Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of satellite remote sensing precipitation estimation, and in particular relates to a method, device and system for improving satellite precipitation products based on dual-time-scale minimum error. Background Art

[0002] Precipitation is a key component driving the global water cycle and maintaining natural ecosystems. Accurate precipitation data is crucial for deepening our understanding of hydrological processes and climate change. It is also an important factor affecting basin flood forecasting, regional drought monitoring, and crop yield estimation. Traditional rain gauges are the most direct and accurate way to measure precipitation at a point scale. However, the sparse and uneven distribution of rain gauge networks limits their ability to capture the spatiotemporal dynamics of precipitation, posing challenges to surface precipitation estimation in high-altitude mountainous areas, deserts, and other regions, and hindering the development of regional hydrological research.

[0003] Satellite remote sensing offers a transformative alternative for observing precipitation over large areas and at high resolution. The launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission in 2014 marked significant progress in global precipitation observations, exemplified by the GPM Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrieval (IMERG) precipitation product series. While these satellite precipitation products have been widely used worldwide, numerous assessments have demonstrated that IMERG satellite-only precipitation products often exhibit significant errors, particularly at daily and sub-daily timescales. These errors are primarily attributed to a lack of calibration with ground-based observations.

[0004] To improve the accuracy of purely satellite-based precipitation estimates, some researchers have used interpolated precipitation from global rain gauges as a benchmark to eliminate systematic biases in satellite precipitation errors, such as the IMERG Final and GSMaP-G satellite precipitation products. However, bias corrections for these satellite precipitation products are performed only on daily or monthly timescales. In addition to bias correction, some researchers have employed data fusion techniques to reduce errors in precipitation estimates, enhancing the accuracy of satellite precipitation by leveraging the complementary information from multiple-source precipitation products. Despite this, challenges remain in fully leveraging the advantages of purely satellite remote sensing and interpolated data. Summary of the Invention

For details of the specific process, see Figure 1 .

[0124] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0125] Step 1: collect and preprocess two satellite precipitation products and one interpolated precipitation product;

[0126] This example collects two satellite precipitation products, GPM IMERG Early (IMERG-E) and GPM IMERG Late (IMERG-L), along with an interpolated precipitation product, from 2001 to 2019 over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Bilinear interpolation is used to ensure that these three precipitation products have daily and monthly data at the same spatial resolution, facilitating subsequent calculations. This example uses a uniform spatial resolution of 0.1°.

[0127] Step 2: Use the dual instrumental variable algorithm to estimate the error variance of the first satellite precipitation product, the second satellite precipitation product, and the interpolated precipitation product relative to the unknown true precipitation at the daily and monthly scales. The details of this step are as follows:

[0154] (13)

[0155] According to equation (13), the fusion weight of the x and y precipitation products is:

[0156] (14)

[0157] Step 4: Based on the initial fused precipitation products at the daily and monthly scales, an inverse error weighted algorithm is used to obtain the first fused precipitation products at the daily and monthly scales;

[0158] After determining the fusion weights, the error of the initial fused precipitation product is calculated using equation (12): . Using the inverse error weighting method, based on the error of the first initial fused precipitation product and the error of the second initial fused precipitation product, the first initial fused precipitation product and the second initial fused precipitation product are integrated, and the first fused precipitation product at the daily scale and the monthly scale is obtained, wherein the first initial fused precipitation product is obtained based on the first satellite precipitation product and the interpolated precipitation product, and the second initial fused precipitation product is obtained based on the second satellite precipitation product and the interpolated precipitation product. The calculation formula of the first fused precipitation product at the daily scale or the monthly scale is:

[0163] Step 5: Linearly scale the first fused precipitation product at the monthly scale to the first fused precipitation product at the daily scale to generate the second fused precipitation product (i.e., use the linear scaling method to assign the first fused precipitation product at the monthly scale to the first fused precipitation product at the daily scale, and improve the accuracy of satellite remote sensing precipitation estimation through data fusion). The temporal and spatial resolution is 0.1° / 1 day.

[0164] This example also collects the GPM IMERG Final (IMERG-F) satellite precipitation product for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2001 to 2019. This product is generated by NASA using the GPCC interpolated precipitation product and performing bias correction on a monthly scale. In this example, the IMERG-F satellite precipitation product is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the satellite precipitation product improvement method in this example. Using independent observation data from 119 rainfall stations and correlation coefficients, root mean square errors, and key success indices, the accuracy of IMERG-E, IMERG-L, CPC, fused precipitation, and IMERG-F was evaluated on daily and monthly scales. Figures 2 to 5The results show that the fused precipitation product not only outperforms the IMERG-E, IMERG-L, and CPC precipitation products, but also outperforms the official corrected IMERG-F satellite precipitation product. These results confirm the effectiveness of the satellite precipitation product improvement method in this example.
