微波遥感资料在热带气旋丰满度提取中的应用

Application of Microwave Remote-Sensing Data for Tropical Cyclone Fullness Extraction

  • 摘要: 热带气旋丰满度(TCF)通过量化热带气旋内核与外围尺度的配置关系来表征风暴结构,对台风业务预报具有一定的指示意义。星载微波传感器可以不受天气条件限制直接探测台风海面风,为TCF的准确提取提供了新的技术手段。本文以2023年超强台风“玛娃”为例,通过采集的星载合成孔径雷达(SAR)、散射计和辐射计等微波遥感资料建立TCF独立提取模型,并利用最佳台风路径数据集资料对提取结果进行验证。结果显示,多源星载微波传感器探测资料在TCF估算方面具有良好的适用性,与最佳台风路径数据的均方根误差(RMSE)为0.08,相关系数为0.78。虽然星载散射计(ASCAT-B和ASCAT-C)海面风场产品会对台风强度造成低估,但它对台风最大风速半径(rmax)和17 m s−1风圈半径(r17)的估算是准确的。ASCAT-B估算rmaxr17的RMSE分别为21.91 km和39.22 km,ASCAT-C则分别为16.72 km和48.82 km。本文证明了虽然微波传感器工作在不同波段以及拥有不同的空间分辨率,但是它们在TCF独立提取方面都具有较好的适用性。

     

    Abstract: Tropical cyclone fullness (TCF) is a dimensionless metric that integrates the inner- and outer-core scales of tropical cyclones to characterize storm wind structures, with particular significance for operational typhoon forecasting. Spaceborne microwave sensors offer a new technical approach to accurately extract TCFs by enabling direct observation of typhoon ocean surface winds regardless of weather conditions. Adopting super typhoon Mawar (2023) as an example, this study proposes a TCF extraction method based on the collection of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar, scatterometer, and radiometer data. Multisource spaceborne microwave sensor data estimated typhoon metrics are then comprehensively compared with best-track reports. Results show that multisource spaceborne microwave-sensor data have good applicability in TCF estimation. The root mean square error and correlation coefficient between the satellite-retrieved and best-track data are 0.08 and 0.78, respectively. Although the typhoon intensity is underestimated by the ocean wind products obtained from ASCAT-B and ASCAT-C spaceborne scatterometers, the estimates for the radius of maximum wind (rmax) and the radius of 17 m s−1 winds (r17) are accurate. The ASCAT-B measured rmax and r17 are 21.91 km and 39.22 km, respectively, with the corresponding ASCAT-C-measured values being 16.72 km and 48.82 km, respectively. This study demonstrates the independent suitability of multisource microwave sensors for TCF extraction, despite their differing frequency bands and spatial resolutions.
