[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of meteorology, and in particular, relates to an automatic Arctic atmospheric coupling prediction method fusing sea ice concentration and thickness. BACKGROUND
[0002] Arctic numerical weather prediction is an important field of meteorological science research, and is of great significance for polar scientific research, route planning and climate change research. Traditional Arctic weather prediction is mainly based on the background field data provided by the global forecast system (GFS), combined with limited observation data for assimilation before inputting into the numerical model. The existing technology usually inputs the sea ice concentration as the boundary condition into the model, and simulates the influence of sea ice on the atmospheric boundary layer through a simplified sea ice parameterization scheme.
[0003] However, the traditional technology has obvious defects in processing sea ice information. On the one hand, the existing method usually only considers the sea ice concentration information, and ignores the key role of sea ice thickness, which leads to the inability of the model to accurately describe the sea ice heat capacity and its modulation effect on the atmospheric boundary layer; on the other hand, even if the sea ice concentration and thickness information are introduced at the same time, the physical consistency between them cannot be guaranteed, and they are often provided by different data sources and lack effective physical constraint mechanisms.
[0004] This technical problem of insufficient physical consistency between sea ice concentration and thickness information leads to significant simulation deviation of the Arctic atmospheric boundary layer structure, especially in the rapidly changing sea ice area, the calculation error of the boundary layer turbulent flux accumulates, which further affects the simulation accuracy of the large-scale circulation, and finally causes the insufficient accuracy of the Arctic regional weather prediction, which cannot meet the high-precision demand of polar scientific research and route planning. SUMMARY

[0035] wherein the polar sea ice heat flux equation is used to calculate the sea ice surface temperature and the ice-air interface energy exchange process, and accurately describes the thermal equilibrium state of the Arctic sea ice region. The equation is based on the principle of energy balance, and comprehensively considers the solar shortwave radiation, atmospheric longwave radiation, sea ice surface emission radiation, and heat, latent heat and conduction heat exchange and other physical processes. The input includes sea ice albedo, downward shortwave radiation flux, sea ice emissivity, downward longwave radiation flux, Stefan-Boltzmann constant, near-surface wind speed, near-surface air temperature, near-surface specific humidity, saturated specific humidity, sea ice thermal conductivity, sea water freezing temperature and sea ice thickness, etc. Physical quantities. The output is the sea ice surface temperature, which is a key physical parameter obtained by solving the energy balance equation, and directly affects the ice-air interface heat exchange process.

[0038] The feature fusion model is a deep learning model based on multi-head self-attention mechanism and spatio-temporal graph convolution, which is used to optimize the fusion of sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature and sea ice modulated boundary layer structure. The specific structure of the feature fusion model is that the input layer receives the feature data of sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature and sea ice modulated boundary layer structure, captures the correlation between different variables through the multi-head self-attention layer, then extracts the physical relationship pattern in the local region through the spatio-temporal graph convolution layer, then integrates the feature representation of different spatial scales through the multi-scale feature fusion layer, and finally outputs the optimized feature representation through the full connection layer. The whole network adopts residual connection structure to ensure stable gradient propagation and complete feature information preservation.
[0039] The steps of establishing the training data set of the feature fusion model include collecting historical Arctic detection satellite data and in-situ observation data, normalizing according to spatial resolution and temporal resolution, extracting key features such as sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature, near-surface air temperature and near-surface wind speed, constructing spatio-temporal sequence sample pairs, and filtering out unreasonable data according to the principle of physical conservation. Finally, a training data set containing multi-scale spatio-temporal features is obtained, wherein the validation set and the test set account for 20% and 10% of the total data amount, respectively.
[0040] The step of training the feature fusion model specifically comprises: firstly initializing network parameters using pre-trained physical knowledge guided weight distribution; then optimizing the network parameters using a small batch stochastic gradient descent method; considering prediction accuracy and physical consistency constraints in a loss function; using a cosine annealing strategy for a learning rate; dynamically adjusting weight distribution of a feature fusion layer according to the ice-air interface balance index during the training process to enhance the expression capability of an abnormal area of the index; and avoiding overfitting through an early stopping method, so as to finally obtain a model with both physical interpretability and prediction accuracy.

[0042] The surface net radiation flux is the difference between solar radiation received by the ground and long-wave radiation emitted by the ground, and is in units of watts per square meter.
[0043] The snow cover thickness is the thickness of the snow layer covering the sea ice surface, and is in units of meters.
[0044] The model initial field is a starting state field for the start of integral calculation of the index value mode, and contains physical quantities such as wind, temperature, humidity, and pressure of each layer of the atmosphere.
[0045] The boundary condition is a side boundary and bottom boundary condition required during the integral process of the index value mode.
[0046] The weather forecast result is a prediction of future weather conditions obtained by mode integral calculation, including elements such as temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed, air pressure, and precipitation.
[0047] The Arctic sea ice assimilation model is used to perform multi-source data fusion on meteorological elements, sea ice density, and sea ice thickness information, and to realize collaborative updating of multiple variables and multiple scales based on four-dimensional variational assimilation technology.
[0048] The near-surface air temperature is the atmospheric temperature measured at a height of 2 meters from the ground, and is in units of degrees Celsius.
[0049] The relative humidity is the percentage of water vapor content in the air to the saturated water vapor content at the same temperature.
