Cloud Top Pressure Retrieval Using Polarized and Oxygen A-band Measurements from GF5 and PARASOL Satellites

Cloud top pressure(CTP)is one of the critical cloud properties that significantly affects the radiative effect of clouds.Multi-angle polarized sensors can employ polarized bands(490 nm)or O_(2)A-bands(763 and 765 nm)to retrieve the CTP.However,the CTP retrieved by the two methods shows inconsistent results in certain cases,and large uncertainties in low and thin cloud retrievals,which may lead to challenges in subsequent applications.This study proposes a synergistic algorithm that considers both O_(2)A-bands and polarized bands using a random forest(RF)model.LiDAR CTP data are used as the true values and the polarized and non-polarized measurements are concatenated to train the RF model to determine CTP.Additionally,through analysis,we proposed that the polarized signal becomes saturated as the cloud optical thickness(COT)increases,necessitating a particular treatment for cases where COT<10 to improve the algorithm's stability.The synergistic method was then applied to the directional polarized camera(DPC)and Polarized and Directionality of the Earth’s Reflectance(POLDER)measurements for evaluation,and the resulting retrieval accuracy of the POLDER-based measurements(RMSEPOLDER=205.176 hPa,RMSEDPC=171.141 hPa,R^(2)POLDER=0.636,R^(2)DPC=0.663,respectively)were higher than that of the MODIS and POLDER Rayleigh pressure measurements.The synergistic algorithm also showed good performance with the application of DPC data.This algorithm is expected to provide data support for atmosphere-related fields as an atmospheric remote sensing algorithm within the Cloud Application for Remote Sensing,Atmospheric Radiation,and Updating Energy(CARE)platform.

GF-5 DPC数据的云检测方法研究

高分五号(GF-5)号卫星所搭载的大气多角度偏振探测仪(DPC)能够对地球进行多波段,多角度和的连续观测,其数据对研究全球大气云分布及云辐射反馈作用提供新的视角。本文通法国多角度偏振载荷POLDER(POLarization and Directionality of the Earth’s Reflectances)云检测算法为参考,结合DPC多波段反射率、偏振反射率、表观压强等信息开发了一个适用于DPC的云检测算法。算法主要分为3个部分:首先是阈值方法对云像元进行检测,同时引入表观压强对不同高度的云(如卷云、层积云等)进行进一步的条件约束,然后利用865 nm波段偏振反射率对海表反射的太阳耀斑区进行识别,修正了反射率阈值识别云像元时受到的太阳耀斑干扰。为了验证算法的准确性,利用2018-10-01的MODIS的MOD06云掩码产品与本文云检测算法结果进行定性分析,从目视判读结果可以看出本文云检测结果与MOD06产品具有较高的吻合度;随后又利用2018-10-01—04的CALIPSO-VFM数据与本文云检测结果和MYDO6云掩码产品进行定量分析,分别计算了中低纬度区域(60°N—60°S)的云/晴空像元命中率和云/晴空像元错误预报率,计算结果显示算法云命中率均值相较MYD06云掩码产品高出13.501%的前提下云错误预报率仅高出3.561%,可表明该算法在全球中低纬度区域有着良好的云检测效果。本文提出的云检测算法,可为后续DPC的云参数、水汽、气溶胶等研究提供重要数据支撑。
