Elevated duct can be measured through direct or indirect ways.Nevertheless

both of these traditional methods are inadequate because direct measurement can only obtain single-point information

while indirect measurement can not obtain multidimensional information with high temporal and spatial resolution.Geostationary meteorological satellite can be used to monitor ocean atmospheric environment because of its ability to capture four-dimensional information with high temporal and spatial resolution.This paper presents a foreign inversion method of elevated duct based on geostationary meteorological satellite data

and the applicability of this method was verified with cloud classification and cloud top temperature productions from FY-2G

ground-based meteorological observation and radiosonde data in Chinese regional seas.Several key research aspects are needed to be solved for setting up the method in Chinese regional seas as

which include: Using high-precision cloud-top temperature data

selecting appropriate standard pressure level from 850hPa or 700hPa

obtaining values of empirical parameters according to local-area radiosonde data

and setting up a local parameterization schemes.The verification of applicability for the method in Chinese regional seas will be carried out

positive result of which can potentially see as an effective new means used in monitoring elevated duct in Chinese regional seas.
