Potential Investigation of Linking PROSAIL with the Ross-Li BRDF Model for Vegetation Characterization
摘要： Methods that link different models for investigating the retrieval of canopy biophysical/structural variables have been substantially adopted in the remote sensing community. To retrieve global biophysical parameters from multiangle data, the kernel-driven bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) model has been widely applied to satellite multiangle observations to model (interpolate/extrapolate) the bidirectional reflectance factor (BRF) in an arbitrary direction of viewing and solar geometries. Such modeled BRFs, as an essential information source, are then input into an inversion procedure that is devised through a large number of simulation analyses from some widely used physical models that can generalize such an inversion relationship between the BRFs (or their simple algebraic composite) and the biophysical/structural parameter. Therefore, evaluation of such a link between physical models and kernel-driven models contributes to the development of such inversion procedures to accurately retrieve vegetation properties, particularly based on the operational global BRDF parameters derived from satellite multiangle observations (e.g., MODIS). In this study, the main objective is to investigate the potential for linking a popular physical model (PROSAIL) with the widely used kernel-driven Ross-Li models. To do this, the BRFs and albedo are generated by the physical PROSAIL in a forward model, and then the simulated BRFs are input into the kernel-driven BRDF model for retrieval of the BRFs and albedo in the same viewing and solar geometries. To further strengthen such an investigation, a variety of field-measured multiangle reflectances have also been used to investigate the potential for linking these two models. For simulated BRFs generated by the PROSAIL model at 659 and 865 nm, the two models are generally comparable to each other, and the resultant root mean square errors (RMSEs) are 0.0092 and 0.0355, respectively, although some discrepancy in the simulated BRFs can be found at large average leaf angle (ALA) values. Unsurprisingly, albedos generated by the method are quite consistent, and 99.98% and 97.99% of the simulated white sky albedo (WSA) has a divergence less than 0.02. For the field measurements, the kernel-driven model presents somewhat better model-observation congruence than the PROSAIL model. The results show that these models have an overall good consistency for both field-measured and model-simulated BRFs. Therefore, there is potential for linking these two models for looking into the retrieval of canopy biophysical/structural variables through a simulation method, particularly from the current archive of the global routine MODIS BRDF parameters that were produced by the kernel-driven BRDF model; however, erectophile vegetation must be further examined.

Inversion of Aerosol Optical Depth Based on the CCD and IRS Sensors on the HJ-1 Satellites
摘要： To perform a high-resolution aerosol optical depth (AOD) inversion from the HJ-1 satellites, a dark pixel algorithm utilizing the HJ-1 satellite data was developed based on the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) algorithm. By analyzing the relationship between the apparent reflectance from the 1.65 μm and 2.1 μm channels of MODIS, a method for estimating albedo using the 1.65 μm channel data of the HJ-1 satellites was established, and a high-resolution AOD inversion in the Chengdu region based on the HJ-1 satellite was completed. A comparison of the inversion results with CE318 measured data produced a correlation of 0.957, respectively, with an absolute error of 0.106. An analysis of the AOD inversion results from different aerosol models showed that the rural aerosol model was suitable as a general model for establishing an aerosol inversion look-up table for the Chengdu region.

Intercomparison of aerosol single-scattering albedo derived from AERONET surface radiometers and LARGE in situ aircraft profiles during the 2011 DRAGON-MD and DISCOVER-AQ experiments
摘要： Single-scattering albedo (SSA) retrievals obtained with CIMEL Sun-sky radiometers from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol monitoring network were used to make comparisons with simultaneous in situ sampling from aircraft profiles carried out by the NASA Langley Aerosol Group Experiment (LARGE) team in the summer of 2011 during the coincident DRAGON-MD (Distributed Regional Aerosol Gridded Observational Network-Maryland) and DISCOVER-AQ (Deriving Information on Surface conditions from Column and Vertically Resolved Observations Relevant to Air Quality) experiments. The single-scattering albedos (interpolated to 550 nm) derived from AERONET measurements for aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 440 nm ≥ 0.4 (mean SSA: 0.979) were on average 0.011 lower than the values derived from the LARGE profile measurements (mean SSA: 0.99). The maximum difference observed was 0.023 with all the observed differences within the combined uncertainty for the stated SSA accuracy (0.03 for AERONET; 0.02 for LARGE). Single-scattering albedo averages were also analyzed for lower aerosol loading conditions (AOD ≥ 0.2) and a dependence on aerosol optical depth was noted with significantly lower single-scattering albedos observed for lower AOD in both AERONET and LARGE data sets. Various explanations for the SSA trend were explored based on other retrieval products including volume median radius and imaginary refractive index as well as column water vapor measurements. Additionally, these SSA trends with AOD were evaluated for one of the DRAGON-MD study sites, Goddard Space Flight Center, and two other Mid-Atlantic AERONET sites over the long-term record dating to 1999.

