利用敦煌辐射校正场对FY-2B静止气象卫星进行可见光通道的在轨辐射定标

FY-2B由于杂散光的影响，其可见光通道的发射前定标存在较大误差。利用敦煌戈壁滩辐射校正场可进行FY-2B可见光通道的在轨绝对定标。由于FY-2B对于敦煌场区的卫星天顶角接近50°，需要进行场地的方向特性BRDF修正。2002年7月对FY-2B进行了场地地表反射率、大气消光、探空等项同步测量，并对场地的方向特性进行了测量。资料处理结果表明，FY-2B可见光通道杂散光可影响定标精度达20%。长期监视表明FY-2B可见光通道探测器输出十分稳定。该文将4个可见光通道探测器场地定标得出的定标查找表列出，供用户参考使用。

FY-2B与NOAA卫星红外通道的相对定标

FY-2是自旋扫描静止气象卫星,其红外通道的在轨定标是将黑体从后光路插入目标光路中进行的,此种定标不是全光路定标,存在较大的误差。为了获得较好的红外通道在轨定标系数,用定标精度较高的NOAA(16,17)卫星通道4观测数据与FY-2B红外通道观测数据进行了相对定标试验。相对定标的工作主要是两种卫星观测仪器响应函数之间的光谱匹配和观测图像之间的几何匹配。拟合匹配后两种卫星的观测数据,利用NOAA卫星较高精度的定标系数可得到改进的FY-2B定标系数。FY-2B相对定标系数的精度比原定标系数有较大的提高。

利用FY-2C卫星数据反演云辐射特性

本文利用FY-2C静止卫星提供的可见光、中红外和热红外观测数据, 开展了水云光学厚度、粒子有效半径和云顶温度的云参数遥感探测理论和反演方法研究。基于FY-2C可见光、中红外(3.75 μm)与热红外(11 μm)通道辐射率对云光学厚度、 云滴有效半径、云顶温度辐射参数的敏感性分析, 提出三通道同时反演云的光学厚度、云滴有效半径及云顶温度的迭代方案; 通过个例分析进行了云参数反演试验, 并将结果与MODIS的云反演产品进行了对比, 最后对反演误差进行了分析。主要结论如下:(1) 个例反演得到的云参数与各通道探测数据有着较好的对应关系, 迭代计算标准偏差在允许的计算精度范围内(<0.89%), 反演结果具有合理性; (2) 通过与MODIS云反演产品的对比可以看到, 两者云光学厚度、云滴有效半径的均值和直方图分布都非常一致, 而MODIS的云顶温度比FY-2C反演值要高, 考虑到FY-2C的 11 μm通道测量的辐射值与MODIS相比偏小, 因此认为我们的反演方法与MODIS方法的精度是相当的。

An overview of MODIS radiometric calibration and characterization

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is one of the key instruments for NASA’s Earth Observing System (EOS), currently operating on both the Terra and Aqua satellites. The MODIS is a major advance over the previous generation of sensors in terms of its spectral, spatial, and temporal resolutions. It has 36 spectral bands: 20 reflective solar bands (RSB) with center wavelengths from 0.41 to 2.1 μm and 16 thermal emissive bands (TEB) with center wavelengths from 3.7 to 14.4 μm, making observations at three spatial resolutions: 250 m (bands 1–2), 500 m (bands 3–7), and 1km (bands 8-36). MODIS is a cross-track scanning radiometer with a wide field-of-view, providing a complete global coverage of the Earth in less than 2 days. Both Terra and Aqua MODIS went through extensive pre-launch calibration and characterization at various levels. In orbit, the calibration and characterization tasks are performed using its on-board calibrators (OBCs) that include a solar diffuser (SD) and a solar diffuser stability monitor (SDSM), a v-grooved flat panel blackbody (BB), and a spectro-radiometric calibration assembly (SRCA). In this paper, we present an overview of MODIS calibration and characterization activities, methodologies, and lessons learned from pre-launch characterization and in-orbit operation. Key issues discussed in this paper include in-orbit efforts of monitoring the noise characteristics of the detectors, tracking the solar diffuser and optics degradations, and updating the sensor’s response versus scan angle. The experiences and lessons learned through MODIS have played and will continue to play major roles in the design and characterization of future sensors.     

FY-4A AGRI辐射率资料偏差特征分析及订正试验

风云四号A星（Fengyun-4A,简称FY-4A）作为我国最新一代静止气象卫星,各方面技术指标都体现了“高、精、尖”特色,处于国际领先地位。其上搭载的多通道扫描成像辐射计（Advanced Geosynchronous Radiation Imager,简称AGRI）较上一代静止卫星风云二号的可见光红外自旋扫描辐射仪观测精度更高、扫描时间更短,充分体现AGRI观测资料将有效提高“一带一路”沿线国家和地区的天气预报和灾害预警水平。偏差订正是卫星资料处理的重要环节之一,因此本文通过在WRFDA v3.9.1（Weather Research and Forecasting model’s Data Assimilation v3.9.1）搭建AGRI同化接口,利用RTTOV v11. 3辐射传输模式和GFS全球预报系统（Global Forecast System）分析场研究了FY-4A AGRI红外通道8～14晴空辐射率资料的偏差特征并进行偏差订正对比试验,分析了卫星天顶角对AGRI资料偏差订正的影响,为将来实现AGRI红外通道辐射率资料在中尺度模式中的同化应用奠定基础。结果表明:（1）通道8～10及14为正偏差,通道11～13为负偏差。水汽通道9和10偏差及其标准差相对较小,偏差海陆差异不明显。通道11～14探测高度较低,陆地上观测受地表发射率影响大,质量控制时可剔除这些通道陆地上的观测。（2）各通道偏差随卫星天顶角变化的拟合直线斜率都小于0.035,对比试验结果表明偏差与卫星天顶角的关系不明显,预报因子中无需考虑卫星天顶角的作用。（3）通道8及11～14的偏差随着目标亮温的变化比水汽通道9～10明显,偏差有较强的目标亮温依赖特征。（4）根据分析的偏差特征对2018年5月13日18时（协调世界时,下同）至15日18时进行变分偏差订正试验,系统性偏差得到了有效的订正。

