摘要: 海表动力学参数体现了海洋物质能量平衡、气候变化等重要海气相互作用过程. 在星载测量条件下, 对较高卫星平台运动速度与海表动力学参数共同作用的回波多普勒特性的研究十分必要. 利用线性叠加理论, 建立随时间变化的动态海面模型. 基于全球海表流场多尺度结构观测卫星计划(OSCOM)所拟定的卫星参数, 主要分析风参数对回波多普勒特性的影响. 随着风速的增加, 回波多普勒偏移明显增大. 在顺轨向观测时, 回波多普勒质心偏移量在顺逆风向上略微不对称, 约90°风向时达到最小值. 此外, 当海面风速为10 m·s–1时, 风区长度由不成熟海浪成长为充分发展的海浪时, 长波的倾斜调制增强, 多普勒速度估计相差0.56 m·s–1. 考虑风速为10 m·s–1, 观测方向与风向相同时, 破碎波对Ka波段后向散射系数的贡献. 相比于不考虑破碎波情况的多普勒质心偏移约为71.4 Hz, 导致对径向速度估计相差约为0.3 m·s–1.Abstract: The ocean surface dynamic parameters reflect important air-sea interaction processes, such as the material and energy balance, and climate change. Under spaceborne measurement conditions, it is necessary to study the echo Doppler spectrum characteristics formed by the high operating speed of the satellite in conjunction with the sea surface dynamic parameters. In this paper, a time-varying dynamic sea surface model is established via the existing linear random superposition theory to simulate ocean surfaces. Based on the satellite parameters defined by the Ocean Surface Current multiscale Observation Mission (OSCOM), this work derives echo Doppler spectra involving different wind parameter effects under medium-incidence-angle Bragg scattering conditions. As wind speed increases, the sea surface roughness and root mean square height increase accordingly, resulting in the stronger backscatter modulation, and the echo Doppler shift increases significantly. When observed along the track, the echo Doppler centroid of the Doppler spectrum with wind direction is slightly asymmetric at the downwind and upwind, and reaches a minimum at a 90° wind direction. The analysis results of the wind fetch show that when the wind speed is 10 m·s–1 and the length of wind fetch increases from a-10 km-developing wave to a fully-developed wave, the velocity of the sea surface increases, and the tilt modulation of the long wave increases, resulting in the Doppler shift increases, and the estimated Doppler centroid difference is 0.56 m·s–1. Finally, this study considers the contribution of breaking waves to the co-polarized backscatter and analyzes the influence of both the Doppler centroid and velocity estimation. Analysis of echo Doppler spectrum under the condition of wave breaking shows that when the wind speed is 10 m·s–1 and the observation azimuth is the same as the wind direction, the Doppler centroid offset is about 71.4 Hz, resulting in a deviation of about 0.3 m·s–1 for the radial velocity estimation compared with the case without considering the breaking wave.
