针对FY-3A卫星微波湿度计MWHS(Microwave Humidity Sounder)资料的质量控制进行研究.选用2010年冬季1月17-23日FY-3A微波湿度计MWHS LlC格式的全球观测资料作为研究对象,采用双权重算法对观测增量O-B进行质量控制,其中O是Fy-3A微波湿度计观测的亮度温度,B是基于NCEP GFS全球预报系统6h预报场用辐射传输模式RTTOV模拟的亮度温度值,目的是剔除受地表发射率或云影响的离群资料.结果表明,通过双权重的质量控制后,FY-3AMWHS3、4、5通道O-B的标准差明显减小了2～3K,同时,质量控制后O-B偏差和标准差随时间窗变化也很稳定,可见该方法除去异常资料的效果较为理想,能够应用到卫星资料的质量控制中.     

滑动时间窗长度对太行山区雷达反演降水的影响

利用雷达估算太行山降水对于海河流域水循环解析、变化预测及流域水资源管理具有重要意义。本文利用2013和2014年6—9月太行山东部中低山区多普勒天气雷达反射率(Z)产品和自动雨量站降水(I)数据,采用不同滑动时间窗(1~5h)估算Z-I关系,利用2013—2014年45次降水事件验证不同时间窗Z-I关系在小雨、中雨和暴雨情况下的精度,并针对2013年7月9日降水事件进行个例分析。结果表明:不同滑动时间窗Z-I关系反演降水精度不同,误差随滑动时间窗增大,呈现先下降后上升的趋势,其中2h滑动时间窗误差最小。对于不同量级降水的反演,2h滑动时间窗Z-I关系对中雨的改进最大。个例分析表明:滑动时间窗Z-I算法的主要优势在于改善其他算法对雨强较大降水的低估。

基于地心坐标系的卫星导航测风平滑算法

本文从高空风探测原理出发，提出可业务化运行的卫星导航探空系统高空风平滑计算方法。该算法首先根据北斗〖CD*2〗GPS（Global Positioning System）双模式探空仪提供的大地坐标秒间隔数据，基于地心坐标系计算原始高空风；然后，采用矢量滑动平均法对原始数据进行平滑处理。通过与同球施放的芬兰RS92探空系统做比对分析得出，滑动平均窗口在0～32 km高度范围内设置为34 s、在32 km高度以上设置为60 s条件下，卫星导航探空系统与RS92探空系统高空风测量结果吻合较好。该算法计算结果同基于站心坐标系计算的30 s滑动平均风基本相同，但其风速分量误差范围在32 km高度以下略优、在32 km高度以上减小明显，升空全程误差范围更为稳定。     

复杂地形对计算地表太阳短波辐射的影响

首先利用数字高程数据(DEM)、大气辐射传输模式6S以及野外观测资料计算了复杂地形(青藏高原)上地表入射太阳辐射,然后计算不考虑地形产生的地表辐射的计算误差,对误差进行归一化后得到相对辐射误差.结果显示,相对辐射误差的标准差(即相对地表辐射计算误差绝对值的统计平均值) Se随太阳天顶角的增加呈指数增长,随高度标准差的增加几乎呈线性增长,随数字高程数据的分辨率(或卫星资料的分辨率)降低而降低.利用分步拟合方法拟合了Se随太阳天顶角、高度标准差和数字高程分辨率的变化.利用拟合方程可以计算任意地形条件下,不同分辨率的卫星(或数字高程)资料在不同太阳天顶角情况下,不考虑地形复杂性产生的平均地表入射太阳辐射的计算误差,结果表明,使用中分辨率的卫星(如MODIS)资料计算地表太阳净辐射时,需要考虑地形复杂性.

Fusion of dual‐frequency SAR imagery of sea ice

Abstract

A new method is presented for the classification of sea ice using multi‐parametric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery. The local textural information, which is in essence a weighted gradient at a point, is computed in two SAR images of similar polarization but differing radar wavelength. The local information from the two images is combined at every pixel using a suggested rule for the addition of an entropy‐like measure. The resulting summation is shown to have the same negative exponential probability distribution found for the information from each separate image, confirming that the combined measure has the properties of information also. It is shown that the resulting joint information categories support a segmentation very similar to one based on consideration of the full complex scattering matrix for three wavelengths.     

