Most ReadThe high-precision navigation of the remote sensing instruments onboard FengYun-4 (FY-4) geostationary meteoro-logical satellite is the basis for instrument calibration, product retrieval, and quantitative application. The geosynchronous interfero-metric infrared sounder (GIIRS) onboard FY-4 satellite, the new generation geostationary meteorological satellite in China, is the first hyperspectral vertical detector operating in the geostationary orbit in the world. In the process of hyperspectral detection, it is key to keep the "resident" observation target stable with high precision. The FY-4 satellite uses an advanced three-axis stable attitude control platform, which brings great flexibility to earth observation and great challenges to the high-precision navigation of the GIIRS. The stability of the high-precision observation target requires the cooperation of satellite platform, attitude control, the instru-ment and the ground system, which process is very complicated. Based on the introduction of the detection principle and working mode design of the GIIRS, the key technology of satellite-ground integrated navigation is researched. The resident accuracy as well as the navigation accuracy are tested and analyzed using the measured data from the GIIRS in orbit. The results show that the GIIRS achieves a resident accuracy of 1/10 pixel and a navigation accuracy of 1 pixel, laying a good foundation for quantitative applications including numerical weather prediction.
Clouds and precipitation are vital to the global water and energy cycle and act as crucial elements in maintaining the Earth's energy balance.

Integrated circuit nanotechnology is gradually approaching the physical limit. Therefore, relying on heterogeneous integration technology to continue and expand Moore Law is becoming increasingly important. The vertical interconnection of signals from various integrated chips is achieved through technologies such as through silicon via (TSV) or through glass via (TGV), while high-density interconnection in the horizontal direction can be achieved through rewiring layer (RDL) technology. The article summarizes the comparison between TGV technology and adapter boards, elaborates on the current application status in the field of passive systems and RF 3D integration, analyzes the TGV process capability and the current technical progress of domestic and foreign manufacturers, and explores the existing technical difficulties and future development trends of the TGV.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite is a new generation ocean observation satellite. It is used to provide a new method for wave detection by adopting the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observation system at a small inci-dence angle. Based on previous studies on SAR wave spectrum inversion, the applicability of the wave spectrum inversion algorithm for SWOT satellite data is studied. The effects of wind speed, wind direction, and main wave direction on wave spectrum inversion are discussed. The effective wave height of the inversion is verified using the ERA5 dataset from the European Center for Mediumrange Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The results show that the root mean square errors (RMSE) of the effective wave height inver-sion are 0.30 m, 0.19 m, and 0.64 m at wind speeds of 7-9 m/s, 9-11 m/s, and >11 m/s, respectively. The scatter indices (SI) are 16.74%, 7.03%, and 19.61%, respectively. It can be proven that the SWOT satellite, as a small incidence angle SAR, has the poten-tial to invert wave spectra and wave parameters.
From March 27-29, 2021, a large-scale and prolonged dust pollution event occurred in the north of China. This study analyzed the optical properties, vertical distribution, and transport patterns of dust aerosols using data from MODIS and ground-based lidar (AMPLE-001), combined with the HYSPLIT model. Additionally, hourly data from the China Environmental Monitoring Station and aerosol optical depth (AOD) data from MCD19A2 and AERONET were used to verify the accuracy of the ground-based lidar measurements. The key findings are as follows: ① The dust was primarily transported at an altitude of 4 km over the northern Gobi Desert, and mixed with local pollutants and then settled. ② During the dust event, particulate matter concentrations surged dra-matically. PM10 concentrations peaked at over 2 492.65 μg/m³, while PM2.5 reached a maximum of 236.48 μg/m³. The highest record-ed AOD was 4.1, with dust pollution being most severe in the southern and eastern parts of Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei. ③ In terms of accuracy validation, comparisons between AOD values from sun photometers and lidar showed a strong correlation, with a corre-lation coefficient of 95.63%. Similarly, the PM10 and PM2.5 data from ground-based lidar were highly consistent with official monitor-ing data, with correlation coefficients of 85.93% and 98.47%, respectively. These results validate the detection capability and accura-cy of the AMPLE-001 ground-based lidar system.