[0050] wherein the downward shortwave radiation flux refers to the solar radiation energy reaching the ground surface, and the unit is watt per square meter, and the downward shortwave radiation flux is obtained from the GFS background field data.
[0051] wherein the downward longwave radiation flux refers to the longwave radiation energy emitted downward by the atmosphere to reach the ground surface, and the unit is watt per square meter, and the downward longwave radiation flux is obtained from the GFS background field data.
[0052] The specific implementation of the above steps is described in detail below. The specific implementation of step S01 is to obtain GFS background field data from a global weather center server through an API interface, which covers the global geographical range, contains 41 non-uniformly distributed pressure layers from the ground surface to about 0.01 hPa in the vertical direction, has a horizontal resolution of 0.25°x0.25°, a time resolution of 3 hours, and a single prediction duration of 168 hours. After obtaining the data, the ice-sea heat exchange correction equation is applied to preliminarily correct the boundary layer parameters of the sea ice region. The correction equation is based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory, considers the influence of sea ice characteristics on the boundary layer stability and flux exchange, introduces the sea ice density and thickness as important parameters, and the correction coefficient is 0.85 when the sea ice density is greater than 0.7, 0.92 when the sea ice density is between 0.3 and 0.7, and 0.98 when the sea ice density is less than 0.3. The purpose of this step is to obtain high-quality background field data and preliminarily improve the description of the polar boundary layer parameters, laying a foundation for subsequent processing.
[0053] The specific implementation of step S02 is to extract the sea ice density and sea ice thickness information from the GFS background field data, and the bilinear interpolation algorithm is used to ensure spatial continuity. Then, the extracted sea ice density and thickness information are physically consistent checked based on the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation. The checking process first calculates the theoretical sea ice thickness value under the thermodynamic equilibrium condition, and when the relative deviation of the actual sea ice thickness from the theoretical value exceeds 20%, the sea ice thickness is adjusted by an iterative method to meet the thermodynamic constraint. The coordination of sea ice density and sea ice thickness is also tested, and for the newly formed thin ice region, the sea ice density and thickness should satisfy the positive correlation, that is, when the sea ice thickness is less than 0.3 m, the sea ice density should not exceed 0.85. The checked sea ice density and thickness data are rewritten into an intermediate file recognizable by the model preprocessing program in binary format, and a lossless compression algorithm is used to reduce the storage space. The purpose of this step is to ensure the physical consistency of the sea ice parameters and avoid non-physical solutions in the model integration process.
[0054] The specific implementation of step S03 is to set the mode pre-processing parameter file, including key parameters such as mode resolution, vertical layer number, projection mode and calculation domain range. For the polar region, the polar stereographic projection is used to reduce the grid deformation, the horizontal resolution is set to 15 km, the vertical direction is set to 57 layers, and the top layer height is set to 10 hPa. When the terrain processing program is executed, the Gaussian filter is used to smooth the terrain, and the filter radius is 4 grid point distances, so as to eliminate numerical noise. The format rewriting program converts various input data into a mode-specific binary format, and the interpolation program uses a conformal interpolation algorithm to ensure the conservation of physical quantities in the spatial interpolation process. The Arctic sea ice assimilation model uses four-dimensional variational assimilation technology, introduces a background error covariance matrix to describe the correlation between different variables, and the covariance structure is calculated by the NMC method. Considering the particularity of the sea ice region, the flow correlation length scale adjustment algorithm is introduced, so that the assimilation process can better maintain the frontal characteristics of the sea ice edge. This step generates a physical consistency higher mode background field through multi-element fusion, and provides high-quality initial conditions for subsequent mode integration.
[0055] The specific implementation of step S04 is to configure the sea ice thermodynamic condition parameters and the sea air momentum exchange coefficient in the mode parameters. The sea ice thermal conductivity is set to 2.0 W / (m·K), and the sea ice albedo is dynamically adjusted according to the sea ice thickness, which is between 0.5 and 0.7 when the thickness is less than 0.5 m, and between 0.7 and 0.85 when the thickness is greater than 0.5 m. The sea air momentum exchange coefficient uses the modified Charnock relationship, and the roughness length parameter is 0.0012 when the sea ice density is greater than 0.6, and 0.0018 when the sea ice density is less than 0.6. The polar sea ice heat flux equation is used to calculate the sea ice surface temperature. The equation is based on the energy balance principle, considering solar radiation, atmospheric longwave radiation, sea ice surface emission radiation, and heat and latent heat exchange, etc. The sea ice surface temperature is obtained by solving the nonlinear equation set by Newton iteration method. When the sea ice thickness is less than 0.1 m, the heat penetration coefficient 0.3 is introduced to consider the influence of sea water heat flux penetrating through sea ice; when the sea ice thickness is greater than 1.5 m, the vertical stratification is not less than 5 layers to accurately describe the internal temperature profile. The purpose of this step is to accurately describe the sea ice thickness and atmospheric heat exchange process, and to provide key input for boundary layer parameterization. The Charnock relationship is a dimensionless relationship in fluid mechanics, which is used to describe the characteristics of liquid surface waves. It was proposed by British fluid mechanicist John Charnock in 1955, mainly used in the fields of marine meteorology and ocean engineering.
