Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of artificial hail prevention operations, and more particularly to a method, system, device and medium for identifying an artificial hail prevention operation area. Background Art

[0002] In the field of artificial hail prevention operations, traditional methods mainly rely on indicators such as radar reflectivity and vertically integrated liquid water content provided by the new generation weather radar to identify hail. Although these indicators can provide information about the liquid water content and reflection intensity in the cloud, they are insufficient in describing the microphysical characteristics related to hail in the cloud, especially the limited ability to identify in the initial stage of hail formation.

[0003] For example, the VIL threshold and its jump phenomenon can be used to indicate the area where hail may form, but these methods often can only provide effective signals when hail has already formed or is about to form, missing the best opportunity for artificial intervention.

[0004] In recent years, with the development of dual-polarization radar technology, researchers have begun to explore using dual-polarization radar parameters to improve hail identification methods. These studies mainly focus on the identification after hail formation, usually using methods based on fuzzy logic or other algorithms to analyze various parameters in the radar echo, such as horizontal reflectivity factor, differential reflectivity, correlation coefficient, etc., to identify the presence of hail. Although these methods have made significant progress in hail identification, they mainly focus on the formed hail, rather than the embryo stage before hail formation or the wet growth stage of hail.

[0005] Traditional hail identification indicators can only identify the areas where hail has formed, and cannot effectively identify the hail embryo formation area, that is, the area in the cloud where hail has not yet formed but has the potential to form hail. At the same time, during the process of hail growing from a small ice nucleus to a large hail, there is a critical wet growth stage, which is crucial for the final size of hail, but the existing technology fails to clearly identify this area, resulting in the inability to carry out effective artificial intervention at this stage.

[0006] In addition, traditional hail prevention operation methods usually rely on a single data source, such as radar data or weather forecast data, lacking the ability to comprehensively analyze multi-source data such as weather forecast data, artificial hail prevention protection area information, and artificial hail prevention operation point information. This leads to inaccurate identification of the operation area and also fails to fully consider the actual feasibility and pertinence of the operation.

[0007] Moreover, when determining the altitude corresponding to the key temperature layers (such as the 0°C, -10°C, and -20°C layers), relatively rough methods are usually adopted, lacking the ability to accurately locate the temperature layers. This makes the understanding of hail formation conditions inaccurate and reduces the effectiveness of the operation.

[0008] Therefore, how to design a method for identifying artificial hail prevention operation areas to make up for the deficiencies in aspects such as comprehensive information analysis, temperature layer positioning, radar parameter analysis ability, and three-dimensional space analysis in the existing technology, and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of operations is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0059] Embodiment 1:

[0060] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a method for identifying an artificial hail prevention operation area, including the following steps:

[0061] S1. Determine an initial artificial hail prevention operation area based on relevant information; the relevant information includes: weather forecast data, artificial hail prevention protection area information, and artificial hail prevention operation point information;

[0062] S2. Perform grid division on the initial artificial hail prevention operation area at a preset resolution, and calculate the altitude corresponding to 0°C, -10°C, and -20°C above each grid point respectively using a difference algorithm according to meteorological sounding second-level data, and construct a 0°C layer, a -10°C layer, and a -20°C layer;

[0063] S3. Combine dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles to identify the artificial hail prevention operation area; the artificial hail prevention operation area includes: a strong updraft area, a hail embryo formation area, and a hail wet growth area; among them, the hail embryo formation area includes: a frozen-drop type hail embryo area and a graupel type hail embryo area.

[0064] The above method for identifying an artificial hail prevention operation area realizes the accurate identification of the key areas for hail formation by comprehensively using weather forecast data, artificial hail prevention protection area information, and operation point information, combined with a risk assessment model and dual-polarization radar parameters. It not only improves the accuracy and practicability of operation area selection, but also can effectively intervene before hail formation or at the hail embryo stage, thus significantly enhancing the effect and pertinence of artificial hail prevention operations.

[0065] The following further elaborates on the above steps and related features in detail:

[0066] In step S1 of this embodiment, determining the initial artificial hail prevention operation area based on relevant information includes:

[0067] Define the hail occurrence probability at time t and position (x, y) based on weather forecast data as P(t, x, y), and this parameter is used to predict the possibility of hail occurrence at a specific time and location.

[0068] Based on the information of artificial hail protection areas, the historical number or frequency of hail disasters recorded at location (x, y) is denoted as H(x, y). This parameter reflects the situation of a certain area suffering from hail disasters in the past period and can be used to evaluate the hail risk level of this area.

[0069] Based on the information of artificial hail protection areas, the demand level of economic crops for artificial hail protection at location (x, y) is defined as S(x, y); this parameter takes into account the needs of local agricultural production, especially the demand degree for crops vulnerable to hail.

[0070] Based on the information of artificial hail operation points, the traffic accessibility T(x, y) at location (x, y) is defined, where T(x, y) = e -αd , d represents the distance to the nearest traffic infrastructure, and α represents the rate of decrease in traffic accessibility as the distance increases; this parameter mainly considers the convenience and efficiency of implementing artificial hail operations, that is, whether it can reach and start work quickly.

