Impact of rain on wave retrieval from Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar images in tropical cyclones

The main objective of our work was to investigate the impact of rain on wave observations from C-band (~5.3 GHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in tropical cyclones. In this study, 10 Sentinel-1 SAR images were available from the Satellite Hurricane Observation Campaign, which were taken under cyclonic conditions during the 2016 hurricane season. The third-generation wave model, known as Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) (version 41.31), was used to simulate the wave fields corresponding to these Sentinel-1 SAR images. In addition, rainfall data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite passing over the spatial coverage of the Sentinel-1 SAR images were collected. The simulated results were validated against significant wave heights (SWHs) from the Jason-2 altimeter and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts data, revealing a root mean square error (RMSE) of ~0.5 m with a 0.25 scatter index. Winds retrieved from the VH-polarized Sentinel-1 SAR images using the Sentinel-1 Extra Wide-swath Mode Wind Speed Retrieval Model after Noise Removal were taken as prior information for wave retrieval. It was discovered that rain did indeed affect the SAR wave retrieval, as evidenced by the 3.21-m RMSE of SWHs between the SAR images and the SWAN model, which was obtained for the ~1000 match-ups with raindrops. The raindrops dampened the wave retrieval when the rain rate was < ~5 mm/hr; however, they enhanced wave retrieval for higher rain rates. It was also found that the portion of the rain-induced ring wave with a wave number > 0.05 rad/m (~125 m wavelength) was clearly observed in the SAR-derived wave spectra.

IL-E2线阵遥感相机的研制和TDI分析

针对低照度、高速物体测量等应用场合,介绍了一款高灵敏度的线阵相机的研制方案,相机的线阵CCD芯片采用DALSA公司的IL-E2 ,它具有96级TDI功能,灵敏度比一般的线阵CCD相机提高了约20倍,大幅度提高了相机的整体响应水平,通过试验,得出结论,TDI性能的良好发挥必需依靠图像与TDI数据流精确的同步,即使10%的失步也会造成相机灵敏度的严重退化,因此在精确控制像速度的情况下,更适合作为一款遥感相机来使用.     

冕环中扭转Alfvén波和快波的耦合共振

推广完备正交函数系(OFSE)展开方法,应用它研究冕环中无耗散扭转Alfven波和快波耦合的时变过程.采用这种方法,从数学上描述了总体波模的固有角频率,从理论和数值计算结果两方面分析了Alfven波和快波耦合时冕环中磁力线Alfven波固有角频率.采用这种方法,分析了耦合驱动项和Alfven波共振的关系.计算结果给出了耦合共振出现位置Alfven波和快波的波幅特征,发现如果足点驱动角频率不等于冕环总体波模的固有角频率,在耦合共振位置当扭转Alfven波幅出现δ断面时,快波振幅沿径向梯度很大,有时近似为一个间断,非常有利于快波耗散;如果足点驱动角频率等于总有体波模的固有角频率,Alfvn波振幅出现δ断面时在径向出现丰富的小尺度结构,共振位置近似为一个间断,非常有利于Alfven波耗散.
