Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of sea state inversion. BACKGROUND

[0002] Significance of the Invention Sea surface significant wave height is one of the main parameters describing the characteristics of sea waves, and its real-time and accurate measurement is of great significance for maritime transportation, safety production, fishery, disaster prevention and reduction, and marine weather forecast. After years of development, the shore-based significant wave height inversion technology has been relatively mature, but its detection range is limited due to the influence of the carrying platform. Therefore, it is considered to place the high-frequency ground wave radar on a ship-borne platform to utilize its mobility and flexibility to monitor the specified sea area at a closer distance.

[0003] The parameter information of sea waves is contained in the second-order sea surface echo spectrum of HFSWR (high-frequency surface wave radar). The forward movement of the ship-borne platform will cause the broadening of the second-order Doppler spectrum peak, resulting in the mutual aliasing between the second-order Doppler spectrum peaks. The broadened first-order Bragg peak will also cover the second-order Doppler spectrum region. The additional broadening peak caused by the six-degree oscillation movement of the ship-borne platform will also seriously pollute the second-order Doppler spectrum. In addition, the signal-to-noise ratio of the second-order Doppler spectrum is low and is easily polluted by noise. Therefore, at the present stage, complete second-order Doppler spectrum information cannot be obtained, and it will be particularly difficult to use the second-order Doppler spectrum of the ship-borne HFSWR to perform sea wave parameter inversion.

Due to the flexibility of the ship-borne platform, the ship-borne platform used in the present application effectively solves the problem of limited detection range of the shore-based high-frequency ground wave radar, and expands the measurement distance of the effective wave height on the sea surface. At the same time, compared with the second-order Doppler spectrum which has low signal-to-noise ratio and is easily disturbed, the method of the present application simply and effectively uses the first-order Bragg broadening spectrum, and due to the broadening characteristics of the first-order Bragg peak of the ship-borne high-frequency ground wave radar, a single antenna can be used without the need for digital beam forming, therefore, the present application greatly saves the cost of the radar system, and is more suitable for the ship-borne platform with limited deck space.

[0083] Step two three: let the intermediate parameter The wind direction α is obtained:

[0084]

[0085] The ratio of the positive and negative first-order Bragg peak intensities can be represented as:

[0086]

[0087] Step two four: according to the ratio R expression constructed in step two three, a wind direction- wave spreading factor relationship curve of the wind direction α and the wave spreading factor of each wave unit is obtained from the ratio R of the positive and negative first-order Bragg peaks of each wave unit.

[0088] Take three adjacent ABC sea wave units as an example, see Figure 3 The wind direction-sea wave spreading factor relationship curves of the three sea wave units obtained according to the method of the step are sea unit A, sea unit B and sea unit C respectively, and the purpose of constructing the curves is to obtain the unique intersection point of sea unit B to determine the current wind direction and sea wave spreading factor.

[0090] For a fully developed sea area, the wind direction can be considered as slowly changing or constant, so the unique sea wave spreading factor and wind direction of sea wave unit B can be determined according to the intersection point of the wind direction and sea wave spreading factor curves of adjacent sea surface scattering units A and B.

[0091] The specific process is as follows:

[0092] Sea wave units A, B and C are three continuous adjacent units, and the unique wind direction and sea wave spreading factor of sea wave unit B are obtained as follows:

[0093] Case one, see Figure 3 (a), the wind direction-sea wave spreading factor relationship curves of sea wave unit A and sea wave unit B have one curve intersection point, so the wind direction and sea wave spreading factor s corresponding to sea wave unit B are determined according to the intersection point;

[0094] Case two, see Figure 3 (b), the wind direction-sea wave spreading factor relationship curves of sea wave unit A and sea wave unit B have two curve intersection points, then the wind direction-sea wave spreading factor relationship curve of sea wave unit C is added as an auxiliary, and the common intersection point of the wind direction-sea wave spreading factor relationship curve of sea wave unit B and the wind direction-sea wave spreading factor relationship curves of sea wave units A and C is taken as the unique intersection point to be solved, and the wind direction and sea wave spreading factor s corresponding to sea wave unit B are determined according to the intersection point.

[0105]

[0106] In the formula, U * The minimum wind speed to which this invention applies is related to the radar operating frequency.

[0107] Step 43: The relationship between the wave spread factor in Step 42 and the sea surface wind speed is:

[0108]

[0109] Step 5: Obtain the effective wave height H using the following formula. s :

[0110]

[0111] In the formula, a and b are constant coefficients, a = 0.0081, b = 0.74, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

[0112] The sea surface is set as a fully developed sea state, and the significant wave height is inverted based on the relationship between wind speed and significant wave height.

[0113] Specific Implementation Method Two: The following is combined with... Figures 4 to 8 This embodiment further explains embodiment one, and after step four, it also includes the following steps: After obtaining the sea surface wind speed, the wind speed is optimized: using the forecast range (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown) Optimized wind speeds range from 8 m / s to 13.8 m / s. If the wind speed of a wave unit falls within the forecast range, the average wind direction and wind speed of that wave unit are calculated and denoted as α. av U av For wave units in the marginal region, if the wind speed is outside the forecast range, then the wind direction and speed are represented by α. av U av For wave cells in the inner region, if the wind speed is outside the forecast range, the wind direction and speed of that wave cell are replaced by the average value of wave cells in the adjacent region. If the wind speed of wave cells in the adjacent region is also outside the forecast range, the wind direction and speed of that wave cell are determined by α. av Uav Instead; for one of the sea clutter echo data, traverse all the sea wave cells, get the optimized wind field data, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0114] Set the sea surface to be fully developed sea state, according to the relationship between the wind speed and the significant wave height, the significant wave height is inverted, and the significant wave height corresponding to the wind field is as shown in Figure 4 . Figure 5

[0115] By comparing Figure 5 and Figure 7 , it can be seen that the significant wave height obtained by the ship-borne HFSWR and the forecast chart has good consistency. From Figure 7 , it can be considered that the actual significant wave height of the detection sea area during the observation period is in the range of 2-3m. From Figure 5 , it can be intuitively seen that the significant wave height of most sea wave cells falls within the range of the actual significant wave height.
