两种高光谱热红外数据大气校正方法的分析与比较

利用模拟数据对Autonomous Atmospheric Compensation(AAC)和In-scene Atmospheric Compensation(ISAC)这两种高光谱热红外数据大气校正方法进行了对比和分析。结果显示,在满足方法适用条件情况下,AAC方法大气校正精度较高,除湿热的热带大气外,大气透过率的反演误差小于0.02,大气上行辐射的误差小于0.004W.m-2.sr-1.cm;而ISAC方法精度较低,透过率误差在0.05至0.3之间,上行辐射误差在0.003W.m-2.sr-1.cm至0.035W.m-2.sr-1.cm之间变化,误差随大气水汽含量增加而增加。大气非均一性对大气校正精度影响分析表明,AAC方法大气校正精度受大气非均一性影响显著。因此,需从高光谱数据光谱信息出发,发展针对低空间分辨率高光谱热红外数据的大气校正方法,以克服现有方法大气水平均一假设的不足。

Calibrating the Pointing and Optical Parameters of the STEREO Heliospheric Imagers

The Heliospheric Imager (HI) instruments on the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) observe solar plasma as it streams out from the Sun and into the heliosphere. The telescopes point off-limb (from about 4° to 90° elongation) and so the Sun is not in the field of view. Hence, the Sun cannot be used to confirm the instrument pointing. Until now, the pointing of the instruments have been calculated using the nominal preflight instrument offsets from the STEREO spacecraft together with the spacecraft attitude data. This paper develops a new method for deriving the instrument pointing solutions, along with other optical parameters, by comparing the locations of stars identified in each HI image with the known star positions predicted from a star catalogue. The pointing and optical parameters are varied in an autonomous manner to minimise the discrepancy between the predicted and observed positions of the stars. This method is applied to all HI observations from the beginning of the mission to the end of April 2008. For the vast majority of images a good attitude solution has been obtained with a mean-squared deviation between the observed and predicted star positions of one image pixel or less. Updated values have been obtained for the instrument offsets relative to the spacecraft, and for the optical parameters of the HI cameras. With this method the HI images can be considered as “self-calibrating,” with the actual instrument offsets calculated as a byproduct. The updated pointing results and their by-products have been implemented in SolarSoft.     

X波段双线偏振雷达不同衰减订正方法对比及其对降水估测影响研究

文中分析了X波段双线偏振雷达衰减订正各种方法的特点,考虑到差传播相移率(KDP)作为衰减订正的一种有效途径,以及由于KDP值较小,数据质量不稳定,往往导致订正误差较大,因此提出了同时利用水平反射率因子ZH与KDP进行衰减订正的ZH-KDP综合法.基于同样的考虑,在随后利用ZH、KDP进行降水估测时,提出了ZH-KDP-R综合估测方法.利用中国科学院寒区旱区环境与工程研究所和成都锦江电子系统工程有限公司,在研制3.2 cm波长同时收发式多普勒偏振天气雷达过程中,2005年8月在平凉外场试验取得的一批观测资料,对提出的衰减订正综合法及降水估测综合法的效果进行了分析检验,结果表明,ZH-KDP综合法对ZH、ZDR有稳定的订正效果,并且订正速度快,能够达到实时运行的要求.2005年8月11日15:08:03-22:05:46,间隔5-12 min不等,雷达开机取得了连续的观测资料,通过对这次降水过程的对比分析表明,ZH-KDP-R综合估测法比单因子KDP-R法、Z-R关系法,适用估测的降水强度变化范围广,与自动雨量记的观测结果较为吻合.Z-R关系法中,利用订正后的ZH值,比利用订正前的ZH值,降水估测值与雨量记实测值的误差明显减小,说明衰减订正后的雷达数据质量有明显的改善.     

MODIS 1B数据的预处理及归一化植被指数计算

MODIS 1B数据的预处理是MODIS数据使用前的重要处理步骤之一。本文在分析MODIS数据畸变的基础上,利用ENVI软件对2006年7月覆盖宁夏全区的MODIS 1B数据进行了bow-tie校正和几何校正。在预处理的基础上,通过最大值合成法计算出了7月下旬宁夏全区的归一化植被指数（NDVI）。结果表明,通过该方法得到的NDVI可以很好反映全区的植被状况。     

A Re-examination of Density Effects in Eddy Covariance Measurements of CO_2 Fluxes

Corrections of density effects resulting from air-parcel expansion/compression are important in interpreting eddy covariance fluxes of water vapor and CO2 when open-path systems are used. To account for these effects, mean vertical velocity and perturbation of the density of dry air are two critical parameters in treating those physical processes responsible for density variations. Based on various underlying assumptions, different studies have obtained different formulas for the mean vertical velocity and ...     

辐射方案对GRAPES全球模式的影响

辐射过程是中期数值天气预报模式和气候模式中一个重要的物理过程。本文针对GRAPES (Global/Regional Assimilation and PrEdiction System) 全球模式非静力半隐式半拉格朗日的特点, 进行了不同辐射方案的敏感性比较试验, 以期找到一个适合于GRAPES全球模式的辐射方案。用到的方案包括WRF模式中的RRTM长波辐射方案、 NASA的Goddard短波辐射方案以及ECMWF的长短波辐射方案。试验结果表明, ECMWF的辐射方案更适合于GRAPES模式, 30天平均的北半球500 hPa高度场距平相关系数较WRF的辐射方案提高了近2%。另外, 针对实际运行中存在的辐射计算不稳定问题, 对辐射方案进行了气压订正和温度订正, 并对2005年7月影响我国的海棠台风进行了模拟试验, 气压订正后的120小时模式预报在对副热带高压和台风的描述上更接近于分析, 可用预报时效也有了明显提高。

GasBenchⅡ顶空瓶内空气背景对<100μg碳酸盐中碳氧同位素在线测定的影响及校正方法初探

较为系统地研究了在特定排空时间下GasBenchⅡ顶空瓶内背景CO2的量和同位素组成变化,并检查了该空白CO2组分对碳酸盐C、O同位素在线测定的影响。结果发现,由于排空时间较短所导致的顶空瓶内剩余的空气CO2或由于排空方法不当所导致的外部空气少量回流都会对小样品量(100μg)碳酸盐C、O同位素测定结果产生显著影响。其影响程度取决于空白CO2的量和空白CO2与碳酸盐样品之间C、O同位素的差别大小。由此,对小样品量碳酸盐C、O同位素的测定结果进行了空白校正。当碳酸盐样品质量在20~100μg,校正后δ13C和δ18O值的标准偏差分别小于0.12‰和0.13‰,这证明了该空白校正方法的可行性。由于顶空瓶中空白CO2的量很小,所以对痕量CO2的量、δ13C和δ18O测定值的测定会存在一定波动,这对碳酸盐δ13C和δ18O校正值产生小于0.2‰的不确定度。采用准确测定的实验室空气CO2的δ13C和δ18O值则会大大减少该不确定度的影响。
