Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of remote sensing, in particular to a cloud top height inversion method based on a satellite three-line array CCD image. Background technique
[0002] Cloud top height information can be obtained through active or passive remote sensing. In active remote sensing, the millimeter-wave cloud measuring radar CloudSat can accurately detect the height of cloud tops, but its detection range is small. In passive remote sensing, cloud top height retrieval methods mainly include approximation method, climatology method, window channel temperature method, multi-channel cloud height measurement, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) multi-channel method, stereo observation method, etc. When the first five methods invert cloud top heights, indirect measurements such as cloud emissivity and atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles are needed. The errors of these measurements will have a great impact on the inversion accuracy of c...
