TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automatic control, and in particular to an ice-in solar irradiance observation layer position adaptive control method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The polar region has become an important strategic region for global countries to compete for, due to its important strategic geographical position, rich resource endowment, and unique climate conditions. Sea ice, as an important part of the polar ocean system, has a profound impact on the polar marine environment, upper ocean processes, and global climate change. Research on sea ice changes has important scientific significance and application value. In recent decades, with the intensification of global warming, the Arctic sea ice has undergone significant changes. The coverage of the Arctic sea ice shows a clear decreasing trend, and the significant reduction of multi-year ice and the increase of one-year ice have become the main characteristics of this change. Solar radiation, as one of the important factors driving the change of sea ice, has an important influence on the growth and decay process of sea ice and its physical properties. Long-term continuous observation of the internal solar radiation of polar sea ice can help understand the distribution of solar radiation energy in the sea ice and obtain the optical properties of the sea ice, which is of great significance to reveal the mechanism of sea ice change, evaluate its impact on the global climate system, and predict future trends.
[0003] For the measurement of internal solar radiation of polar sea ice, optical sensors such as spectrometers can be used to measure the solar irradiance at different depths in the ice. However, polar sea ice has a clear stratification phenomenon, and from top to bottom, it can be divided into a high scattering layer (including snow layer, surface scattering layer), sea ice layer, and seawater layer, with different optical properties in different layers. And with the change of seasons, the thickness of sea ice changes greatly, causing the thickness of each layer to change accordingly. To obtain more accurate optical properties (such as spectral diffuse attenuation coefficient) of each layer, the measurement layer position of solar irradiance in each layer needs to reach a certain number to fit and calculate the more accurate optical properties. This requires the measurement layer position of solar irradiance to automatically adjust to the thickness change of each layer. This technology is crucial for obtaining accurate optical properties of sea ice, and there is currently no report on it. SUMMARY

[0046] (2) Figure 2 As shown, based on the initial thickness of the high scattering layer and the sea ice layer, five observation layers are uniformly set in the vertical direction within the high scattering layer: the first observation layer (#1) is set on the upper surface of the high scattering layer, the fifth observation layer (#5) is set on the lower surface of the high scattering layer, and the second observation layer (#2), the third observation layer (#3), and the fourth observation layer (#4) are uniformly set between the first and fifth observation layers; and ten observation layers are uniformly set in the vertical direction within the sea ice layer and the subglacial water: the sixth to the fifteenth observation layers (#6 to #15).
[0047] (3) Set the corresponding observation layer adjustment period to N days; within the t-th round of observation layer adjustment period, use a spectrometer to measure the spectral intensity of solar irradiance within the ice at all observation layers, and obtain the irradiance spectral intensity set {F}. t}: in, It represents the spectral intensity of intra-ice solar irradiance at any observation layer within the t-th round of observation layer adjustment cycle.
[0048] In this embodiment, the observation horizon adjustment period is N = 3 days.
[0049] (4) Based on the irradiance spectral intensity set {F t Based on radiative transfer theory and Beer-Lambert law, the spectral attenuation coefficient is calculated, the new position of the first observation layer in the high scattering layer is updated, and the new thickness of the high scattering layer is calculated.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, step (4) specifically includes the following sub-steps:
[0051] (4.1) Based on the irradiance spectral intensity set {F t The spectral attenuation coefficient between the first and second observation layers was calculated. (k 12 ), spectral attenuation coefficient between the second and third observation layers (k 23 ) the spectral attenuation coefficient between the first observation horizon and the second observation horizon (k 34 ):
[0052]
[0053]
[0054]
[0055] wherein, represents the depth of the first observation horizon from the upper surface of the high scattering layer in the tth observation horizon adjustment period; represents the depth of the second observation horizon from the upper surface of the high scattering layer in the tth observation horizon adjustment period; represents the depth of the third observation horizon from the upper surface of the high scattering layer in the tth observation horizon adjustment period; represents the depth of the fourth observation horizon from the upper surface of the high scattering layer in the tth observation horizon adjustment period.
[0056] The spectral attenuation coefficient is calculated based on the radiative transfer theory and the Beer-Lambert law, and the calculation process is specifically as follows:
[0057] (a1) Based on the radiative transfer theory, assuming that the solar radiation transmission inside the sea ice follows the Beer-Lambert law, the solar downward irradiance spectral intensity F↓(z, λ) at the depth z in the ice is:
[0058] F↓(z, λ) = F0(λ) e -k(λ)z (1);
[0059] wherein, z represents the depth from the upper surface of the high scattering layer; F0(λ) represents the incident spectral irradiance; k(λ) represents the spectral attenuation coefficient.

