Short-term heavy rainfall refers to convective rainfall with precipitation exceeding 20 mm within an hour and radar echo exceeding 35dBZ. This makes it impossible to effectively test the effect of short-term heavy rainfall, and thus makes it impossible to evaluate the model's ability to forecast short-term heavy rainfall. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for testing and evaluating the effect of short-term heavy rainfall, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0015] S23. Use higher-level thresholds successively to perform single-threshold identification on the target echo area, and perform corrosion and expansion operations on the identified storm body in each level of identification process, so as to gradually separate the individual storm cells with uneven strength in the storm cluster.

[0016] Preferably, when the boundaries of the storm body touch each other or touch the boundary of the storm body originally identified by the lower threshold during the expansion process, the expansion process is stopped.

[0017] Preferably, the target echo area is an area where the echo intensity is greater than or equal to 35 dBZ.

[0018] Preferably, the preset precipitation intensity is 20 mm / hour.

[0019] The present invention also aims to provide a short-term heavy rainfall effect inspection and evaluation system, which can implement any of the above-mentioned methods; the system comprises:

It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described here are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a short-term heavy rainfall effect inspection and evaluation method is provided. First, the convective system type is determined, namely, convective storm, convective precipitation and mixed convection. Then, the TS score and RMSE are used to evaluate the precipitation of grid points and stations. This method can be used for meteorological research and forecast model evaluation. The data types that can be processed include netcdf and ASCII decimal files. The method of the present invention mainly includes the following contents:

[0027] 1. Data preprocessing:

[0028] The observed precipitation and the radar echo and precipitation data predicted by the model are input and spatially interpolated to make the observation and forecast spatially match.

[0029] 2. Convective Storm Identification:

[0030] The forecast radar echo is analyzed for intensity to identify the target echo area. Starting from the first-level threshold, higher-level thresholds are used in sequence to identify the storm body in the target echo area, and the identification results are eroded and / or expanded to separate the storm cells of uneven strength in the storm cluster step by step.

[0031] The specific steps include:

[0033] 2.2. Use a higher threshold to perform single threshold recognition on the target echo area and perform expansion on the recognized storm body. When the boundaries of the storm body touch each other or the boundaries of the storm body originally recognized by the lower threshold during the expansion process, stop the expansion process.

[0034] 2.3. Use higher-level thresholds successively to perform single-threshold identification on the target echo area, and perform corrosion and expansion operations on the identified storm body in each level of identification process, so as to gradually separate the storm cells with uneven strength in the storm cluster.

[0035] In this embodiment, the target echo area is an area where the echo intensity is greater than or equal to 35 dBZ.

[0036] 3. Short-term heavy precipitation forecast assessment:

[0037] Calculate the TS score and RMSE in the target echo area where the precipitation intensity is greater than or equal to the preset precipitation intensity.

[0038] In this embodiment, the preset precipitation intensity is 20 mm / hour.

[0039] In this embodiment, a short-term heavy rainfall effect inspection and evaluation system is provided, and the system can implement the above-mentioned method; the system includes:

[0040] 1. Data preprocessing module: input observed precipitation and radar echo and precipitation data predicted by the model, and perform spatial interpolation to make the observed and predicted spaces match;

[0041] 2. Convective storm identification module: Analyze the intensity of the forecast radar echo and identify the target echo area; use higher thresholds from the first level to identify the storm body in the target echo area, and perform corrosion and / or expansion operations on the identification results, so as to gradually separate the storm cells with uneven strength in the storm cluster;

[0042] 3. Short-term heavy precipitation forecast evaluation module: Calculate the TS score and RMSE in the target echo area where the precipitation intensity is greater than or equal to the preset precipitation intensity.

[0043] In this embodiment, the present invention is mainly developed using fortran and python, including a series of command line tools, each of which focuses on a specific meteorological data processing or analysis task.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution disclosed in the present invention, the following beneficial effects are obtained:

[0046] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be considered as the scope of protection of the present invention.
