谱资料(AIRS)反演“云娜”台风外围晴空大气温度廓线的研究

研究反演了2004年8月11日“云娜”台风附近晴空像元大气温度、臭氧廓线及表层温度、地表气压、地表比辐射率等参数,并与观测资料进行了对比验证。在研究了用高空间分辨率的MODIS成像仪的云检测信息来进行空间匹配,客观确定高光谱大气垂直探测器AIRS的云检测的基础上,用特征向量统计法反演的廓线作为物理反演法的初始猜值,然后利用牛顿非线性物理迭代法求解表层温度、表层气压、大气温度廓线和臭氧廓线等,并将反演结果与多种观测资料进行了对比验证。结果表明,反演得到的廓线水平分辨率可达到13.5 km（星下点）,垂直分辨率达到101层,反演误差较小,可以弥补高原、沙漠以及高原等地方常规观测资料的不足。     

红外高光谱资料模拟大气廓线反演对云的敏感性

用不同云顶高度和不同有效云量时的星载红外高光谱观测值,模拟大气温湿垂直廓线反演对云参数的敏感性。用特征向量统计反演法按照云顶高度和有效云量分类反演了大气温湿廓线,统计了不同云高（200,300,500,700和850hPa）及云高有50hPa误差时温度、水汽混合比反演的均方根误差随有效云量的变化。结果表明,随着有效云量的增大,云顶以下各高度层上的温度、水汽混合比反演误差都明显增大。云高有50hPa误差较准确已知而言,温度和水汽混合比的反演误差增大,但温度反演对云高误差的敏感性比水汽反演要高。     

Calculation of updated coefficients for atmospheric temperature retrieval

In older to calculate updated coefficients for atmospheric temperature retrieval from satellite sounding data and radiosonde data, it is necessary to form statistical samples of real radiance and radiosonde data match-ups. A procedure is presented here for the data matchups. And a method of eigenvectors of statistical covariance matrices is used to produce updated coefficients for atmospheric temperature retrieval. The updated coefficients produced are tested using radiance observations from NOAA-7 satellite. Comparisons of these real-time retrieved data with radiosonde data show that the atmospheric temperature profiles retrieved have an accu-racy of RMS 2－3 degrees (oC). In addition, the error sources are also discussed.     

A comparison of SSM/I and TOVS column water vapor data over the global oceans

Summary This paper presents a comparison of column water vapor (CWV) information derived from both infrared measurements as part of the TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) and Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) in an attempt to assess the relative merits of each kind of data. From the analyses presented in this paper, it appears that both types of satellite data closely reproduce the bulk climatological relationships introduced in earlier studies using different data. This includes both the bulk relationship between CWV and the sea surface temperature and the annual variation of CWV over the world's oceans. The TOVS water vapor data tends to be systematically smaller than the SSM/I data and when averaged over the ocean covered regions of the globe this difference is between 2–3 kgm^–2. Using a cloud liquid water threshold technique to establish clear sky values of SSM/I water vapor, we conclude that the differences between TOVS and SSM/I are largely a result of the clear sky bias in TOVS sampling except in the subsidence regions of the subtropics. The clear sky bias is considerably smaller than previously reported and we attribute this improvement to the new physical retrieval scheme implemented by NOAA NESDIS. While there is considerable agreement between the two types of satellite data, there are also important differences. In regions where there is drying associated with large scale subsidence of the atmosphere, the TOVS CWV's are too moist relative to both radiosonde and SSM/I data and this difference may exceed 10 kgm^–2. The explanation for this difference lies in the limitations of infrared radiative transfer. By contrast, in regions of deep convection, such as in the ITCZ, TOVS CWV is systematically lower than the SSM/I CWV. Both TOVS and SSM/I data demonstrate similar kinds of gross effects of large scale circulation on the water vapor except in these subsidence regions where TOVS data leads to an under-prediction of the effects of subsidence drying.With 11 Figures