[0071] Taking into account the influence of the above four factors comprehensively to determine the areas that most need artificial hail operations. The initial artificial hail operation area is determined through the risk assessment model R(t, x, y); where R(t, x, y) = β 1 P(t, x, y) + β 2 H(x, y) + β 3 S(x, y) + β 4 T(x, y), β 1 、β 2 、β 3 and β 4 are weight coefficients.

[0072] In this embodiment, for the weight coefficients β 1 、β 2 、β 3 and β 4 are optimized, including:

[0073] Collect a historical dataset including weather forecast data, historical hail disaster records, and traffic accessibility; preprocess the data to extract features related to the risk assessment model; use machine learning methods such as support vector machine (SVM) or random forest (RandomForest) to build a model, and train the model through cross-validation; find the optimal weight combination through methods such as grid search or random search to optimize the risk assessment model; use an independent test set to verify the performance of the optimized model and apply the optimal weights to the risk assessment model R(t, x, y).

[0074] It utilizes information such as real-time meteorological data, historical disaster records, agricultural production requirements, and traffic accessibility, and through corresponding mathematical models and statistical analyses, generates a comprehensive and accurate initial artificial hail suppression operation area.

[0075] In step S2 of this embodiment, grid division is performed on the initial artificial hail suppression operation area at a preset resolution, and according to the meteorological sounding second-level data, the altitude corresponding to 0°C, -10°C, and -20°C is calculated respectively for each grid point using the interpolation algorithm, and the 0°C layer, -10°C layer, and -20°C layer are constructed.

[0076] In this step, first, a suitable grid point resolution is selected according to the requirements of hail suppression operations and the accuracy of available data. For example, each grid point covers an area of 1 km × 1 km. At the same time, considering the requirements of computing resources, the requirements of computing efficiency and accuracy are balanced. Then, grid division is performed on the initial artificial hail suppression operation area to ensure that the geographical space range covered by each grid point is consistent, and the grid point size is dynamically adjusted according to the terrain complexity and the change of meteorological conditions, and smaller grid points are used in areas with large terrain undulations or drastic changes in meteorological conditions. Finally, the meteorological sounding second-level data is matched with the grid coordinates, and for the meteorological sounding data that spans multiple grid points, it is integrated by the average value or other statistical methods to ensure that the data of each grid point represents the situation within the area.

[0077] For each grid point, according to the two height points Z 1 and Z 2 in the meteorological sounding second-level data that are closest to the target temperature T 1 and their corresponding temperatures T 2 , the meteorological sounding second-level data contains temperature measurement values at different heights.

[0078] The interpolation algorithm is used to calculate the height Z corresponding to the target temperature T;

[0079]

[0080] The altitude Z 0 、Z -10 and Z -20 corresponding to 0°C, -10°C, and -20°C above each grid point is calculated through the interpolation algorithm.

[0081] In step S3 of this embodiment, the dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles are combined to identify the artificial hail suppression operation area;

[0082] In this step, the radar dual-polarization parameters provide important information about the shape and structure of precipitation particles, which is crucial for identifying strong updraft regions, hail embryo formation regions, and hail wet growth regions in artificial hail suppression operation areas. By analyzing these parameters, the key regions for hail formation and development can be determined more accurately, thus providing scientific basis and support for artificial hail suppression operations.

[0083] Specifically, it includes:

[0084] Horizontal reflectivity factor Z H (Unit: dBz): An index used to quantify the radar echo intensity, which represents the radar reflectivity factor in the horizontal polarization direction. The larger its value, the stronger the echo, usually indicating the presence of more precipitation particles.

[0085] Differential reflectivity Z DR (Unit: dB): The logarithmic form of the ratio of the radar reflectivity factors in the vertical polarization direction to the horizontal polarization direction. Its positive value usually indicates that the reflectivity factor in the vertical polarization direction is higher than that in the horizontal polarization direction, which is caused by the non-spherical shape of precipitation particles.

[0086] Specific differential phase K DP (Unit: ° / km): The rate of change of the phase difference between the vertical polarization and horizontal polarization signals. It reflects the non-spherical degree of precipitation particles and the complexity of the internal structure of precipitation particles.

[0087] Correlation coefficient CC (unit: dimensionless): The degree of correlation between the vertical polarization and horizontal polarization signals. A value close to 1 indicates a strong correlation between the two polarization signals, meaning that the shapes of precipitation particles are relatively consistent.

[0088] Such as Figure 2 As shown, the identification of strong updraft regions includes:

[0089] According to the dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles, identify the regional layers in each layer from the lowest layer upwards; the regional layer is the area where the Z DR value is greater than 2 dB and the area is greater than 1 square kilometer;

[0090] Combined with the altitude and longitude and latitude coordinates, merge all the regional layers to construct a three-dimensional image;

[0091] Based on the three-dimensional image, identify the region that continuously extends upwards from the lowest layer elevation angle to 1 kilometer above the 0 °C layer altitude;

[0092] Judge whether the identified region forms a continuous columnar region; if so, this columnar region is the strong updraft region.