[0056] The specific implementation of step S05 is to establish a sea ice density thickness boundary layer interaction equation set based on the modified boundary layer theory, considering the modulation effect of sea ice on the atmospheric boundary layer structure. First, the sea ice surface roughness is calculated, the roughness length is related to the sea ice density, ice ridge height and distribution, the ice ridge height is associated with the sea ice thickness through an empirical relationship, and the typical value is between 0.01 m and 0.05 m. Then the thermal stability parameter is calculated, and the Richardson number is used to represent, when the Richardson number is greater than 0.25, the boundary layer is in a strong stable state, and when the Richardson number is less than 0, it is in an unstable state. The turbulent flux is calculated based on the stability corrected K theory, and the boundary layer height is determined by the critical Richardson number method, which is usually 100 m to 300 m on the sea ice stable boundary layer. The temperature gradient and humidity gradient are calculated using the discrete difference method, and the vertical resolution is increased at the bottom of the boundary layer, with the first layer thickness of 5 m. The sea ice modulated boundary layer structure generated in this step contains key parameters such as boundary layer height, temperature gradient and humidity gradient, which are used as input for the subsequent feature fusion model, with the purpose of accurately describing the influence of sea ice on the boundary layer process.
[0057] The specific implementation of step S06 is to apply a feature fusion model to deeply fuse sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature and sea ice modulated boundary layer structure. The feature fusion model first normalizes the input features using the Z-score standardization method, then captures the spatio-temporal correlation between different variables through a multi-head self-attention mechanism, with 8 attention heads and a hidden layer dimension of 256. The spatio-temporal graph convolution layer uses a three-layer stacking structure, with a convolution kernel size of 3x3, and the output channel number of each layer is 128, 64 and 32, and the activation function uses LeakyReLU. The multi-scale feature fusion layer integrates feature representations of different spatial scales through a pyramid pooling network, with pooling scales of 1x1, 2x2, 4x4 and 8x8. Based on the ice-air interface balance index, the weight of each element in the feature fusion model output vector is adjusted adaptively, when the index is less than 0.3, the sea ice density feature weight is increased by 30%; when the index is greater than 0.7, the sea ice surface temperature feature weight is increased by 25%; when the index is between 0.3 and 0.7, the weights of each feature remain balanced. This step optimizes the multi-source feature fusion process through deep learning method, generates a more physically consistent model initial field and boundary condition, and provides high-quality input for model integration.
[0058] The specific implementation of step S07 is to set the physical parameterization scheme and the sea ice parameterization scheme. The physical parameterization scheme selection includes that the radiation scheme adopts the RRTMG long-short wave scheme, the boundary layer scheme adopts the YSU scheme, the cumulus convection scheme adopts the Kain-Fritsch scheme, and the microphysical scheme adopts the WSM6 scheme. The sea ice parameterization scheme selection includes that the heat conduction adopts a multi-layer nonlinear diffusion equation, the phase transition process considers the influence of salinity, and the dynamics process adopts an elastoplastic rheology method. The integral program is executed by using the model initial field and boundary conditions generated in step S06, the time step is set to 45 seconds, the integration time is 168 hours, and the output frequency is 1 hour. The ensemble prediction technique is used to evaluate the uncertainty influence of sea ice density and sea ice thickness on the meteorological prediction result, the number of ensemble members is 21, and the ensemble members are generated by perturbing the sea ice density by ±10% and the sea ice thickness by ±20%. The ensemble prediction result describes the prediction uncertainty by a probability distribution function, and when the dispersion of the ensemble exceeds a preset threshold, the system automatically marks it as a high uncertainty area, and the threshold is set to be greater than 1.5 times the standard deviation of the climate average. The purpose of this step is to obtain the meteorological prediction result for the next 7 days and quantify the prediction uncertainty. Specifically, the RRTMG long-short wave radiation scheme is a fast and accurate atmospheric radiation transfer model, which calculates the radiation flux and heating rate of the atmospheric layer by considering the absorption spectrum lines of various gas components and the effect of aerosols, balancing the calculation accuracy and efficiency; the YSU boundary layer scheme is a non-local K-theory closure mode, which explicitly processes the turbulent mixing and top entrainment process in the atmospheric boundary layer, and improves the simulation of heat and water vapor exchange between the night boundary layer and the free atmosphere; the Kain-Fritsch cumulus convection scheme is based on the Lagrangian mass flux framework, which simulates the convective updraft and downdraft, considers the cloud-environment mixing and precipitation process, and is particularly suitable for mesoscale grid precipitation simulation; the WSM6 microphysical scheme is a complex single-moment parameterization scheme, which tracks the generation, transformation and sedimentation of six types of water condensate (water vapor, cloud water, rainwater, cloud ice, snow and graupel), and can more completely describe the microphysical processes of cold, warm clouds and mixed-phase clouds.
[0059] The specific implementation of step S08 is post-processing of the weather forecast results, including system error correction, downscaling processing, and product generation. The system error correction adopts a quantile mapping method, and an error correction model is constructed based on the statistical relationship between historical forecasts and observations, with a training sample length of not less than 365 days. The forecast skill score is calculated by comparing historical observation data, and the scoring indicators include root mean square error, bias, correlation coefficient, and forecast skill score. The threshold value of the forecast skill score in the Arctic region requires that the 72-hour forecast skill of the 500 hPa potential height field be not less than 0.7, and the 48-hour forecast skill of the ground temperature be not less than 0.65. According to the application requirements of the Arctic region, standardized forecast products are generated, including routine meteorological element forecast maps, sea ice density change forecast maps, extreme weather event probability forecast maps, and sailing index forecast maps. The product resolution is dynamically adjusted according to user requirements, with a standard resolution of 0.1°x0.1°, and the product format supports multiple formats such as GRIB2, NetCDF, and GeoTIFF. The purpose of this step is to convert the original forecast results into user-friendly forecast products and evaluate the forecast quality through skill score.
