résumé

Himawari-8 (H8), as a new generation of geostationary meteorological satellites that observes full-disk images (images of the Earth as seen from the satellite) per 10 min, was launched by Japan Meteorological Agency to investigate aerosol characteristics. The Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) onboard Himawari-8 has similar spectral bands with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). This study applies the Dark Target (DT) method for Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) retrieval from AHI data. The atmospheric effect is established for the AHI data over AErosol RObotic NETwork sites. The ratio of surface reflectance between the shortwave infrared and visible bands is then obtained. This ratio serves as a priori knowledge for the surface reflectance estimation in the atmosphere-surface coupling model. Assuming that the aerosol type is continental, we build a look-up table through the radiative transfer model. With the retrieval algorithm, the AOD is determined in the case of a minimum difference between simulated apparent reflectance and satellite observations. The algorithm was used to retrieve AOD over the Beijing-Tianjing-Hebei area of China in May 2016. H8 AOD products were compared with MODIS products, and the results revealed a good spatial coincidence, with the correlation coefficientR being 0.852. The H8 AOD products were validated with AERONET observations, and they showed good linear relations, with the correlation coefficient R2 being better than 0.88. The high temporal resolution products were used to analyze aerosol spatial distribution and diurnal variation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Results show that H8 AOD retrieval based on the DT method has certain feasibility and potential. AOD products can express the high temporal variation of aerosol and are thus potentially useful in atmospheric environmental pollution monitoring.
