A Critical Rainfall Estimation Method Based on Spatial Rainfall Distribution

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for estimating critical rainfall based on the spatial distribution of rainfall. Firstly, the confluence flow velocity in each grid unit in the hydrological response unit is estimated; Confluence time grid; then spatial interpolation is performed on the period-by-period rainfall data observed at the station to obtain a rainfall spatial distribution grid, and combined with the confluence time grid to obtain a period-by-period dynamic rainfall index; the accumulated dynamic rainfall before the flood peak during the flood process is counted index; then count the tension water content saturation of the day before the flood process, that is, the initial soil water content saturation; finally judge whether the flood is a super-warning flood, and make the cumulative dynamic rainfall index of multiple floods - initial soil water saturation dispersion Point map, and mark the points corresponding to the super-warning flood, and draw the critical rainfall line in combination with the points corresponding to the super-warning flood.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydrology, in particular to a critical rainfall estimation method based on the spatial distribution of rainfall. Background technique [0002] There are many rivers in my country, with a drainage area of ​​200 to 3000 km 2 There are nearly 9,000 small and medium watersheds in China. In recent years, affected by climate change, sudden floods of small and medium-sized rivers caused by local heavy rainfall have occurred frequently, and have become the main disasters causing casualties. Because small and medium-sized watersheds are usually located in remote mountainous areas with complex terrain and steep slopes, rapidly rising floods can easily cause flood disasters that endanger the personal safety of local residents and the social economy. Early warning has become an important issue to be solved urgently. [0003] The critical rainfall method is a method widely used at home and abroad. Critical rainfal...

Problems solved by technology

However, in the current process of estimating critical rainfall, the spatial distribution characteristics of rainfall and watershed topography are often not considered

The heavy rainfall process in which the center of the storm is close to the downstream often causes sudden floods in the downstream rivers. Such flash floods rise very quickly, leaving short reaction time for personnel and property transfers, which easily cause large economic losses.

However, such floods are easily ignored by the current critical rainfall method, thus leaving hidden dangers for the prevention and control of mountain torrents in small and medium-sized watersheds.

[0006] Therefore, ignoring the spatial distribution characteristics of rainfall is not conducive to the development of early warning of flash floods using the critical rainfall method.
