Temporal and spatial patterns of inherent optical properties in the Bohai Sea are very complex. In this paper, we used 77 groups of field data of AOPs (apparent optical properties) and IOPs (inherent optical properties) collected in June, August, and September of 2005 in the Bohai Sea, to retrieve the spectral total absorption coefficient a(2) with the quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA). For QAA implementation, different bands in the region 680-730 nm (in 5 nm intervals) were selected and compared, to determine the optimal band domain of the reference wavelength. On this basis, we proposed a new algorithm (QAA-Com), a combination of QAA-685 and QAA-715, according to turbidity characterized by a(440). The percentage difference of model retrievals in the visible domain was between 4.5%-45.1%, in average of 18.8% for a(2). The QAA model was then applied to Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) radiometric products, which were temporally and spatially matched with in-situ optical measurements. Differences between MERIS retrievals and in-situ values were in the range 9.2%-27.8% for a(2) in the visible domain. Major errors in satellite retrieval are attributable to uncertainties of QAA model parameters and in-situ measurements, as well as imperfect atmospheric correction of MERIS data by the European Space Agency (ESA). During a storm surge in April 2009, time series of MERIS images together with the QAA model were used to analyze spatial and temporal variability of the total absorption coefficient pattern in the Bohai Sea. It is necessary to collect more independent field data to improve this algorithm.
针对水下垂向运动目标具有瞬变运动特性、难以对其轨迹进行高精度和高帧率测量的问题,提出一种有水声信标的海底多基站声定位模型,基于高斯-牛顿法给出求解算法,证明了算法满足局部线性收敛条件。数值仿真和精度分析表明,基站站址误差、声速误差和信号时延估计误差通过测量斜距传播到目标位置参数,误差传播过程受接收基阵几何构型、目标相对位置及水声学约束条件等因素影响。在多个海底基站共面条件下,补充海面基站可改进垂向测量能力。利用该方法对全区域进行精度估计,获取了定位性能在空间分布上的细节特征。以水平范围1 km×1 km、水深60 m的海区计算,对于由13个海底基站和1个海面基站构成的14元测量阵,目标运动深度范围为35~60 m,在x, y, z三个方向的均方根误差(RMSE)平均值分别为0.30 m, 1.47 m, 0.34 m。本文工作为水下垂向运动目标定位提供了一种技术途径,可为测量系统的论证设计提供参考。
