RESUMEN
To simplify the cross-calibration process and improve calibration frequency and accuracy, this paper proposes a cross-calibration method for the multispectral remote sensor Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) carried by Sentinel-2B using the hyperspectral remote sensor, that is, the satellite calibration spectrometer (SCS) carried by Hai Yang (HY)-1C, as the reference sensor and establishes the calibration process. Precise spectral response matching between SCS and MSI spectral channels is performed by the interpolation and iteration of hyperspectral data to eliminate the difference in band settings and significantly improve the accuracy of cross-calibration coefficients. The SNO-x inherited from the simultaneous nadir overpass (SNO) method is used as a prediction method to carry out cross-calibration imaging in mid- and low-latitude regions, which improves the cross-calibration frequency and broadens the dynamic range of calibration. The cross-calibration coefficients and offsets of MSI B1â¼B7 and B8a were obtained by processing the earth observation images of the MSI and SCS on January 24, 2019. Then, the cross-calibration coefficients and offsets are applied to the ocean, farmland and other ground objects with different reflectance, and the reliability and accuracy of the cross-calibration results are evaluated with the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) carried by Terra as a reference. To improve the accuracy of the evaluation, the spectral band adjustment factor between the corresponding channels of MSI and MODIS is used to correct the measured reflectance of MODIS based on the satellite calibration coefficient. The reflectance directly obtained by processing the MSI image is used as the MSI-measured reflectance, the reflectance obtained based on the cross-calibration coefficient is used as the MSI-calculated reflectance, and the reflectance corrected by the spectral band adjustment factor (SBAF) is used as the MODIS-calculated reflectance. The results show that the mean root-mean-square relative error (RMSRE) between the MODIS-calculated reflectance and the MSI-calculated reflectance is 2.16% and that the mean RMSRE between the MODIS-calculated reflectance and the MSI-measured reflectance is 3.05%, indicating that the reflectance corrected based on calibration coefficients is closer to the MODIS-calculated reflectance. Finally, each uncertainty source in the cross-calibration is analyzed, and the comprehensive uncertainty is found to be 4.03%, indicating that SCS can be used as a reference for MSI cross-calibration.
RESUMEN
To monitor the spectral position drift, expansion and contraction of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the satellite calibration spectrometer (SCS) of the HY-1C satellite during on-orbit operation, an onboard spectral calibration method based on a wavelength diffuser is proposed in this paper. This method uses the wavelength diffuser reflectance measured prelaunch as the standard spectrum, convolves it with the spectral response function of the SCS to obtain a reference spectrum, uses the measured data of the onboard SCS as the measured spectrum, and obtains the spectral drift and variation of the FWHM through spectral line matching. Generally, the spectral response function of a hyperspectral remote sensor follows a Gaussian model, and so does that of the SCS. The spectral calibration results obtained based on the onboard wavelength diffuser are validated and evaluated in comparison to calibration based on an oxygen absorption line. Preliminary results show that (1) the SCS spectral drift is negative, indicating a shift in the shortwave direction, and its absolute value is gradually decreasing with increasing on-orbit operation time; (2) the mean values of the central wavelength and FWHM errors between the two calibration methods are 0.08 nm and 0.20 nm, respectively, indicating that the spectral calibration method based on the wavelength diffuser has high accuracy and reliability; and (3) the SCS spaceborne spectral calibration error has the greatest impact on radiometric calibration in Band 18, with an uncertainty of 0.99%, while the uncertainty in the other bands is less than 0.33%, indicating that the spectral calibration uncertainty meets radiometric calibration accuracy requirements.
