Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of meteorological measurement, in particular to a raindrop spectrometer correction method and related device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Drop Size Distribution (DSD), as a core indicator for evaluating the microstructure of precipitation, describes the number distribution of different equivalent volume diameter raindrops in a specific volume of air in detail. This parameter is crucial for a deep understanding of the microphysical processes of precipitation, including but not limited to the mechanisms of cloud generation, development and dissipation, and how they ultimately affect the intensity and raindrop size distribution characteristics of surface precipitation. The complex dynamics of precipitation, including raindrop growth, evaporation, collision and splitting, collectively contribute to the unique features of surface precipitation patterns.

[0003] Currently, advanced optical rain spectrometers, such as OTT Parsivel raindrop spectrometer, can accurately measure and analyze the microstructure of precipitation, including key parameters such as raindrop size, speed and distribution density. Based on infrared laser principles, the instrument monitors the change in laser intensity when precipitation particles pass through the measurement area by vertically emitting a thin and wide infrared laser beam. The DSP (Digital Signal Processing System) calculates the size, movement speed and type of particles based on the change in laser intensity. When precipitation particles pass through the emitted horizontal laser beam, the laser intensity will weaken due to the scattering effect of raindrops, causing a corresponding adjustment in the output voltage. By measuring the light intensity attenuation information, the diameter of the precipitation particles can be calculated; and based on the duration of the electronic signal, the falling speed of the particles can be inferred.

[0004] However, in practice, it is found that optical rain spectrometers usually assume that precipitation particles exist in liquid form and that the principal axis of the raindrops is horizontal. This simplifying assumption can have a significant deviation when measuring the concentration of raindrops, especially under high rainfall conditions, which can result in significant errors. The existence of such errors not only affects the accurate analysis of the microstructure of precipitation, but also may adversely affect the study of precipitation processes, thereby limiting the comprehensive understanding of complex precipitation phenomena.

[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the application, not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0055] Therefore, the following detailed description of embodiments of the application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application as claimed, but merely represents selected embodiments of the application. Based upon the embodiments of the application, all other embodiments that would be obtained by one of ordinary skill in the art without having to make inventive efforts, are within the scope of protection of the application.

[0056] It should be noted that similar reference numbers and letters refer to similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0057] In the description of the application, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, the terms "include", "contain" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "including a" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0058] Based on the above statement, as introduced in the background, the optical raindrop spectrometer generally assumes that the precipitation particles exist in liquid form and the principal axis direction of the raindrops is horizontal, which will have a great deviation in measuring the concentration of the raindrops, and will have a significant error especially in high rainfall conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an effective method to correct the raindrop spectrum measured by the optical raindrop spectrometer.

[0059] Based on the discovery of the above technical problems, the inventors propose the following technical solutions to solve or improve the above problems after creative efforts. It should be noted that the defects of the above prior art solutions are the result of the inventors' careful research and practice, and therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the embodiments of the application to solve the above problems should be the contribution of the inventors to the application during the invention and creation process, and should not be understood as technical content known to those skilled in the art.

[0060] In view of this, the embodiment provides a raindrop spectrometer correction method. In the method, an electronic device measures falling speeds of multiple raindrops by an optical rain spectrometer, wherein the multiple raindrops respectively have different sizes; for each raindrop, a speed compensation coefficient of the raindrop is obtained according to the falling speed of the raindrop and a theoretical speed of the raindrop, wherein the speed compensation coefficient is used to compensate the falling speed of the raindrop of the same size measured by the optical rain spectrometer. In this way, the speed compensation coefficient obtained by calculation improves the measurement accuracy of the optical rain spectrometer on the speed of the raindrop.

[0061] It should be noted that the electronic device implementing the raindrop spectrometer correction method can be, but is not limited to, a mobile terminal, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a server, and the like. Among them, the server can be a single server, or a server group. The server group can be centralized or distributed (for example, the server can be a distributed system). In some embodiments, the server can be local or remote relative to the user terminal. In some embodiments, the server can be implemented on a cloud platform; for example only, the cloud platform can include a private cloud, a public cloud, a hybrid cloud, a community cloud (Community Cloud), a distributed cloud, an inter-cloud (Inter-Cloud), a multi-cloud (Multi-Cloud), and the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the server can be implemented on an electronic device with one or more components.