[0060] The detailed structure of the feature fusion model adopts a deep neural network framework, specifically including the following main components: the input layer receives normalized sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature, and sea ice modulated boundary layer structure feature data, with a feature dimension of [batch size, time step, spatial height, spatial width, feature channel number]. The multi-head self-attention layer contains 8 attention heads, each of which independently learns the association patterns between different features. The input features are first linearly transformed to generate query, key, and value matrices, then the attention weights are calculated, and finally the outputs of each head are spliced and linearly transformed to obtain the output features. The spatio-temporal graph convolution layer is composed of 3 layers of stacked graph convolution networks, each layer uses a combination of spatial convolution and temporal convolution, with a spatial convolution kernel size of 3x3 and a temporal convolution kernel size of 3. Batch normalization and LeakyReLU activation functions are used between layers. The multi-scale feature fusion layer integrates information of different spatial scales through a pyramid pooling network, performs 1x1, 2x2, 4x4, and 8x8 pooling operations respectively, then upsamples the pooling results back to the original resolution and splices them. The fully connected layer maps the fused features to the output space, adopts a residual connection structure to ensure stable gradient propagation and complete feature information preservation, and the final output layer dimension is consistent with the initial field and boundary condition format. The entire network uses a batch size of 64, an initial learning rate of 0.001, applies a cosine annealing strategy, and trains for 300 rounds during training.
[0061] The detailed steps for establishing the training data set of the feature fusion model include: first, collecting Arctic exploration satellite data from multiple data sources, including the sea ice concentration product provided by AMSR2, with a resolution of 6.25 km; the sea ice thickness product jointly inverted by CryoSat-2 and SMOS, with a resolution of 25 km; and the sea ice surface temperature product provided by MODIS, with a resolution of 1 km. At the same time, in-situ data observed by polar research stations, buoys and ships are collected, including boundary layer temperature profile, humidity profile and wind speed profile, etc. The collected data are resampled according to the spatial resolution and unified to 15 km grid, and the time resolution is unified to daily scale, and the bilinear interpolation method is used to keep the conservation of physical quantities. From the processed data, key features such as sea ice concentration, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature, near-surface air temperature and near-surface wind speed are extracted, and sliding window samples with a time window of 30 days are constructed, with the input being the previous 27-day features and the output being the next 3-day features. According to the principle of physical conservation, unreasonable data are screened and removed, including checking whether the sea ice concentration is within the range of 0 to 1, whether the sea ice thickness is a positive value and the concentration in the thin ice area does not exceed the threshold, whether the surface temperature meets the thermodynamic constraints, etc. The samples that do not meet the conditions are removed. Finally, a training data set containing multi-scale spatio-temporal features is obtained, with a total sample size of not less than 10,000, of which the validation set and the test set account for 20% and 10% of the total data amount respectively, ensuring that the model has good generalization ability.
[0062] It should be noted that the mode pre-processing program receives the GFS background field data obtained through the API interface call in step S01. These data cover the global range, contain 41 layers of non-uniformly distributed pressure layers in the vertical direction, have a horizontal resolution of 0.25°x0.25°, and have a time resolution of 3 hours. The program first applies an ice-ocean heat exchange correction equation to preliminarily correct the boundary layer parameters in the sea ice area. Different correction coefficients (0.85, 0.92, 0.98) are applied according to the sea ice concentration interval (>0.7, 0.3-0.7, <0.3). In step S02, the program extracts the sea ice concentration and sea ice thickness information from the GFS background field, and performs physical consistency verification through the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation. When the actual sea ice thickness deviates from the theoretical value by more than 20%, it is adjusted through iteration to meet the thermodynamic constraints; for the newly formed thin ice area (thickness <0.3 m), the sea ice concentration is limited to not more than 0.85. The verified data are rewritten into a binary format intermediate file for subsequent processing.
[0063] It should be noted that the terrain processing program is responsible for processing the terrain data required by the model, which is an important part of the model pre-processing in step S03. For the Arctic region, the program uses polar stereographic projection to reduce grid deformation, and sets the horizontal resolution to 15 km. During the terrain processing, the program applies Gaussian filtering to smooth the terrain, with a filter radius of 4 grid points, to eliminate small-scale terrain features that may cause numerical noise. This processing ensures that the terrain data meets the stability requirements of the numerical model, avoiding computational instability caused by excessive terrain gradients. The smoothed terrain field output by the terrain processing program will directly affect the boundary layer parameterization and surface process simulation in the model, which is particularly important for the simulation of the Arctic sea ice region.
