SPEC机载云探测系统及其云物理研究进展

SPEC airborne cloud detection system and its cloud physics research progress

在综合介绍我国机载云探测系统的发展历程、应用情况和优缺点的基础上,对新一代机载云探测系统SPEC的系统组成、探测原理、探测方法和探测范围等进行了详细说明,并探讨了近年来国内外相关研究进展。随着科学研究人员对云探测精细程度、准确度要求的日益提高,以往使用的粒子观测系统(PMS)等云探测系统已无法满足一些科学试验的需求;SPEC与很多其他云探测系统相比,在精密程度、探测粒子的信息量、分辨率等方面具有很大的探测优势,这对于云物理更深入的研究是非常重要的。国外研发并应用SPEC系统已有几十年的时间,而我国近年开始引进并越来越多地使用这套探测系统来探究云的宏微观物理特性,这必将使得对云物理的理解更加深入。

Based on a comprehensive introduction of the development history,application situation,advantages and disadvantages of China's airborne cloud detection systems,this paper gives a detailed description of the system composition,detection principle,detection method and detection range of the new generation of airborne cloud detection system SPEC and discusses the recent domestic and foreign research pro⁃gresses.With the increasing requirements by scientific community on the precision and accuracy of cloud detection,cloud detection systems such as particle measurement system(PMS)used in the past have been unable to meet the needs of some scientific experiments.Compared to many other cloud detection systems,SPEC has great detection advantages in terms of precision,information amount and resolution of detect⁃ed particles.This is very important for more in-depth research on cloud physics.The SPEC system has been developed and applied abroad for decades,and China has introduced it recently and applied this detection system more and more to explore the macro-and microphysical cloud characteristics,which will definitely help us better understand the cloud physics.
