风云四号双星亮温测量偏差及成因分析

Analysis of Brightness Temperature Measurement Biases and Their Contributing Factors for FY-4A and FY-4B Satellites

  • 摘要: 风云四号A星(FY-4A)和风云四号B星(FY-4B)的双星探测具有连贯性和互补性,但双星位置的差异以及不同的探测路径,导致二者实际探测结果可能不一致。本研究基于2022年6~8月双星AGRI L1级数据和云顶高度产品数据CTH,对两星的数据进行了视差订正,分析了不同云高和下垫面场景下双星热红外通道亮温的差异。研究结果表明,在双星的共同探测范围内,自西向东,FY-4A与FY-4B亮温差异由正值(FY-4A亮温更高)逐渐转变为负值。在赤道区域,亮温差值可达8 K。随着云高增高,双星亮温的均方根误差从1.63 K逐渐增大至3.06 K,且陆地上的差值高于海洋。本文基于RTTOV快速辐射传输模式,探究卫星天顶角对双星亮温差异的理论影响,模拟的双星亮温差异趋势与实际亮温差异趋势大致相同。因此,未来研究可结合上述规律对双星探测的偏差进行物理校正,实现双星探测的联合应用。

     

    Abstract: Dual-satellite observations of FY-4A and FY-4B exhibit continuity and complementarity, but differences in the satellites’ positions and observation paths may make their actual detection results inconsistent. This study, which is based on the AGRI full-disk Level 1 data and cloud top height products from dual-satellite imagers during June–August 2022, conducted parallax correction on the dual-satellite data and analyzed differences in thermal infrared channel brightness temperatures (BTs) under various cloud height scenarios and underlying surface conditions. The results showed that within the common observation area, the BT differences between FY-4A and FY-4B gradually turned positive to negative from west to east. In the equatorial region, the BT differences reached 8 K. As cloud height increases, the root mean square error of the BT differences increases from 1.63 K to 3.06 K. The differences were larger over land than over the ocean. Additionally, this study investigated the theoretical effects of satellite zenith angle on dual-satellite BT differences using the RTTOV fast radiative transfer model. Simulated BT difference trends between the satellites show broad consistency with observed empirical trends. Therefore, future research can perform physical correction on the dual-satellite observations according to these patterns, enabling joint applications of the dual-satellite data.
