摘要
En 中文
We introduce a new machine learning approach to retrieve cloud optical thickness (COT) fields from visible passive imagery. In contrast to the heritage independent pixel approximation (IPA), our convolutional neural network (CNN) retrieval takes the spatial context of a pixel into account and thereby reduces artifacts arising from net horizontal photon transfer, which is commonly known as independent pixel (IP) bias. The CNN maps radiance fields acquired by imaging radiometers at a single wavelength channel to COT fields. It is trained with a low-complexity and therefore fast U-Net architecture with which the mapping is implemented as a segmentation problem with 36 COT classes. As a training data set, we use a single radiance channel (600 nm) generated from a 3D radiative transfer model using large eddy simulations (LESs) from the Sulu Sea. We study the CNN model under various conditions based on different permutations of cloud aspect ratio and morphology, and we use appropriate cloud morphology metrics to measure the performance of the retrievals. Additionally, we test the general applicability of the CNN on a new geographic location with LES data from the equatorial Atlantic. Results indicate that the CNN is broadly successful in overcoming the IP bias and outperforms IPA retrievals across all morphologies. Over the Atlantic, the CNN tends to overestimate the COT but shows promise in regions with high cloud fractions and high optical thicknesses, despite being outside the general training envelope. This work is intended to be used as a baseline for future implementations of the CNN that can enable generalization to different regions, scales, wavelengths, and sun-sensor geometries with limited training.
