Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the fields of atmospheric detection and atmospheric remote sensing, and in particular to a precipitation warning and classification method based on cloud radar. Background Art

[0002] Precipitation refers to a weather process in which water vapor in the air condenses into clouds, cloud droplets collide and grow under specific conditions, and finally fall to the ground in the form of rain, snow, hail or other hydrometeors. Precipitation is affected by multiple factors such as geographical environment, atmospheric circulation, and weather system. It is the most basic link in the water cycle process and the basic parameter in the water balance equation. The uneven spatial distribution of precipitation and the instability of temporal changes are the direct causes of floods, waterlogging, and droughts. Conventional equipment for monitoring precipitation mainly includes tipping bucket rain gauges, weighing precipitation sensors, raindrop spectrometers, etc. Among them, tipping bucket rain gauges and weighing precipitation sensors only output precipitation data when the precipitation is greater than their resolution. They cannot effectively monitor trace precipitation, resulting in deviations in precipitation time. Due to the small sampling area, the raindrop spectrometer is not ideal for identifying precipitation types such as trace precipitation and hail. In addition, accurately predicting precipitation time and determining precipitation periods have always been the focus and difficulty of meteorological observation and services.

[0003] Millimeter-wave cloud radars operating in the Ka (35GHz) band can penetrate thicker clouds and obtain minute-level hydrometeor profiles by utilizing the scattering characteristics of electromagnetic waves when in vertical overhead observation mode, thus achieving refined observation of the entire evolution process of water vapor forming clouds and causing rain. Before precipitation, the precipitation time can be predicted by fitting and extrapolating the evolution characteristics of the cloud system, and during the precipitation period, the fuzzy logic combination of the basic data characteristics can be used to classify the precipitation type.

[0053] The following is a detailed description of the cloud radar-based precipitation warning and classification method and device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 A flowchart of a precipitation warning and classification method based on cloud radar provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method 100 includes the following steps:

[0055] S110, detecting hydrometeor profile data in real time by using a cloud radar, performing data processing and quality control on the real-time detected hydrometeor profile data, and acquiring real-time basic data.

[0056] In some embodiments, the base data includes:

[0057] Reflectivity factor, radial velocity, velocity spectrum width.

[0058] In some embodiments, data processing includes analog-to-digital conversion, pulse compression, coherent integration, fast Fourier transform, incoherent integration, and moment estimation;

[0059] Quality control, including the identification and elimination of pulse compression range sidelobe echoes and clear sky echoes, filtering and denoising, time and space continuity checks, and extreme value checks.

[0060] In some embodiments, the hydrometeor profile data is detected in real time by a vertical headspace observation mode of a cloud radar;

[0061] Furthermore, the temporal resolution of the hydrometeor profile data detected by the cloud radar is less than or equal to 1 minute, and the spatial resolution is less than or equal to 30 meters.

[0062] S120, determining the echo grounding state at the current moment according to the real-time basic data.

[0063] In some embodiments, judging the echo grounding state at the current moment according to the real-time base data includes:

[0064] If the mean value of the reflectivity factor within the preset altitude range at the current moment is greater than or equal to 0dBZ, and the ratio of the number of echoes with radial velocity greater than the preset velocity threshold at the current moment to the total number of echoes within the preset altitude range at the current moment is greater than or equal to 70%, then the echo is grounded at the current moment; otherwise, the echo is not grounded at the current moment; wherein, the echo grounding indicates precipitation has occurred.

[0065] S130, if the echo is grounded at the current moment, input the characteristic parameters at the current moment into a pre-established precipitation classification model to obtain the precipitation type at the current moment; wherein the characteristic parameters include base data and ground air temperature.

[0066] In some embodiments, the surface air temperature is obtained by an automatic weather station.

