The present application provides a kind of sea surface foam thickness
remote sensing inversion method and
system, for the L-Ka dual-band of sea surface foam coverage, foam thickness is cooperatively inverted, from the multi-band
microwave radiation transmission characteristics, utilize the
radiation characteristic difference of foam layer under different frequencies, establish the foam
brightness temperature prediction model based on
microwave band, the model considers the emission and scattering characteristics of the medium in foam layer, the
emissivity of different thickness foam layer is calculated using
radiation transfer equation.Then, the quantitative relationship between foam thickness and
sea surface wind speed is established, by
coupling sea surface foam model and wave spectrum model, sea surface foam coverage, thickness inversion is realized.The method and
system provided by the present application can break through the limitation of traditional hydrodynamic model, realize large-scale, high spatio-
temporal resolution observation of sea surface foam thickness, provide a new
observation method for in-depth understanding of sea-
air interface dynamics process.