[0064] It should be noted that the format rewriting program converts various input data into a binary format specific to the model, ensuring consistency between the data structure and the internal representation of the model. The interpolation program uses a conformal interpolation algorithm to ensure the conservation of physical quantities during spatial interpolation, which is crucial for accurately describing the physical characteristics of the sea ice edge region. The Arctic sea ice assimilation model uses four-dimensional variational assimilation technology, introducing a background error covariance matrix to describe the correlation between different variables, and the covariance structure is calculated by the NMC method. At the same time, considering the special nature of the sea ice region, the program introduces a flow correlation length scale adjustment algorithm to better maintain the frontal characteristics of the sea ice edge during the assimilation process. The coordinated work of these programs ensures the fusion processing of multi-source data and generates a model background field with higher physical consistency.
[0065] It should be noted that the integration program uses the initial field and boundary conditions generated in step S06, based on the set physical parameterization scheme (the RRTMG long and short wave scheme is used for radiation scheme, the YSU scheme (modified) is used for boundary layer scheme, the Kain-Fritsch scheme is used for cumulus convection scheme, and the WSM6 scheme is used for microphysical scheme) and sea ice parameterization scheme (multi-layer nonlinear diffusion equation is used for heat conduction, salinity effect is considered for phase change process, and elastoplastic rheology method is used for dynamics process). The time step of the integration program is set to 45 seconds, the integration time is 168 hours (7 days), and the output frequency is 1 hour. The program also implements ensemble prediction technology, generates 21 ensemble members by perturbing the sea ice density by ±10% and the sea ice thickness by ±20%, to evaluate the uncertainty of sea ice parameters on the meteorological prediction results. The ensemble prediction results describe the prediction uncertainty through the probability distribution function, and when the ensemble dispersion exceeds the preset threshold (the standard deviation is greater than 1.5 times the climate average), the system automatically marks it as a high uncertainty region.
[0066] Specifically, the principle of the present application is that the technical principle of the present application is based on the physical mechanism of the sea ice-atmosphere coupling system and the multi-source data fusion theory. The core is to build a complete sea ice information processing chain and a sea ice-atmosphere interaction model, and to realize the whole process optimization from data acquisition, physical consistency verification to multi-element fusion.
[0067] Firstly, the present application corrects the boundary layer parameters of the sea ice region in the GFS background field data by the ice-sea heat exchange correction equation, solves the systematic deviation of the standard atmospheric model in the polar region. The key innovation is to apply the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation to physically consistent verification of the sea ice density and thickness information, to ensure that the two key parameters meet the basic laws of thermodynamics. This step makes up for the physical contradiction caused by the inconsistent source of sea ice density and thickness information in the traditional method, and lays a solid foundation for subsequent processing.
[0068] Secondly, the present application establishes the polar sea ice heat flux equation and the sea ice density and thickness boundary layer interaction equation set, which are used to calculate the sea ice surface temperature and the sea ice modulation boundary layer structure respectively. The two equation sets fully consider the comprehensive influence of multiple physical factors such as sea ice density, thickness, near-surface wind speed, surface net radiation flux and snow cover thickness, and can accurately describe the energy and momentum exchange process of the sea ice-atmosphere interface, thereby providing more physically realistic boundary conditions.
[0069] The most innovative is the feature fusion model proposed by the present application, which is based on multi-head self-attention mechanism and spatiotemporal graph convolution, and can learn the complex nonlinear relationship between sea ice density, thickness, surface temperature and boundary layer structure. The model introduces the ice-air interface balance index as an adaptive weight adjustment mechanism, solving the problem of insufficient model generalization ability under different sea ice conditions. In the training process, the loss function considers both prediction accuracy and physical consistency constraints, ensuring that the model output not only conforms to the historical observation law but also does not violate the basic physical laws, thereby theoretically guaranteeing the physical consistency of sea ice information and the reliability of the prediction results.
[0070] In summary, the present application establishes a complete physical link of sea ice density, thickness and atmosphere coupling through systematic sea ice information processing and deep learning driven feature fusion, effectively solves the problem of insufficient physical consistency of sea ice information in traditional methods, and provides theoretical and technical support for improving the accuracy of weather prediction in the Arctic region.

When executing the terrain processing program, Gaussian filter is used to smooth the terrain, and the filter radius is 4 grid point distances to eliminate numerical noise. The format rewriting program converts various input data into model-specific binary format, and the interpolation program uses conformal interpolation algorithm to ensure the conservation of physical quantities in spatial interpolation process.

The purpose of this step is to accurately describe the sea ice thickness and atmospheric heat exchange process, and to provide key inputs for boundary layer parameterization.
[0102] The specific implementation of step S05 is to establish a sea ice density thickness boundary layer interaction equation set, which is based on the modified boundary layer theory and considers the modulation effect of sea ice on the atmospheric boundary layer structure.

The physical parameterization scheme selection includes that the radiation scheme adopts the RRTMG long-short wave scheme, the boundary layer scheme adopts the modified YSU scheme, the cumulus convection scheme adopts the Kain-Fritsch scheme, and the microphysical scheme adopts the WSM6 scheme. The sea ice parameterization scheme selection includes that the heat conduction adopts a multi-layer nonlinear diffusion equation, the phase change process considers the influence of salinity, and the dynamics process adopts an elastoplastic rheology method.

According to the application requirements of the Arctic region, standardized forecast products are generated, including routine weather element forecast charts, sea ice concentration change forecast charts, extreme weather event probability forecast charts, and sailing index forecast charts. The purpose of this step is to convert the original forecast results into user-friendly forecast products and evaluate the forecast quality through skill scores.
