[0051] Firstly, the methane emission flux analysis method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced.

[0052] Figure 1 The flowchart of the methane emission flux analysis method provided by one embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 1 The methane emission flux analysis method can include S101-S104:

[0053] S101, obtaining methane vertical spectral data and auxiliary observation data under a target area.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can obtain methane vertical spectrum data through an infrared atmospheric sounding interferometer or the like limb observation satellite, wherein the methane vertical spectrum data can include concentration distribution characteristics of different atmospheric layers, and the different atmospheric layers can include the troposphere and the stratosphere. In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the troposphere is taken as an example below.

[0055] As an example, because the data of satellite observation presented is different due to different latitudes, different methane concentration vertical probability distribution models need to be established for different latitudes and altitudes, which can be determined through a large amount of experimental data.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the auxiliary observation data can include zenith angle and cloud top height data of the satellite.

[0057] It should be noted that the methane column concentration can be assimilated through the methane vertical spectrum data and a chemical transport model (CTM) to obtain the methane column concentration. It can be understood that the methane column concentration can be a concentration column of different atmospheric layers in the target region.

[0058] In addition, in order to quickly obtain the source methane concentration field of each latitude band, a methane concentration vertical probability distribution model can be constructed according to the latitude band to facilitate the obtaining of the methane column concentration of each latitude band.

[0059] S102, based on the methane vertical spectrum data and the auxiliary observation data, separate calculation of the source methane concentration field in the target height range.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, S102 can specifically include:

[0061] Obtaining the latitude band in which the target region is located and real-time meteorological data;

[0062] In the preset latitude band, the methane vertical spectrum data is assimilated based on a preset chemical transport model to obtain an assimilation result;

[0063] According to a preset methane concentration vertical probability distribution model, a methane concentration probability density function of the target region at the target height is determined;

[0064] Based on a preset correction coefficient and the methane concentration probability density function at the height range, separate calculation is performed to obtain the source methane concentration field in the target height range.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to be able to realize the separation of the tropospheric methane column concentration, obtain the source methane concentration field of the target area in the target height range, the latitude band where the target area is located and real-time meteorological data can be acquired, and then the methane vertical spectrum data is assimilated through a preset chemical transport model, and the assimilation result is the above-mentioned methane column concentration, and then the methane concentration probability density function is obtained through a preset methane concentration vertical probability distribution model, so as to facilitate the obtaining of the methane column concentration.

[0066] Specifically, the methane concentration probability density function can be determined by the following formula (1):

[0067] (1)

[0068] wherein, is the methane concentration probability density function at height z (unit: ppb / km), is the weight coefficient of the i th Gaussian sub-distribution (determined by least square fitting), is the altitude of the i th concentration peak (unit: km), is the vertical profile parameter of the i th concentration peak (unit: km).

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the methane concentration in the target height range can be determined through the above formula (1), and for different latitude bands, different parameter changes can be used, which can be measured through a large amount of experimental data in advance, so as to facilitate the rapid searching of the methane concentration.

[0070] In some other embodiments, after obtaining the methane concentration according to the above formula (1), the tropospheric methane column concentration ratio can be calculated after determining the tropospheric fixed height Ht according to the real-time meteorological data.

[0071] Specifically, the following formula (2) can be used for settlement:

[0072] (2)

[0073] wherein, to is the range of the effective observation boundary height of the atmosphere layer (unit: km), is the seasonal correction coefficient of the latitude .

[0074] It can be understood that the above TCR is the ratio of the methane column concentration to the total column concentration, which represents the source methane concentration field.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the probability distribution model of the tropospheric methane column concentration and the total column concentration is established by using the limb satellite vertical profile data, and the separation of the tropospheric concentration is realized by using the preset methane concentration vertical probability distribution model, thereby avoiding the dependence on the atmospheric chemical transport model (CTM) and realizing the accurate extraction of the tropospheric methane concentration.

[0076] In S103, the source methane concentration field is analyzed in time and space to obtain a plurality of groups of time-space orthogonal characteristics.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the time-space orthogonal characteristics are used to represent the background change characteristics of the methane column concentration in the target area and the dynamic difference of the methane column concentration on the transmission path.