利用国家气象中心的数值天气预报（NWP）6 h预报场。作为同步物理反演模式初估场，由气象卫星垂直探测（TOVS）资料推导出大气湿度，并给出了试验结果。结果表明，TOVS湿度反演的相对误差（RMS）约为20%。其中，夏季反演结果略优于冬季，而且低层（1000 hPa）和高层（500 hPa以上）与初估场相比有较大的改进，中层（850，700 hPa）二者大致相当。与统计回归反演结果相比其精度约提高10%。该研究为在我国建立“卫星反演/数据同化/数值预报”相互影响的循环系统奠定了基础

Study on Microwave Remote Sensing of Atmosphere, Cloud and Rain

In this paper, recent research of microwave remote sensing of atmosphere, cloud and rain in China is presented. It includes the following aspects:(1) Progress in the development of multifrequency radiometer and its characteristics and parameters;(2) Application of microwave remote sensing in prediction of atmospheric boundary layer. The atmospheric temperature profiles are derived with 5 mm (54.5 GHz) radiometer angle-scanning observations. Due to the fact that microwave radiometer could monitor the atmospheric temperature profile continuously and make the initialization of numerical model any time, it is helpful for improving the accuracy in prediction of the evolution of atmospheric boundary layer;(3) Theory and application of microwave radiometers in monitoring atmospheric temperature, humidity and water content in cloud. The field experiment of International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) at Shionomisaki and Amami Oshima of Japan for studies of cloud and weather has been described;(4) Satellite remote sensing of atmosphere and cloud. The TIROS-N TOVS satellite data are used to obtain at-mospheric temperature profile. The results are compared with those of radiosonde, with rms deviation smaller than that of the current operational TOVS processing;(5) Microwave remote sensing and communication. The atmospheric attenuations are derived with microwave remote sensing methods such as solar radiation method etc., in order to obtain the local value instantaneously. The characteristics of Beijing’s rainfall have been analysed and the probability of microwave attenuation of rain is predicted;(6) For improvement of the accuracy of rainfall measurement, a radiometer-radar system (λ= 3.2 cm) has been developed. The variation of rainfull distribution and area-rainfall may be obtained by its measurements, which may be helpful for hydrological prediction.The prospect of microwave remote sensing in meteorology is also discussed.     

A COMPARISON OF THE RETRIEVAL OF ATMOSPHERIC TEMPERATURE PROFILES USING OBSERVATIONS OF THE 60 GHZ AND 118.75 GHZ ABSORPTION LINES

The Microwave Temperature Sounder-Ⅱ(MWTS-Ⅱ) and Microwave Humidity and Temperature Sounder(MWHTS) onboard the Fengyun-3 C(FY-3 C) satellite can be used to detect atmospheric temperature profiles. The MWTS-II has 13 temperature sounding channels around the 60 GHz oxygen absorption band and the MWHTS has 8 temperature sounding channels around the 118.75 GHz oxygen absorption line. The data quality of the observed brightness temperatures can be evaluated using atmospheric temperature retrievals from the MWTS-Ⅱ and MWHTS observations. Here, the bias characteristics and corrections of the observed brightness temperatures are described. The information contents of observations are calculated, and the retrieved atmospheric temperature profiles are compared using a neural network(NN) retrieval algorithm and a one-dimensional variational inversion(1 D-var) retrieval algorithm. The retrieval results from the NN algorithm show that the accuracy of the MWTS-Ⅱ retrieval is higher than that of the MWHTS retrieval, which is consistent with the results of the radiometric information analysis. The retrieval results from the 1 D-var algorithm show that the accuracy of MWTS-Ⅱ retrieval is similar to that of the MWHTS retrieval at the levels from 850-1,000 h Pa, is lower than that of the MWHTS retrieval at the levels from 650-850 h Pa and 125-300 h Pa, and is higher than that of MWHTS at the other levels. A comparison of the retrieved atmospheric temperature using these satellite observations provides a reference value for assessing the accuracy of atmospheric temperature detection at the 60 GHz oxygen band and 118.75 GHz oxygen line. In addition, based on the comparison of the retrieval results, an optimized combination method is proposed using a branch and bound algorithm for the NN retrieval algorithm, which combines the observations from both the MWTS-Ⅱand MWHTS instruments to retrieve the atmospheric temperature profiles. The results show that the optimal combination can further improve the accuracy of MWTS-Ⅱ retrieval and enhance the detection accuracy of atmospheric temperatures near the surface.