[0135] The detailed structure of the feature fusion model adopts a deep neural network framework, and specifically includes the following main components: the input layer receives normalized sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature, and sea ice boundary layer structure feature data. The detailed steps for establishing the training data set of the feature fusion model include: first, collecting Arctic satellite data from multiple data sources, including sea ice density products provided by AMSR2, with a resolution of 6.25 km; sea ice thickness products jointly inverted by CryoSat-2 and SMOS, with a resolution of 25 km; and sea ice surface temperature products provided by MODIS, with a resolution of 1 km. At the same time, collecting in-situ data from polar research stations, buoys, and ships, including boundary layer temperature profiles, humidity profiles, and wind speed profiles. The collected data is resampled according to the spatial resolution and unified to 15 km grid points, and the time resolution is unified to daily scale, and the bilinear interpolation method is used to maintain the conservation of physical quantities.
[0136] From the processed data, key features such as sea ice density, sea ice thickness, sea ice surface temperature, near-surface air temperature, and near-surface wind speed are extracted, and a sliding window sample pair with a time window of 30 days is constructed, with the input being the previous 27-day features and the output being the next 3-day features. According to the principle of physical conservation, unreasonable data is screened out, including checking whether the sea ice density is within the range of 0 to 1, whether the sea ice thickness is positive and the density in the thin ice area does not exceed the threshold, and whether the surface temperature meets the thermodynamic constraints. Samples that do not meet the conditions are removed. Finally, a training data set containing multi-scale spatio-temporal features is obtained, with a total sample size of not less than 10,000, of which the validation set and the test set account for 20% and 10% of the total data volume, respectively.
[0137] Optionally, for the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation, the sea ice salinity is taken as 12‰ in newly formed ice and 4‰ in multi-year ice. In terms of boundary conditions, the sea ice surface temperature is affected by atmospheric forcing, and the sea ice bottom temperature is taken as the seawater freezing temperature, which is about -1.8℃ for seawater with a salinity of 35‰. The physical consistency verification process first solves the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation to obtain the theoretical sea ice thickness value, and then compares it with the actual sea ice thickness. When the relative deviation exceeds the threshold of 20%, the sea ice thickness is adjusted by an iterative method. In the iterative process, the adjustment amplitude is 50% of the deviation at each step, the maximum number of iterations is 10, and the convergence criterion is that the relative deviation is less than 5%.

The solution of the four-dimensional variational assimilation adopts the conjugate gradient method, the maximum iteration number is 100, and the convergence criterion is that the gradient norm is reduced to 0.01 of the initial value or the gradient change is less than 0.1% for 3 consecutive iterations.
[0139] Optionally, the polar sea ice heat flux equation is based on the energy balance principle, and considers solar radiation, atmospheric long-wave radiation, sea ice surface emission radiation, and sensible heat, latent heat and conduction heat exchange and other physical processes.

The temperature gradient and the humidity gradient are calculated by the discrete difference method, and the vertical resolution is encrypted at the bottom of the boundary layer during calculation, the thickness of the first layer is 5m, which gradually increases with height, and the maximum does not exceed 50m.
[0145] Optionally, the ice-air interface balance index is when the index When it is less than 0.3, it indicates that the exchange process is weak, and the weight of the enhanced sea ice density characteristic increases by 30%; when the index When it is greater than 0.7, it indicates that the exchange process is strong, and the weight of the enhanced sea ice surface temperature characteristic is increased by 25%; when the index When the index is between 0.3 and 0.7, the weights of the various features remain balanced. The threshold setting of the ice-air interface balance index is determined based on historical data analysis. Statistics show that areas with an index less than 0.3 generally correspond to thin ice or ice edge areas, where changes in sea ice density are more sensitive to atmospheric influences; areas with an index greater than 0.7 generally correspond to thick ice areas, where changes in sea ice surface temperature have a more significant impact on the atmosphere.

[0250] In order to better understand and implement the present application, the following provides an embodiment 2 of a specific application scenario of the present application: the embodiment details the physical consistency verification of sea ice density and thickness information, the multi-element fusion of the Arctic ice sea assimilation model, the configuration of sea ice thermodynamic condition parameters, and the deep fusion processing of the feature fusion model, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the Arctic regional weather forecast. The forecast method comprises a data download program, a sea ice thickness preprocessing program, a data preprocessing program, a mode calculation program, a post-processing program and an overall control program.
