海表風(fēng)場是海氣界面主要的動量通量和能量通量的來源.為了正確認(rèn)識海氣相互作用過程,需要進一步提高海表風(fēng)場數(shù)據(jù)的質(zhì)量、時間和空間分辨率,以便模擬和預(yù)測海洋和大氣現(xiàn)象的發(fā)生及發(fā)展過程.現(xiàn)有的海表風(fēng)場數(shù)據(jù)的時間和空間分辨率逐漸提高,但降水對風(fēng)場數(shù)據(jù)的影響仍然存在.2016年底,美國航空航天局的旋風(fēng)全球?qū)Ш叫l(wèi)星系統(tǒng)(CYGNSS)飛行任務(wù)啟動,它是一個用于提高颶風(fēng)預(yù)報準(zhǔn)確性的包含8顆微小衛(wèi)星的星座,可以對熱帶氣旋、臺風(fēng)以及颶風(fēng)整個壽命周期中的眼壁內(nèi)和眼壁附近的海洋表面風(fēng)進行頻繁測量,每秒可得到32個實際風(fēng)速值.另外,CYGNSS觀測系統(tǒng)可對單一樣本點進行多次觀測,時間間隔為幾分鐘至幾小時.總之,CYGNSS觀測數(shù)據(jù)具有兩個明顯優(yōu)點:1)幾乎不受降水影響;2)時間步長短.

Abstract Many phenomena in the atmosphere and the ocean can be detected by sea surface winds.High quality and high temporal and spatial resolution sea surface wind data product is needed to study these phenomena.In this paper,sea surface winds from Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission over 35°N-35°S are validated against in situ observations in order to evaluate the performance of CYGNSS.The in situ wind observations include measurements from the Xisha flux tower in South China Sea (SCS),and moored buoy data from the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array (GTMBA).The result indicates a mean root-mean-square-difference (RMSD) of 2.17 m/s of CYGNSS winds with respect to in situ observations.Part of this discrepancy may come from instrument error,and part of it may come from representative error because of not-exact match of in situ and satellite measurements.The time evolution of CYGNSS winds,however,is consistent with that of in-situ winds,suggesting its potential application in understanding the complex mass and energy interchange processes of atmosphere and ocean.Examples using surface wind to analyze the MJO and the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean upwelling events are also discussed,which indicates potential applications of CYGNSS observation.

1 Introduction
Sea surface wind is the typical movement of near-surface air and the largest source of momentum for the upper ocean.It can drive ocean currents,develop convection via surface wind convergence and divergence[1],and transfer heat flux,moisture,gases and particulates into and out of the ocean[2].Accurate measurements of sea surface wind will provide researchers with more detailed information about these dynamic processes of the atmosphere and the ocean.Throughout history,the poor spatial and temporal coverage of ship-and buoy-based observations set limits to describe meteorological conditions over the open ocean[3].Of late,as technology developed,many satellite-based monitoring methods have measured higher-quality wind datasets over tropical and global oceans[4].For instance,Quick Scatterometer provides global winds from 1999 to 2009[5],and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction is involved to present two global reanalysis projects,including Reanalysis-1 and Reanalysis-2[6-7].The Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) gridded surface vector winds are also widely used[8].Many efforts have been made to evaluate or compare the existing wind data products.The resolution of measurements is improved due to the development of technology,while the rainfall effects on the quality of wind data is still a key limitation[9-10].
At the end of 2016,the orbital injection of a single launch vehicle carrying a constellation of eight small satellites marks the beginning of the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission.One of the primary CYGNSS objectives is to leverage Global Positioning System (GPS) reflectometry to measure wind speeds in tropical cyclones (TCS) inner core with sufficient frequency to resolve genesis and rapid intensification phases of the TC life cycle[11].And another objective is to measure sea wind speeds under rainy conditions,especially those in the eye of the storm.Rather than previous satellite scatterometers,CYGNSS provides more samples of the study area.For instance,if compared with two current scatterometers combined,the percentage of 3-hour intervals that TC inner core regions can be sampled by satellite sensors is improved from 25% to nearly 35%.
