气象科技 进展 风云三号B星微波温度探测仪观测资料的质量评估 1 2 王祥 邹晓蕾 （1 南京信息工程大学资料同化研究与应用中心，南京 210044；2 佛罗里达州立大学地球海洋大气科学系，美国） 摘要：继新一代气象极轨卫星上午窗口星风云三号A星于2008年5月27日成功发射以后，下午窗口星风云三号B星在 2010年11月5日成功发射。搭载于风云三号卫星上的微波温度探测仪（MWTS，MicroWave Temperature Sounder）有 4个通道，分别与先进微波探测仪（AMSU-A，Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A）的3，5，7和9通道相对应。 通过与模式模拟亮温以及NOAA-18 AMSU-A同频率观测亮温的对比，评估了风云三号B星MWTS观测资料的质量。研 究发现，MWTS通道3和AMSU-A通道7的观测偏差有较强的纬度依赖性；MWTS通道4的观测资料在约30°—40°N的狭窄 纬度带上受到了严重污染；并且，通道4的扫描偏差不对称，第4个像元的偏差全球系统性地高于其他临近像元。造成这 些异常偏差的可能原因包括卫星天线旁瓣污染和未知来源的信号干扰。为了将MWTS观测应用于数值天气预报，提出了 一个质量控制算法剔除通道4的异常观测资料。 关键词：风云三号B星，微波遥感，微波温度探测仪 DOI：10.3969/j.issn.2095-1973.2013.04.004 Quality Assessments of Chinese FengYun-3B Microwave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) Measurements 1 2 Wang Xiang , Zou Xiaolei (1 Center of Data Assimilation for Research and Application, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044 2 Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Florida State University) Abstract: Following the successful launch of the first polar-orbiting morning-configured satellite, FY-3A, on May 27, 2008, in a new Fengyun three (FY-3) series, the second afternoon-configured polar-orbiting satellite (FY-3B) was launched on November 5, 2010. The four-channel Microwave Temperature Sounder (MWTS) was onboard both FY-3A/B satellites, with designed channel frequency similar to channels 3, 5, 7, and 9 of the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A). This study assesses the quality of the brightness temperature measurements from FY-3B MWTS by comparing them with numerical weather prediction (NWP) model simulations and NOAA-18 AMSU-A measurements with the s
