Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of eco - hydrology, and particularly to a method for constructing a river water - sediment model for cold - region land surface processes. Background Art
[0002] Cold - region basins (such as the Qinghai - Tibet Plateau) are important sources of global water resources. The water - sediment dynamics in these regions are significantly exacerbated by glacier melting, permafrost degradation, snow cover changes, and extreme precipitation events. These changes not only affect the downstream water resource supply but also pose threats to the ecosystem, flood control safety, and infrastructure construction. Mathematical models are one of the main research methods for soil erosion and water - sediment dynamics in cold regions at present. However, traditional water - sediment mathematical models cannot effectively simulate physical processes unique to cold regions, such as thermal erosion (sediment release caused by glacier, snow, and permafrost melting), water erosion (driven jointly by rainfall), and water - ice - sediment coupling processes (scouring erosion of ice floes on riverbanks). In addition, existing models rarely consider the influence of geomorphic features (such as river length, river width, and slope) and water - sediment connectivity of cold - region rivers on sediment transport, resulting in simulation results deviating from reality. Moreover, under high - flow or extreme climate conditions, the simulation accuracy of traditional models decreases, making it difficult to meet the needs of future water - sediment flux prediction. To address the above problems, there is an urgent need for a cold - region water - sediment hydrological model that can comprehensively consider cryosphere processes, geomorphic features, and water - sediment connectivity and has high - precision prediction capabilities to cope with the technical challenges of cold - region basin management under the background of climate change.

For those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the descriptions in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.
[0082] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementation manners. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be reordered or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are only for clearly describing a certain embodiment and do not mean a necessary sequence unless it is stated that a certain sequence must be followed.
[0083] Such as Figure 1As shown, a method for constructing a river water and sediment model of land surface processes in cold regions provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. The following will be described in detail in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 for a detailed description.
[0084] As Figure 1 shown, in step S100, a target research basin is selected, the basin range ROI is extracted according to the DEM and the basin outlet location, and the water and sediment data and related basic data within the basin range are collected.
[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, four typical river source areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are selected as the main research areas, including the Indus River source area dominated by glacier-dominated runoff and sediment production processes (glacier proportion > 12%), the Yangtze River source area dominated by permafrost with both glaciers and snow cover, the Heihe River source area dominated by snowmelt processes (snowmelt runoff proportion > 16.1%), and the Yellow River source area dominated by precipitation and mixed with various processes. According to their DEM and basin outlet location, the basin range is extracted, and the water and sediment data and related climate, geomorphology, cryosphere, vegetation element data, etc. within the basin range are collected.
[0086] As Figure 1 shown, in step S200, the thermal erosion amount caused by temperature rise, the snowmelt erosion amount caused by snowmelt, the water erosion amount induced by precipitation, and the river ice erosion amount caused by the ice flood or ice scraping erosion of river ice in winter and spring seasons are calculated.
[0087] The above steps specifically include:
[0088] S210, using the thermal erosion module to calculate the surface erosion amount caused by temperature rise in the corresponding river section.
[0089] In this embodiment, the continuous rivers in the four river source areas are divided into one river section every 5 kilometers, numbered in sequence, and the runoff data and air temperature data of the corresponding catchment sub-basins of the river section are extracted to calculate the increased erosion amount caused by temperature rise.
[0090] Specifically, according to the sediment availability model, the thermal erosion equation of a given river section in a cold region basin is summarized, which generally shows the proximal erosion of the selected river section, that is, the surface or river bank erosion caused by factors such as temperature rise and permafrost degradation, including processes such as near-river thermal melting and collapse and bank freeze-thaw erosion. This equation can be summarized as:
[0091]
[0092] In the formula, T i represents the air temperature (°C) on the given i-th day, Q i is the runoff (m 3 / s) on the given i-th day, and a1, b1 are fitting parameters.
[0093] S220. Calculate the effective snowmelt volume and the corresponding snowmelt erosion amount for the corresponding river reach using the snowmelt erosion module.
[0094] In this embodiment, by extracting the NDVI data and snowmelt runoff data of the corresponding sub-watershed of a certain river reach, the erosion amount caused by snowmelt is calculated.
