利用COSMIC掩星资料计算平流层大气风场方法分析

Analysis of Deriving Stratospheric Atmospheric Winds from COSMIC Radio Occultation Data

  • 摘要: 利用大气压强、温度、密度等与风场之间的关系,通过大气折射指数、高度及温度数据均可以推算出大气风场,选用2007年1、4、7和10月COSMIC掩星观测的压强和折射率、高度、温度等月平均数据,构建了三种推算大气风场的方法。从风场的纬度高度分布、经度纬度分布及纬圈平均纬向风在不同季节的特性等方面,将计算结果与ECMWF ERA-interim再分析风场结果进行对比,发现计算结果与模式风场基本一致,能够反映出中高纬度大气风场的变化规律,偏差随高度的增高而逐渐增大,1hPa等压面以下偏差在10m/s以内。采用不同掩星数据推算出的大气风场之间的彼此差别很小,折射率与温度资料推算的大气风场几乎相同,高度数据推算出的风场相对前两者偏差稍大,但一般不超过2m/s。

     

    Abstract: Three different calculation methods are constructed with the newly launched COSMIC/ FORMOSAT-3 system.The analysis is based on the radio occultation data sample collected the observation during Jan.,Apr.,July and Oct.2007.For the validation,the data is compared with monthly average wind data of ECMWF's ERA-interim data sets.The comparisons are done in terms of mean winds profiles for various latitudes,longitudinal-latitudinal winds variations for particular pressure level and latitude-height distributions of zonal mean winds for different seasons,and reveal excellent resemblance between the COSMIC measurements and the model outputs in stratosphere.The bias is larger in upper stratosphere than in lower stratosphere,however,the error is less than 10 m/s below 1 hPa.The differences of the three calculated winds field are very small,the winds field derived from refractive index and temperature data is nearly the same,the bias of winds derived from height is relatively larger,but the differences of error is less than 2 m/s than the two fields infered before.
