摘要: 本文基于MODIS和CALIPSO卫星遥感资料,分析了2012~2022年中国近海日间低云(云顶高度低于2 km)的分布特征及其物理特性(云滴有效半径、云水路径以及光学厚度)的时空特征。结果显示:(1) 统计特征上,云滴有效半径平均值为10.96 μm,云水路径平均值为74.48 g·m2,云光学厚度COT平均值为11.3,相比于西北太平洋远海的低云较小。(2) 空间上,中国近海低云云频最大值出现在南海北部的近岸海区,在渤海海区最低。云滴有效半径在近岸海域较小,向远海递增。云光学厚度高值区集中于近岸,对应云滴有效半径的低值区。(3) 季节上,低云云频表现为冬季高,夏季低的特征。云滴有效半径夏季最大,云水路径与光学厚度冬季最高。(4) 年际变化上,大部分海区低云云频在2012~2022年间有减少趋势,云滴有效半径和云水路径有增大趋势,低云的光学厚度在近岸海区表现为降低趋势。
Abstract: This study investigates daytime low cloud (cloud top height < 2 km) over China’s coastal seas from 2012 to 2022, utilizing MODIS and CALIPSO data. We analyse the spatial distribution, seasonal cycle, and interannual variability of low cloud frequency and physical parameters—including cloud effective radius (CER), cloud water path (CWP), and optical thickness (COT). Results indicate that: (1) Statistically, the mean values of CER, CWP, and COT are 10.96 μm, 74.48  g·m2, and 11.3, respectively. These values are generally lower than those reported for low clouds over the open Northwest Pacific. (2) Spatially, the highest frequency of low clouds occurs over the nearshore areas of the northern South China Sea, while the lowest frequency is found in the Bohai Sea. The CER is smaller in coastal waters and increases toward the distant sea. Regions with high COT are concentrated along the coast, corresponding to areas of smaller CER. (3) Seasonally, low cloud frequency is higher in winter and lower in summer. CER peaks in summer, whereas both CWP and COT reach their maxima in winter. (4) Interannually, from 2012 to 2022, low cloud frequency exhibited a decreasing trend over most sea areas, while CER and CWP generally increased. In contrast, COT showed a declining trend in coastal regions.