[0078] In order to be more accurate in the time-space characteristic analysis, before S103, the method can further include:

[0079] Based on the preset atmospheric scattering modulation factor and the zenith angle, the methane concentration deviation is determined;

[0080] Based on the methane concentration deviation, the source methane concentration field is corrected to obtain a corrected methane concentration field;

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the source methane concentration field can be corrected so as to be more accurate in analyzing the methane emission flux in the subsequent time-space analysis. Specifically, for each latitude band, there is corresponding satellite observation zenith angle and cloud top height data, so the correction equation can be constructed based on the satellite observation and the parameters, such as the following formula (3):

[0082] (3)

[0083] Wherein, is the satellite observation zenith angle (unit: degree), is the height corresponding to the cloud top pressure (unit: hPa), k is the atmospheric scattering modulation factor (laboratory calibration value 0.15-0.35), is the atmospheric altitude (typical value 8km).

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the source methane concentration field can be corrected by using the above correction formula to obtain the corrected methane concentration field, and the corrected methane concentration field after correction can more accurately extract the methane concentration, thereby realizing the accurate analysis.

[0085] After obtaining the corrected methane concentration field, S103 can be specifically:

[0086] The time-space characteristic analysis is performed on the corrected methane concentration field to obtain a plurality of groups of time-space orthogonal characteristics.

[0087] 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.

[0088] 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:

[0089] The target area is divided into grids, resulting in multiple grid points;

[0090] For each grid point, the methane concentration data of the grid point is reconstructed into a spatiotemporal matrix;

[0091] 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.

[0092] 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:

[0093] (4)

[0094] 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.

[0095] In the embodiment, by decoupling the data, the concentration distribution of methane in the target area and the dynamic difference in the source area and the transmission path can be found out, where the source area can be the area where methane is generated.

[0096] In some other embodiments, when singular value decomposition is performed on the standardized matrix, the following formula (5) can be used for decomposition:

[0097] (5)

[0098] wherein, is the k th spatial mode (EOF) vector, k is the k th time coefficient (PC) vector, is the k th modal singular value (the variance contribution is proportional to ).

[0099] In the embodiment, the first orthogonal feature and the second orthogonal feature can be more accurately extracted by singular value decomposition, so as to analyze the concentration evolution relationship of methane in the target area, thereby laying a foundation for subsequent removal of pollutant concentration.

[0100] It is worth noting that the first modal EOF1 and its first time coefficient PC1 mainly represent the variation characteristics of the background concentration of the satellite tropospheric methane column concentration. The spatial distribution of the second modal EOF2 presents a significant dipole structure, and this spatial pattern of coexistence of positive and negative abnormal values reveals the dynamic difference of the satellite tropospheric methane column concentration in the source area and the transmission path. Specifically, the positive area of EOF2 usually corresponds to a strong emission source, while the negative area represents the transmission path and the settlement area of methane. This spatial distribution characteristic clearly reflects the transportation process of methane from the source area to the downstream through atmospheric advection. The extreme points of the second time coefficient PC2 have a significant corresponding relationship with the strong methane transmission events. By analyzing the statistical characteristics of PC2, the key time nodes of these transmission events can be accurately identified.

[0101] In some other embodiments, the specific path and the influence range of methane transmission can also be further analyzed in combination with the wind field data at that time. For example, when the extreme points of PC2 are identified, the transmission trajectory of methane from the emission source to the downstream area can be accurately tracked by analyzing the matching relationship between the spatial distribution characteristics (such as plume shape and concentration gradient) of the satellite tropospheric methane column concentration data and the wind field (wind direction and wind speed), so as to extract the extraneous transmission methane signal from the satellite tropospheric methane column concentration data.

[0102] It is worth noting that the extraction of extraneous transmission methane information in combination with wind field data can be realized manually, and a neural network model can also be constructed by a large amount of data to perform the extraction, which is not limited herein.​

[0103] In some embodiments, after singular value decomposition is performed on the spatiotemporal matrix to obtain a plurality of first orthogonal features and second orthogonal features, the method further comprises:

[0104] For each group of first orthogonal features and / or second orthogonal features, the first orthogonal features and / or the second orthogonal features are screened according to a preset screening condition to obtain a transmission mode.

[0105] The spatiotemporal matrix is corrected based on the transmission mode to obtain a final spatiotemporal matrix.

[0106] Specifically, the preset screening condition can screen according to a variance contribution range, for example, the first orthogonal features and / or the second orthogonal features with a variance contribution of 20%-30% can be selected. k =2 mode to construct a transmission signal:

[0107] (6)

[0108] wherein, is a modal confidence weight (through wind field correlation 0.7 <0.9), is a transmission signal matrix to be removed, is the first 2 spatial mode (EOF) vector, is the second time coefficient (PC) vector, is the second modal singular value.

