激光雷达反演参数k值的研究

采用532 nm激光雷达2006年在兰州市不同天气状况下的观测数据,结合能见度因子、CE318太阳光度计观测数据,对利用Klett法求解时,k在不同天气状况下的取值进行了初步研究,结果表明:只有当0.7≤k≤1.0时,气溶胶消光系数的大小与能见度估算出的值相接近。但在k=0.7时,计算出的气溶胶消光系数正、负参半;k=1.0时,消光系数廓线在晴天无云的天气状况下同实际情况不符。通过进一步分析研究激光雷达和光度计的同期观测资料发现:k=0.8时,较合理的数据所占比例为100%,k=0.9为84%,k=1.0仅为12%。对兰州市区而言,利用激光雷达分析气溶胶光学特性时,取k=0.8或k=0.9较为合理。     

基于切比雪夫方法的多普勒激光雷达高空风场垂直探测精度的评估分析

多普勒测风激光雷达是目前探测晴空风场精细结构的重要遥感手段之一。中国第一部车载多普勒激光雷达已经在中国气象局气象探测中心进行准业务化运行。综述了国内外非相干多普勒激光雷达技术发展概况,介绍了多普勒激光雷达风廓线探测方法,分析了测风数据误差。并以2008年9月24—28日,神舟七号飞船回收气象保障试验期间测风数据为例,对多普勒激光雷达风廓线探测进行评估分析。多普勒激光雷达测风数据与神七飞船主着陆场附近的探空资料和北京数值预报同化资料进行对比的结果表明,多普勒激光雷达的测风数据时空分辨率高,是一种可信的高精度大气风场探测手段。为了消除多普勒激光雷达的测风数据较大的高频随机误差,采用切比雪夫多项式正交展开滤波方法得到的低通分量,更好地揭示了在垂直方向上较大空间尺度波动的大气风场信息。利用这一方法对多普勒测风激光雷达测风数据进行质量控制,用于较大尺度的数值预报模式,可以提高初值场同化的效果。而滤波分析分离出的高通分量,尽管主要是高频随机误差,但其中振幅较大的高频分量也许揭示了大气风场更小尺度的波动,这需要有更多的观测事实和更进一步的分析来判定。

A New Method for Aerosol Retrieval Based on Lidar Observations in Beijing

Lidar has been used extensively in the area of atmospheric aerosol measurement. Two unknowns at the reference altitude, the lidar ratio and the backscatter coefficient, need to be resolved from the lidar equation. In the actual application, these two values are difficult to obtain, particularly the backscatter coefficient. To better characterize the optical properties of aerosols, optical thickness, and attenuated backscatter obtained by other instruments are usually used as the input for joint inversion. However, this method is limited by location and time. In this study, the authors propose a new method for aerosol retrieval by using Mie scatter- ing lidar data to solve this problem. The authors take the horizontal aerosol extinction coefficient as the con- straint to begin the iteration until a self-consistent aerosol vertical profile was obtained. By comparing their results with Aerosol Robotic Network （AERONET） data, the authours determine that the aerosol extinction coefficient obtained by combining horizontal and vertical lidar observations is more pre- cise than that obtained by using the traditional Fernald method. This new method has been adopted for re- trieving the extinction coefficient of aerosols during the observation days.

Lidar Methods for Observing Mineral Dust

Lidar methods for observing mineral dust aerosols are reviewed.These methods include Mie scattering lidars,polarization lidars,Raman scattering lidars,high-spectral-resolution lidars,and fluorescence lidars.Some of the lidar systems developed by the authors and the results of the observations and applications are introduced.The largest advantage of the lidar methods is that they can observe vertical distribution of aerosols continuously with high temporal and spatial resolutions.Networks of ground-based lidars provide useful data for understanding the distribution and movement of mineral dust and other aerosols.The lidar network data are actually used for validation and assimilation of dust transport models,which can evaluate emission,transport,and deposition of mineral dust.The lidar methods are also useful for measuring the optical characteristics of aerosols that are essential to assess the radiative effects of aerosols.Evolution of the lidar data analysis methods for aerosol characterization is also reviewed.Observations from space and ground-based networks are two important approaches with the lidar methods in the studies of the effects of mineral dust and other aerosols on climate and the environment.Directions of the researches with lidar methods in the near future are discussed.     

