Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of polar remote sensing monitoring and geodesy, and particularly relates to a high-precision inversion technical scheme for Antarctic ice sheet mass balance by using satellite altimetry data as prior constraints, which realizes accurate quantification of ice sheet mass change by fusing gravity satellite observation and laser altimetry satellite data. BACKGROUND
[0002] The Antarctic ice sheet, as the largest freshwater storage on Earth, its mass balance change directly affects the global sea level rise and climate system stability. In the past three decades, the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet has led to an accelerated global sea level rise, which poses a serious threat to low-lying coastal areas and island nations. Accurate monitoring of Antarctic ice sheet mass balance has important scientific significance for predicting future sea level rise and developing response strategies.
[0003] Currently, the international community mainly relies on two types of satellite technologies to monitor ice sheet changes: gravity satellites (such as GRACE / GRACE-FO) and laser altimetry satellites (such as ICESat / ICESat-2). Gravity satellites measure the change in the Earth's gravity field to invert the mass change, and its basic principle is to express the Earth's gravity field as a spherical harmonic coefficient expansion. The low-order terms (l≤30) reflect the large-scale mass distribution, and the high-order terms represent the local changes. However, this method has significant limitations: limited by the spatial resolution of about 300 km, it is difficult to capture the fine changes in key areas such as the ice shelf edge; high-order spherical harmonic coefficients are easily disturbed by measurement noise, even if Gaussian filtering (filter radius usually needs to be ≥200 km) is used, the details will still be lost; more seriously, it relies on the Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) model to correct the crustal rebound effect, and the existing GIA model (such as ICE-6G_D) has larger errors in the Antarctic region, resulting in systematic bias in the mass inversion results.
[0004] Laser altimetry satellites provide a new perspective for ice sheet monitoring by directly measuring surface elevation changes, with the advantage of sub-meter vertical accuracy and about 70 m along-track resolution. However, this method faces a fundamental challenge: the conversion of elevation change to mass change requires the assumption of snow density, while the spatial difference of Antarctic snow density is significant (from 300 kg / m3 for fresh snow to 830 kg / m3
[0005] To improve the resolution, the academic community has developed Mascon (mass block) inversion method. The method divides the Antarctic into several mass blocks and directly inverts the changes of each mass block. However, when a high-resolution Mascon (1°x1° or smaller) is used, the coefficient matrix A presents a serious ill-conditioning - a small observation noise can cause the solution to oscillate dramatically. The traditional solution is to introduce Tikhonov regularization, but the regularization matrix R is mostly an identity matrix or an empirical spatial smoothing constraint, which lacks physical basis. Such "mathematically driven" regularization can stabilize the numerical solution, but at the cost of sacrificing the authenticity.
[0006] In this context, the present application proposes a new technology for Antarctic ice sheet mass balance inversion based on prior information constraint. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to overcome the problems of the prior art, the present application proposes an innovative idea of using satellite altimetry data to construct physical prior constraints.

[0009] Moreover, the elevation parameters of the Antarctic ice sheet region include longitude, latitude, elevation and time, and the extracted elevation parameters of the Antarctic ice sheet region are used to construct the elevation change time series function within each Mascon unit and calculate the elevation change variance as the prior information for mass balance inversion.
[0010] Moreover, the preprocessing of the gravity satellite data includes truncating the spherical harmonic coefficient order, implementing low-order term correction, Gaussian filtering and glacier equilibrium adjustment correction.

[0012] Moreover, the dynamic optimization of the regularization parameter includes constructing a generalized cross-validation function, and iteratively calculating in a preset interval through a segmentation search algorithm. The time-varying characteristics of the gravity satellite observation noise are dynamically tracked, and the regularization parameter corresponding to the minimum generalized cross-validation function value is taken as the optimal solution.
[0013] Moreover, when the Mascon unit is divided, the unit boundary is divided according to the ice flow velocity gradient and the bedrock topography mutation characteristics, so that the unit spatial resolution is not greater than a preset threshold, and the boundary is aligned with the ice flow basin geography.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions of the present application are specifically described below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0022] The present application provides a high-precision Antarctic ice sheet mass balance inversion method using satellite altimetry data as prior constraints. In the existing GRACE gravity field inversion technology based on the Mascon model, uniform constraints or empirical regularization methods are usually used to suppress noise. Although such solutions can solve the problem of ill-conditioned observation equations, they ignore the differences in physical characteristics of mass changes in different regions of the Antarctic ice sheet, resulting in excessive smoothing of the rapid mass loss signal in the coastal dynamic zone and the drowning of the weak change signal in the inland stable zone by noise.
