FY-3D MWHS-II在轨交叉辐射定标

      Intercalibration of the Microwave Humidity Sounder-II On Fengyun 3D

      • 摘要: 本文以搭载在美国索米国家极地轨道伙伴(Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership, S-NPP)卫星上的先进技术微波探空仪(The Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder, ATMS)作为辐射基准仪器,用双差异(Double Difference, DD)方法对风云三号D星(Fengyun 3D, FY-3D)搭载的微波湿度计-II型(The Microwave Humidity Sounder-II, MWHS-II)进行在轨交叉辐射定标。首先,构建了微波辐射传输模型(Radiative Transfer Model, RTM);其次,收集了 2022 年全年MWHS-II与 ATMS 海洋与陆地区域匹配观测数据点;然后,模拟了MWHS-II与ATMS各通道大气顶载荷入瞳处观测亮温,根据匹配的观测值和模拟值计算了 DD 值和 FY-3D MWHS-II的理论观测值;最后,对MWHS-II 各通道的校准偏差进行了校正。结果表明,本文构建的辐射传输模型有效且精确。在 2022 年 6 月,FY-3D MWHS-II通道 1 及 10~15 的辐射定标偏差分别为 -1.93±5.13 K、-3.89±1.40 K、-2.80±1.00 K、-1.03±0.97 K、-0.42±1.11 K、1.53±0.82 K 和 -0.87±1.31 K。在整个 2022 年中,MWHS-II 各通道的校准偏差总体保持稳定:对于 MWHS-II 通道 1 及 10~15,连续两个月之间的最大变化分别为 1.42 K、0.30 K、0.31 K、0.36 K、0.43 K、0.37 K 和 0.39 K,而全年的最大变化分别为 2.03 K、0.39 K、0.37 K、0.38 K、0.53 K、0.60 K 和 0.63 K。FY-3D MWHS-II的在轨定标偏差得到了有效修正。

         

        Abstract: This paper presents the evaluation and correction of the on-orbit calibration biases of the Microwave Humidity Sounder II (MWHS-II) aboard Fengyun 3D (FY-3D) against the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) using the double difference method. First, a microwave radiative transfer model (RTM) and a calibration bias correction method are developed. Then, the matching observations in the year of 2022 between the MWHS-II and the ATMS are collected over both sea surfaces and land surfaces. Next, The simulated brightness temperatures for both MWHS-II and ATMS channels were computed. Based on the matched observational and simulated values, the double differences (DD) and the theoretical observations for FY-3D MWHS-II were then calculated. Finally, the calibration biases in the MWHS-II channels are corrected. The results show that the RTM constructed in this work is valid and basically accurate. In June of 2022, the calibration biases in FY-3D MWHS-II channels 1, 10~15 are -1.93±5.13 K, -3.89±1.40 K, -2.80±1.00 K, -1.03±0.97 K, -0.42±1.11 K, 1.53±0.82 K, and -0.87±1.31 K, respectively. In the whole year of 2022, the calibration biases in the MWHS-II channels are generally stable: in the MWHS-II channels 1, 10~15, the maximum variations in two consecutive months are 1.42 K, 0.30 K, 0.31 K, 0.36 K, 0.43 K, 0.37 K, and 0.39 K, respectively, while the maximum variations in the year are 2.03 K, 0.39 K, 0.37 K, 0.38 K, 0.53 K, 0.60 K, and 0.63 K, respectively. The results indicate that the on-orbit calibration biases of FY-3D MWHS-II are corrected against S-NPP ATMS.