Ground tracks for 6 hours in a particular day are shown in Figure 1.Eight low earth orbit satellites with an inclination of 35 degrees to the equator are each capable of measuring 4 simultaneous reflections,resulting in 32 wind measurements per second across the globe[12].Besides,the satellite revisit time for the same geographical point during the science mission is reduced to a shorter time,few minutes to few hours.The median value of revisit times is 2.8 hours and the mean revisit time is 7.2 hours.Thus,these satellites provide space-based measurements with the following temporal and spatial sampling:(a) temporal sampling better than 12-hour mean revisit time and (b) spatial sampling 70% of all storm tracks between 35°N and 35°S latitude to be sampled within 24 hours.The number of satellites,their orbit altitudes and inclinations,and the alignment of the antennas are all optimized to provide unprecedented high temporal-resolution wind field imagery of TC genesis,intensification and decay.
Despite the focus on tropical cyclones,the ability of CYGNSS to provide rapid updates of winds,unbiased by the presence of rainfall,shows many other potential applications related to general tropical convection.A reliable application of near-surface wind conditions,observed at a given time at sea,is necessary for practically every kind of human activity both at open sea and in the coastal zone.The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is a large-scale air-sea coupled process that propagates eastward at about 5 m/s with a period of 30-60 day,and the primary mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere[13].Strong MJO activity has significant features with deep clouds,heavier rainfall and westerly wind anomalies.More information about MJO structure and the skill of MJO forecast require detailed knowledge of sea surface winds,which is limited by existing measurement systems and heavy rainfall due to the MJO[12].In addition,much of the signals of enhanced deep convective system comes from the result of empirical orthogonal functions of meteorological measurements,including outgoing long-wave radiation,850 hPa and 250 hPa wind fields,or their combinations[14].Since the low-level zonal wind anomalies are out of phase with those at upper levels due to the MJO[15],sea surface winds may be an alternative indicator for detecting the MJO signal.However,the greatest mean and diurnal maximum of rainfall rate over ocean exist in the MJO envelope.And in theory,little to no rainfall effect on CYGNSS measurements enables researchers to better understand the mechanisms of tropical deep convective system.
Besides the above,a more robust wind product is also needed by the research of ocean process.In the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean,surface water is driven by the strong,local southeast monsoon winds from June to October.Surface Ekman transport replaces the offshore moving water by upwelled water,leading to lower sea-level altitudes and cold sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies[16].However,long-time series of ocean surface currents are not available,and directly quantifying upwelling is also extremely difficult[17].The idea behind the offshore component of surface Ekman transport driven by geostrophic wind stress is good to describe the intensity of coastal upwelling.Reasonable estimates of surface transport and coastal upwelling may be made using planetary boundary layer theory and the geostrophic wind approximation.Many publications refer to the Bakun (1973) technical memorandum that initially described the upwelling indices.In this method,Ekman mass transport is defined as the wind stress divided by the Coriolis parameter[18].Therefore,the increasing of high temporal and temporal resolution in wind product will be fed back into the improved understanding on quantitative intensity of coastal upwelling in the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows.Section 2 describes in situ wind data and verifies the performance of CYGNSS observations.Section 3 describes the potential applications of this satellite measurement,including the MJO and the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean events.Section 4 provides a summary and discussion.Results from this study will advance our understanding of the quality and potential application of CYGNSS observations.
2 Validation of CYGNSS observations
In general,the results of recent verification studies of satellite winds come from the comparison between model simulations and satellite observations,or on the inter-comparison with in situ buoys[19-20].In this study,the performance of CYGNSS winds is compared with respect to in situ data,including observations from the Xisha Station and the Global Tropical Moored Buoy Array (GTMBA).Within this section,sea surface winds are examined over a 65-day period,from August 1 to October 4,2017.This type of exercise gives a better understanding on the quality of CYGNSS wind in terms of these independent in situ observations.Part of this section describes the winds from Xisha flux tower and moored buoy winds in Indian,Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.
