气象卫星观测的优势和特点
综合参数观测优势
与其它观测方法相比,气象卫星是从大气层 外这个新视角观测地球—大气系统的,所以有些重要的气 候变量,特别是通过整个垂直方向大气层的积分参数,如 地气系统的反照率、大气顶的地气系统的射出长波辐射, 只能通过气象卫星观测才能获得。 目前已成功地从气象卫星观测资料中导出了全球大气温度 和湿度廓线、辐射平衡、海陆表面温度及云顶温度、风场、 云参数、冰雪覆盖、云中液态水含量和降水量、臭氧总量 和廓线、陆地下垫面状态、植被状况等诸多重要气候和环 境参数,这是任何其他观测手段所不能观测的。

Orbits of Earth Observation Satellites The orbit is the path taken by the artificial satellites including earth observation satellites when they fly around the earth. There are several types of orbits, and the orbit is selected depending on purposes of the satellites. Earth observation satellites have a major mission to observe the entire earth, so they circle the most suitable Sunsynchronous sub-recurrent orbit.Sun-synchronous subrecurrent orbit Sun-synchronous sub-recurrent orbit is a combination of sun-synchronous orbit and sub-recurrent orbit.
