[0002] Methane is the world's second largest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Remote sensing satellites, such as the S5P / TROPOMI satellite, can retrieve methane column concentration (XCH4) data covering the globe once a day by utilizing the absorption spectral characteristics of methane in the 1.65μm or 2.3μm bands. This data can be used to conduct quantitative and attribution analyses of methane emissions from different sources.

[0020] To address the problems of existing technologies, this application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for methane emission flux analysis. In this application, methane column concentration within the target area is separated by acquiring vertical hyperspectral data and auxiliary observation data of methane in the target area. Then, spatiotemporal characteristic analysis of the methane concentration field is performed, i.e., spatiotemporal signal decoupling, avoiding the dependence on atmospheric chemical transport models in existing technologies. Simultaneously, adaptive correction of transport time is achieved through spatiotemporal orthogonal features. Energy emission source analysis is then performed on the spatiotemporal orthogonal features to infer the methane emission source type, eliminating interference from other pollutants in the target area on energy methane emission flux. This enables rapid and accurate analysis of methane emission flux and achieves highly efficient methane emission attribution calculation.

[0021] The method for analyzing methane emission flux provided in the embodiments of this application will be introduced first below.

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a methane emission flux analysis method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the methane emission flux analysis method may include S101-S104: S101, acquire vertical spectral data of methane in the target area and auxiliary observation data.

[0023] In this embodiment of the application, the electronic device can acquire methane vertical spectral data through limb observation satellites such as infrared atmospheric sounding interferometers. The methane vertical spectral data can include the concentration distribution characteristics of different atmospheric layers, which can include the troposphere and stratosphere. For easier understanding of this application, the troposphere is used as an example below.

[0024] As an example, since satellite observation data differs depending on latitude, it is necessary to establish different vertical probability distribution models of methane concentration at different altitudes in different latitude zones. This can be determined by fitting a large amount of experimental data.

[0025] In this embodiment of the application, the auxiliary observation data may include satellite zenith angle and cloud top height data.

[0026] It is worth noting that the methane column concentration can be obtained by assimilating methane vertical spectral data in conjunction with a chemical transport model (CTM). It can be understood that the methane column concentration can be the concentration column of different atmospheric layers in the target area.

[0027] In addition, in order to quickly obtain the source methane concentration field for each latitudinal zone, a vertical probability distribution model of methane concentration can be constructed according to the latitudinal zone to facilitate obtaining the methane column concentration for each latitudinal zone.

[0028] S102, based on methane vertical spectral data and auxiliary observation data, separates and calculates the source methane concentration field within the target altitude range.

[0029] In this embodiment of the application, S102 may specifically include: Obtain the latitude zone and real-time meteorological data of the target area; Within a preset latitudinal band, methane vertical spectral data are assimilated based on a preset chemical transport model to obtain assimilation results. Based on the preset vertical probability distribution model of methane concentration, determine the probability density function of methane concentration at the target height in the target area; Based on the preset correction coefficient and the probability density function of methane concentration within the altitude range, the source methane concentration field within the target altitude range is obtained by separation calculation.

[0030] In this embodiment of the application, in order to separate the tropospheric methane column concentration and obtain the source methane concentration field of the target area within the target altitude range, the latitude zone and real-time meteorological data of the target area can be obtained. Then, the vertical spectral data of methane can be assimilated by a preset chemical transport model. The assimilation result is the methane column concentration obtained above. Then, the methane concentration probability density function can be obtained by a preset methane concentration vertical probability distribution model, which facilitates the acquisition of the methane column concentration.

[0031] Specifically, the methane concentration probability density function can be determined using the following formula (1): (1) in, It is the probability density function of methane concentration at height z (unit: ppb / km). These are the weighting coefficients of the i-th Gaussian sub-distribution (determined by least squares fitting). It is the altitude (in km) of the i-th concentration peak. It is the vertical profile parameter of the i-th concentration peak (unit: km).

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, the methane concentration within the target altitude range can be determined by the above formula (1). For different latitude zones, there can be different parameter changes. The methane concentration can be easily and quickly found by measuring a large amount of experimental data in the early stage.