基于局部阈值插值的地基云自动检测方法

地基云自动化观测是当前气象业务发展的迫切需求.目前的地基云检测算法仍主要是以阈值为基础,针对固定阈值和全局阈值算法在云检测精度方面存在的不足,利用晴朗天空下天空呈蓝色、云呈白色的属件,提出了一种基于局部阈值插值的地基云自动检测方法.该方法在对云图进行重采样后,对云图蓝、红波段进行归一化差值处理,再将处理后的结果图像按空间像素位置自动分成互不重叠、大小相等的均匀子块,对每一子区域采用一定的规则并结合改进的最大类间方差自适应阈值算法计算局部阈值,然后对每一子区域形成的阈值矩阵采用双线性插值算法进行插值处理,形成与原始云图大小相等的阈值曲面,利用此阈值曲面与云图蓝、红波段归一化差值处理结果进行比较,即可完成地基云的自动检测.与固定阈值和全局阈值算法相比,局部阈值插值算法对一些细碎的云和与背景反差不大的云获得了更好的检测效果.定量的评估结果表明,固定阈值方法在正确率和精确度上都要远远低于全局阈值和局部阈值方法,而文中提出的局部阈值算法在正确率和精确度上相比全局阈值算法又有较大提高.

Tracing the origins and propagation of pre-tropical storm Debby (2006) mesoscale convective systems using pattern recognition and image fusion

This study is focused on developing pattern recognition and image fusion techniques to trace the origins and propagation of the pre-tropical storm (pre-TS) Debby (2006) mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) and African easterly waves (AEWs) using satellite imagery. These MCSs could be generating over mountains in North Africa and going through complicated splitting and merging processes. Therefore, an objectively analyzed MCS movement is essential. This study presents a technique which traces extracted features to find the origin of TS Debby. This technique produces a fused image with the most relevant information from water vapor and infrared satellite images, segments the cloud top height satellite images by clustering clouds, and tracks clouds to determine the origin of TS Debby (2006). The presented technique could be applied to other AEWs and MCSs which lead to tropical cyclogenesis to improve the numerical weather prediction over data sparse areas, such as over eastern and central North Africa.

Climate visuals: A mixed methods investigation of public perceptions of climate images in three countries

Imagery plays a central role in climate change communication. But whereas research on the verbal communication of climate change has proliferated, far fewer studies have focused on visual communication. Correspondingly, relatively little is known about how to effectively engage the public using the visual medium. The current research is the first mixed methods, cross-national investigation of public perceptions of climate images, with a focus on photographic climate change imagery. Four structured discussion groups in the UK and Germany (N = 32) and an international survey with an embedded experiment in the UK, Germany and the US (N = 3014) were conducted to examine how different types of climate change imagery were evaluated. The qualitative research pointed to the importance of the perceived authenticity and credibility of the human subjects in climate images, as well as widespread negativity towards images depicting protests and demonstrations. Images of climate ‘solutions’ produced positive emotional responses in the survey and were less polarizing for climate change skeptics, but they were also the least motivating of action. Familiar climate images (such as a polar bear on melting ice) were easily understood in the survey (and evaluated positively as a consequence) but viewed with cynicism in discussion groups. We present a detailed discussion of these and other key findings in this paper and describe a novel application of the data through an online image library for practitioners which accompanies the research (www.climatevisuals.org).     

Fengyun-3D MERSI True Color Imagery Developed for Environmental Applications

Many techniques were developed for creating true color images from satellite solar reflective bands, and the so-derived images have been widely used for environmental monitoring. For the newly launched Fengyun-3 D(FY-3 D)satellite, the same capability is required for its Medium Resolution Spectrum Imager-II(MERSI-II). In processing the MERSI-II true color image, a more comprehensive processing technique is developed, including the atmospheric correction, nonlinear enhancement, and image splicing. The effect of atmospheric molecular scattering on the total reflectance is corrected by using a parameterized radiative transfer model. A nonlinear stretching of the solar band reflectance is applied for increasing the image contrast. The discontinuity in composing images from multiple orbits and different granules is eliminated through the distance weighted pixel blending(DWPB) method. Through these processing steps, the MERSI-II true color imagery can vividly detect many natural events such as sand and dust storms, snow, algal bloom, fire, and typhoon. Through a comprehensive analysis of the true color imagery, the specific natural disaster events and their magnitudes can be quantified much easily, compared to using the individual channel data.

Eddies in the ocean and atmosphere: Identification by satellite imagery

The results are presented of using a new approach that helps to detect and compute the parameters of eddies in the ocean and tropical cyclones in the atmosphere based on satellite imagery. The approach is based on the concept of dominant orientation of thermal contrasts (DOTC). DOTC is an angle of the statistically significant orientation of brightness contrast in the specified vicinity of the image. DOTC highly correlates with the directions of flows; it is a base for construction of models for identification of eddy motions, namely, synoptic eddies in the oceans and tropical cyclones in the atmosphere. The model-based identification of one or another eddy allows estimating such parameters as the center position, shape, size, and sign (cyclone or anticyclone) of the eddy, and the size of the tropical cyclone eye. Based on the proposed approach, technologies of automatic identification and monitoring of oceanic eddies and tropical cyclones are developed. The results of the practical use of these technologies are presented for the recent years.