[0093] Such as Figure 3 As shown, the identification of frozen-drop type hail embryo regions includes:

[0094] Based on the dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles, in the area where the altitude is greater than the 0°C layer, identify the horizontal reflectivity factor Z H greater than 45 dBz and the differential reflectivity Z DR less than or equal to 0 dB region;

[0095] Judge whether the identified area is less than 5 kilometers away from the top edge of the strong updraft area; if so, proceed to the next step;

[0096] Judge whether the length, width, and height of the identified area all exceed 500 meters; if so, this area is the frozen-drop type hail embryo area.

[0097] As Figure 4 shown, the identification of the graupel type hail embryo area includes:

[0098] Based on the dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles, in the area where the altitude is greater than the -10°C layer, identify the horizontal reflectivity factor Z H greater than 35 dBz, the differential reflectivity Z DR less than 1 dB and the correlation coefficient CC greater than 0.99 region;

[0099] Judge whether the length, width, and height of the identified area all exceed 500 meters; if so, this area is the graupel type hail embryo area.

[0100] As Figure 5 shown, the identification of the hail wet growth area includes:

[0101] Based on the dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles, in the area where the altitude is greater than the -10°C layer and less than the -20°C layer, identify the correlation coefficient CC greater than 0.85 and less than 0.95, the horizontal reflectivity factor Z H greater than 50 dBz, the differential reflectivity Z DR less than 0 dB and the specific differential phase K DP missing measurement region;

[0102] Judge whether the length, width, and height of the identified area are all greater than 500 meters; if so, this area is the hail wet growth area.

[0103] In this step, by analyzing the dual-polarization radar parameters at different radar scanning elevation angles, key areas such as the strong updraft area, frozen-drop type hail embryo area, graupel type hail embryo area, and hail wet growth area are efficiently identified.

[0104] Specifically, a strong updraft area is determined by constructing a three-dimensional image recognition of a columnar area continuously extending from the lowest elevation angle to 1 kilometer above the 0°C layer altitude; in the area where the altitude is greater than the 0°C layer, an area with a horizontal reflectivity factor greater than 45 dBz and a differential reflectivity less than or equal to 0 dB is identified as the frozen-drop type hail embryo area; in the area where the altitude is greater than the -10°C layer, an area with a horizontal reflectivity factor greater than 35 dBz, a differential reflectivity less than 1 dB, and a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99 is identified as the graupel type hail embryo area; in the area where the altitude is greater than the -10°C layer and less than the -20°C layer, an area with a correlation coefficient between 0.85 and 0.95, a horizontal reflectivity factor greater than 50 dBz, a differential reflectivity less than 0 dB, and a missing specific differential phase KDP is identified as the hail wet growth area. This not only improves the accuracy of recognition but also helps to give early warnings and effectively intervene in the formation and development process of hail.

[0105] Furthermore, after identifying the above key areas such as the strong updraft area, the frozen-drop type hail embryo area, the graupel type hail embryo area, and the hail wet growth area, the specific process of hail prevention operations includes:

[0106] According to the identified key areas, formulate a detailed operation plan, including operation time, location, type of catalyst used, etc. Prepare operation tools such as rockets or anti-aircraft guns equipped with cold cloud catalysts and ensure that the equipment is in good condition.

[0107] After identifying the strong updraft area, use a rocket or anti-aircraft gun to send the catalyst into this area. The updraft will carry the catalyst to higher places in the cloud, especially ensuring that the catalyst reaches the hail embryo area or the wet growth area to achieve the effect of inhibiting the formation and growth of hail.

[0108] Operation in the frozen-drop type hail embryo area: Once the frozen-drop type hail embryo area is identified, immediately start the operation procedure. Spray the catalyst into this area to prevent or slow down the formation of hail, and intervene as much as possible at the hail embryo stage to prevent the further development of hail.

[0109] Operation in the graupel type hail embryo area: After identifying the graupel type hail embryo area, take prompt action and drop the catalyst into this area. Change the characteristics of the graupel through catalytic action to prevent or slow down the formation of hail.

[0110] Operation in the hail wet growth area: After identifying the hail wet growth area, take prompt operation measures. Prevent or slow down the formation of large hailstones (with a diameter of more than 2 cm) by operating in this area, especially ensuring that the catalyst can effectively act on the wet growth stage of hail.

[0111] In addition, continuously monitor radar data and other meteorological parameters during the operation process to evaluate the operation effect. And according to the monitoring results, adjust the operation strategy in a timely manner to ensure the best operation effect.

[0112] Through the above operation process, this embodiment can not only accurately identify the key areas, but also take effective measures before or at the initial stage of hail formation, thereby significantly improving the effect and pertinence of artificial hail prevention operations.
