AI Technical Summary
Existing Gaussian diffusion models neglect vertical airflow dynamics in weather modification operations, resulting in large prediction biases and complex calculations, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid assessment and real-time judgment.
A wind field model incorporating the logarithmic distribution of horizontal wind speed and the parabolic distribution of vertical airflow was constructed. The lifting trajectory of the plume centerline was derived. Combined with turbulent diffusion parameters, an analytical model of catalyst concentration distribution in three-dimensional space was established. By solving for the optimal ice nucleus number concentration and the vertical airflow attenuation threshold, the maximum height of catalyst diffusion was calculated.
It improves the physical realism and accuracy of catalyst diffusion range prediction, simplifies the calculation process, meets the needs of rapid assessment and real-time judgment in weather modification operations, and provides a scientific and reliable basis for operational parameters.