[0062] To make the scheme provided by the embodiment more clear, it is assumed below that the electronic device implementing the method is a desktop computer, and the method is described in combination with Figure 1 The various steps of the method are described in detail. However, it should be understood that the operations of the flowchart can not be implemented in order, and the steps without logical context relationship can be reversed in order or implemented simultaneously. In addition, one or more other operations can be added to the flowchart or one or more operations can be removed from the flowchart under the guidance of the content of the present application. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0063] S1, measuring falling speeds of multiple raindrops by an optical rain spectrometer.

[0064] Among them, the multiple raindrops respectively have different sizes. For this, it should be understood that the falling speed of the raindrop is related to the size of the raindrop, and the embodiment measures the size of the raindrop by the diameter of the raindrop, so the embodiment classifies the raindrops measured by the optical rain spectrometer by the diameter. In view of the fact that there is a certain accidental error in the measured falling speed of a single raindrop for each raindrop, the embodiment further provides the following optional implementation of step S1:

[0065] S1-1, measuring multiple measured falling speeds of each raindrop by the optical rain spectrometer.

[0066] It should be noted that the above measured fall speeds are the results after filtering the original fall speeds. Speeds that meet any of the following conditions will be filtered out:

[0067] (1) The original falling velocity comes from raindrops with a diameter of more than 7.5 mm;

[0068] (2) The original falling speed exceeds the theoretical speed by ±3 m / s.

[0069] S1-2, the average velocity of each raindrop is obtained based on multiple measured falling velocities of each type of raindrop.

[0070] S1-3, the average speed of each type of raindrop is taken as the falling speed of the raindrop.

[0071] Thus, for each type of raindrop, multiple measured falling velocities can be obtained using an optical rain spectrometer, and the average velocity of these measured falling velocities can be calculated as the falling velocity of each type of raindrop.

[0072] Based on the various raindrop falling speeds described in the above embodiments, please refer to... Figure 1 The method provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0073] S2, for each type of raindrop, the velocity compensation coefficient of the raindrop is obtained based on the falling velocity of the raindrop and the theoretical velocity of the raindrop.

[0074] The velocity compensation coefficient is used to compensate for the falling velocity of raindrops of the same size measured by the optical rain spectrometer.

[0075] It's important to note that research has shown that raindrops are affected by both gravity and air resistance during their descent. When a raindrop first begins to fall, its speed is low, and air resistance is also low, causing it to accelerate. As its speed increases, air resistance gradually increases. When the air resistance equals the raindrop's weight, the raindrop reaches a stable descent velocity, its terminal velocity. The larger the diameter of the raindrop, the greater its mass, and consequently, the stronger the gravitational force. For the same air resistance coefficient, a larger diameter raindrop needs to reach a higher speed to equalize air resistance and gravity. Therefore, the final descent velocity of a raindrop is influenced by its diameter.

[0076] This embodiment, after fitting a large amount of data on the correspondence between raindrop diameter and falling speed, derives the relationship between the size of each type of raindrop and its theoretical speed:

[0077] v(D) = -0.1021 + 4.932D - 0.9551D 2 +0.079D 3 -0.002D 4

[0078] In the formula, D represents the diameter of each type of raindrop, and v(D) represents the theoretical velocity corresponding to diameter D. Thus, for each size of raindrop, the theoretical velocity at the moment of impact can be calculated using the above expression. Then, the difference between this theoretical velocity and the measured velocity is calculated and used as the velocity compensation coefficient for that type of raindrop. Therefore, this velocity compensation coefficient can be used to correct the velocity measured by an optical rain spectrometer for raindrops of the same size.

[0079] It should be noted that while theoretical model calculations can predict raindrop falling speeds, they are not directly replaced by theoretical speeds. This is because measured speeds provide information about the actual behavior of raindrops, which may be affected by factors such as wind turbulence. Therefore, the speed compensation coefficient for each size is used to adjust its average speed to match the expected terminal speed calculated using the theoretical model, while retaining information about the actual speed distribution.