[0033] In some other embodiments, after obtaining the methane concentration according to the above formula (1), the tropospheric height Ht can be determined based on real-time meteorological data, and then the tropospheric methane column concentration ratio can be calculated.

[0034] Specifically, the following formula (2) can be used for settlement: (2) in, arrive It is the range of the effective observation boundary height of the atmosphere (unit: km). Latitude The seasonal correction factor (summer > 1.0, winter < 1.0).

[0035] It is understood that the TCR mentioned above is the ratio of methane column concentration to total column concentration, representing the source methane concentration field.

[0036] In this embodiment, a probability distribution model of tropospheric methane column concentration and total column concentration is established using adjacent satellite vertical contour data. The tropospheric concentration is separated by a preset vertical probability distribution model of methane concentration, thus avoiding dependence on the atmospheric chemical transport model (CTM) and achieving accurate extraction of tropospheric methane concentration.

[0037] S103, spatiotemporal characteristic analysis of the source methane concentration field was performed to obtain multiple sets of spatiotemporal orthogonal characteristics.

[0038] In this embodiment, the spatiotemporal orthogonal feature is used to characterize the background variation characteristics of methane column concentration in the target region and the dynamic differences of methane column concentration along the transport path.

[0039] To achieve more accurate spatiotemporal feature analysis, prior to S103, the method may also include: The methane concentration deviation is determined based on the preset atmospheric scattering modulation factor and zenith angle; Based on the methane concentration deviation, the source methane concentration field is corrected to obtain the corrected methane concentration field. In this embodiment, the source methane concentration field can be corrected to enable more accurate analysis of methane emission flux during subsequent spatiotemporal analysis. Specifically, each latitude zone has corresponding satellite observation zenith angle and cloud top height data, so a correction equation can be constructed based on satellite observations combined with parameters, as shown in the following formula (3): (3) in, It is the zenith angle observed by satellite (unit: degrees). is the altitude corresponding to the cloud top pressure (unit: hPa), and k is the atmospheric scattering modulation factor (laboratory calibration value 0.15-0.35). It is the atmospheric elevation (typical value 8km).

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the source methane concentration field can be corrected using the above correction formula to obtain a corrected methane concentration field. The corrected methane concentration field can extract the methane concentration more accurately, thereby achieving accurate analysis.

[0041] After obtaining the corrected methane concentration field, S103 can be specifically defined as follows: Spatiotemporal characteristic analysis of the corrected methane concentration field yielded multiple sets of spatiotemporal orthogonal characteristics.

[0042] In this embodiment, the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) component analysis method can be used to analyze the spatiotemporal characteristics of satellite tropospheric methane column concentration. This technique decomposes the dataset corresponding to the corrected methane concentration field into multiple sets of orthogonal signals, consisting of spatial modes (EOF) and temporal components (PCA). The dominant signal that contributes the most to the total variance of the dataset is selected, representing the unique phenomenon controlling the overall distribution pattern of satellite tropospheric methane column concentration. The first mode EOF1 and its time coefficient PC1 mainly characterize the variation characteristics of the background concentration of satellite tropospheric methane column concentration. The spatial distribution of the second mode EOF2 exhibits a significant dipole structure. This spatial pattern of coexisting positive and negative outlier regions reveals the dynamic differences in satellite tropospheric methane column concentration between the source region and the transport path. Specifically, the positive value region of EOF2 usually corresponds to strong emission sources, while the negative value region characterizes the methane transport path and deposition region. This spatial distribution clearly reflects the transport process of methane from the source region to downstream via atmospheric advection. The extreme points of the PC2 time series have a significant correlation with strong methane transport events. By analyzing the statistical characteristics of PC2, the key time points of these transmission events can be accurately identified.

[0043] Specifically, the spatiotemporal orthogonal features include a first orthogonal feature and a second orthogonal feature. The first orthogonal feature is used to characterize the variation characteristics of the methane column concentration and background concentration, and the second orthogonal feature is used to characterize the dynamic differences of the methane column concentration along the transport path. S103 may specifically include: The target area is divided into grids, resulting in multiple grid points; For each grid point, the methane concentration data of the grid point is reconstructed into a spatiotemporal matrix; Singular value decomposition is performed on the spatiotemporal matrix to obtain multiple first orthogonal features and second orthogonal features. The first orthogonal features include the first mode and the first time coefficient, and the second orthogonal features include the second mode and the second time coefficient.