A 10-year record of aerosol optical properties and radiative forcing over three environmentally distinct AERONET sites in Kenya, East Africa
摘要： In the framework of Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), the aerosol optical, microphysical and radiative properties were investigated over three sites (CRPSM_Malindi, Nairobi, and ICIPE_Mbita) in Kenya, East Africa (EA) during 2006-2015. The annual mean (±σ) aerosol optical depth at 440 nm (AOD440) was found high at Mbita (0.27±0.09) followed by Malindi (0.26±0.07), and low at Nairobi (0.19±0.04). Whereas, the seasonal mean AOD440 noticed high (low) values during the local dry (wet) seasons. The aerosol optical properties: AOD, single scattering albedo (SSA), asymmetry parameter (ASY), and complex aerosol refractive index (RI) exhibited significant temporal and spectral heterogeneities illustrating the complexity of aerosol types with an abundance of fine-mode aerosols during the local dry (JJA) season. Characterization of major aerosol types revealed the dominance of mixed-type followed by biomass burning aerosols. The aerosol volume size distribution revealed that the coarse- over fine-mode aerosols showed a significant contribution to the total volume particle concentration, especially at high (> 0.3) AOD440. Further, the aerosol columnar number size distribution (CSD) retrieved from the King’s inversion of spectral AOD exhibited a power law distribution affirming multiplicity of aerosol sources. The direct aerosol radiative forcing values simulated in the shortwave region using the Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART) model showed good correlation (r=>0.85) with the AERONET derived ones at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA), bottom-of-atmosphere (BOA) and within the atmosphere (ATM). The annual mean (±σ) TOA, BOA, and ATM forcing values were found in the range from -8.10±3.75 to -13.23±4.87, -34.54±4.86 to -46.11±10.27, and 26.63±6.43 to 36.24±7.26 Wm-2, respectively, with an atmospheric heating rate (AHR) of 0.74±0.12–1.02±0.20 K day-1. The SBDART-derived DARF exhibited significant temporal heterogeneity with high (low) during the local dry (wet) seasons. Results derived from the present study forms a basis for regional climate change studies and could increase the accuracy of climate models over this unexplored region of Africa.

摘要： Surface broadband albedo is a critical parameter in surface radiation budget (SRB), which controls the input, separation, and allocation of the Earth’s surface energy. Recently, a Global LAnd Surface Satellite (GLASS) phase-2 surface broadband albedo product has been generated from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data. In this study, we present a preliminary validation of the GLASS phase-2 surface broadband albedo with the FLUXNET 2015 dataset. The results show that the GLASS phase-2 surface broadband albedo product has a reasonable good accuracy compared with the currently widely used surface albedo dataset, and can provides more reliable estimations of surface albedo at the seasonal snowfall and snowmelt regions. In addition, the GLASS phase-2 surface albedo product is a long-term, global covered (including land and ocean surfaces) dataset, which can be applied in various scenarios of SRB and climate change studies.

Reconstruction and analysis of erythemal UV radiation time series from Hradec Králové (Czech Republic) over the past 50 years
摘要： This paper evaluates the variability of erythemal ultraviolet (EUV) radiation from Hradec Králové (Czech Republic) in the period 1964–2013. The EUV radiation time series was reconstructed using a radiative transfer model and 10 additional empirical relationships with the root mean square error of 9.9 %. The reconstructed time series documented the increase in EUV radiation doses in the 1980s and the 1990s (up to 15 % per decade), which is linked to the steep decline in total ozone (10 % per decade). The changes of cloud cover were the major factor affecting the EUV radiation doses especially in the 1960s, 1970s, and at the beginning of the new millennium. The mean annual EUV radiation doses in the decade 2004–2013 declined by 5 %. The factors affecting the EUV radiation doses differed also according to the chosen integration period (daily, monthly, and annually): solar zenith angle was the most important for daily doses, cloud cover for their monthly means, and the annual means of EUV radiation doses were most influenced by total ozone column. The number of days with very high EUV radiation doses increased by 22 % per decade, the increase was statistically significant in all seasons except autumn. The occurrence of the days with very high EUV doses was influenced mostly by low total ozone column (82 % of days), clear-sky or partly cloudy conditions (74 % of days) and by increased surface albedo (19 % of days). The principal component analysis documented that the occurrence of days with very high EUV radiation doses was much affected by the positive phase of North Atlantic Oscillation with an Azores High promontory reaching over central Europe. In the stratosphere, a strong Arctic circumpolar vortex and also the meridional inflow of ozone-poor air from the south-west were favourable for the occurrence of days with very high EUV radiation doses. This is the first analysis of the relationship between the high EUV radiation doses and macro-scale circulation patterns, and therefore more attention should be given also to other dynamical variables that may affect the solar UV radiation on the Earth surface.