[0023] The present application breaks through the limitations of existing technology and creatively introduces a satellite altimetry physical prior constraint mechanism and a generalized cross-validation dynamic optimization algorithm (see Figure 1 System flowchart), which realizes a leap in precision through three core innovations: first, by establishing a physically mechanism-driven prior constraint matrix, the elevation change variance obtained from satellite altimetry data such as ICESat-2 / CryoSat-2 is converted into spatially differentiated regularization constraint weights, with weak constraint weights assigned to coastal glacier flow zones (such as the Pine Island Glacier) and strong constraint weights applied to the Antarctic inland stable zone (such as Dome A), realizing the physical coupling of ice sheet dynamics and mathematical constraints; second, in solving the regularization equation, the traditional empirical threshold setting is completely abandoned, and an adaptive optimization function is constructed based on the generalized cross-validation criterion (GCV), which automatically locks the optimal regularization strength within the interval by dynamically tracking the time-varying characteristics of GRACE observation noise; third, according to the ice flow velocity field and bedrock topography, the Antarctic ice sheet is divided into multiple uniform Mascon units, with the unit boundaries highly consistent with the ice flow basins, effectively extracting the mass balance of the target region (see Figure 2 Mascon distribution map).
[0024] The Antarctic ice sheet mass balance inversion method based on prior information constraint provided by the application comprises the following steps: satellite altimetry data extraction, obtaining the spatial and temporal information of ice sheet surface elevation; GRACE gravity satellite data processing, including coefficient truncation, Gaussian filtering, low-order term correction and ice sheet equilibrium adjustment (GIA) correction; dividing Mascon units based on Antarctic ice flow characteristics and constructing the spherical harmonic coefficient base function matrix thereof; calculating the elevation change variance in each Mascon unit based on the satellite altimetry data, and constructing a physical prior constraint matrix representing the mass change uncertainty; performing mass balance inversion, modeling the gravity field change as a linear combination of the mass change of Mascon units, introducing the physical prior constraint matrix to construct an improved regularization observation equation; performing generalized cross-validation criterion (GCV) dynamic optimization of the regularization parameter, and solving the observation equation to obtain the mass change of each Mascon unit; and performing mass balance result output to generate high-resolution spatial and temporal distribution maps and statistical time series. The application uses altimetry data to quantify regional uncertainty differences (weak constraint along the coast / strong constraint in the inland) for regularization, significantly improves the inversion accuracy and spatial resolution (about 100 kilometers), and effectively suppresses the GIA model error and data noise interference.
[0025] Referring to Figure 1 , the embodiment provides a high-precision Antarctic ice sheet mass balance inversion method using satellite altimetry data as prior constraints, comprising the following steps: Step 1, satellite altimetry data extraction, including extracting longitude, latitude, elevation value and time: obtaining satellite altimetry data covering the Antarctic ice sheet region, analyzing the geographic spatial information layer thereof, and extracting the longitude, latitude, elevation value and time stamp of each observation point; In specific implementation, the satellite altimetry data can be derived from multiple satellite altimetry missions, and it is recommended to extract elevation change information with a spatial resolution of ≤2 kilometers.
[0026] The embodiment preferably uses satellite altimetry products based on NASA, obtains satellite altimetry raw data files (NC format) from the NASA data distribution center, and automatically analyzes the geographic spatial information layer thereof; takes the Antarctic ice sheet as the research region, extracts the longitude ( ), latitude ( ), elevation ( ), time ( ) and other parameters of all elevations in the ice sheet, and uses the longitude, latitude, elevation and time to construct the elevation change time series function in each Mascon unit and calculate the elevation change variance as prior information for mass balance inversion:
[0027] wherein, is the mean elevation, is the elevation at time i, is the total number of time.
