Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of sea surface wind field remote sensing, in particular to a sea surface wind streak optical high-resolution remote sensing image detection method. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND The sea surface wind field is the direct driving force of the wave, sea swell and wind-induced sea level change, and is also an important source of regional and global upper ocean circulation. It not only determines the formation and development of wind-generated waves, but also affects the flow structure of the upper ocean and the energy exchange process of the sea-air interface. Changes in sea surface wind speed and direction have a direct impact on regional climate regulation, ocean circulation generation, sea-air coupling processes and the occurrence of extreme weather events. Accurate acquisition of sea surface wind field parameters helps to better understand the evolution mechanism of the sea surface dynamic force and provides key support for marine weather forecasting, marine engineering design and disaster risk assessment.
[0002] Traditional sea surface wind field measurement methods use shore-based observation stations, ships and buoys, etc., which have small measurement range, few measurement points, and are easily limited by weather conditions. With the development of satellite remote sensing technology, especially the widespread use of high spatial resolution optical remote sensing data, it is possible to carry out sea surface wind field inversion based on image texture, wave features and white cap distribution, etc. The Multi Spectral Instrument (MSI) of the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2 satellite has excellent spatial resolution capability and can clearly record fine-scale disturbances on the sea surface, capturing the sea white cap and streak structure features closely related to wind speed. Unlike the point limitation and weather dependence of traditional buoy and ship observation methods, optical satellites provide a high-frequency, large-scale, cost-controlled wind field observation method. Building a direction estimation model based on high-resolution remote sensing images not only expands the spatial scale of wind field monitoring, but also provides a new technical means for the study of wind wave coupling processes and local wind field anomalies. SUMMARY
