摘要:
The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR-2) has two channels in the 10-13/mi window region. These channels are used for remote sensing of the sea surface temperature corrected for atmospheric absorption. The brightness temperature difference between the channels can be directly related to the atmospheric absorption due to water vapour. The problem of water-vapour retrieval from satellite data is examined in detail. The best evaluation of the water-vapour content is obtained from the spectrometric data of the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS), with an error of about + 3kg/m2. It is, however, feasible to obtain the water-vapour content from AVHRR data with an algorithm derived from radiative transfer model simulations. The retrieved water vapour has an error of ±5kg/m2when compared with ship data. It is possible to use the remotely sensed water vapour for the inference of the boundary-layer structure. The information is, however, limited for water vapour contained near the surface.