Indo-Japanese Lidar Observations of the Tropical Middle Atmosphere During 1998 and 1999

A state-of-the art Rayleigh and Mie backscattering lidar was set up at Gadanki (13.5N, 79.2E) in the Tropics in India. Using this system, regular observations of upper tropospheric clouds, aerosols at stratospheric heights and atmospheric temperatures in the range from 30 to 80 km were made. In this paper, the data collected during the period of 1998–99 were selected for systematic investigation and presentation. The Mie scattering lidar system is capable of measuring the degree of depolarization in the laser backscattering. Several tropical cirrus cloud structures have been identified with low to moderate ice content. Occasionally, thin sub-visible cirrus clouds in the vicinity of the tropical tropopause have also been detected. The aerosol measurements in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere show low aerosol content with a vertical distribution up to 35 km altitude. Rayleigh-scattering lidar observations reveal that at the tropical site, temperature inversion occurs at mesospheric heights. Atmospheric waves have induced perturbations in the temperatures for several times at the upper stratospheric heights. A significant warming in the lower mesosphere associated with a consistent cooling in the upper stratospheric heights is observed particularly in the winter season during the events of sudden stratospheric warming (SSW).

Airborne and lidar measurements of aerosol and cloud particles in the troposphere over Alert Canada in April 1986

As a component of the Canadian Arctic Haze Study, held coincident with the second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP II), vertical profiles of aerosol size distribution (0.17 m), light scattering parameters and cloud particle concentrations were obtained with an instrumented aircraft and ground-based lidar system during April 1986 at Alert. Northwest Territories. Average aerosol number concentrations range from about 200 cm^–3 over the Arctic ice cap to about 100 cm^–3 at 6 km. The aerosol size spectrum is virtually free of giant or coarse aerosol particles, and does not vary significantly with altitude. Most of the aerosol volume is concentrated in the 0.17–0.50 m size range, and the aerosol number concentration is found to be a good surrogate for the SO₄ ⁼ concentration of the Arctic haze aerosol. Comparison of the aircraft and lidar data show that, when iced crystal scattering is excluded, the aerosol light scattering coefficient and the lidar backscattering coefficient are proportional to the Arctic haze aerosol concentration. Ratios of scattering to backscattering, scattering to aerosol number concentration, and backscattering to aerosol number concentration are 15.3 steradians, 1.1×10^–13 m², and 4.8×10^–15 m² sr^–1, respectively. Aerosol scattering coefficients calculated from the measured size distributions using Mie scattering agree well with measured values. The calculations indicate the aerosol absorption optical depth over 6 km to range between 0.011 and 0.018. The presence of small numbers of ice crystals (10–20 crystals 1^–1 measured) increased light scattering by over a factor of ten.

拉曼雷达重叠函数的模拟与校准

重叠函数的校准对地基激光雷达低空大气探测的准确性至关重要。目前被广泛用于校准拉曼激光雷达重叠函数的双通道实验标定法,需要满足弹性散射通道与氮气拉曼散射通道的重叠函数近似相等的前置条件。但实际仪器光路往往会偏离理想状态,使得该前置条件无法得到满足,导致校准失败。本文使用光线追踪法模拟重叠函数,计算了各种光路失调情况下弹性散射通道与氮气拉曼散射通道的比值,并引入了一种镜头遮蔽实验来评估双通道实验标定法的前置条件是否得到满足。数值模拟结果表明,当雷达接收面的不同象限被遮蔽时,如果弹性散射通道与氮气通道的信号强度比值基本保持不变,则满足前置条件;如果弹性散射通道与氮气通道的信号强度比值有显著差异,则可判定仪器光学系统失调,需要调整直至满足上述前置条件时才能使用双通道实验标定法标定。利用该方法对南京市气象局安装的拉曼激光雷达进行了光路测评和调整,并与CCD(charge-coupled device)侧向成像激光雷达观测信号做对比,结果显示调整后的定标效果更好。
