Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of data processing technology, in particular to the field of weather radar data processing, and specifically relates to a data feature enhanced artificial intelligence dual-polarization radar quantitative precipitation estimation method. Background Art

[0002] Dual-Polarization Radar (Dual-Pol Radar) is a more advanced meteorological radar technology than traditional single-polarization radar. Traditional radar uses only one polarization signal (usually horizontal polarization) to detect the reflection characteristics of precipitation particles, while dual-polarization radar sends and receives horizontal and vertical polarization signals at the same time. By comparing the reflection differences between the two polarization signals, dual-polarization radar can provide information about the shape, size, phase (such as rain, snow, hail, etc.) and distribution of precipitation particles. This additional information gives dual-polarization radar a clear advantage in weather forecasting, precipitation intensity estimation, storm monitoring and disaster warning, and can significantly improve the precision and accuracy of precipitation estimation in complex weather systems.

[0003] Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) is a key technology for meteorological and hydrological monitoring. Traditional meteorological radars only use reflectivity factors to establish precipitation estimation formulas, resulting in large inaccuracies in precipitation estimates. Dual-polarization radars can provide more abundant atmospheric cloud physics information, thereby further improving the accuracy of precipitation estimates. Current dual-polarization radars mainly use reflectivity factors, differential reflectivity, and differential phase shift rates to establish precipitation estimation formulas. This technical method usually underestimates heavy precipitation because the precipitation process itself is highly dynamic and uncertain. The precipitation estimation formula established only by directly observing radar parameters cannot accurately describe the physical characteristics of precipitation cloud generation and disappearance.

[0004] Therefore, how to extract effective precipitation evolution features from dual-polarization radar data and establish a stable and reliable precipitation estimation model is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. In addition, there are differences in precipitation mechanisms under different geographical and climatic conditions. How to build a universal quantitative precipitation estimation method to adapt to complex and changeable weather systems is also an important issue. These challenges involve multiple technical fields such as data processing, feature extraction, statistical modeling, and machine learning. It is necessary to innovatively integrate multiple methods to break through the existing technical bottlenecks and realize the high-precision and high-efficiency conversion of radar signals into quantitative precipitation estimation products.

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms used are only for the purpose of description and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0057] The following will be combined with Figure 1 - Figure 2 to describe the artificial intelligence dual-polarization radar quantitative precipitation estimation method with data feature enhancement provided by the present invention.

[0058] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides an artificial intelligence dual-polarization radar quantitative precipitation estimation method with enhanced data features. It generally includes four parts. One is the acquisition and processing of dual-polarization radar observation data; the second is the method for constructing the probability density function of the dual-polarization radar; the third is the method for constructing the joint probability density function of three variables; and the fourth is the method for constructing a rolling-updated artificial intelligence quantitative precipitation estimation data set.

[0059] The specific steps are as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0060] Step 1: Method for acquiring and preprocessing dual-polarization radar data.

[0061] Specifically, it includes:

[0062] Extract the azimuth, elevation, and radial distance information from the dual-polarization radar observation data;

[0063] According to the azimuth, elevation, and radial distance information, map the dual-polarization radar observation data into a three-dimensional spatial grid structure;

[0064] Establish a data set of three variables, namely reflectivity factor, differential reflectivity, and differential phase shift rate, in each spatial grid to form a three-variable dual-polarization radar data set, denoted as:

[0065] ;

[0066] Perform standardization processing on each variable of the three-variable dual-polarization radar data set to eliminate the influence of different variable dimension differences and improve the Gaussian model fitting quality in the probability density function construction step, and obtain a three-dimensional spatial grid structure data set, denoted as:

[0067] ;

[0068] In the formula, represents the dual-polarization radar spatial grid data set, and the subscript indicates the variable in the data set; respectively represent the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the space, is the range of the horizontal and vertical coordinates; is the reflectivity factor, is the differential reflectivity, is the differential phase shift rate; represents the three-dimensional spatial grid structure data set after standardization processing, and are the mean and variance of each variable respectively.

[0069] Step 2: Method for window partitioning of dual-polarization radar observation data.

[0070] To extract the statistical parameters reflecting the precipitation evolution characteristics from radar observation data, the dual-polarization radar observation data updated at 6-minute intervals within each hour are divided into data windows with 10 consecutive time steps as a group (corresponding to 60 minutes of rolling data within 1 hour), and each window contains the radar observation values at 10 observation time steps.

[0071] Step 3: Establish a dual-Gaussian function model for a single variable.

[0072] Use the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to perform fitting analysis on the dual-polarization radar variables within the rolling time window. Apply the GMM algorithm to each group of data to fit the dual-Gaussian distribution function, and calculate the weights, the first and second Gaussian means, and the first and second Gaussian variances of the dual-Gaussian function for each radar variable, a total of 5 variables, which are used to describe the probability distribution characteristics of the radar variable during this time period. During the modeling process, it is assumed that the radar data obeys a Gaussian mixture model composed of the linear weighting of two normal distributions, and its expression is as follows:

[0073] ;

[0074] In the formula, is the dual-Gaussian function, and are the first and second Gaussian functions, is the dual-Gaussian weight, and are the mean parameters of the first and second Gaussian functions, and are the variance parameters of the first and second Gaussian functions.

