Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of marine engineering, and in particular relates to a method for inverting nadir wind speed of an ocean wave spectrometer. Background Art

[0002] Ocean wind field information is one of the important research contents in ocean dynamics and meteorology, and is of great significance to global climate change prediction, marine disaster warning and marine resource development. Accurate measurement of wind speed is crucial for marine research, ship navigation, weather forecast and military activities. Traditional methods of obtaining sea surface wind fields include observation station observation, ship observation and buoy observation. Although these observation methods have high accuracy, they have disadvantages such as low spatial coverage, uneven distribution, long measurement cycle and poor repeatability. Ocean remote sensing satellite observation can obtain sea surface wind field information of large spatial scale in a short time, provide global sea surface wind field data and realize real-time monitoring of sea surface wind field, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional methods and becomes one of the main means of obtaining global sea surface wind field.

[0003] The wave spectrometer SWIM carried by the ocean satellite CFOSAT (China France Oceanography Satellite) is the world's first instrument specifically used to measure two-dimensional ocean wave spectra. The wave spectrometer SWIM (Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring) is a multi-beam true aperture radar working in the Ku band, with 6 detection beams with different incident angles, and the incident angles of the beam center are 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, and 10° respectively. Except for the 0° beam, the other beams adopt a rotating scanning working mode, which can obtain the sea surface backscattering coefficients in different directions under different incident angles. The sea surface backscattering coefficient is a key parameter for inverting the sea surface wind field. Since the mean square slope of the sea surface short-scale waves is highly correlated with the sea surface wind speed, there is a nonlinear inverse relationship between the backscattering coefficient and the sea surface wind speed. However, there is an error between the sea surface wind speed calculated based on a single backscattering coefficient and the actual wind speed. The reason for the error is the fluctuation of the medium and long scales of the sea surface. These medium- and long-scale sea surface fluctuations are not affected by the local sea surface, but they will cause the short-scale sea surface waves to tilt to a certain extent, thereby causing changes in the backscattering coefficient observed by satellite.

[0004] Therefore, adding the sea surface effective wave height and the backscattering coefficient to collaboratively invert the sea surface wind speed is currently a popular altimeter wind speed inversion method. However, relying solely on the effective wave height cannot accurately characterize the fluctuations of the sea surface at different scales. The effective wave height is only a limited substitute parameter for considering the influence of waves in the altimeter wind speed inversion. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for inverting the wind speed at the nadir point of an ocean wave spectrometer.

[0006] Technical solution: The present invention provides a method for inverting the wind speed at the nadir point of an ocean wave spectrometer, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0013] Furthermore, the step 2 is specifically as follows: data quality control is performed according to the surface type identifier, the nadir rainfall identifier, the nadir normalized backscatter coefficient and the wave spectrum product quality identifier, and non-ocean surface data and data with quality lower than a preset value are removed. The wave spectrum product quality identifier includes the proportion of land surface within the observation range and the proportion of sea ice surface within the observation range.

[0014] Furthermore, the step 4 is calculated by the following method: :

[0015] Step 4.1: Calculate the mean square slope of the sea surface along the radar observation direction :