The Xisha flux tower is located in the South China Sea (SCS),which belongs to a mesoscale hydrological and marine meteorological observation network established by the SCS Institute of Oceanology.This flux tower is off the coast of Yongxing Island (16°49′N,112°20′E;see red point in Fig.2 for its location),and categorized as both a coastal and a deep-sea station due to the deep water (more than 1 000 meters) basin of the northern-central SCS[21-22].This measurement provides meteorological parameters hourly,such as latent and sensible heat flux,carbon dioxide flux,and winds at a height of 5 m,10 m,and 15m above the mean sea-level.Many efforts have also been made to verify the performance of observations from Xisha Station,such as the passages of tropical cyclones[23],the response of heat flux to monsoon[24],as well as the validation of satellite SST[25].
In this study,moored buoy winds are also compared against CYGNSS observations.They are available from GTMBA through Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (www.pmel.noaa.gov).This moored buoy observing system is based on international cooperation and designed to provide real-time measurements for researching and forecasting tropical climate variations.It consists of three major components:the Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and Prediction (RAMA) in the Indian Ocean,the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean/Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy Network (TAO/TRITON) in the Pacific and the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic (PIRATA)[26].High quality time series data of these moored arrays have been advancing the research on air-sea interaction in time and space since their implementations.
Note that only 7 buoys in RAMA,47 buoys in TAO/TRITON and 7 buoys in PIRATA are considered in this study due to the time matching between in situ and satellite winds.Moored buoys are described in Table 1 and shown in Figure 3 (red points).Since satellite winds over the sea surface are provided at the 10 meters neutral stability height,all moored buoy winds are adjusted from 3.1-4.0 meters to a height of 10 meters assuming neutral stability and using a logarithmic profile method[25].This method requires only the wind speed at the reference height.
Before deriving overall verification statistics,satellite winds are collocated with in situ winds only if they are spatially within a box of 0.2°×0.2° and temporally within 15 minutes.Each buoy wind is used only one time for collocation with the above mentioned resolutions.To make sure that the correct satellite wind is selected,the collocated pair is retained only if none of them conclude the missing data.Since science measurement requirements of CYGNSS mission is to provide wind speed over a dynamic range of 3-70 m/s as determined by a spatially averaged wind field with a resolution of 5.0×5.0 km,in situ winds below 3.0 m/s are not considered for collocation[12].
Time series comparison of CYGNSS observations and in situ winds from Xisha flux tower is shown in Figure 4.The number of collocations of CYGNSS Level 2 version (L2) and Level 3 version (L3) data against in situ winds is 116 and 100.The L3 gridded wind product is surface wind speed,averaged in space and time (0.2° latitude and longitude,1 hour).As shown in Figure 4a,CYGNSS L2 version data shows positive bias with respect to in situ wind from Xisha flux tower,while its time evolution is consistent with that of in situ winds.Figure 4b is similar to Figure 4a,but for L3 version.Reduced RMSD value (from 2.49 to 2.11) is obtained from the updated version of CYGNSS winds,suggesting a better performance of L3 version due to the gridding of irregular data.
The CYGNSS winds are also compared against buoy winds from RAMA,TAO/TRITON and PIRATA net works.Here,CYGNSS L3 data are used.A summary of comparison between CYGNSS and in situ observations is listed in Table 1.This table describes the mean buoy wind speed,the mean CYGNSS wind speed,their root-mean-square-difference (RMSD) and the number of collocations.Most of the CYGNSS wind speed values are lower than the buoy measured mean wind speeds.The quick revisit time of CYGNSS satellite on the same geographic points leads to larger number of collocations.The 65-day period is enough for the validation of CYGNSS observations.In addition,the mean RMSD is 2.17 m/s,which meets 2.0 m/s retrieval uncertainty for winds less than 20.0 m/s in terms of CYGNSS mission scientific data product baseline requirements.Part of this discrepancy may come from instrument error,and part of it may come from representative error because of not-exact match of in situ and satellite measurements.Although CYGNSS observations do well on the comparison against in situ winds,much work is needed to be done to increase the satellite data accuracy.
