基于Fizeau干涉仪的激光雷达测温方法研究

气温是描述大气状态的基本参数之一，温度的准确测量对天气预报、气候预测及其他气象参数的反演都至关重要。激光雷达作为一种遥感仪器，已经用于气象要素的探测中（风、温度、气溶胶的光学厚度等）。目前，测温激光雷达主要有拉曼激光雷达（振动和转动）、共振荧光激光雷达和Rayleigh散射激光雷达等，拉曼激光雷达需要大功率的激光器和复杂的背景滤波器；共振荧光激光雷达无法探测平流层内的温度；基于Rayleigh散射的测温激光雷达多应用于温度的相对测量，反演温度时需要建立响应函数和校准程序；基于固体腔扫描F-P干涉仪测量大气Rayleigh散射光谱来反演温度的方法，时间分辨率较低，并且该方法在测量过程中需要运动部件，所以不利于星载。在大气低层，分子的Rayleigh散射光谱会受到Brillouin散射的影响，两种散射信号叠加形成的Rayleigh-Brillouin散射光谱不再服从Gaussian分布，直接通过测量散射光谱的半高全宽来反演温度，会产生误差。基于回波能量的方法会受到气溶胶Mie散射信号的影响，所以在对流层中该方法并不适用。为了实现对流层内温度的高精度和高时间分辨率的测量，提出利用Fizeau干涉仪和PMT阵列对对流层内分子的Rayleigh-Brillouin散射光谱进行测量，并通过插值的方法来对回波信号中气溶胶Mie散射信号进行抑制，从而使Mie散射信号对温度反演的影响较小，最后将测量光谱和理论光谱进行全光谱匹配来实现温度的反演。除此之外，还对Fizeau干涉仪的自由光谱区、固体腔几何长度、腔体反射率、扫描间隔等参数进行了优化设计。为了验证本文提出方法的可行性，利用Matlab软件建立了一套仿真模型，通过模拟表明，在不考虑云、风和水汽含量的影响时，利用该方法测量对流层内的大气温度时，测量误差小于1 K。该测温方法可以对对流层内的大气温度廓线实现高精度、高时间分辨率的测量, 在测量过程中不需要使用运动部件，有较高的使用价值，并对同类高光谱激光雷达分光系统的研究具有借鉴意义, 为我国高光谱激光雷达陆基及星载应用提供了一套可行的技术方案和温度反演方法。     

Correction of temperature influence on the wind retrieval from a mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar

A mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar based on double-edge technique is implemented for simultaneously observing wind and temperature at heights of 15 km-60 km away from ground.Before the inversion of the Doppler shift due to wind,the Rayleigh response function should be calculated,which is a convolution of the laser spectrum,Rayleigh backscattering function,and the transmission function of the Fabry-Perot interferometer used as the frequency discriminator in the lidar.An analysis of the influence of the temperature on the accuracy of the Une-of-sight winds shows that real-time temperature profiles are needed because the bandwidth of the Rayleigh backscattering function is temperature-dependent.An integration method is employed in the inversion of the temperature,where the convergence of this method and the high signal-to-noise ratio below 60 km ensure the accuracy and precision of the temperature profiles inverted.Then,real-time and on-site temperature profiles are applied to correct the wind instead of using temperature profiles from a numerical prediction system or atmosphere model.The corrected wind profiles show satisfactory agreement with the wind profiles acquired from radiosondes,proving the reliability of the method.     

Simultaneous Measurement of Wind and Aerosol Backscattering in the Troposphere by High Spectral Resolution Lidar with Iodine Filter

We propose a high spectral resolution lidar system which is capable of measuring aerosol backscattering and line-of-sight wind velocity in the troposphere. An iodine vapor filter is used to separate the aerosol and Rayleigh scattering components as well as to discriminate the Doppler shift frequency. The performance of the lidar system is estimated with reasonable parameters. The error of horizontal wind velocity below an altitude of 6 km is less than 0.5 m/s, and accuracy of the aerosol backscattering coefficient is better than 40% below 10 km. This system is particularly suitable for the study of aerosol transportation in the troposphere.

