水体悬浮颗粒物吸收系数是水色遥感研究中的关键参数之一,为研究不同因素对吸收系数测量结果的影响,分别采用透射法(T法)、透射反射法(T-R法)和吸收法(A法)测量颗粒物吸收系数.结果表明,A法在测量悬浮颗粒物吸收系数时受滤膜差异性、滤膜含水量以及滤膜颗粒物分布不均匀等因素的影响较小,测量精度较高.对不同测量方法的光程放大因子的研究结果表明,不同测量方法,不同颗粒物富集量会有不同的光程放大因子.采用线性拟合的方法求得A法、T法和T-R法的平均光程放大因子为4.01、2.32和2.20,相关系数分别为0.90、0.80和0.87.对于A法和T-R法,采用二次多项式拟合的方法计算光程放大因子可以提高测量精度,相关系数分别为0.95和0.94.对比各影响因素对测量结果造成的平均相对误差发现,光程放大因子是颗粒物吸收系数测量最大的误差来源.
Absorption coefficient of suspended particulate matters in natural water is one of the key parameters in ocean color remote sensing.In order to study the influencing factors that affect the measurement,a series of experiments were designed to measure samples using transmittance method(T method),transmittance-reflectance method(T-R method) and absorptance method(A method).The results shows that absorption coefficient measured by the A method has a much lower error compared to the T method and T-R method due to influencing factors,such as filter-to-filter variations,water content of the filter,and homogeneity of filter load and so on.Another factor influence absorption coefficient is path-length amplification induced by multiple scattering inside the filter.To determine the path-length amplification,the true absorption was measured by AC-s(WetLabs).The linear fitting result shows that the mean path-length amplification is much higher for the A method than that of the T-R method and the T method(4.01 versus 2.20 and 2.32),and the corresponding correlation coefficient are 0.90,0.87 and 0.80.For the A method and the T-R method,higher correlation coefficients are calculated when using polynomial fitting,and the value are 0.95 and 0.94.Analysis of the mean relative error caused by different influencing factors indicates that path-length amplification is the largest error source in measuring the absorption coefficient.
