飓风天气下机载SFMR与星载微波遥感海面风速的对比分析

飓风天气下多种探测技术提供的海面风速的一致性备受关注。飓风侦察机搭载的步进频率微波辐射计(SFMR)提供的海面高风速数据是海面风速最主要的现场观测数据源。本文旨在分析SFMR风速与星载微波散射计(C波段欧洲MetOp系列卫星散射计ASCAT,Ku波段中法海洋卫星散射计CSCAT和中国HY-2系列卫星散射计HSCAT)和微波辐射计(SMAP和SMOS)遥感风速的一致性。通过分析SFMR风速随空间尺度变化的关系,进而提出了SFMR与散射计和辐射计数据进行时空匹配的方法。结果表明,高风速(>15 m·s^–1)辐射计比散射计风速与SFMR风速的一致性更好,风速高于25 m·s^–1时Ku波段散射计风速趋于饱和。高风速下降雨也是影响散射计风速误差的重要因素,但依赖于风速的误差显著高于降雨影响带来的误差。基于SFMR数据进一步揭示了星载微波散射计和辐射计提供海面风速的误差特征,为遥感数据应用提供参考。

地基Fabry-Perot中高层大气风速反演及误差分析

基于子午工程地基法布里-帕罗干涉仪（Fabry-Perot Interferometer,FPI）的气辉观测数据,结合地基独特的观测模式（天顶角为0° 的天顶方向和天顶角为45°的东西北南四个方向）对地基中高层大气风速进行反演,包括数据预处理、干涉环圆心确定、干涉环半径计算和风速反演. 将2010年5月6-13日8天十个环（十个干涉环同时参与反演）的反演结果与地基FPI风速实测数据进行比较,得到557.7nm,630.0nm,892.0nm三种谱线气辉的反演平均偏差分别为2.7m·s-1,5.5m·s-1,7.7m·s-1. 此外,基于反演算法对上述反演精度影响因素进行了分析. 研究发现,气辉辐射强度对风速的反演精度影响较大,气辉辐射越强,外环的半径计算精度越高,可参与的反演环数越多,则最终的风速反演精度越高. 而圆心偏差± 2pixel（五个环）和± 1pixel（十个环）及焦距变化（±10mm）对风速反演精度的影响相对较小,但当超出这一偏差范围,风速反演偏差会迅速增大.      

ASAR imaging for coastal upwelling in the Baltic Sea

Analysis of Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) and Aqua/Terra Moderate Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) infrared (IR) imagery of coastal upwelling in the southeastern Baltic Sea is presented. It is found that upwelling features are well distinct in the SAR images, and the leading imaging mechanism appears to be the change of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) stratification over the sea surface temperature (SST) front. This finding is supported by model calculations of the MABL transformation supplemented with the SAR backscatter calculations based on the CMOD4 model. In addition an empirical dependence of the SAR contrasts over the upwelling region on the wind speed and the SST drop is suggested. Finally, surface slicks accumulated in the sea surface current convergence zones generate additional distinct features in SAR imagery. This effect is interpreted within the framework of the coastal current circulation model based on analysis of the SST snapshot.     

CYGNSS海面风速固有误差与时空分布特征

全球导航卫星系统反射测量（GNSS-R）是一种新兴的海面风速遥感技术,对GNSS-R反演风速进行详细定量分析是该技术从科学研究走向业务应用的必要条件。 以气旋全球导航卫星系统（CYGNSS）的风速数据为例,利用时空匹配的浮标风速和欧洲中期天气预报中心（ECMWF）的预报风速数据,详细分析了CYGNSS遥感风速的气候态特征和时空分布特征。基于三配对数据分析方法,阐明了CYGNSS遥感风速的固有误差,并提出了相应的风速标定系数。研究表明:GYGNSS的中低风速（w <10 m·s–1）精度较好,但高风速的误差显著增大;风速误差具有良好的时间一致性,但呈现明显的空间分布不均匀现象;总体而言,CYGNSS风速的固有误差约为1.79 m·s–1。研究结果一方面可为CYGNSS风速数据的业务应用提供参考,另一方面也为进一步标定CYGNSS的反射测量信号提供依据。      

Interannual variability of the zonal sea surface slope in the equatorial Atlantic during the 1990s

Altimetry data have proven themselves essential for the early detection, analysis and monitoring of large scale tropical anomalies associated with El Niño in the Pacific. Warm events in the Atlantic are much weaker than in the Pacific and are partially masked by the strong seasonal cycle. Satellite altimetric data permits one to estimate the zonal sea surface slope variations at the equator in the Atlantic with sufficient accuracy for resolving interannual sea surface slope variations. The altimetry-derived slope is here shown to detect Atlantic warm events. For all warm events, anomalies in sea surface slope tend to lead SST. In the mid-1990s’, the equatorial interannual variability is dominated by 17-month period events which exhibit the structure observed in local coupled ocean–atmosphere warm events (zonal wind stress weakening and zonal surface slope relaxation, warm SST, excess precipitation). The frequency of occurrence of these Atlantic warm events is seen to have increased during the mid-1990s.     

International comparison of satellite winds — An update

Winds obtained from geostationary satellites are compared with each other and with rawinsondes. These comparisons serve as a periodic quality check of satellite cloud motions (or winds) set up by the CGMS (Coordination for Geostationary Meteorological Satellites). Differences are taken between colocated cloud motions observed by adjacent satellites in areas of overlapping coverage (Type 1) and between colocated rawinsondes and cloud motions within the field of view of each individual satellite (Type 2).Among colocated satellite winds (Type 1) RMS vector difference of high clouds rarely exceed 10 mps and of low clouds, 6 mps. But, among colocated cloud and balloon vectors (Type 2), RMS vector differences are large. At high levels, differences range from 12 to 40 mps for GMS (Geostationary Meteorological Satellite) winds and from 10 to 18 mps for GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) winds. The greater disagreement of satellite winds with rawinsonde winds than with each other is attributed in large part to error in the assignment of cloud height especially in the presence of strong vertical shear and to a lesser extent on time differences between cloud and balloon measurements. Both Type 1 and 2 comparisons suffer from separations in distance (tolerated for purposes of establishing “colocation”) between cloud and balloon in the presence of strong horizontal shear. The discrepancy existing between GMS and GOES differences with rawinsondes is attributed primarily to differing techniques of height assignment.At low levels satellite winds departed from balloon winds by a RMS vector difference of about 6 to 9 mps which approached or exceeded the mean wind speed itself. This problem is attributed chiefly to the uncertainty of wind levels controlling the motion of the various low cloud types.

The compatability of cloud tracked winds from the United States,European, and Japanese geostationary satellites

Overlap of coverage of the five geostationary satellites has allowed an intercomparison of the FGGE cloud tracked winds. No attempt was made during FGGE to standardize the cloud tracking techniques. In spite of this potential for differences between data sets, the compatability of the various cloud wind data sets was generally quite good. The vector magnitude differences between nearly co-located vectors showed similar cumulative frequency statistics for all data producers. A study of systematic biases which could affect a global wind analysis of any given synoptic period showed that image alignment errors caused less than 2 m s^?1 bias for all data producers except the NESS high level winds which had an average bias of slightly greater than 3 m s^?1. This appears to be caused by the manual alignment of images in the movie loops. Height bias studies showed the Japanese winds to be higher than other data producers by as much as 100 mb for both the high and low levels winds. Height biases appear to be caused by the differences in cloud wind height assignment procedures.