[0095] Specifically, snow and ice ablation on the slope mostly occurs in the early spring (initial melting period). During this period, vegetation can stabilize the soil, reduce snow erosion, intercept and delay water flow. We need to consider the interaction between the snowmelt process and vegetation cover in this item. Therefore, the calculation of snowmelt erosion needs to be subdivided, specifically including:
[0096] S221. Using the existing NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) dataset, select the catchment slope based on the boundary of the sub-watershed, and divide the scope of the sub-watershed through geographical information data such as the Digital Elevation Model (DEM), so as to determine the boundary of the catchment slope. Establish the sub-watershed boundary to restrict the snowmelt of its catchment slope, consider the potential impact of vegetation on snowmelt and sediment concentration, and calculate the vegetation cover of this catchment slope:
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, NDVI max is the NDVI value when the vegetation completely covers the ground, NDVI s is the NDVI value of bare soil, and f c is the vegetation cover of a certain catchment slope.
[0099] The calculation formula of NDVI is:
[0100]
[0101] Among them, NIR is the reflectance of the near-infrared band, and RED is the reflectance of the red band.
[0102] S222. Calculate the effective snowmelt runoff SMe of a certain river reach:
[0103]
[0104] In the formula, is the reciprocal of the vegetation cover, is the maximum value of this value within a hydrological year, SM is the snowmelt runoff of a certain catchment slope, which can be calculated from the snowmelt runoff product or snow cover spatio-temporal distribution dataset of the corresponding ROI.
[0105] S223. Calculate the effective snowmelt erosion amount of a certain river reach:
[0106]
[0107] In the formula, a2, b2, etc. are fitting parameters, and SM e is the snowmelt runoff of a certain catchment slope.
[0108] S230. Calculate the water erosion amount induced by precipitation using the water erosion module.
[0109] Water erosion is determined by a series of energy inputs and hydrodynamic processes. The water released by both enters the river channel or the surface slope through confluence, driving the transportation and erosion of sediment and sediment. Therefore, the core of hydraulic erosion is to describe the energy-driven process of water erosion on surface runoff and surface slope, and then to characterize the actual amount of erosion.
[0110] In this embodiment, the runoff and NDVI data of the catchment sub-basin corresponding to a certain river section are extracted, and the water erosion amount induced by precipitation is calculated using the water erosion module. Specifically, it includes:
[0111] S231. Calculate the change amount of the runoff of a certain river section:
[0112]
[0113] In the formula, Ii represents the change amount of the 2-day runoff on the given i-th day (m 3 / s), Q i is the runoff on the i-th day, and Q i-1 is the runoff on the (i - 1)-th day.
[0114] S232. Calculate the water erosion amount stimulated by the change in the runoff of a certain river section:
[0115]
[0116] In the formula, is the reciprocal of the vegetation coverage, is the maximum value of this value within a hydrological year, and I e is the effective water erosion amount of this river section.
[0117] S240. Calculate the erosion amount caused by the ice run and ice scraping erosion of river ice in winter and spring using the river ice module.
[0118] According to the two-dimensional river water-ice-sediment coupling mathematical model, improve the cold region and one-dimensional water-sediment model, and calculate the erosion amount stimulated by the water-ice-sediment coupling process (such as ice scraping erosion of the ice bank). In this example, the river ice distribution data, sediment transport rate, runoff, etc. of the catchment sub-basin corresponding to a certain river section are extracted to calculate the erosion amount caused by the ice scraping in winter and spring. Specifically, it includes:
[0119] S241. Assume that (1) river ice and suspended sediment flow downstream along the water flow direction during transportation, without lateral flow and scraping, and there is only a single movement vector α of sediment movement. x . (2) The sediment transport rate per unit width remains unchanged when considering the movement of sediment particles, and the relative velocity between river ice and water flow during movement is u. (3) Assume that the particle size of suspended sediment is uniform and does not change along the way. The coupled equation of river water-ice-sediment is generalized as:
[0120]
[0121] In the formula, t is time, x is the water flow direction, q s is the sediment transport rate per unit width, with the unit of kg / s, the movement velocity of sediment particles relative to the water flow is u, with the unit of m / s, and α x is the transmission coefficient (constant) of river ice moving downstream along the river channel with the water flow, which is generally calibrated by measured data or calculated by empirical formulas, or can be given by remote sensing measurement data.
