偏振氧A 带光谱气溶胶垂直剖面反演的信息量分析和灵敏度研究

为评估从偏振氧 A 带光谱中提取的气溶胶垂直剖面的信息量及提高光谱分辨率对偏振测量的气溶胶垂直剖面信息的影响, 采用线性化矢量辐射传输模型 (UNL-VRTM), 对氧 A 波段线偏振度 (DoLP) 星载测量中气溶胶垂直剖面的信息量及不同观测条件和光谱分辨率下 DoLP 的气溶胶峰高信息量变化的影响因素进行分析。研究结果表明,DoLP 所包含的气溶胶峰高的信息比辐射度更多, 辐射度的信号自由度 (DFS) 最高为 0.49, 而 DoLP 的 DFS 为 0.76; 且随着光谱分辨率的提高, 气溶胶峰高信息量增加, 对表面反射率、观测几何以及先验误差的依赖大大降低。

Information content analysis and sensitivity of retrieval ofaerosol vertical profiles using polarimetricoxygen A-band spectra

In order to evaluate the amount of vertical information on aerosol extinction profiles extracted fromthe O2 A-band polarization spectrum and the influence of improving spectral resolution on aerosol vertical profileinformation measured by polarization, the Unified Linearized Vector Radiative Transfer Model (UNL-VRTM) isused to analyze the information from satellite measurements of O2 A-band degree of linear polarization (DoLP)and the influencing factors of aerosol peak height information of DoLP under different observation conditions andspectral resolution. Simulation results show that DoLP contains more information content for aerosol peak heightthan radiation intensity, and the maximum degree of freedom of signal (DFS) of radiation intensity is 0.49, whilethe DFS of DoLP is 0.76. In addition, with the improvement of spectral resolution, the information content ofaerosol peak height increases, and the dependence on surface albedo, observation geometry and prior error is greatlyreduced.