[0109] In this embodiment, after the extraneous methane concentration is removed based on the wind field signal, the final spatiotemporal matrix can be represented as: .

[0110] In the embodiments of the present application, by using the spatiotemporal decoupling and transmission extraction technology, the dipole structure of the EOF decomposition can be used to identify the source area transmission path, the transmission time can be adaptively corrected by matching the PC2 extreme point with the wind field trajectory, and the methane column concentration of the emission source in the target area can be accurately extracted.

[0111] S104, energy emission source analysis is performed on a plurality of spatiotemporal orthogonal features to obtain a methane emission intensity distribution of the target area.

[0112] In some embodiments, since there can be multiple associated pollutants in the target area, in order to be able to determine the methane emission intensity of the emission source, S104 can specifically include:

[0113] For the target area, at least one pollutant concentration value in the target area is obtained;

[0114] For any one grid point in the target area, an associated matrix of methane and pollutants is constructed.

[0115] For each pollutant, source feature area recognition is performed based on the correlation matrix to obtain at least one energy emission source area;

[0116] Based on the energy emission source area, the methane emission intensity distribution of the target area is determined.

[0117] In this embodiment, after the extraneous methane concentration is removed, the remaining methane column concentration is the methane emission flux generated by the emission source, but at this time there are still some associated pollutants emitted by the energy industry, so further correction is still needed to obtain more accurate methane concentration.

[0118] Specifically, the associated pollutants can include carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and light-absorbing aerosols, so the multi-component observation data of TROPOMI / S5P satellite and the high-precision measurement results of ground stations (such as TCCON, EMEP network) can be integrated to establish a multi-species collaborative analysis framework. The methane chemical oxidation process is often accompanied by the coordinated balance conversion process of CO2, CO and other components. Since the emission ratio of methane to CO (CH4 / CO) differs significantly in coal mining (typical ratio > 5), natural gas leakage (pure leakage ratio >> 10) and conventional combustion (ratio ≈ 0.1) and other scenarios, the difference between each pollutant can be determined by the difference to determine the corresponding energy interference.

[0119] Further, the correlation matrix can be constructed according to the concentration value of at least one pollutant in the target area, and the specific formula is as follows:

[0120] (7)

[0121] wherein, is the spatial Pearson correlation coefficient of species x and y, is the concentration anomaly value (measured value minus regional background value) of the i-th grid, and R is the correlation matrix.

[0122] Then the above correlation matrix is used for corresponding judgment, and the judgment basis is as follows:

[0123] (8)

[0124] wherein, Ω is a sub-area of target analysis, is a significant emission threshold (typical value: 100 ppb·km 2 ).

[0125] The above judgment basis can be used to screen the energy industry emission source area to select the methane concentration, so as to facilitate further correction of the methane concentration data and obtain a more accurate energy methane emission intensity distribution map.

[0126] Further, before determining the methane emission intensity distribution of the target region based on the energy emission source area, the method further comprises:

[0127] Based on the preset radiation transmission correction relationship, the methane column concentration is corrected to obtain a corrected methane column concentration;

[0128] According to the preset mass balance equation and the corrected methane column concentration, an energy methane emission intensity distribution map is drawn.

[0129] In this embodiment, the methane column concentration can be further corrected by the preset radiation transmission correction relationship to obtain a more accurate methane emission flux.

[0130] Specifically, the preset radiation transmission correction relationship can be expressed by the following formula:

[0131] \left [ {{CH}_{4}} \right ]_{cor}=\left [ {{CH}_{4}} \right ]_{raw}+\delta \cdot {AOD}_{550}\cdot \frac {\partial \left [ {{CH}_{4}} \right ]} {{\partial}_{\tau}} (9)

[0132] Wherein, is the 550nm aerosol optical depth obtained from the TROPOMI UAVI product, the wavelength-dependent correction factor (0.25±0.05 for the 1.65µm wavelength band), is the atmospheric optical depth.

[0133] Further, the preset mass balance equation can be expressed by the following formula:

[0134] (10)

[0135] Wherein, is the wind field gradient, is the wind field vector, is the chemical reaction consumption.

[0136] In this embodiment, the carbon pollution homologous multi-component separation technology can be used to realize source analysis by using the emission correlation characteristics of pollutants and methane, which eliminates the dependence on low-resolution wind field data, reduces the influence of wind field on concentration calculation, and thus can accurately calculate the methane concentration emission flux, realize physical separation and quantitative evaluation of the methane emission signal of the energy industry, and further improve the spatial and temporal resolution of the emission source analysis.
