THE STUDY OF RETRIEVAL THEORY AND METHODS FROM SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING FOR METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS OVER EASTERN ASIA-PARTI:ISPRM AND SRRM*

A review of ten-year's practice in developing the improved simultaneous physical retrieval method(ISPRM)is given in the hope that some creative ideas can be drawn from it.The improvement upon the SPRM is associated with the under-determinedness of this ill-posed inverse problem.In our experiment,the precondition is observed that prior information must be independent of the satellite measurements.The well-posed retrieval theory has told us that the forward process is fundamental for the retrieval,and it is the bridge between the input of satellite radiance and the output of retrievals.In order to obtain a better result from the forward process.the full advantage of every prior information available must be taken.It is necessary to turn the ill-posed inverse problem into the well-posed one.Then by using the Ridge regression or Bayes algorithm to find the optimal combination among the first guess,the theoretical analogue information and the satellite observations,the impact of the under-determinedness of this inverse problem on the numerical solution is minimized.

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.

东亚地区气象参数同步物理反演方法的数值试验:SPRM和ISPRM

从反演理论知道,正演问题是对实际大气辐射率的模拟.一切物理反演皆始于正演,而正演辐射率的逼真度又取决于初估值和遥感通道透射率的精度,从而反演过程紧密地把初估值、正演和透射率联在一起.这个研究除了构建自洽的同步反演模式外,着重将SPRM和只改变验前信息参数的SPRM做综合比较,并称后者为ISPRM.试验结果表明后者明显优于前者.     

数值天气预报———另类途径的必要性和可行性

通过讨论省 (甚至地、市) 气象部门要不要开展数值天气预报工作的问题, 认为不是所有的地方都要开展, 只是那些希望搞科研型业务、迫切要求提高当地高影响天气的预报准确率的地方要开展。对于如何开展的问题, 提出不是去重复类似于主流途径的做法, 而是开辟另类途径, 并阐述了另类途径的内容、方法和意义。强调开展另类途径无需构建模式 (这是非常困难的工作), 只需运转现成的模式, 借助所关心的现象的历史数据来改造现成模式, 使之本地化, 是完全可行的。

云对地基微波辐射计反演湿度廓线的影响

利用中国气象局大气探测试验基地的L波段探空数据和微波辐射计观测数据,采用MonoRTM辐射传输模型作为正演亮温模型,BP (back propagation) 神经网络作为反演工具,在由亮温反演大气湿度廓线的过程中,添加与样本匹配的云底高度和云厚度信息,建立新的反演模型,使新反演模型得到的反演湿度廓线和未添加云信息的反演湿度廓线分别与探空数据进行对比,获取两种反演方法各高度层的均方根误差,分析云信息对反演大气湿度廓线的影响。对比结果表明:未添加云信息时,测试样本的反演湿度廓线与探空廓线的相关系数平均值为0.685,而添加云信息后,相关系数平均值为0.805。相比未添加云信息的反演廓线,添加云信息之后多数高度层的均方根误差均有不同程度减小,而在有云以上高度层表现尤为明显。     

论过去资料在数值天气预报中使用的理论和方法

层析法微波辐射计遥感反演云液水含量的二维垂直分布

通过机载双天线微波辐射计的观测数据层析反演出云液水的空间分布是一个有限角度的图像重建问题。为提高这一反问题的适定性, 本文对已有的正则化方法进行了改进: 根据云液水的分布特征选择W1,2空间范数的离散形式作为正则项; 通过数值模拟试验确定双天线仰角的最优设置方案为 (30°, 90°) 等。为避免已有方法中对目标函数进行线性化处理而产生的模型误差, 采用L-BFGS-B算法对非线性目标函数直接求解。按照侧边界内云液水分布是否已知将反演模型分为已界模型和未界模型。已界模型的反演结果表明, 反演误差在8.6%～12.3%之间, 反演图像可以反映出不同云型的结构特征。敏感性试验表明, 影响反演精度的主要因素为投影数据的角度分辨率、 辐射计观测噪声以及侧边界云液水分布的不确定性; 受云液水含量、 正则算子特性及边界因素的综合影响, 不同云型的反演精度存在差异。为使微波辐射计探测云液水分布能够独立于其它探测手段, 本文针对未界模型提出嵌套反演方法。数值模拟试验表明, 嵌套反演方法可以为目标区域的反演提供足够的侧边界信息。

统一检索界面技术初探

气象信息存储检索系统是将实时气象资料和历史气象资料进行统一的组织和管理，并提供检索服务的系统。由于数据量大，不可能都放在存取速度快但价格较高的磁盘上，因此必须将数据根据其访问频率分别存储在一级磁盘、二级自动磁带库和三级脱机磁带上，并结合使用商用数据库管理系统、数据迁移软件和存档软件对分布在各级存储设备上的数据进行管理。但由于这些软件之间存在的不衔接，不能对三级存储没备上的数据进行统一管理，也带来了用户检索界面不统一的问题。针对这个问题，本文对基于商用数据库技术的磁盘磁带数据的统一检索界面技术进行了探讨和研究，提出了统一检索界面的解决方案并在一定条件下，实现部分关键技术。