[0075] Step 4: Establish a three-dimensional dual-Gaussian function model for the joint of three variables.

[0076] Based on the data feature enhancement method of the three-dimensional joint probability density function.

[0077] Based on the dual-Gaussian probability density function, construct a three-dimensional joint probability density function to perform joint data feature enhancement on all variables in the three-dimensional space grid structure dataset, and obtain a three-dimensional space grid structure enhanced feature dataset.

[0078] In order to accurately describe various detailed characteristics of the cloud precipitation physical process in radar data, in this embodiment, based on the dual-Gaussian form probability density function, a three-dimensional joint probability density function is further constructed to enhance data features. Using the three-dimensional dual-Gaussian function model (3D Gaussian Mixture Model, 3D-GMM), perform joint modeling on three key dual-polarization parameters of the radar (reflectivity factor, differential reflectivity, differential phase shift rate), which is expressed as:

[0079] ;

[0080] ;

[0081] Wherein, is a three-dimensional double Gaussian probability density function, is a single Gaussian three-dimensional probability density function containing three radar variables, represents the subscript of the first or second Gaussian function; is the mean of each dual-polarization variable, is the covariance between each dual-polarization variable.

[0082] To solve the model parameters, the Expectation Maximization algorithm is adopted. The posterior probability of each data point belonging to each Gaussian component is calculated according to the current parameters, and the weights, means, and covariance matrices are updated according to these posterior probabilities. After multiple iterations until the parameters converge, a double Gaussian mixture probability density function that can fully describe the three-dimensional characteristics of radar observation data is finally obtained. Still taking every continuous 10 radar observation times as a sliding time window, a sample matrix containing three variables is constructed, where each sample matrix contains 10 observation time data, and each row of samples contains the values of 3 variables. The total number of extractable feature quantities is: 3 radar parameters, 1 dual Gaussian function weight variable, 6 mean variables, 6 variance variables, and 3 covariance variables, totaling 19 feature variables.

[0083] Compared with independently modeling each variable separately, this method can simultaneously consider the correlation and co-variation characteristics between variables, which helps to extract more accurate and rich statistical feature information. This method can provide richer physical features for distinguishing echo features of different cloud precipitation types in subsequent artificial intelligence-based quantitative precipitation estimation.

[0084] Step Five: A dual-polarization radar artificial intelligence quantitative precipitation estimation method with rolling update.

[0085] The 19 three-dimensional joint probability density function parameter grid data obtained are used as feature variables for artificial intelligence training (including: grid reflectivity factor, differential reflectivity, differential phase shift rate, three-dimensional double Gaussian probability density function weights, three first Gaussian means, three second Gaussian means, three first Gaussian variances, three second Gaussian variances, covariance between reflectivity factor and differential reflectivity, covariance between differential reflectivity and differential phase shift rate, covariance between reflectivity factor and differential phase shift rate), and the precipitation data corresponding to the grid are used as target variables. In order to include the evolution characteristics of precipitation cloud systems, new feature data for each hour window are generated every 6 minutes to achieve real-time rolling update. The random forest algorithm is used to establish the relationship between feature variables and target variables, and the relationship model between radar data and precipitation data is trained to finally realize quantitative precipitation estimation.

[0086] To verify the effect of the method of the present invention, the radar data and precipitation observation data from May to September 2022 are used as artificial intelligence training data in the present invention, and the differences in quantitative precipitation estimation effects between the method of the present invention and traditional methods are compared. The results are as Figure 2 shown. In the effect comparison, the radar data is used as the feature variable, and the precipitation observation data is used as the target variable. The random forest algorithm is used to train with 100 random forest trees. The traditional algorithm only uses 3 variables, namely the reflectivity factor, differential reflectivity and differential phase shift rate of the dual-polarization radar, as feature variables to estimate precipitation. The results show that there is a large underestimation in the traditional method for heavy precipitation, as Figure 2 shown in (a) below. It is relatively discrete in the scatter plot of the estimated value and the actual value. Using the data processing method of the present invention can significantly improve the accuracy of quantitative precipitation estimation, as Figure 2 shown in (b) below. The root mean square error of quantitative precipitation estimation in the traditional scheme is reduced from 5.9 mm to 3.2 mm, and the accuracy is improved by 46%. Especially for short-term heavy precipitation (hourly precipitation > 20 mm), the method of the present invention has a high estimation accuracy through the dual-polarization radar.

[0087] The verification results prove that the method of the present invention significantly improves the accuracy of quantitative precipitation estimation. The present invention aims at the problem of the lack of physical characteristics of precipitation cloud generation and dissipation in current quantitative precipitation estimation. A feature enhancement method for artificial intelligence training data of dual-polarization radar quantitative precipitation estimation based on three-dimensional joint double Gaussian probability density function is established. The main advantages are as follows:

[0088] Feature enhancement: The probability density function is introduced to process the radar data, enhancing the cloud precipitation physical characteristics of the data, effectively expanding the input parameters of the artificial intelligence model, and improving the model's perception ability of precipitation characteristics. For the first time, the probability density function characteristics of dual-polarization radar variables are used for quantitative precipitation estimation. Especially by constructing features through a rolling time window, it can better reflect the dynamic evolution process of radar variables.
