测云方法研究进展

Overview of Researches on Cloud Sounding Methods

定性及定量云基础参量的观测(检测)结果,对提供未来天气变化趋势的依据有着非常重要的意义。对国内外学者多年来使用的各种测云方法得出的云空间分布等情况进行了综合评述。根据不同观测手段的特点,按空基遥感、地基遥感等方法加以区分,分别对上述测云方法逐个分析并相互比较,讨论各种测云方法的利弊,为今后使用这些方法开展的各种科学研究工作提供参考,并展望未来观测研究云的可能方向。

It is very important to obtain the base parameters of clouds sounding/detecting both qualitatively and quantitatively, so to understand the future weather variation trends. The researches on the methods for sounding clouds, such as the distribution structure of clouds in the recent years, are reviewed. The researches are described according to the characteristics of different observational tools, including space- borne remote sensing, ground-based remote sensing, and so on, and the analysis and comparison are conducted. The advantages and disadvantages of the methods are discussed, which is meaningful for various scientific researches in future. Some problems that further researches in this field may be confronted in and the probable directions of the future observation research are discussed.
