Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of atmospheric environment monitoring technology, and in particular to a high-precision inversion method for vertical dust flux based on laser radar. Background Art

[0002] Dust aerosols are an important component of the global atmospheric composition. The vertical flux of dust is a key parameter that describes the vertical transport process of dust particles in the atmosphere. It is of great significance for understanding the source, sink, and transport mechanism of dust and its impact on the atmospheric radiation balance.

[0003] At present, the measurement of vertical dust flux mainly relies on traditional ground observation stations. These methods have limitations such as poor spatial representativeness, low temporal resolution, and inability to obtain vertical distribution information. Although satellite remote sensing can provide large-scale dust distribution information, its vertical resolution is limited, and it is difficult to accurately obtain detailed information of the near-surface layer. Although numerical models can simulate the dust transport process, the uncertainty of the model parameterization scheme is large, and high-quality observation data is needed for verification and improvement.

[0004] As an active remote sensing method, lidar technology has the advantages of high temporal and spatial resolution and the ability to obtain vertical profile information, providing a new technical approach for the accurate measurement of vertical dust flux. However, existing lidar inversion methods mostly focus on the measurement of dust concentration, and there are still technical challenges in the quantitative inversion of vertical dust flux, including: limited accuracy in dust particle identification, difficulty in obtaining wind field information, and insufficient uncertainty quantification.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a high-precision inversion method for dust vertical flux based on lidar to meet the actual needs of atmospheric environment monitoring and climate research. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 The figure shows a flow chart of the high-precision inversion method of dust vertical flux based on lidar of the present invention. The atmospheric scattering signal is obtained by a multi-wavelength polarization lidar system. After signal preprocessing, particle identification, wind field inversion, mass concentration calculation and flux fusion, high-precision quantitative measurement of the vertical transmission flux of dust particles in the atmosphere is achieved.

[0031] The specific steps include: Step S1: Use a three-wavelength polarization lidar system with working wavelengths of 355nm, 532nm and 1064nm to emit laser pulses into the atmosphere and receive backscattered echo signals from atmospheric aerosol particles; perform distance correction, background noise subtraction and signal smoothing on the original echo signals to obtain backscattering coefficient and depolarization ratio profile data at different wavelengths and polarization states.

[0032] The three-wavelength polarization lidar system uses an Nd:YAG laser as its light source, generating 355nm ultraviolet light and 532nm visible light through frequency doubling technology, with 1064nm as the fundamental frequency. The system transmits 50mJ at 355nm, 100mJ at 532nm, and 200mJ at 1064nm, with a repetition rate of 20Hz. The receiving system uses a Cassegrain telescope with a 300mm aperture and a 1200mm focal length, equipped with a polarization beam splitter to enable simultaneous detection of parallel and perpendicular polarization components. The distance correction formula is: ,in, is the atmospheric molecular attenuation coefficient.

[0033] The working principle of the three-wavelength polarization lidar system is based on the differences in scattering characteristics of particles of different sizes due to different wavelengths; the 355nm ultraviolet wavelength is sensitive to fine particles and can effectively detect submicron dust particles; the 532nm visible light wavelength is the standard detection wavelength with good signal-to-noise ratio and stability; the 1064nm near-infrared wavelength is sensitive to coarse particles and helps to identify large-sized dust particles; distance correction compensates for the geometric diffusion loss of the laser during propagation and is corrected according to the inverse square law of distance; background noise subtraction estimates the noise level through the statistical characteristics of long-distance signals and uses an adaptive threshold method to eliminate noise interference; the signal smoothing process uses a sliding average algorithm for time smoothing with a window length of 30s, and spatial smoothing uses a vertical resolution of 7.5m; for example, in dust observations in a certain area, the signal-to-noise ratio of the preprocessed signal can be increased by 3-5 times.

[0034] Step S2, based on the multi-wavelength backscattering coefficient ratio, depolarization ratio and signal gradient optical characteristic parameters, construct a multi-dimensional feature vector space to distinguish dust particles from non-dust components in the atmosphere, and realize the positioning and boundary identification of the dust layer.

[0036] The support vector machine classifier uses a support vector machine with a radial basis function kernel for binary classification, and the decision function is: ;in, is the Gaussian radial basis kernel function, is the kernel width parameter, which controls the complexity of the decision boundary, , is the Lagrange multiplier, which only supports the vector corresponding to ; is the training sample label, +1 represents dust particles, and -1 represents non-dust components; is the bias parameter, is the total number of support vectors.

[0037] The training samples of the support vector machine classifier come from lidar observation data under known sandstorm events and clean atmosphere conditions. Sample annotation is carried out in combination with synchronous PM10 ground observations, satellite remote sensing and backward trajectory analysis. The number of sandstorm samples is no less than 5,000, and the number of non-sandstorm samples is no less than 10,000. The support vector machine training adopts 10-fold cross-validation, and the classification accuracy reaches more than 95%.

The wavelength-dependent model takes into account the intrinsic optical properties of dust mineral components (such as quartz and feldspar) and can accurately describe the refractive index changes in the visible-near-infrared band.
