Abstract
Sea surface velocity (SSV) and sea surface height (SSH) are among the most crucial parameters in an oceanic dynamic environment. Using spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to obtain high-resolution, largescale survey area, high observation frequency, and high-precision ocean dynamic parameters is advantageous. However, the hybrid baseline InSAR phase data include components from both SSV and SSH, making it challenging to distinguish them and affecting inversion accuracy without additional information. The PIE-1 constellation, the world’s first four-satellite distributed InSAR system, was successfully launched into orbit on March 30, 2023. This constellation can form multiple interferometric pairs by combining two satellites, enabling the potential to extract SSV and SSH from hybrid phase signals simultaneously. In this study, two pioneering and fundamental works were conducted: (1) An integrated current–height inversion model was developed based on the multichannel likelihood function, with error analysis performed according to PIE-1 parameters; (2) The detailed data processing scheme for the first simultaneous inversion of SSV and SSH based on spaceborne InSAR data was presented. The inversion results were compared to Doppler centroid analysis (DCA)-derived Doppler velocity and reference data from the ESA’s Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS). Both qualitative and quantitative comparisons validated the effectiveness and accuracy of the inversion results. This approach represents an effective technique for simultaneous inversion of SSV and SSH in future multi-baseline spaceborne/airborne InSAR systems.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