[0028] Step 2, processing of GRACE satellite data, including truncation of coefficients, correction of Gaussian filtering, correction of low-order terms, correction of ice mass balance adjustment; In specific implementation, the GRACE satellite data can be processed.
[0029] It is preferred to use the GRACE Level-2 monthly gravity field model (RL06.2 version) published by the Center for Space Research (CSR) of the University of Texas at Austin, which contains completely normalized spherical harmonic coefficients Clm 、 Slm ( l is the order, m is the number of times). The following operations are performed on the spherical harmonic coefficients of the GRACE Level-2 time-varying gravity field model: Truncate the spherical harmonic coefficients to order l≤60; apply low-order term correction, correct the errors of C10, C11, S11, C20 and C30 terms using satellite laser ranging (SLR) data; use Gaussian filtering with a radius of 150 km to suppress strip noise; subtract the ice mass balance adjustment (GIA) effect predicted by the ICE-6G_D model to generate corrected gravity field change data.
[0030] After truncating the original spherical harmonic coefficients to 60 orders to filter out high-frequency noise components with a wavelength less than 150 kilometers, the satellite laser ranging database is called to correct the center of mass offset and the first-order term missing problem, and the low-precision C20 term data is replaced simultaneously. And implement Gaussian filtering, effectively suppress the strip-shaped artifacts and improve the signal fidelity, finally subtract the ice mass balance adjustment effect predicted by the ICE-6G_D model.
[0031] The embodiment further proposes a preferred implementation of step 2, which includes the following sub-steps, Step 2.1, truncate the GRACE data to 60 orders: After receiving the original spherical harmonic coefficients ( Clm , Slm ) from the GRACE Level-2 data center, the order truncation operation needs to be performed first. High-order spherical harmonic coefficients (usually l >60) mainly contain satellite measurement noise, atmospheric disturbance error and unmodeled tidal effects and other interference components, and the signal-to-noise ratio is significantly reduced. In order to suppress the influence of high-order noise on the Antarctic ice sheet signal, the spherical harmonic coefficients of the Level-2 time-varying gravity field model are truncated to 60 orders:
[0032] wherein where Cnmis the truncated spherical harmonic coefficient, and the dimension of the truncated coefficient matrix is 61x121 = 60, m ∈ [-60, 60], is the truncated spherical harmonic coefficient.
[0033] Step 2.2. Low-order term correction for GRACE data: The GRACE data product is fixed in the Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) reference frame, and the C 10, C 11, S 11 are forced to zero. However, the actual Earth Center of Mass (CM) will be displaced due to the mass redistribution caused by ice sheet melting, so the true CM offset is recovered using the Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) product. The C20 and C30 terms are greatly affected by instrument errors, so the high-precision solution of the satellite orbit perturbation SLR is used for correction.
[0034] Step 2.3. Gaussian filtering correction for GRACE data: After truncating the spherical harmonic data, since the noise mainly appears in the high-frequency part, and the low-frequency component represents a more stable signal, it is necessary to perform filtering processing when analyzing the GRACE data, effectively removing the noise and retaining the useful signal. Therefore, the embodiment preferably uses a 150 km radius Gaussian filter to suppress high-order term errors:
[0035] where, is the initial weight coefficient, is the first-order weight coefficient, is the l order weight coefficient, l is the order number, is a natural constant, is a scale parameter.
[0036] The filtering radius r = 150 km corresponds to the scale parameter b = ln2 / (1-cos( r / Re )) = 3.47, and Re is the average radius of the Earth.
[0037] Step 2.4. Glacier isostatic adjustment correction for GRACE data: The mantle viscoelastic response triggered by ice sheet melting since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has produced a persistent upward trend in the gravity field in Antarctica, which must be separated from the observed signal. The embodiment preferably uses the ICE-6G_D model to subtract the predicted GIA signal (long-term crustal rebound signal):
[0038] wherein, is the corrected spherical harmonic coefficient variation, is the observed and pre-processed spherical harmonic coefficient variation, is the spherical harmonic coefficient predicted by the glacier mass balance adjustment model, is the time, is the time interval.