3 Applications
High-resolution,time-resolved sea surface wind datasets are needed to better understand,assess,and predict the complex mass and energy interchange processes of atmosphere and ocean,as well as to document any changes that occur because of long-term fluc
tuations,such as Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and coastal upwelling events.Global or tropical sampling for near-surface measurements is necessary to create the required datasets for these phenomena.Analyzing CYGNSS data from the perspective of eight tracks of specular points may enhance the accuracy and the spatio-temporal sampling of retrieved winds.In this section,we apply the results about the MJO and equatorial eastern Indian Ocean coastal upwelling events to discuss the potential applications of CYGNSS observations.
One of the most distinctive signals of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is the upscale development and organization of convection in the Indian Ocean.To estimate the fidelity with respect to eastward propagation of MJO,30-60 day filtered 850 hPa and 10 m zonal wind anomalies are regressed against the filtered wind anomalies averaged over an equatorial Indian Ocean box (60-90°E,5°S-5°N),respectively,for time lags from day -20 to day +20.The lag-longitude sections of the regression coefficients are computed over longitudes 30°E-150°W by averaging the coefficients in the 10°S-10°N latitudinal band.The regression coefficient plots with respect to the reference box are shown in Figure 5.The maximum positive regression coefficients are located in the 60-90°E longitudinal band on day -5 to day+5.The eastward propagation phase speed of 5 m/s observed in wind fields is overlaid as a dashed line on all plots for comparison.The observed eastward propagating wind signals are reasonably detected by both 850 hPa and 10 m winds.Thus,10 m wind can be used to detect the MJO signals,suggesting a potential application of CYGNSS observations.
To further show the potential applications of satellite winds in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean,we compare the coastal upwelling indices against SST anomalies near the Java Island.The coastal upwelling indices are estimated from CCMP 10 m winds,and SST is available from Remote Sensing Systems Optimally Interpolated SST daily products at 25 km resolution.The time evolution of coastal upwelling indices shows remarkable agreement with that of SST anomalies from 2000 to 2011 (Fig.6).When these indices decrease in the second half of the year,the SST anomalies also decrease.The standard deviations of upwelling indices and SST anomalies are 16.35 and 1.32.Such tight relationship between upwelling indices and SST variations suggests that the dynamical responses of SST in eastern equatorial Indian Ocean to atmospheric forcing exhibits a striking feature,with upwelling being associated with an enhanced offshore Ekman transport and wind speed.Sea surface wind is a good indicator to detect the intensity of coastal upwelling.
4 Conclusion
Near-surface winds over the ocean are major contributors to the momentum and energy fluxes at the air-sea interface.To understand the complex mass and energy interchange processes of atmosphere and ocean,high quality of sea surface wind product is key to properly modeling and forecasting the genesis and intensification of phenomena in the atmosphere and the ocean.The limitations of existing satellite measurements of sea surface winds under rainfall conditions become even more severe.By combining the all-weather performance of GPS-based bistatic scatterometry with the sampling properties of a dense satellite constellation,CYGNSS mission measures the ocean surface wind field with unprecedented temporal resolution and spatial coverage,under all precipitating conditions,and over the full dynamic range of wind speeds experienced in tropical cyclones.In short,the CYNSS observation has the advantages as follows:1.Little to no rainfall effect;2.Quick revisit time.
To verify the performance of satellite measurements,CYGNSS observations over the tropical areas between 35°N and 35°S are evaluated against in situ winds from Xisha flux tower in SCS and moored buoy winds from RAMA buoy network over the Indian Ocean,TAO/TRITON over the Pacific and PIRATA over the Atlantic during August-October 2017.Validation of CYGNSS winds shows maximum collocations in the Pacific Ocean due to the larger group of moored buoys in this area.The comparison of satellite and in situ winds are temporally and spatially separated within 15 minutes and 0.2°.CYGNSS winds show a mean RMSD of 2.17 m/s with respect to in situ winds,suggesting that wind speeds observed by CYGNSS agree with in situ winds.
CYNSS observations have many potential applications,such as the detection of MJO and coastal upwelling signals.The version of CYGNSS winds updated with space-time homogeneity is better for studying the Indian Ocean and Western-Pacific Warm Pool.High quality and high temporal and spatial resolution sea surface wind data product from CYNSS will advance the study of earth sciences.