[0122] S242. Expand the above formula to obtain:
[0123]
[0124] According to the above assumptions, there is no relative acceleration between river ice movement and water flow, so the second term in the above formula is eliminated. And, since α x is a constant, the fourth term can be eliminated. Then, this equation can be simplified to a first-order linear partial differential equation:
[0125]
[0126] S243. Use the method of characteristic lines to solve this equation. The component of the characteristic line along time This represents the transmission path of sediment generated by the movement of river ice along the length x over time t, that is:
[0127]
[0128] S244. Calculate the sediment yield related to the coupled process of water-ice-sediment such as ice flood and ice drift scraping erosion of river ice in a certain river section during winter and spring seasons:
[0129]
[0130] In the formula, the sediment transport rate per unit width q s is a function of the sediment movement length and water flow velocity, which can be obtained by training with machine learning methods; W is the river width, with the unit of meter, and Q i is the runoff of the i-th day.
[0131] Such as Figure 1As shown, in step S300, select geomorphic characteristic parameters according to the river flow direction to construct the sediment transport coefficient of the river reach, establish a cold-region river water and sediment model based on the sediment transport coefficient and each erosion source term, and obtain the simulated sediment concentration result based on the established cold-region river water and sediment model.
[0132] In this embodiment, a cold-region river water and sediment model is established, including boundary conditions and governing equations.
[0133] In this embodiment, parameters including river length (L), river width (W), slope (G), water-sediment connectivity (IC), river channel slope (S), turbidity, etc. for constructing the geomorphic sediment transport coefficient (K, boundary condition) of a certain river reach are selected, and the governing equation of the cold-region river water and sediment model is established. The calculation steps are as follows:
[0134] S310, use the support vector machine method to train the river sediment transport coefficient K i for construction, and use the Sigmoid function to scale K i to between 0 and 1 to establish the boundary condition of the model, that is:
[0135]
[0136] S320, calculate the governing equation of the cold-region river water and sediment model:
[0137]
[0138] where SSC is the simulated sediment concentration result; a1, b1, a2, b2, a3 are fitting parameters
[0139] As Figure 1 shown, in step S400, evaluate the simulation performance of the cold-region river water and sediment model based on the established evaluation indicators.
[0140] In this embodiment, the model evaluation indicators include Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient NSE, Kling-Gupta efficiency coefficient KGE, and coefficient of determination R 2 .
[0141] Calculate the coefficient of determination R 2 :
[0142]
[0143] In the formula, O i and S i respectively represent the observed value and the simulated value of the sediment concentration; and respectively represent the average values of the observed value and the simulated value of the sediment concentration; σ O and σ S respectively represent the standard deviations of the observed value and the simulated value of the sediment concentration; n represents the number of samples;
[0144] Calculate the Nash efficiency coefficient NSE:
[0145]
[0146] Wherein, O i and S i respectively represent the observed value and the simulated value of the sediment concentration; represents the average value of the observed values of the sediment concentration; n represents the number of samples;
[0147] Calculate the Kling-Gupta efficiency coefficient (KGE):
[0148]
[0149] Wherein, and respectively represent the average values of the observed value and the simulated value of the sediment concentration; σ O and σ S respectively represent the standard deviations of the observed value and the simulated value of the sediment concentration; n represents the number of samples.
[0150] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is also possible to: according to the simulated sediment concentration results of the cold-region river water-sediment model established, calculate sediment transport indexes such as the sediment transport ratio and the sediment inflow coefficient for further engineering applications.
[0151] Specifically, assuming that the initial sediment concentration of a certain river section is SSC0 (obtained according to the measured value or according to the model simulation), then for this river section, its sediment-carrying capacity SSC * (also known as the critical sediment concentration) can be calculated as:
[0152]
[0153] Wherein, θ is the sediment transport coefficient, which is related to the cumulative sediment deposition amount in the previous period of the river bed and can be calibrated from the previous river sediment concentration; and a11, b11 are sediment transport indexes, and generally in statistics, the sum of a11 and b11 is approximately equal to 2.
[0154] The sediment transport ratio is an index to measure the sediment transport efficiency from the erosion source to the basin outlet (such as a river cross-section) in the basin. It can reflect the sediment transport capacity of the basin and cannot be calculated in the previous cold-region river sediment models. Based on this model, the sediment transport ratio along the river can be calculated as:
[0155]
[0156] Wherein, SDR is the sediment transport ratio (sediment discharge ratio) of the river, which is the ratio of the sediment concentration at the outlet to the sediment concentration at the inlet, SSC0 is the initial sediment concentration, SSC is the sediment concentration of a certain river section, SSC *is the sediment-carrying capacity of water flow; a12 is the sediment transport index.