[0039] Step 3, using Mascon method based on prior information constraint to solve the mass balance inversion: solving the regularized observation equation and optimizing the parameters The present application proposes to divide the Antarctic region into a plurality of Mascon units, to construct a basis function matrix through spherical harmonic analysis, and to convert the spatial distribution characteristics of each Mascon into spectral domain representation. The gravity field change observed by GRACE is decomposed into a linear combination of the mass change of each Mascon unit, and an observation equation is established. The change variance of satellite altimetry data is innovatively introduced to construct a physical prior constraint matrix, which quantitatively characterizes the uncertainty of the mass change in each region. The scaling factor is solved through an improved regularization equation, and the generalized cross-validation criterion is used to dynamically optimize the regularization parameter, so as to realize the automatic balance of noise suppression and signal preservation. The contribution of each Mascon unit to the total mass change is calculated by defining a regional indicator function to clearly define the geographical boundary, and the high-resolution mass balance spatiotemporal distribution is output.
[0040] Further, it is preferred that the Mascon unit division is based on the ice flow velocity gradient and the bedrock topography mutation characteristics, and the unit spatial resolution is ≤100 km, so as to ensure that the boundary is aligned with the geography of the ice flow basin.
[0041] The embodiment further proposes a preferred implementation manner of step 3, which includes the following sub-steps, Step 3.1, based on the MEaSUREs ice flow velocity field and the BEDMAP2 bedrock topography data, the Antarctic ice sheet is divided into a plurality of Mascon units matched with the ice flow basin boundary.
[0042] Specifically, first, based on the MEaSUREs ice flow velocity field and the BEDMAP2 bedrock topography data, the Antarctic ice sheet is divided into a plurality of Mascon units with a resolution of about 100 km, and the unit boundary is consistent with the geography of the ice flow basin, as shown in Figure 2 Each Mascon unit is defined as 1 within the block and 0 in other regions around the world, which assumes that each Mascon has a uniform mass distribution equivalent to 1 cm of equivalent water height.
[0043] The spherical harmonic function matrix A of each Mascon unit is constructed, and the elements are generated by the following spherical area integral formula, which is calculated by the spherical harmonic coefficients of each mass block. In the embodiment, each Mascon is converted into 60-order truncated spherical harmonic coefficients:
[0044] wherein, is the equatorial radius of the earth, is the average density of the earth, is the load Love number, is the mass change area density function, is the colatitude, is the longitude, l is the order, is the degree, is the completely normalized associated Legendre function. The expression converts the spatial distribution characteristics of each Mascon into a spectral domain representation through spherical area integration, and establishes a mathematical basis for subsequent inversion.
[0045] All Mascon units are combined to generate the design matrix A.
[0046] The gravity field change is decomposed into a linear combination of the mass changes of each Mascon unit, and the corresponding observation equation is established as:
[0047] wherein, is the spherical harmonic coefficient form of the Mascon, is defined as a scaling factor, that is, the optimal solution vector estimated, is the GRACE spherical harmonic coefficient at time t, is the vector residual.
[0048] Step 3.2, construct a regularization constraint solving framework, and iteratively solve the optimal regularization parameter.
[0049] The regularization constraint solving is implemented by introducing a physical prior constraint matrix R constructed by the variance of satellite altimetry data, which quantitatively represents the uncertainty of the mass change in each region. The improved regularization equation is solved, and the generalized cross-validation criterion is used to dynamically optimize the regularization parameter.
[0050] The physical prior constraint is constructed, and the regularization inversion uses the variance of satellite altimetry data as prior information, which specifically includes extracting the height change time series of each Mascon unit based on step 1 (t=1,…,T, T is the total time length), calculating the space-time variance of each Mascon unit, and generating a diagonal regularization matrix , realize regional physical property difference constraint, give weak constraint weight in coastal glacier flow area, give strong constraint weight in Antarctic inland stable area, that is, generate diagonal type physical priori constraint matrix:
[0051] wherein the normalization factor , is the total number of Mascon units, is the Mascon unit label, is the Mascon unit variance, is the regularization constraint matrix.
[0052] Regularization dynamic solution, including obtaining the optimal solution by minimizing the regularization objective function :
[0053] wherein, is the mass change parameter vector to be solved, is the design matrix, is the observation vector, is the regularization parameter, is the regularization constraint matrix Analyze the mass change by the improved regularization equation, and the analytical solution is as follows:
[0054] wherein, is the estimated optimal solution vector, is the transpose of the design matrix.
