Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
Evolution of data format technology
Compared with the 2011 version of the standard, QX/T 139-2020 mainly achieves three aspects of upgrades:
- Focusing on polar-orbiting satellite radiance data, deleting the original file naming specification
- Adding 8 new instrument identifiers such as ATMS and CrIS
- Introducing the BUFR coding system, compatible with WMO international standards
Comparison of key data structures
| Element type | 2011 version | 2020 version | Description of changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic information | 19 items | 21 items | Added satellite orbit altitude (Sat_scalti) |
| Extended information | None | 8 items | Added cloud water content, ocean surface wind speed and other elements |
| Encoding method | Binary | Binary+BUFR | Compatible with international meteorological data exchange standards |
Typical application scenarios
FY-3D satellite data processing example
When processing HIRAS instrument data:
- Confirm satellite ID 523 and instrument ID 955 according to Appendix A
- Extract brightness temperature data of 1370 channels according to the format of Table 1
- Use the BUFR compression encoding rules in Section 5.2 to process the scan point data
Implementation suggestions
- Data quality control: Pay special attention to the quality identification of the Obs_dataqual field
- International collaboration: When processing MetOp satellite data, the land surface identification defined by WMO should be used
- Hyperspectral data: Instruments such as AIRS need to select channels before encoding
Highlights of standard technology
| Technical features | Description | Application value |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic bit width encoding | Variable length storage is achieved through descriptors such as 201134 | Save more than 30% storage space |
| Delay repetition factor | 031002 descriptor defines the number of channels | Compatible with instruments with different spectral resolutions |
| Missing value unified processing | All-1 encoding indicates missing measurement | Ensure data integrity |