[0157] The sediment coefficient is mainly used to describe the relationship between sediment content and flow rate in a river. Calculate the sediment coefficient:
[0158]
[0159] In the formula, SSC0 is the initial sediment concentration, Q is the runoff of this river section, and a13 and b13 are both sediment transport indexes.
[0160] In this embodiment, four typical river source areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are selected as the main research areas, including the Indus River source area, the Yangtze River source area, the Heihe River source area, and the Yellow River source area. According to their DEM and the positions of the basin outlets, the basin range ROI is extracted, and the water and sediment data and related climate, geomorphology, cryosphere, vegetation elements, etc. data within the river source areas are collected. The similarities and differences in the parameterization schemes of the boundary conditions and input variables of the water and sediment models in the river source areas controlled by different dominant factors are compared, and the changes in the sediment transport parameters along the way are quantitatively characterized. The main operation steps are as follows:
[0161] (1) Collect and integrate the data required to run this model, including the elevation data of the river source areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the runoff, sediment concentration, sediment transport volume, air temperature, precipitation, NDVI, snowmelt runoff, slope, aspect, river length, slope ratio, river width, water and sediment connectivity index, and river ice in winter and spring seasons and other spatio-temporal distribution data. Install the software required to run and process the model, such as Qgis and Python, etc. Among them, the runoff, sediment concentration, and sediment transport volume data come from the suspended sediment concentration and flux dataset on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the China River Sediment Bulletin. The air temperature, precipitation, and NDVI come from the China Regional Surface Meteorological Element Driving Dataset (CMFD) and the ERA5 dataset. The snowmelt runoff comes from the snowmelt runoff products on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the snow cover spatio-temporal distribution dataset. The slope, aspect, river length, slope ratio, river width, and water and sediment connectivity index come from the National Tibetan Plateau Scientific Data Center. The river ice data in winter and spring seasons come from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau river ice distribution dataset processed by Landsat remote sensing images.
[0162] (2) Use the coefficient of determination (R2), Nash efficiency coefficient (NSE), and Kling-Gupta efficiency coefficient (KGE) as the objective functions to calibrate the model parameters, and evaluate the simulation performance of the model from multiple aspects such as runoff and sediment concentration.
[0163] The results after the implementation of the technical solution are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the river water and sediment model (CHSM) shows satisfactory results in the four major river source areas on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and its R 2, the values of NSE and KGE are above 0.77, 0.76, and 0.79 respectively. Generally speaking, in terms of the daily-scale changes in river sediment concentration, the calibrated model accurately reproduced the daily dynamic changes in river sediment concentration during the validation period. And when comparing the CHSM model developed in this invention with the current mainstream cold-region sediment availability model (SATM), the performance of CHSM is more robust. For the source regions of the Indus River and the Heihe River dominated by glaciers and snow cover, both CHSM and SATM can better restore the water-sediment relationship during low runoff periods. However, when there are sediment transport peak events caused by extreme rainstorms / high mountain floods, SATM shows relatively discrete performance while CHSM has a more stable distribution. Figure 3 shows the dynamic changes between the measured sediment concentration and the CHSM simulation values in the time series of the source regions of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. In the source region of the Yangtze River where there are erosive disturbances in glaciers, snow cover, and permafrost, CHSM overestimated the sediment concentration dynamics during low flow (the bottom 25% quantile) to a certain extent, but effectively captured the sediment dynamics during medium and high flow (i.e., the top 25% quantile), which led to NSE and KGE values of 0.82 and 0.83 respectively in the Yangtze River source region during the validation period. For the source region of the Yellow River dominated by precipitation and mixed with multiple processes, the NSE and KGE values during its validation period are 0.85 and 0.91 respectively, and the overall simulation performance is better than that of the Yangtze River source region. And this model can reveal the spatial variation law of sediment transport parameters of the main rivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ( Figure 5 ), as well as the spatio-temporal variation of the critical sediment concentration in different river reaches ( Figure 6 ). The evaluation index results of the river water-sediment model in this embodiment for different river source regions are shown in Table 1.