[0044] In this embodiment, the target region is first divided into grids to obtain multiple grid points. Then, the methane column concentration at each grid point is reorganized to obtain an m*n spatiotemporal matrix. The spatiotemporal matrix X can be represented as: (4)

[0045] in, It is the first i The spatial lattice point at the th ... j Methane column concentration (in ppbv) for each time slice. m It is the total number of spatial grids. n It is the length of the time series.

[0046] In this embodiment, by decoupling the data, it is convenient to find out the concentration distribution of methane in the target area and the dynamic differences between the source area and the transport path, wherein the source area can be the area where methane is produced.

[0047] In some other embodiments, the singular value decomposition of the normalized matrix can be performed using the following formula (5): (5)

[0048] in, It is the first k Spatial mode (EOF) vector, It is the k-th time coefficient (PC) vector. It is the singular value of the k-th mode (the variance contribution is proportional to) ).

[0049] In this embodiment, singular value decomposition can more accurately extract the first orthogonal feature and the second orthogonal feature, so as to analyze the concentration evolution of methane in the target area, thereby laying the foundation for subsequent removal of pollutant concentrations.

[0050] It is worth noting that the first mode EOF1 and its first time coefficient PC1 primarily characterize the variation characteristics of the background concentration of methane column in the satellite's troposphere. The spatial distribution of the second mode EOF2 exhibits a significant dipole structure. This spatial pattern of coexisting positive and negative outlier regions reveals the dynamic differences in the methane column concentration in the satellite's troposphere between the source region and the transport path. Specifically, the positive regions of EOF2 typically correspond to strong emission sources, while the negative regions characterize methane transport paths and deposition areas. This spatial distribution clearly reflects the transport process of methane from the source region to downstream areas via atmospheric advection. The extreme points of the second time coefficient PC2 show a significant correlation with intense methane transport events. By analyzing the statistical characteristics of PC2, the key time nodes of these transport events can be accurately identified.

[0051] In other embodiments, the specific path and scope of methane transport can be further analyzed by combining the wind field data at that time. For example, when the extreme point of PC2 is identified, the transport trajectory of methane from the emission source to the downstream area can be accurately tracked by analyzing the spatial distribution characteristics (such as plume morphology and concentration gradient) of satellite tropospheric methane column concentration data and the matching relationship with the wind field (wind direction and wind speed). This allows the externally transported methane signal to be extracted from the satellite tropospheric methane column concentration data.

[0052] It is worth noting that extracting methane information from external sources by combining wind field data can be done manually or by building a neural network model with a large amount of data; no specific method is specified here.

[0053] In some embodiments, after performing singular value decomposition on the spatiotemporal matrix to obtain multiple first orthogonal features and second orthogonal features, the method further includes: For each group of first orthogonal features and / or second orthogonal features, the first orthogonal features and / or second orthogonal features are filtered according to preset filtering conditions to obtain the transmission mode; The spatiotemporal matrix is ​​corrected based on the transmission mode to obtain the final spatiotemporal matrix.

[0054] Specifically, preset filtering criteria can be based on the range of variance contribution, for example, selecting those with a variance contribution of 20%-30%. k =2-mode construction of transmission signals: (6)

[0055] in, It is the modal confidence weight (based on wind field correlation 0.7 < 0.7). <0.9), It is the transmission signal matrix to be eliminated. It is the first 2 Spatial mode (EOF) vector, It is the second time coefficient (PC) vector. It is a singular value of the second mode.

[0056] In this embodiment, after removing external methane concentrations based on wind field signals, the final spatiotemporal matrix can be represented as: .

[0057] In this embodiment of the application, by using spatiotemporal decoupling and transmission extraction technology, the source region transmission path can be identified by utilizing the dipole structure of EOF decomposition. By combining the PC2 extreme point with the wind field trajectory matching, adaptive correction of transmission time can be achieved, which can accurately extract the methane column concentration of the emission source in the target region.