[0067] In some embodiments, the precipitation classification model is established by:

[0068] The characteristic parameters at each moment of historical precipitation are used as training sample sets, and the precipitation types at each moment of historical precipitation are used as annotations;

[0069] The precipitation classification model is trained according to the training sample set and annotations; wherein,

[0070] The precipitation classification model adopts fuzzy logic algorithm;

[0071] Further, the fuzzy logic algorithm is implemented by the following steps:

[0072] Establishing a membership function between each parameter in the characteristic parameters at each moment during the historical precipitation period and the precipitation type corresponding to each moment during the historical precipitation period, performing fuzzy processing on the parameters corresponding to each membership function, and obtaining a fuzzy set corresponding to each parameter in the characteristic parameters at each moment during the historical precipitation period;

[0073] Perform fuzzy reasoning on the fuzzy set according to preset fuzzy rules to obtain a fuzzy conclusion;

[0074] The fuzzy conclusion is defuzzified using a conversion function to obtain the precipitation type corresponding to each moment during the historical precipitation period.

[0075] In some embodiments, fuzzy logic functions are mainly used for fuzzy reasoning; wherein, the fuzzy logic functions include S-shaped functions, bell-shaped functions, triangle functions, and trapezoidal functions; this embodiment uses an asymmetric trapezoidal function as the fuzzy logic function.

[0076] In some embodiments, the characteristic parameters at different times are input into the precipitation classification model, and the classification results obtained are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the weighted sum of the probability of snowfall caused by the reflectivity factor Z (in dBZ), radial velocity V (in m / s), velocity spectrum width W (in m / s), and ground air temperature T (in °C) at a certain moment meets the first probability threshold, indicating that snowfall occurs. For example, the probability of snowfall when Z is -5 dBZ is 1, the probability of snowfall when V is -1 m / s is 1, the probability of snowfall when W is 4 m / s is 1, and the probability of snowfall when T is -5 °C is 1. The value after the weighted sum of these four probabilities meets the first probability threshold, indicating that snowfall occurs when Z = -5 dBZ, V = -1 m / s, W = 4 m / s, and T = -5 °C;

[0077] The weighted sum of the probability of rainfall occurring due to the reflectivity factor Z, radial velocity V, velocity spectrum width W, and ground air temperature T at a certain moment satisfies the second probability threshold, indicating rainfall has occurred. For example, the probability of rainfall occurring when Z is 16 dBZ is 1, the probability of rainfall occurring when V is -3 m / s is 1, the probability of rainfall occurring when W is 1 m / s is 1, and the probability of rainfall occurring when T is 8°C is 1. The weighted sum of these four probabilities satisfies the second probability threshold, indicating that rainfall has occurred when Z = 16 dBZ, V = -3 m / s, W = 1 m / s, and T = 8°C.

[0078] The weighted sum of the probability of heavy rainfall caused by the reflectivity factor Z, radial velocity V, velocity spectrum width W, and ground air temperature T at a certain moment meets the third probability threshold, indicating that heavy rainfall has occurred. For example, the probability of heavy rainfall when Z is 45dBZ is 1, the probability of heavy rainfall when V is -10m / s is 1, the probability of heavy rainfall when W is 3m / s is 1, and the probability of heavy rainfall when T is 10℃ is 1. The value of the weighted sum of these four probabilities meets the third probability threshold, indicating that heavy rainfall occurs when Z = 45dBZ, V = -10m / s, W = 3m / s, and T = 10℃.

[0079] The weighted sum of the probabilities of hail occurring due to the reflectivity factor Z, radial velocity V, velocity spectrum width W, and ground air temperature T at a certain moment meets the fourth probability threshold, indicating that hail has occurred. For example, the probability of hail occurring is 1 when Z is 42dBZ, the probability of hail occurring is 1 when V is 13m / s, the probability of hail occurring is 1 when W is 4m / s, and the probability of hail occurring is 1 when T is 10℃. The weighted sum of these four probabilities meets the fourth probability threshold, indicating that hail occurs when Z=42dBZ, V=13m / s, W=4m / s, and T=10℃.

[0080] In some embodiments, the precipitation type includes rain, heavy rain, snow, and hail.

[0081] In some embodiments, the precipitation type at each moment during the historical precipitation period is obtained from a precipitation phenomenon meter and an automatic weather station's hourly precipitation; specifically, the precipitation is divided into rain, snow, and hail according to the precipitation phenomenon meter, and the precipitation is further divided into rain and heavy rain according to the automatic weather station's hourly precipitation.

