AQUA卫星的MODIS和AMSR-E反演的印度洋北部海域海表温度特征对比分析

Retrieved sea surface temperature analysis of MODIS and AMSR-E aboard AQUA satellite for the northern Indian Ocean

以印度洋北部海域为研究区域,分别从地理位置、温度曲线和反演精度3个方面对AQUA卫星上的MODIS和AMSR-E反演的海表温度特征进行了对比分析。其主要特征表现为MODIS SST与AMSR-E SST之间的差异随纬度变化较为明显;在近岸区域,AMSR-E SST无法获得准确的海表面温度;MODIS SST与AMSR-E SST之间的差异随温度而不同;在本次研究中,AMSR-E SST反演精度总体优于MODIS SST。本次研究结果对利用热红外遥感和被动微波遥感进行海洋表面温度的定量反演具有重要的参考价值。

In this paper, the northern Indian Ocean served as the study area. Characteristics of sea surface temperature retrieved from MODIS and AMSR-E sensor aboard AQUA satellite were analyzed from three aspects, namely, the location,the temperature curve and the inversion accuracy. The main characteristics showed that the difference of MODIS SST and the AMSR-E SST changed with the latitude obviously; AMSR-E SST failed to offer accurate sea surface temperature in the coastal region; the diversity of MODIS SST and AMSR-E SST changed with the temperature differences. In this paper, the retrieval accuracy of AMSR-E SST was often better than that of MODIS SST. The result of this study had important reference to the sea surface temperature quantitative inversion using the thermal infrared and passive microwave remote sensing technology.
