太赫兹云雷达 最优估计 反演 云微物理参数 THz-band cloud profiling radar optimal estimation theory retrieval cloud microphysical parameters
摘要
利用太赫兹云雷达的外场观测数据, 分析了观测时间段内的雷达回波特征; 基于最优估计理论, 研究太赫兹云雷达的液态云微物理参数反演算法, 反演得到液态云的微物理参数, 包括有效粒子半径、液态水含量、粒子数浓度和分布宽度参数。外场观测数据用例属于低云, 云层结构较稳定, 云类为层云或层积云, 云底和云顶回波较弱。反演结果与相关文献中的云微物理参数统计值基本相符, 在回波强度较大的区域有效粒子半径较大, 液态水含量较高, 云中粒子数浓度呈现随高度增加逐渐减小的趋势。
Abstract
The characteristics of THz-band cloud profiling radar experimental results are analyzed. Based on the optimal estimation theory, the characteristic of liquid cloud microphysical parameters, including effective radius, liquid water content, number density and distribution width parameter are retrieved. The observed cases are strat or stratocumulus, which belong to low cloud and have stable cloud structure, with relatively weak radar reflectivity at cloud bottom and top. The retrieval results are basically consistent with the statistical values of cloud microphysical parameters in the relevant literature. The effective radius is larger in the region with larger radar reflectivity, and the liquid water content is higher. The number density shows a trend of decreasing with height.