[0251] In this embodiment, the researchers selected the route of the 12th Chinese Arctic Scientific Expedition north of 60°N (12 UTC on July 21, 2021 to 23 UTC on September 15, 2021) for testing and verification. First, step S01 is implemented by a data download program to download global GFS background field data from the National Environmental Prediction Center server using the wget download function of the Linux server. The data has 41 layers in the vertical direction, a horizontal resolution of 0.25°x0.25°, a time interval of 3 hours, and a single prediction duration of 168 hours. The program provides data download detection and restart functions, which automatically restart the download process when an interruption is detected to ensure data integrity. Program running information is saved in the download_err file. As shown in Table 1:
[0252] Table 1 Main parameters of GFS background field data
[0253]
[0254] After the data is downloaded, the sea ice thickness preprocessing program implements step S02 to extract sea ice density and sea ice thickness information from the GFS background field and perform physical consistency verification based on the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation. First, the wgrib2 software is used to extract and convert the sea ice thickness in the GFS background field to the NETCDF format, and then the NCL script is used to read the processed sea ice thickness data and rewrite it as an intermediate file recognizable by WPS. In the physical consistency verification process, when the sea ice thickness is less than 0.3 m, the corresponding sea ice density is limited to not more than 0.85, which meets the physical characteristics of the newly formed thin ice area; when the relative deviation of the actual sea ice thickness and the thermodynamic equilibrium theoretical value exceeds 20%, the sea ice thickness is adjusted by an iterative method to meet the thermodynamic constraints. The verified sea ice density and thickness data are rewritten in binary format to an intermediate file recognizable by the model preprocessing program, and a lossless compression algorithm is used to reduce storage space in the specific implementation. In order to make the results of the sea ice thickness preprocessing program consistent with the time name of other binary files, the preprocessing program is designed with a time loop function to ensure that the generated intermediate file information can be viewed using the rd_intermediate.exe program provided by WPS.
[0255] The data preprocessing program implements step S03, and the meteorological elements, sea ice density and sea ice thickness information are fused by the Arctic Ocean assimilation model to generate a more physically consistent model background field. According to the operation requirements of the Polar WRF model, the namelist.wps file is set. For the Arctic region, the polar stereographic projection is used to reduce the grid deformation, the horizontal resolution is set to 15 km, the vertical layering is 57 layers, and the top layer height is 10 hPa. The terrain processing program geogrid.exe, the format rewriting program ungrb.exe and the interpolation program metgrid.exe are executed in turn. When executing the terrain processing program, Gaussian filtering is used to smooth the terrain, and the filtering radius is 4 grid point distances to eliminate numerical noise; the format rewriting program converts various input data into a special binary format for the model; the interpolation program uses a conformal interpolation algorithm to ensure the conservation of physical quantities in the spatial interpolation process. Before executing metgrid.exe, the sea ice thickness information needs to be added in METGRID.TBL, and the ICEDEPTH option is added in fg_name in namelist.wps. The Arctic Ocean assimilation model uses four-dimensional variational assimilation technology, introduces a background error covariance matrix to describe the correlation between different variables, and the covariance structure is calculated by the NMC method. Considering the particularity of the sea ice area, a flow correlation length scale adjustment algorithm is introduced to ensure that the assimilation process can better maintain the frontal characteristics of the sea ice edge. The results of the data preprocessing are shown in Table 2:

[0257]
[0258] The mode calculation program implements steps S04 to S07, in sequence, to perform sea ice thermodynamic condition parameter configuration, sea ice modulated boundary layer structure calculation, feature fusion model deep fusion processing, and mode integral calculation. First, the background field data is converted into the initial field required by the WRF mode, i.e., the initial field wrfinput, the side boundary wrfbdy, and the bottom boundary wrflowinp, by using the real.exe. Since the real.exe of the Polar WRF version has an interpolation bug, the real.exe program of the WRFV3.9.1 version is used for processing. In the mode parameters, the sea ice thermodynamic condition parameters and the sea air momentum exchange coefficient are configured: the sea ice thermal conductivity is set to 2.0 W / (m·K), the sea ice albedo is dynamically adjusted according to the thickness, and when the thickness is less than 0.5 m, the value is 0.5-0.7, and when the thickness is greater than 0.5 m, the value is 0.7-0.85; the sea air momentum exchange coefficient uses the modified Charnock relationship, and the roughness length parameter is set to 0.0012 when the sea ice density is greater than 0.6, and is set to 0.0018 when the sea ice density is less than 0.6. The sea ice surface temperature is calculated by using the polar sea ice heat flux equation. The equation is based on the energy balance principle, considers multiple physical processes such as solar radiation, atmospheric longwave radiation, sea ice surface emission radiation, and sensible and latent heat exchange, and solves the nonlinear equation set by using the Newton iteration method.
[0259] The sea ice density thickness boundary layer interaction equation set is established to calculate the sea ice modulated boundary layer structure. The equation set is based on the modified boundary layer theory and considers the modulation effect of sea ice on the atmospheric boundary layer. First, the sea ice surface roughness is calculated, and then the thermal stability parameter is calculated. The Richardson number is used to represent the stability state, and the K theory based on the stability correction is used to calculate the turbulent flux. The feature fusion model is used for deep fusion of the sea ice density, the sea ice thickness, the sea ice surface temperature, and the sea ice modulated boundary layer structure. The weight of each element in the output vector of the feature fusion model is adaptively adjusted based on the ice-air interface balance index. When the index is less than 0.3, the weight of the sea ice density feature is increased by 30%; when the index is greater than 0.7, the weight of the sea ice surface temperature feature is increased by 25%. The specific configuration of the physical parameterization scheme and the sea ice parameterization scheme is shown in Table 3:
[0260] Table 3 Key parameter settings of the mode calculation program
[0261]
[0262] The post-processing program implements step S08 to post-process the weather forecast results, calculate the forecast skill score by comparing historical observation data, and generate standardized forecast products according to the application requirements of the Arctic region. The ARWpost software is used to interpolate and format the wrfout file obtained by model integration, and convert it to a binary format readable by GrADs. Then, a Fortran program is used to convert these binary files to standard NetCDF format. The system error correction uses the quantile mapping method, and the error correction model is constructed based on the statistical relationship between historical forecasts and observations. The training sample length is not less than 365 days. The forecast skill score is calculated by comparing historical observation data, and the scoring indicators include root mean square error, bias, correlation coefficient, and forecast skill score. The threshold of the Arctic region forecast skill score requires that the 72-hour forecast skill of the 500 hPa potential height field be not less than 0.7, and the 48-hour forecast skill of the ground temperature be not less than 0.65. The final generated forecast products include 2-meter temperature, 2-meter dew point temperature, sea level pressure, and 10-meter wind speed, etc. The forecast maps of conventional meteorological elements, as well as the sea ice density change forecast map, extreme weather event probability forecast map, and navigation index forecast map. The product resolution is 0.1°x0.1°, and supports multiple formats such as NetCDF, GrADS, and GeoTIFF.
