Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of disaster monitoring and early warning technology, and in particular to a snow disaster monitoring and early warning system. Background Technology

[0002] Snow disasters are among the most severe meteorological disasters in my country's pastoral areas during winter and spring. They often cause livestock to have difficulty foraging or become unable to forage, resulting in varying degrees of livestock injury and death. They can also be accompanied by frostbite among herders, traffic congestion, and power and communication line outages, causing enormous losses to the national economy and people's lives and property. Therefore, establishing a long-term regional snow disaster monitoring and early warning database and management information system, dynamically monitoring the environment of target areas, and constructing a snow disaster monitoring and early warning system are prerequisites for the operationalization of a snow disaster early warning system.

[0003] Snow cover is mostly located in high-altitude and frigid regions, and estimating its parameters is of significant research importance for hydrological resource statistics and crop yield forecasting. However, due to the harsh environment in which snow cover exists, it is difficult to obtain large-scale and highly accurate data using traditional manual measurement methods. Current snow cover monitoring methods mainly include conventional ground observation and satellite remote sensing monitoring. Conventional ground observation is a point-based observation, and the uneven distribution of stations makes it difficult to accurately reflect the spatial distribution of large-scale snow disasters. Compared with ground monitoring, remote sensing monitoring is more adaptable, acquires data faster, and provides a larger amount of information. It can conduct timely dynamic analysis and long-term dynamic monitoring of snow disasters. Remote sensing has a wider and continuous detection range, which can compensate for the data gaps caused by discrete observations from meteorological stations.

[0004] However, current snow disaster monitoring based on remote sensing technology is often affected by clouds and fog, leading to insufficient snow cover extraction and reducing the accuracy of snow disaster prediction. Therefore, this invention proposes a snow disaster monitoring and early warning system. Summary of the Invention