Wind profiling from high troposphere to low stratosphere using a scanning Rayleigh Doppler lidar

A scanning mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar based on the molecular double-edge technique is developed for wind measurement from high troposphere to low stratosphere in 5–35 km. To get higher optical efficiency and make the system more stable, a non-polarized beam splitter cube optically contacted to the FPI is used. This layout also provides a convenient method for null Doppler calibration. The laser frequency drift is measured by a wavelength meter and laser frequency locking is performed and an accuracy of ±?0.5 m/s are obtained in 10 h. Horizontal wind velocity and direction retrieval is described for a detecting method of scanning in four directions. To validate the performance of the lidar, comparison experiments were carried out in in Jiuquan (39.741°N, 98.495°E), Gansu province, northwest of China, from 16th October to 12th November 2015, which showed good agreement with radiosonde.     

瑞利多普勒测风激光雷达的频率标定方法

频率标定是瑞利测风激光雷达的关键技术。瑞利测风激光雷达中,通过改变压电陶瓷管的电压实现连续调谐F-P标准具腔长,使出射激光频率处于双边缘透过率曲线的交点处。在连续调谐时,由于压电陶瓷管的磁滞效应引起腔长调谐非线性,从而导致系统误差。分析了该误差的原因及特性,提出了静态软件补偿和动态调频跟踪相结合的频率标定方法。若激光出射频率相对F-P标准具漂移小于100 MHz时,在数据反演时补偿该频率偏差;若相对频率漂移大于100 MHz时,将F-P标准具先退回预设腔长以下,通过逐步增加电压的方式,重新实现频率锁定,保证锁定过程处在磁滞回线的电压上升段,避免了磁滞效应引起的误差。多普勒激光雷达与无线电探空仪的两组对比实验中,在15~30km高度,风速最大偏差6.22m/s,平均偏差1.12m/s。     

Diffuse surface calibration method to improve accuracy and dynamic range of aerosol elastic light scattering measurements

A new method to calibrate detectors for elastic light scattering (ELS) measurement based on diffuse scattering from a Lambertian surface is presented. The method produces a calibration signal that is approximately seven orders of magnitude larger than a propane gas Rayleigh scattering calibration. The method also allows for calibration of detectors such as photodiodes, which are not sensitive enough to detect Rayleigh scattering for calibration but possess characteristics desirable for the measurement of soot ELS. Since the method is only suitable for backward scattering calibrations, transfer of calibration data from a backward- to a forward-oriented detector is accomplished with a secondary laser and integrating sphere. In demonstration experiments, calibration constants for photomultiplier tube (PMT) detectors obtained using both Rayleigh scattering and diffuse surface scattering agreed within experimental uncertainties as did measurements of in-flame scattering coefficients obtained with PMTs and photodiodes. However, achievable uncertainties with the diffuse-surface calibration approach were significantly reduced. More importantly, by enabling the use of photodiode detectors in ELS measurements, the new method facilitates operation at higher photon fluxes resulting in improved signal-to-noise ratios, reduced influence of photon shot noise, and the ability to achieve higher dynamic range in transient measurements.     

Ultraviolet Rayleigh Lidar for Wind and Temperature Measurements

A new method of simultaneous remote sensing of atmospheric wind and temperature by a ultraviolet Rayleigh lidar is described. This technique uses two narrowband filters located at either side of the wings of the Rayleigh backscatter spectrum to analyze Rayleigh backscattering signals. These filters are selected to be greatly sensitive to both velocity and temperature. By measuring the ratio and the sum of the two normalized filtered signals, the line-of-sight wind velocity and temperature profiles can be retrieved. A lidar system is proposed for the wind velocity and temperature measurements in the middle atmosphere, and the simulation results show that the accuracies of velocity and temperature are about 1 m/s and 2 K at the height of 30 km, respectively. The influence of aerosol component has been estimated for clear weather conditions, and with an uncertainty of aerosol component of 15% the errors are about 0.1 m/s and 2 K above the troposphere, respectively.
