利用空间外差光谱技术进行紫外高分辨率大气散射信号探测

羟基OH对于人类理解中间层化学成分非常重要,它是大气光化学反应中重要的氧化剂,OH在308 nm波段受到太阳能量激发,发射出OH A2Σ＋-X２Π（0,0）荧光信号。为了探测中间层大气中OH自由基的紫外共振荧光发射信号,从复杂背景信号中分离目标信号,研制了中高层大气OH自由基超分辨空间外差光谱仪,光谱范围为308.2～309.8 nm,光谱分辨率为0.008 25 nm。临边观测主要探测大气散射信号,能量来源为大气中的粒子,包括大气分子与气溶胶、云等对太阳能量的散射作用。中高层大气OH自由基超分辨空间外差光谱仪基于空间外差光谱技术,可以在设计的闪耀波长范围内获得极高的光谱分辨率,适用于大气成分的精细探测。通过在前置或后置光学系统中加入柱面镜,总视场内的场景被分成多个视场切片,每一个视场切片的干涉图分别成像到对应的探测器行上。利用空间外差光谱仪具有空间维分层成像功能,临边观测时可以同时获取不同高度层大气吸收光谱的散射辐射信号,无需像传统临边探测遥感器在不同高度层进行扫描来获取大气高度维的廓线信息。为了验证中高层大气OH自由基超分辨空间外差光谱仪的临边散射信号探测能力与对观测几何的敏感性,进行了地面临边观测实验,探测紫外308 nm波段大气散射信号。模拟临边观测几何,选取晴朗无云的一天,在空旷场地对大气散射信号进行观测。由于仪器基于空间外差光谱技术,需要对干涉数据进行干涉误差修正与光谱复原。对一段观测时间内间隔10分钟的干涉数据进行光谱复原并定标,得到最终临边观测光谱。由于散射信号的主要来源为大气分子对太阳光的散射作用,因此光谱中应包含太阳光谱高分辨率精细特征信息。从高分辨率太阳光谱中选取三个特征信息窗,分析观测光谱中对应波段,三个特征信息窗完全匹配,验证了中高层大气OH自由基超分辨空间外差光谱仪的超高分辨率光谱探测能力和光谱精细信息提取能力。将太阳辐射计实时测量获得的气溶胶光学厚度及根据观测时间计算的太阳天顶角与太阳方位角输入辐射传输模型SCIATRAN,结合对应日期与经纬度的大气廓线数据库,得到模拟光谱,将实测结果与辐射传输模型结果进行比对,两者残差较小。实测结果与模拟结果存在的残差,可能是由于大气环境参数并没有完全符合实测状态,后续可使用当地实时温湿压廓线对模拟数据库进行替换,使辐射传输模型更接近实际状态。与辐射传输模型对比的结果验证了中高层大气OH自由基超分辨空间外差光谱仪的散射信号探测能力与对观测几何的敏感性,验证了在轨探测多谱段、宽谱段大气散射光谱与OH目标信号的可行性,为在轨探测OH目标信号提供了理论与实验基础。

Passive remote sensing of planetary atmospheres and retrievals of atmospheric macro- and microphysical parameters

In two recent papers, referred to as Paper 1 and Paper 2 in the main text, we have pursued an idea that atmospheric weighting functions for any geophysical parameters essentially consist of two kinds of entities: weighting functions for the atmospheric radiative parameters, which directly enter the radiative transfer equation, and partial derivatives of the atmospheric radiative parameters with respect to atmospheric geophysical parameters. Corresponding analysis was performed for non-scattering and scattering planetary atmospheres for nadir-viewing geometry and thermal spectral region. In the present paper we conduct a study of the second group of above entities, the partial derivatives of atmospheric radiative parameters with respect to atmospheric geophysical parameters. Along the way, we analyze the role of radiative parameters of individual atmospheric constituents, which serve as intermediaries between the total radiative parameters of the atmosphere and its geophysical parameters. The obtained expressions, combined with radiative weighting functions, are used in the end-to-end expressions for the weighting functions obtained for various specific geophysical parameters.     