[0263] The entire forecast process is connected through the overall control program, and each program is executed according to the steps of S01 to S08. The running status of each program can be viewed in real time through the msg.run file. To evaluate the forecast effect of this method, the route north of 60°N of the 12th Chinese Arctic Scientific Expedition (2021 July 21 12UTC-September 15 23UTC) was selected for testing and comparison. The model forecast variables include wind, temperature, relative humidity, pressure, precipitation, etc. The single forecast duration is 7 days. The initial field, side boundary and bottom boundary data are updated every 24 hours, and finally 57 groups of forecast products are obtained. The first 24 hours of each product are extracted and spliced to form a 24-hour forecast result. In this way, 48-hour and 72-hour forecast products are formed. Researchers also drew Taylor diagrams of 24-hour forecast elements, which can display correlation coefficient, standard deviation ratio and root mean square error three statistical indicators at the same time, so as to more comprehensively evaluate the performance of model prediction. For example Figure 2As shown in FIG. 24, in the 24-hour forecast, the model has the best prediction effect on the sea level pressure, the prediction levels of 2-meter temperature and 2-meter dew point temperature are close, and the prediction effect of 10-meter wind speed is the worst. This is directly related to the optimization in steps S04 to S06 for the sea ice surface temperature and the boundary layer structure, indicating the superiority of the method in the simulation of thermodynamic processes. The researchers designed two sets of comparative experiments: the baseline experiment (Exp-A) does not consider the fusion of sea ice density and sea ice thickness, and the improved experiment (Exp-B) uses the method of the present application to fuse the sea ice density and the sea ice thickness. After fusing the sea ice density and the sea ice thickness distribution, the prediction effect of the model on the 2-meter temperature and the 2-meter dew point temperature is obviously improved, the root mean square error of the 2-meter temperature in 24h~72h is reduced by 5.2~10.3% compared with Exp-A, and the root mean square error of the 2-meter dew point temperature in 24h~72h is reduced by 8.6~14.7% compared with Exp-A; the prediction errors of the sea level pressure and the 10-meter wind speed change little, and the improvement is less than 1.2%. At the same time, it can be seen that with the increase of the prediction time, the sea level pressure error accumulates rapidly, and the 72-hour prediction error is 3.4 times of the 24-hour prediction error; the 2-meter temperature and the 2-meter dew point error gradually increase; the 10-meter wind speed error changes little with the increase of the prediction time.
[0264] Finally, the GrADs software is used to draw the results to obtain the prediction results of each element in the Arctic region as shown in FIG. 24. Figure 3
[0265] This result shows that the application effectively improves the prediction ability of the boundary layer temperature field by fusing sea ice density and thickness, especially by the multi-element fusion of the Arctic ice-ocean assimilation model and the deep fusion processing of the feature fusion model. The traditional Arctic weather prediction method mainly has three problems: first, the influence of sea ice density and sea ice thickness is ignored, which leads to inaccurate description of boundary layer parameterization and heat exchange process; second, the complex relationship between sea ice thickness and atmospheric heat exchange is not considered, and the coupling effect of sea ice surface temperature and thickness is ignored; third, there is a lack of physical consistency checking mechanism, which may lead to physical contradictions between sea ice parameters. The core technical innovations of the application include: first, in step S02, the physical consistency of sea ice density and thickness information is checked based on the sea ice thermodynamic equilibrium equation to ensure the physical rationality of the data; second, in step S03, the multi-element fusion of meteorological elements, sea ice density and sea ice thickness information is realized through the Arctic ice-ocean assimilation model; third, in step S04, the sea ice surface temperature is accurately calculated by applying the polar sea ice heat flux equation to effectively describe the sea ice thickness and atmospheric heat exchange process; fourth, in step S05, the sea ice density thickness boundary layer interaction equation set is established to calculate the sea ice modulated boundary layer structure; fifth, in step S06, the multi-source data is deeply fused by applying the feature fusion model, and the feature fusion model output weight is adaptively adjusted based on the ice-air interface balance index. These innovative technologies are verified in the practical application of the twelfth Arctic scientific expedition, which significantly improves the prediction accuracy of near-surface air temperature and dew point temperature, and the root mean square error of 2-meter air temperature and 2-meter dew point temperature 72-hour prediction is reduced by 10.3% and 14.7%, respectively.
[0266] The application successfully solves the technical problems of insufficient multi-source data fusion and inaccurate sea ice-atmosphere interaction process description in traditional methods, and provides a more reliable weather prediction basis for Arctic scientific expedition and polar navigation.