[0082] In some embodiments, precipitation classification can be accurately and conveniently achieved using a precipitation classification model.

[0083] S140, if the echo is not grounded at the current moment and the hydrometeor profile data shows the presence of a single echo, the base data within the time span of the single echo is used to calculate the centroid heights of the echo regions corresponding to different moments within the time span of the single echo.

[0084] In some embodiments, the monomer echo time span is a time period from the appearance of the monomer echo to the end of the monomer echo or the monomer echo grounding.

[0085] In some embodiments, the centroid heights of the echo regions corresponding to different moments in the time span of the single echo are calculated using the basic data in the time span of the single echo by the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] Among them, γ mis the centroid height of the echo area corresponding to time m; wherein, the echo area corresponding to time m is the area covered by the echo signal in the time period from time mn to time m (n is an integer, in minutes); the echo area includes at least one monomer echo;

[0089] Furthermore, the centroid of the echo region corresponding to time m is taken as the centroid of the echo at time m.

[0090] S150, fitting the relationship between the centroid height and the passage of time using a fitting function according to the centroid height of the echo area corresponding to different moments within the time span of the single echo.

[0091] In some embodiments, a linear or nonlinear fitting function may be used to fit the relationship between the change in the centroid height and the amount of time, such as Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the time lapse N corresponding to time i i , the ordinate represents the centroid height γ of the echo area corresponding to time i i , the center of mass height corresponding to the center of mass of the echo at the first moment is γ1, and the time lapse is N1. The center of mass height corresponding to the center of mass of the echo at the second moment is γ2, and the time lapse is N2. The center of mass height corresponding to the center of mass of the echo at the nth moment is γ n , the time lapse is N n ; Figure 2 Among the three curves displayed, the top curve is the upper boundary of the echo area corresponding to time i, the bottom curve is the lower boundary of the echo area corresponding to time i, and the middle curve is the fitting function curve made using the fitting function; among them, the independent variable of the fitting function is the time lapse, and the dependent variable is the centroid height of the echo area corresponding to different times.

[0092] S160, determining the time lapse corresponding to the intersection of the centroid height and the ground according to the fitting function; predicting the precipitation time according to the time lapse and issuing a precipitation warning.

[0093] In some embodiments, the time lapse obtained when the dependent variable of the fitting function is 0 is the time lapse corresponding to the intersection of the centroid height with the ground.

[0094] In some embodiments, predicting the precipitation time according to the time lapse amount and issuing a precipitation warning includes:

[0095] The sum of the time lapse corresponding to the intersection of the centroid height and the ground and the time when the single echo appears is taken as the predicted precipitation time, and precipitation warning is issued according to the predicted precipitation time; Figure 2 As shown, γ i The predicted precipitation time can be obtained by adding the time lapse corresponding to 0 to the time when the single echo appears;

[0096] Furthermore, the time lapse is the difference between the current time and the time when the single echo appears; the maximum value of the time lapse is the difference between the time corresponding to the intersection of the fitted centroid height with the ground and the time when the single echo appears.

[0097] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, hydrometeor profile data is detected in real time by cloud radar, and data processing and quality control are performed on the real-time detected hydrometeor profile data to obtain real-time base data; the echo grounding state at the current moment is judged according to the real-time base data; if the echo is grounded at the current moment, the characteristic parameters at the current moment are input into a pre-established precipitation classification model to obtain the precipitation type at the current moment; wherein the characteristic parameters include base data and ground air temperature; if the echo is not grounded at the current moment and the hydrometeor profile data show the presence of a single echo, the centroid height of the echo area corresponding to different moments within the time span of the single echo is calculated using the base data within the time span of the single echo; according to the centroid height of the echo area corresponding to different moments within the time span of the single echo, a fitting function is used to fit the relationship between the centroid height and the time lapse amount; according to the fitting function, the time lapse amount corresponding to the intersection of the centroid height and the ground is determined; according to the time lapse amount, the precipitation time is predicted and a precipitation warning is issued. In this way, precipitation can be accurately classified, especially trace precipitation can be identified very accurately, which helps technicians to understand the precipitation type in the precipitation area in real time and accurately predict the precipitation time.
