Abstract
As the second generation polar-orbiting meteorological satellite in China, FY-3 has been in operation for more than 7 years. Among the several Earth observing instruments, FY-3 is equipped with the Micro-Wave Radiation Imager (MWRI) and the Visible and Infrared Radiometer (VIRR), which can observe the global atmosphere, land, and ocean. A combined use of the multi-sensor remote sensing observations from FY-3 will enable us to extract comprehensive information of an Earth target. The multi-channel MWRI has a good ability to detect clouds and precipitation, although its spatial resolution changes with frequency. All VIRR channels have a high spatial resolution, but they can only obtain the information on the surface of a target. To get microwave signal at each VIRR pixel and enhance the calculated resolution of MWRI, in this study, a method is developed based on the principle of multi-information collocating, so that brightness temperature at each MWRI channel is collocated to a VIRR pixel.
