The aim of this study is to evaluate the aerosol influence on LST retrieval with two algorithms (split-window (SW) method and a four-channel based method) using simulated data under typical conditions. The results show that the root mean square error (RMSE) decreases to approximately 2.3 K for SW method and 1.5 K for four channel based method when VZA = 60° and visibility = 3 km; an RMSE would be increased by approximately 1.0 K when visibility varies from 3 km to 23 km. Moreover, a detailed sensitivity analysis under a visibility of 3 km and 23 km is performed in terms of uncertainties of land surface emissivity (LSE), water vapor content (WVC), and instrument noise, respectively. It is noted that the four-channel based method is more sensitive to LSE than SW method, especially for dry atmosphere; LST error caused by a WVC uncertainty of 20% is within 1.5 K for SW method and within 0.8 K for four-channel based method; the instrument noise would introduce LST error with a maximum standard deviation of 0.5 K and 0.04 K for the four-channel based method and SW method, respectively.

AbstractThis study compares the simulation biases of Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) brightness temperature to observations made at night over China through the use of three land surface emissivity (LSE) datasets. The University of Wisconsin–Madison High Spectral Resolution Emissivity dataset, the Combined Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Emissivity database over Land High Spectral Resolution Emissivity dataset, and the International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme (IGBP) infrared LSE module, as well as land skin temperature observations from the National Basic Meteorological Observing stations in China are used as inputs to the Community Radiative Transfer Model. The results suggest that the standard deviations of AHI observations minus background simulations (OMBs) are largely consistent for the three LSE datasets. Also, negative biases of the OMBs of brightness temperature uniformly occur for each of the three datasets. There are no significant differences in OMB biases estimated with the three LSE datasets over cropland and forest surface types for all five AHI surface-sensitive channels. Over the grassland surface type, significant differences (~0.8 K) are found at the 10.4-, 11.2-, and 12.4-μm channels if using the IGBP dataset. Over nonvegetated surface types (e.g., sandy land, gobi, and bare rock), the lack of a monthly variation in IGBP LSE introduces large negative biases for the 3.9- and 8.6-μm channels, which are greater than those from the two other LSE datasets. Thus, improvements in simulating AHI infrared surface-sensitive channels can be made when using spatially and temporally varying LSE estimates.

AbstractFengyun-4A is the new generation of Chinese geostationary meteorological satellites. Land surface albedo, land surface emissivity and land surface temperature are key states for land surface modelling. In this paper, the land surface albedo, land surface emissivity and land surface temperature data from Fengyun-4A were assimilated into the Integrated Urban land Model. The Fengyun-4A data are one of the data sources for the land data assimilation system which devoted to produce the high spatial and temporal resolution, multiple parameters near real-time land data sets. The Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) LSA and LSE data, the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, China Academy of Sciences (IAP) 325 m tower observation data and the observed 5 cm and 10 cm soil temperature data in more than 100 sites are used for validation. The results indicate the MODIS land surface albedo is much smaller than the Fengyun-4A and is superior to the Fengyun-4A for the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, China Academy of Sciences 325 m tower site. The Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer land surface emissivity is smaller than the Fengyun-4A in barren land surface and the differences is relatively small for other land use and land cover categories. In most regions of the research area, the Fengyun-4A land surface albedo and land surface emissivity are larger than those of the simulations. After the land surface albedo assimilation, in most regions the simulated net radiation was decreased. After the land surface emissivity assimilation, in most regions the simulated net radiation was increased. After the land surface temperature assimilation, the biases of the land surface temperature were decreased apparently; the biases of the daily average 5 cm and 10 cm soil temperature were decreased.
