海表温度对中法海洋卫星散射计测量的影响

卫星散射计通过测量海表粗糙度反演全球海面风场。对于Ku波段散射计，海表粗糙不仅和海面风场相关，还受海表温度的二阶效应调制。定量研究了海表温度对中法海洋卫星（CFOSAT）散射计（CSCAT）反演风速和后向散射测量的影响。结果表明，CSCAT两种极化方式测量的后向散射系数都会受到海表温度的影响，但是垂直极化中低入射角（θ <36°）测量的后向散射系数几乎不随温度变化。因此CSCAT的风速偏差也随海表温度的变化而变化，且随着入射角的增大和风速的减小，海表温度对风速偏差的影响程度增大。在数据分析的基础上提出了一种考虑海表温度影响机制的地球物理模式函数，为未来CFOSAT散射计风场反演的海温校正提供参考。

Effects of Sea Surface Temperature on the CFOSAT Scatterometer Measurements

Satellite scatterometer is designed to retrieve global sea surface winds by measuring the sea surface roughness. For Ku-band scatterometers, the sea surface roughness is not only affected by winds, but also by certain secondary effect, namely Sea Surface Temperature (SST). This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the SST effects on the China-France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT) scatterometer (CSCAT) backscatter measurements and wind retrievals. The results show that the backscatter coefficients measured by CSCAT vertically and horizontally polarized beams are both effected by SST, while for vertically polarized beams, the SST effect is nearly negligible at moderate and low incidence angles (θ < 36°). Consequently, the wind speed bias of CSCAT also changes along with SST, e.g., large SST-induced bias is associated with high incidence angles and/or low wind speed conditions. Finally, an SST-dependence Geophysical Model Function (GMF) is proposed, which opens a door for further improving the quality of CFOSAT scatterometer wind products.
