Abstract
The temperature, pressure and specific humidity data of Sentinel-6 (S6) products are compared with the ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) and radio sounding in 2022. The overall STD of temperature, pressure and specific humidity for S6-ERA5 and S6-Radiosonde are 0.74 ℃, 0.45 hPa, 0.3 g/kg, 1.33 ℃, 0.51 hPa, 0.34 g/kg respectively. The study found that the consistency of these three atmospheric parameters between S6 and ERA5 is better than that between S6 and radiosonde. In the aspect of temporal characteristics, the specific humidity STD of S6-ERA5 decrease successively in summer, autumn, spring and winter. In the aspect of spatial characteristics, S6 has better retrieval ability of temperature values in the troposphere, but the maximum negative bias value of temperature between S6 and ERA5 is −1.57 ℃ at 41.7 km. The pressure bias values of S6 and ERA5 fluctuate greatly below the troposphere. In addition, the STD values of S6-ERA5 and S6-Radiosonde specific humidity data both show the decreasing characteristics in sequence from low to high latitudes.
期刊介绍:
The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth''s surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.
NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).
All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