RESUMEN
A partial aperture onboard calibration method can solve the onboard calibration problems of some large aperture remote sensors, which is of great significance for the development trend of increasingly large apertures in optical remote sensors. In this paper, the solar diffuser reflectance degradation monitor (SDRDM) in the onboard calibration assembly (CA) of the FengYun-4 (FY-4) advanced geostationary radiance imager (AGRI) was used as the reference radiometer. It was designed for measuring the partial aperture factor (PAF) for the AGRI onboard calibration. First, the linear response count variation relationship between the two was established under the same radiance source input. Then, according to the known bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) of the solar diffuser (SD) in the CA, the relative reflectance ratio coefficient between the AGRI observation direction and the SDRDM observation direction was calculated. On this basis, the response count value of the AGRI and the SDRDM was used to realize the high-precision measurement of the PAF of the AGRI B1~B3 bands by simulating the AGRI onboard calibration measurement under the illumination of a solar simulator in the laboratory. According to the determination process of the relevant parameters of the PAF, the measurement uncertainty of the PAF was analyzed; this uncertainty was greater than 2.04% and provided an important reference for the evaluation of the onboard absolute radiometric calibration uncertainty after launch.
RESUMEN
As the reference radiometric calibration standard of sensors on the Haiyang-1C (HY-1C) satellite platform, the satellite calibration spectrometer (SCS) is equipped with an onboard calibration system composed of double solar diffusers and an erbium-doped diffuser to monitor the postlaunch radiometric response change. Herein, through onboard calibration data analysis, the calibration diffuser performance remains stable without degradation, and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra is adopted as a reference to repeatedly verify onboard radiometric calibration results by selecting different dates and reflectance scenes. The SCS equivalent reflectance is obtained by combining the mean digital number (DN) of the SCS crossing area image with the radiometric calibration coefficient. The spectral reflectance is obtained via interpolation and iteration, which is adopted as the actual MODIS incident pupil spectral reflectance because the small imaging time interval can be ignored and almost vertically observed, and it is convoluted with the MODIS spectral response function to obtain the predicted equivalent reflectance. Validation is completed by comparing the predicted MODIS equivalent reflectance to the measured value based on the onboard calibration coefficient. The results show that (1) the difference between the measured and predicted MODIS band equivalent reflectance is between -0.00466 and 0.0039, and (2) the percentage difference between the measured and predicted MODIS band equivalent reflectance ranges from 4.17% and 1.24%, indicating that the calibration system carried on HY-1C can perform high-precision SCS radiometric calibration, meeting the cross-calibration accuracy requirements of other loads on the same platform.
RESUMEN
As one of the most important ways of improving the calibration accuracy at present, the calibration method based on a solar diffuser(SD) is an independent calibration way with advantages of high accuracy, high frequency and high efficiency . The principles, methods and implementation process of on-orbit calibration based on the SD is described in this thesis. The radiance reference for calibration in space is found and the physical model of the on-orbit reflectance calibration is provided. The main factor which affects the calibration uncertainty is the determination of the SD bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) value by analyzing the physical models of on-orbit calibration. Thus, the timing selection of the on-orbit calibration is introduced and the BRDF in the range of angles variety within the calibration timing is tested in the lab. During the on-orbit calibration time, the high accuracy on-orbit calibration in the remote sensors' whole life is achieved by the accurate radiance input which is ensured by monitoring and correcting the SD BRDF value from its fabrication to its life end. Finally, the on-orbit calibration uncertainty is estimated based on the measurement levels of the parameters in the physical model. And the uncertainties of on-orbit reflectance calibration and method of radiance calibration are better than 2.03% and 2.04% by type B standard uncertainty evaluation method.
RESUMEN
2D MXenes have been found to be one of the most promising catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their excellent electronic conductivity, hydrophilic nature, porosity and stability. Nonmetallic (NM) element doping is an effective approach to enhance the HER catalytic performance. By using the density functional theory (DFT) method, we researched the effect of nonmetallic doping (different element types, variable doping concentrations) and optimal hydrogen absorption concentration on the surface of NM-Ti3C2O2 for HER catalytic activity and stability. The calculation results show that doping nonmetallic elements can improve their HER catalytic properties; the P element dopants catalyst especially exhibits remarkable HER performance (∆GH = 0.008 eV when the P element doping concentration is 100% and the hydrogen absorption is 75%). The origin mechanism of the regulation of doping on stability and catalytic activity was analyzed by electronic structures. The results of this work proved that by controlling the doping elements and their concentrations we can tune the catalytic activity, which will accelerate the further research of HER catalysts.