Evaluation method for radiative heat transfer in polydisperse water droplets

Simplifications of the model for nongray radiative heat transfer analysis in participating media comprised of polydisperse water droplets are presented. Databases of the radiative properties for a water droplet over a wide range of wavelengths and diameters are constructed using rigorous Mie theory. The accuracy of the radiative properties obtained from the database interpolation is validated by comparing them with those obtained from the Mie calculations. The radiative properties of polydisperse water droplets are compared with those of monodisperse water droplets with equivalent mean diameters. Nongray radiative heat transfer in the anisotropic scattering fog layer, including direct and diffuse solar irradiations and infrared sky flux, is analyzed using REM². The radiative heat fluxes within the fog layer containing polydisperse water droplets are compared with those in the layer containing monodisperse water droplets. Through numerical simulation of the radiative heat transfer, polydisperse water droplets can be approximated by using the Sauter diameter, a technique that can be useful in several research fields, such as engineering and atmospheric science. Although this approximation is valid in the case of pure radiative transfer problems, the Sauter diameter is reconfirmed to be the appropriate diameter for approximating problems in radiative heat transfer, although volume-length mean diameter shows better accordance in some cases. The CPU time for nongray radiative heat transfer analysis with a fog model is evaluated. It is proved that the CPU time is decreased by using the databases and the approximation method for polydisperse particulate media.     

Matrix formulations of radiative transfer including the polarization effect in a coupled atmosphere-ocean system

A vector radiative transfer model has been developed for a coupled atmosphere-ocean system. The radiative transfer scheme is based on the discrete ordinate and matrix operator methods. The reflection/transmission matrices and source vectors are obtained for each atmospheric or oceanic layer through the discrete ordinate solution. The vertically inhomogeneous system is constructed using the matrix operator method, which combines the radiative interaction between the layers. This radiative transfer scheme is flexible for a vertically inhomogeneous system including the oceanic layers as well as the ocean surface. Compared with the benchmark results, the computational error attributable to the radiative transfer scheme has been less than 0.1% in the case of eight discrete ordinate directions. Furthermore, increasing the number of discrete ordinate directions has produced computations with higher accuracy. Based on our radiative transfer scheme, simulations of sun glint radiation have been presented for wavelengths of 670 nm and 1.6 μm. Results of simulations have shown reasonable characteristics of the sun glint radiation such as the strongly peaked, but slightly smoothed radiation by the rough ocean surface and depolarization through multiple scattering by the aerosol-loaded atmosphere. The radiative transfer scheme of this paper has been implemented to the numerical model named Pstar as one of the OpenCLASTR/STAR radiative transfer code systems, which are widely applied to many radiative transfer problems, including the polarization effect.     

Verification of numerical simulation method for entropy generation of radiation heat transfer in semitransparent medium

The numerical simulation method of radiative entropy generation in participating media presented by Caldas and Semiao [Entropy generation through radiative transfer in participating media: analysis and numerical computation. JQSRT 2005;96:423-37] is extended to analyze the radiative entropy generation in the enclosures filled with semitransparent media. A discrete ordinates method is used to solve radiative transfer equation and radiative entropy generation. Two different examples are employed to verify the numerical simulation method of radiative entropy generation in the enclosure. Numerical results of dimensionless radiative entropy generation of enclosure are identical to that of entire thermodynamics analysis for the enclosure system. This numerical simulation method can be used in the entropy generation analysis of high-temperature systems such as boilers and furnaces, in which radiation is the dominant mode of heat transfer.

Radiative transfer through inhomogeneous turbid media: implementation of the adjoint perturbation approach at the first order

Recently, the advantages of application of the perturbation technique which is based on joint use of both the direct and adjoint solutions of the radiative transfer equation to solve and analyze some 1D problems of atmospheric physics has been demonstrated. In this paper this technique is applied to problems of radiative transfer through spatially inhomogeneous scattering and absorbing media. This technique is shown to allow one both to obtain the solution with reasonable accuracy and to get physical insight into the problem under consideration. The accuracy of the perturbation technique is demonstrated through comparison with results from the SHDOM simulation code for one problem of cloud optics.     

Layer-edge conditions for multislab atmospheric radiative transfer problems

We derive nonstandard layer-edge conditions for efficient solution of multislab atmospheric radiative transfer problems. We begin by defining a local radiative transfer problem on the lowermost layer of a multislab model atmosphere and we consider a standard discrete ordinates version of this local problem. We then make use of a recently developed computational method in order to derive layer-edge conditions involving incident, reflected and transmitted radiation. These layer-edge conditions for the lowermost layer are given in terms of inherent optical properties of the layer, the solar zenith angle and the quadrature set used in the discrete ordinates approach. They can be used to increase the efficiency of our computational method in solving practical problems in atmospheric radiative transfer. Moreover, they are amenable to incorporation into other discrete ordinates methods. To illustrate, we report numerical results for two atmospheric model problems.     

Finite element method for the two-dimensional atmospheric radiative transfer

The finite element method is applied to the solution of the two-dimensional atmospheric radiative transfer. The analysis is mainly focussed on the derivation of the cell or element equation. The Galerkin method and several hybrid methods using the integral and finite difference form of the radiative transfer equation are employed to obtain the cell equation. The assembled system of equations relating the radiances at the lower and upper boundary of the domain is solved by a direct method.
