It can achieve observations of atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles with high vertical and temporal resolutions. Presently, convolutional neural network algorithms are relatively less used in the field of atmospheric profile retrieval, and different convolutional neural network approaches have different characteristics. The one-dimensional convolutional neural network scheme 1D-Net and two three-dimensional retrieval schemes U-Net 1 and U-Net 2 are used to achieve atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles under all skies based on GIIRS-observed brightness temperatures in this paper. After validation with test training data, the retrievals of different schemes derived from actual GIIRS observations and level 2 operational products were verified with ERA5 reanalysis data and radiosonde measurements in summer and winter respectively. The retrieved three-dimensional temperature and humidity fields from U-Net 1 and U-Net 2 are closer to the ERA5 reanalysis field in both distribution and value than the retrievals from the 1D-Net scheme and level 2 operational products. In particular, the inversion field of the U-Net 2 scheme is more continuous in space. Compared with radiosonde observations, the accuracy of the level 2 temperature product is the highest when the field of view is completely clear both in winter and summer month. The root mean square error (RMSE) of temperature retrieval of the two U-Net schemes is the second highest, and the RMSE and bias of the 1D-Net scheme are both large. Two U-Net schemes overestimate the temperature and humidity slightly in winter and underestimate it in summer in both clear and all sky cases. Under all sky conditions, the temperature retrieval RMSE and bias of the two U-Net schemes above 800 hPa are lower than those of the level 2 products, especially the U-Net 2 scheme with an RMSE of approximately 2.5 K. The U-Net 2 scheme bias is the smallest, with a value of approximately 0.5 K in winter. Since the level 2 product only provides the atmospheric temperature above the cloud top, it indicates that its temperature product accuracy is very low when the field of view is influenced by clouds. The humidity retrieval RMSEs of the two U-Net schemes is within 2 g\/kg, better than that of the 1D-Net scheme. The retrieval accuracy of the U-Net 2 scheme is approximately 0.3 g\/kg better than that of the U-Net 1 scheme below 600 hPa in winter. Level 2 does not provide humidity products. The summer humidity retrieval is worse than in winter. In general, among the three deep machine learning algorithms, 1D-Net has a large retrieval error, and the temperature and humidity from U-Net 2 have the highest accuracy. The retrieval speeds of the two U-Net schemes are nearly the same, and both are faster than that of scheme 1D-Net.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14205112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]],"date-time":"2022-10-13T22:21:11Z","timestamp":1665699671000},"page":"5112","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Comparison of Three Convolution Neural Network Schemes to Retrieve Temperature and Humidity Profiles from the FY4A GIIRS Observations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Shuhan","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Key Laboratory for Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation of China Meteorological Administration, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Key Laboratory for Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation of China Meteorological Administration, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"776","DOI":"10.1175\/2010JAMC2441.1","article-title":"Warning Information in a Preconvection Environment from the Geostationary Advanced Infrared Sounding System-A Simulation Study Using the IHOP Case","volume":"50","author":"Li","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