[0066]
[0067] The reason for only estimating the upper interface position of the high scattering layer is that the high scattering layer is located above the sea ice layer, and the change in the thickness of the high scattering layer can be considered to start from the upper interface (i.e., the interface between air and the high scattering layer). That is, whether the snow or the surface scattering layer becomes thinner due to the absorption of solar radiation energy or becomes thicker due to snowfall, etc., all occurs at the upper surface of the high scattering layer. The lower surface of the high scattering layer can be considered to be stable.
[0068] (4.2) Calculate and determine the value of (k 12 / k 23 ):
[0069] (a.1) When the value of is between 0.5 and 2, it indicates that the thickness of the high scattering layer has not changed, and each observation layer does not need to be updated, waiting for the next observation layer adjustment period.
[0070] (a.2) When the value of is less than 0.5, it indicates that the thickness of the high scattering layer has become thinner, and the value of is further calculated and determined: when the value of is not less than 0.5, it indicates that the upper surface of the high scattering layer in this round is located between the first observation layer and the second observation layer, and the first observation layer is updated: the updated first observation layer is set at the middle position of the first observation layer and the second observation layer in this round; when the value of is less than 0.5, it indicates that the upper surface of the high scattering layer in this round is located between the second observation layer and the third observation layer in this round, and the first observation layer is updated: the updated first observation layer is set at the position of the second observation layer in this round.
[0071] (a.3) When the value of is greater than 2, it indicates that the thickness of the high scattering layer may become thicker, and the first observation layer is updated: the updated first observation layer is set at the middle position of the first observation layer and the second observation layer in this round.
[0072] (4.3) According to the position of the updated first observation layer and the fifth observation layer, the new thickness of the high scattering layer in this round is calculated.
[0073] (5) According to the calculated new thickness of the high scattering layer, the first observation layer position of the next round of observation layer position adjustment period and the position of the upper surface of the high scattering layer are reset, and then the next round of observation layer position adjustment period is waited.
[0074] As shown in Figure 4 , the step (5) is specifically:
[0075] When the new thickness (Z 高散射层 ) of the high scattering layer in this round is 1-20 cm, the position of the updated first observation layer position is taken as the first observation layer position of the next round of observation layer position adjustment period and the position of the upper surface of the high scattering layer, and then the next round of observation layer position adjustment period is waited.
[0076] When the new thickness of the high scattering layer in this round is less than 1 cm, the position of the first observation layer position of the next round of observation layer position adjustment period is set at 1 cm above the fifth observation layer position and taken as the position of the upper surface of the high scattering layer in the next round of observation layer position adjustment period, and then the next round of observation layer position adjustment period is waited.

[0078] (6) The relationship between the solar irradiance of each layer in the ice and the depth of the sea ice is obtained by measuring the data with the spectrometer.
[0079] As shown in Figure 5 , the figure is an ice solar irradiance profile observation system using the present application. The system uses a transparent sealed cabin to transmit the solar radiation signal in the ice to the cabin, and uses a spectrometer with movable position in the cabin to measure, so as to realize long-term in-situ observation of the solar radiation profile in the ice. In the long-term use process, with the seasonal change of sea ice, the thickness of the high scattering layer also changes. Using the adaptive control method described in the present application, the profile observation system can automatically adapt to the change of the thickness of the high scattering layer and automatically adjust the measurement layer position in the high scattering layer, so as to ensure that there is a sufficient number of measurement data in the high scattering layer, and lay a foundation for accurately obtaining the optical parameters of each layer in the ice.