[0055] Wherein the selection of the regularization parameter , too small cause weak regularization effect, and the solution may be dominated by noise, resulting in instability or false signal; too large may cause the solution to be too smooth, losing the real signal. Therefore, the application further proposes to use the generalized cross-validation method (GCV) for iterative optimization, that is, the regularization parameter is dynamically optimized by minimizing the generalized cross-validation function. Dynamic parameter optimization adopts a segmentation search algorithm, and the global optimal solution is automatically locked by calculating the curvature change rate of the GCV function .
[0056] That is, the following iteration is performed: 1) Calculate the GCV function:
[0057] wherein, is the value of the generalized cross-validation function, is the regularization parameter, For the i-th observation, Let n be the model prediction value for the i-th observation, where i is the observation index and n is the total number of observations. Let H be the trace of the hat matrix. This is the hat matrix.
[0058] 2) Update the regularization parameters: Using a segmentation search algorithm in the interval [ α min, α Iterative optimization within the [max] (typically [10⁻¹⁰, 10⁻²]) involves partitioning all values within the search range and iteratively selecting the optimal parameters. in, α min is the lower limit of the search interval. α `max` is the upper limit of the search interval. 3) Optimal decision In the interval [ α min, α [max] Select the minimum GCV value. As the optimal regularization parameter Step 3.3: Calculate and output the optimized mass balance result based on the optimal parameters:
[0059] in, This is the optimized solution vector. The optimal regularization parameters are selected using the GCV method. This is the observation vector.
[0060] Step 4: Output the mass balance results, including the spatiotemporal distribution and regional statistical time series.
[0061] This step is used to perform statistical analysis on changes in material balance and generate a spatiotemporal distribution product of material balance.
[0062] The quality change output of the embodiment is implemented as follows: Define region indicator function Characterize the target boundary and calculate the mass contribution of each Mascon using spherical harmonic expansion. :
[0063] in, The mass change of the Mascon element at time t. The radius of the Earth's equator. For area indicator functions, This represents the (equivalent) change in mass per unit area of the Earth's surface at time t and position (λ,φ). a regional indicator function a spherical harmonic coefficient, a mass change field represented by a (normalized) spherical harmonic coefficient observed by GRACE at time t, Ω represents an integral region, lmax represents a maximum order of spherical harmonic expansion, l represents a spherical harmonic order, and m represents a spherical harmonic number.
[0064] Using the mass balance result of each Mascon calculated, a spatial distribution map is generated, as shown in Figure 3 and a statistical time series is output.
[0065] In the mass balance inversion process using the present application, the main inversion results are mass balance time series and spatial distribution. The current international mainstream products are CSR (Center for Space Research at the University of Texas at Austin), JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), and GSFC (Goddard Space Flight Center). The present application realizes high precision and high reliability of the inversion time series through the spatial differentiation constraint mechanism constructed by satellite altimetry prior information and the dynamic optimization algorithm of generalized cross-validation. Specifically, in the typical inversion experiment from 2002 to 2023, the present application selects the Antarctic ice sheet region (East Antarctica, West Antarctica, and the Antarctic Peninsula) and compares and analyzes the time series with the CSR, JPL, and GSFC products. The statistical indicators (unit: Gt per year) of the mass balance time series are shown in Table 1.
[0066] Table 1 Mass balance inversion trend statistics
[0067] As can be seen from Table 1, the inversion results of the present application in the key regions of the Antarctic ice sheet are highly consistent with the international mainstream GRACE products. The West Antarctica mass loss trend (-129.36 Gt / a) is in the same scientific recognized rapid change interval as CSR (-135.06 Gt / a) and GSFC (-136.06 Gt / a); the Antarctic Peninsula change (-11.76 Gt / a) is more closely consistent with CSR (-11.87 Gt / a) and JPL (-12.11 Gt / a). This trend consistency across agencies and multiple products fully proves that the inversion scheme of the present application has reached an international advanced level, and its spatial distribution characteristics are highly consistent with the prediction of the dynamics model of the Antarctic ice flow system. Therefore, the present application not only achieves an international leading level in mass balance inversion accuracy, but also has strong adaptability, reduces the dependence on artificial parameters, and has other comprehensive advantages.
