卷云中冰晶粒子的单次光散射计算是卷云辐射传输及云微物理参数反演的重要基础.近年,利用高观测频率的静止气象卫星数据来反演水云和卷云的光学和微物理参数,进而计算地表光通量的研究倍受重视.然而,很多研究中卷云的冰晶用球形模型来模拟.由于不同形状和尺度大小的冰晶对电磁波的散射特征的不同,导致不同冰晶模型计算的卷云环境下卫星观测的辐射值及地表光通量的不同.利用不同尺度大小和电磁波波长的球形和六角形冰晶的单次散射数据,结合RSTAR辐射传输模式来定量分析了卷云环境下不同形状的冰晶模型对计算卫星观测的辐射和地表光通量中的影响.结果显示利用不同形状的冰晶模块来计算的卫星观测的辐射,地表向下辐射通量明显不同.波长在0.4～1.0 μm之间的大气窗口部分的光谱辐射通量的差距最大.总辐射通量受云粒子形状的影响显著.研究证实了正确选择冰晶模型对卫星反演卷云微物理和光学参数的反演及计算地表光通量的重要性.该结果对于云微物理参数的反演及地表向下辐射通量的模拟具有参考价值.

Single scattering properties for spherical and hexagonal ice crystal models with different size parameters and wavelengths were employed to calculate satellite observed radiation and downward flux in ground surface using RSTAR radiative transfer model.Results indicated that simulated satellite observed radiation and ground surface downward radiant flux from different shapes of ice crystal models were different.The difference in the spectral radiation fluxes between 0.4 and 1.0 μm was largest,and particle shapes affected the downward radiant flux significantly.It was verified that the proper selection of the effective ice crystal model is not only important for retrieval of the microphysical and optical parameters of the cirrus cloud,but also important for obtaining the radiant flux on the earth’s surface correctly.These results are important for retrieving cloud microphysical parameters and simulation of the ground surface downward radiant flux.