Computational study of stack/terminal topologies for perovskite based bifacial tandem solar cells
摘要： With the rapid progress on perovskite (PVK) and bifacial solar cells, there is a huge interest in integrating PVK with established technologies such as crystalline silicon (c-Si) and CIGS for bifacial tandem structures. Here we use self-consistent optical/electrical simulations to compare various stack/terminal configurations for bifacial tandem solar cells having PVK as the top cell. In particular, we compare a non-conventional three-terminal four-junction (3T-4J) twin bifacial tandem configuration with standard two-junction bifacial tandem structures having a monolithic two-terminal (2T-2J) or mechanically stacked four-terminal (4T-2J) integration. We show that the optimal design of 2T-2J cell is strongly albedo dependent – the cell designed for a given albedo will perform sub-optimally for other albedo due to the current-matching constraint. A mechanically stacked 4T-2J cell, on the other hand, can perform optimally for a broad range of albedo, albeit at the cost of additional processing complications. The 3T-4J twin tandem cell could offer a relatively simpler process through back-to-back bonding of two identical monolithic 2J tandem cells with superior utilization of albedo in a broad range. The potential benefit of 3T-4J cell could however be limited due to a high front reflection, hence necessitating anti-reflection approaches. We further quantify the effect of bottom subcell material on the efficiency for PVK tandem cells. Using state-of-the-art bottom subcells, efficiency of 33% and 30% respectively could be achieved at the average Earth albedo of 30%. By integrating advanced anti-reflectance techniques, the absolute cell efficiency could further be improved by 4%.

摘要： We developed an experimental set-up and procedure to measure spectral and angular solar irradiance to accurately predict and optimize solar power plant performance. The set-up is comprised of a fiber coupled spectrometer mounted to a rotational stage which allows for 360? light capture. The lightweight and flexible design enables irradiance measurements at any location. Measurements were taken in Enschede, Netherlands and in Phoenix, AZ, USA. We find a strong location, dependence of spectro-angular irradiance on the surroundings and cloud coverage which needs to be considered when modelling and optimizing location dependent solar power plant output.

A novel single-cavity three-wavelength photoacoustic spectrometer for atmospheric aerosol research
摘要： The spectral light-absorbing behavior of carbonaceous aerosols varies depending on the chemical composition and structure of the particles. A new single-cavity three-wavelength photoacoustic spectrometer was developed and characterized for measuring absorption coefficients at three wavelengths across the visible spectral range. In laboratory studies, several types of soot with different organic content were generated by a diffusion flame burner and were investigated for changes in mass-specific absorption cross section (MAC) values, absorption and scattering ?ngstr?m exponents (αabs and αsca), and single scattering albedo (ω). By increasing the organic carbonaceous (OC) content of the aerosol from 50 to 90 % of the total carbonaceous mass, for 660 nm nearly no change of MAC was found with increasing OC content. In contrast, for 532 nm a significant increase, and for 445 nm a strong increase of MAC was found with increasing OC content of the aerosol. Depending on the OC content, the ?ngstr?m exponents of absorption and scattering as well as the single scattering albedo increased. These laboratory results were compared to a field study at a traffic-dominated urban site, which was also influenced by residential wood combustion. For this site a daily average value of αabs(445–660) of 1.9 was found.

摘要： Ocean water albedo (OWA) plays an important role in the global climate variation. Compared with the achievements in land surface albedo studies, the global distributions of ocean water and sea ice albedo are seldom addressed. This study designed an operational global OWA algorithm based on the three-component reflectance model of the ocean water: sun glint, whitecaps, and water-leaving reflectance. The related achievements in these three areas are reviewed and integrated into the operational algorithm. After the sensitive analysis, the algorithm is compared with previous studies and validated with ground observations at COVE site located 25 km east of Virginia Beach (36.91? N, 75.71? W), and the results indicate that the proposed algorithm is generally consistent with previous parameterization scheme. As an example, the global OWAs in summer and winter 2011 are generated using the remote sensing reflectance data sets via the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications meteorological reanalysis data set. The generated product includes instantaneous (e.g., local noon) and daily mean OWAs under both clear-sky and white-sky conditions. Upon the examples, the local noon clear-sky OWA shows a significant latitude variation due to the dominance of the solar angle, whereas the white-sky OWA is sensitive to wind speeds and optical constituents. The global distribution of the daily mean OWA exhibits a similar trend to the local noon OWA. However, the daily mean clear-sky OWA is significantly larger than the local noon OWA; this finding should be noted when using OWA products for energy balance research. Additionally, all forms of OWA products exhibit increase in coastal areas with high input of terrestrial matters.