风云二号卫星的冰云光学厚度反演偏差分析

冰云的微物理特性参数反演是云参数反演的难点和热点问题,目前风云二号(FY-2)卫星还没有相关的业务产品。考虑薄卷云覆盖在中低云上的两层云情况,采用六棱柱形状的冰云,在云相态识别基础上,利用FY-2 卫星观测数据,采用双通道算法反演冰云光学厚度。选取2013年8月的EOS/Terra和EOS/Aqua云参数产品对反演的FY-2云光学厚度精度进行比对分析。研究结果表明,联合FY-2的可见光通道和中波红外通道可反演冰云光学厚度。基于匹配得到的34个分析个例,FY-2反演的云光学厚度分布态势与EOS/ MODIS云产品相同,但FY-2云光学厚度反演值小于EOS/MODIS 云光学厚度产品值。FY-2 反演云光学厚度与EOS/MODIS云光学厚度产品的平均偏差为6.41,相关系数平均为0.92,线性拟合平均斜率为0.74。FY-2 与EOS/MODIS云光学厚度值偏差出现原因除了反演算法存在差异外,与反演所用数据的不同存在密切关系,基础观测数据越相近,FY-2 与EOS/MODIS云光学厚度反演结果的偏差越小。     

Retrieval of Oceanic Total Precipitable Water Vapor and Cloud Liquid Water from Fengyun-3D Microwave Sounding Instruments

Fengyun-3 D(FY-3 D) satellite is the latest polar-orbiting meteorological satellite launched by China and carries 10 instruments onboard. Its microwave temperature sounder(MWTS) and microwave humidity sounder(MWHS) can acquire a total of 28 channels of brightness temperatures, providing rich information for profiling atmospheric temperature and moisture. However, due to a lack of two important frequencies at 23.8 and 31.4 GHz, it is difficult to retrieve the total precipitable water vapor(TPW) and cloud liquid water path(CLW) from FY-3 D microwave sounder data as commonly done for other microwave sounding instruments. Using the channel similarity between Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership(NPP) advanced technology microwave sounder(ATMS) and FY-3 D microwave sounding instruments, a machine learning(ML) technique is used to generate the two missing low-frequency channels of MWTS and MWHS. Then, a new dataset named as combined microwave sounder(CMWS) is obtained,which has the same channel setting as ATMS but the spatial resolution is consistent with MWTS. A statistical inversion method is adopted to retrieve TPW and CLW over oceans from the FY-3 D CMWS. The intercomparison between different satellites shows that the inversion products of FY-3 D CMWS and Suomi NPP ATMS have good consistency in magnitude and distribution. The correlation coefficients of retrieved TPW and CLW between CMWS and ATMS can reach 0.95 and 0.85, respectively.

A Cloud Detection Scheme for the Chinese Carbon Dioxide Observation Satellite(TANSAT)

Cloud detection is an essential preprocessing step for retrieving carbon dioxide from satellite observations of reflected sunlight.During the pre-launch study of the Chinese Carbon Dioxide Observation Satellite(TANSAT),a cloud-screening scheme was presented for the Cloud and Aerosol Polarization Imager(CAPI),which only performs measurements in five channels located in the visible to near-infrared regions of the spectrum.The scheme for CAPI,based on previous cloudscreening algorithms,defines a method to regroup individual threshold tests for each pixel in a scene according to the derived clear confidence level.This scheme is proven to be more effective for sensors with few channels.The work relies upon the radiance data from the Visible and Infrared Radiometer(VIRR)onboard the Chinese Feng Yun-3A Polar-orbiting Meteorological Satellite(FY-3A),which uses four wavebands similar to that of CAPI and can serve as a proxy for its measurements.The scheme has been applied to a number of the VIRR scenes over four target areas(desert,snow,ocean,forest)for all seasons.To assess the screening results,comparisons against the cloud-screening product from MODIS are made.The evaluation suggests that the proposed scheme inherits the advantages of schemes described in previous publications and shows improved cloud-screening results.A seasonal analysis reveals that this scheme provides better performance during warmer seasons,except for observations over oceans,where results are much better in colder seasons.     

FY-3A/MWHS冷空测值受月球影响分析及修正

为解决月球对风云三号卫星微波湿度计在轨实时辐射定标的影响问题,该文根据风云三号卫星微波湿度计在轨实时观测数据分析,通过多项式拟合分析技术,建立修正模型,消除月球影响,得到合理的辐射定标结果。风云三号卫星微波湿度计在轨实测数据分析表明:月球对风云三号卫星微波湿度计在轨辐射定标结果影响最严重时一天内可干扰4~5条轨道,每条轨道有近100个扫描周期受到污染。月球影响致使冷空定标观测数据跳升1000个计数值,如果不进行污染滤除会造成对地观测亮温下降约20 K,导致辐射资料无法同化进入数值天气预报模式。通过与同类载荷的交叉比对分析,修正月球影响后,风云三号卫星微波湿度计在轨实时辐射定标结果精度与在轨测试结果相当。