[0058] S104 analyzes the energy emission sources of multiple sets of spatiotemporal orthogonal features to obtain the methane emission intensity distribution in the target region.

[0059] In some embodiments, since multiple associated pollutants may exist in the target area, S104 may specifically include the following in order to determine the methane emission intensity of the emission source: For the target area, obtain the concentration value of at least one pollutant within the target area; For any grid point within the target area, construct a correlation matrix between methane and pollutants; For each pollutant, source feature regions are identified based on the correlation matrix to obtain at least one energy emission source region; Based on energy emission source regions, the distribution of methane emission intensity in the target area is determined.

[0060] In this embodiment, after removing the external methane concentration, the remaining methane column concentration is the methane emission flux generated by the emission source. However, there are still some associated pollutants emitted by the energy industry, so further correction is needed to obtain a more accurate methane concentration.

[0061] Specifically, associated pollutants can include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and light-absorbing aerosols. Therefore, multi-component observation data from the TROPOMI / S5P satellite can be integrated with high-precision measurement results from ground stations (such as the TCCON and EMEP networks) to establish a multi-species collaborative analysis framework. The chemical oxidation of methane is often accompanied by a coordinated equilibrium conversion process involving multiple components such as CO2 and CO. Since the methane to CO emission ratio (CH4 / CO) varies significantly across scenarios such as coal mining (typical ratio > 5), natural gas leaks (pure leak ratio >> 10), and conventional combustion (ratio ≈ 0.1), this difference can be used to determine the differences in individual pollutants, thereby eliminating corresponding energy interference.

[0062] Furthermore, a correlation matrix can be constructed based on the concentration values ​​of at least one pollutant within the target area, using the following formula: (7)

[0063] in, It is the spatial Pearson correlation coefficient between species x and y. R is the concentration anomaly value of the i-th grid (measured value minus regional background value), and R is the correlation matrix.

[0064] Then, the corresponding judgment is made using the above correlation matrix, based on the following criteria: (8)

[0065] Where Ω represents the sub-region of the target analysis. Significant emission threshold (typical value: 100 ppb·km) 2 ).

[0066] The above criteria can be used to screen energy industry emission sources and identify methane concentrations, which will facilitate further correction of methane concentration data and result in a more accurate energy methane emission intensity distribution map.

[0067] Furthermore, before determining the methane emission intensity distribution of the target region based on energy emission source areas, the method also includes: Based on a preset radiative transfer correction relationship, the methane column concentration is corrected to obtain the corrected methane column concentration. Based on the preset mass balance equation and the corrected methane column concentration, a distribution map of energy methane emission intensity is drawn.

[0068] In this embodiment, the methane column concentration can be further corrected by a preset radiative transfer correction relationship to obtain a more accurate methane emission flux.

[0069] Specifically, the pre-defined radiative transfer correction relationship can be expressed by the following formula: \left [ {{CH}_{4}} \right ]_{cor}=\left [ {{CH}_{4}} \right ]_{raw}+\delta \cdot {AOD}_{550}\cdot \frac {\partial \left [ {{CH}_{4}} \right ]} {{\partial}_{\tau}} (9) in, The 550nm aerosol optical thickness was obtained using the TROPOMI UAVI product. Band-dependent correction factor (0.25±0.05 for 1.65µm band). It refers to atmospheric optical thickness.

[0070] Furthermore, the pre-defined mass balance equation can be expressed by the following formula: (10)

[0071] in, For wind field gradient, The wind field vector, It is consumed in chemical reactions.

[0072] In this embodiment, source apportionment can be achieved by using carbon pollution co-source multi-component separation technology and the emission correlation characteristics of pollutants and methane. This eliminates the dependence on low-resolution wind field data, thereby reducing the impact of wind field on concentration calculation. As a result, the methane concentration emission flux can be accurately calculated, enabling the physical separation and quantitative assessment of methane emission signals in the energy industry, and thus improving the spatiotemporal resolution of emission source apportionment.