[0080] For example, Figure 2A The image shows the falling speeds of various raindrops as measured by an optical rain spectrometer. Figure 2B The image shows the corrected falling speeds of various raindrops.

[0081] Furthermore, this implementation also corrects for the raindrop concentration measured by the optical rain spectrometer. Therefore, as Figure 3 As shown, the raindrop spectrometer calibration method provided in this embodiment further includes:

[0082] S3, for each preset rainfall intensity, obtain the concentration correction coefficient sequence for each raindrop under each rainfall intensity.

[0083] S4. Sort the concentration correction coefficient sequence according to its size to obtain the sorting result of the concentration correction coefficient sequence.

[0084] The concentration correction coefficient sequence includes multiple concentration correction coefficients. Furthermore, this embodiment includes the following rainfall intensities: 0-0.5 mm / h, 0.5-1 mm / h, 1-10 mm / h, and >10 mm / h. Raindrop concentrations under different rainfall intensities need to be studied separately. In this embodiment, the multiple concentration correction coefficients are obtained from different time steps; therefore, as an optional implementation of step S3, it may include:

[0085] S3-1, for each time step, the measured raindrop concentration and reference raindrop concentration of each type of raindrop within the time step are measured by a raindrop spectrometer under the rainfall intensity.

[0086] S3-2, based on the measured raindrop concentration and the reference raindrop concentration of each raindrop within the time step, obtain the concentration correction coefficient of each raindrop within the time step.

[0087] The reference raindrop concentration is measured using a high-precision raindrop spectrometer. In this embodiment, the raindrop concentration measured by a two-dimensional video raindrop spectrometer (2DVD) is selected as the reference raindrop concentration. For example, continuing with the Parsivel raindrop spectrometer, both the Parsivel and 2DVD raindrop spectrometers are installed for data acquisition, ensuring that both instruments are positioned at the same location. This allows for the acquisition of the measured raindrop concentration and the reference raindrop concentration for each type of raindrop within a short time step. The ratio between the measured and reference raindrop concentrations for each type of raindrop within that time step is then used as the concentration correction coefficient for that raindrop within that time step.

[0088] The formula for calculating the concentration correction factor is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, P(i) represents the concentration correction coefficient for the i-th type of raindrop, and N 2DVD (i) represents the reference raindrop concentration of the i-th type of raindrop measured by the two-dimensional video raindrop spectrometer, N Parsivel (i) represents the test raindrop concentration of the i-th type of raindrop as measured by the Parsivel raindrop spectrometer.

[0091] In this way, the concentration correction coefficient sequence for each raindrop under each rainfall intensity can be obtained. Finally, the concentration correction coefficient sequences for each raindrop are sorted by size to obtain the sorted results of the concentration correction coefficient sequences.

[0092] As another optional implementation of step S3, multiple concentration correction coefficients are obtained from different iteration cycles. Each iteration cycle includes multiple time steps, and each concentration correction coefficient is obtained from a certain time step in the corresponding iteration cycle.

[0093] For example, continuing with the Parsivel raindrop spectrometer, a Parsivel raindrop spectrometer and a 2D video raindrop spectrometer (2DVD) are installed for data acquisition. During installation, ensure that both instruments are in the same location for measurement. For each rainfall intensity, obtain the concentration correction coefficient sequence by following these steps:

[0094] (1) Based on the rainfall intensity measured by Parsivel, the data are grouped according to rainfall intensity. For example, the rainfall intensity can be divided into the following groups: 0-0.5 mm / h, 0.5-1 mm / h, 1-10 mm / h, and >10 mm / h.

[0095] (2) For each time step, the measured raindrop concentration of each type of raindrop is measured using 2DVD and Parsivel, and the concentration correction coefficient P(i) for each type of raindrop within that time step is calculated:

[0096]

[0097] (3) For each type of raindrop, accumulate the concentration correction coefficient P(i) over all time steps, and sort the accumulated concentration correction coefficients in ascending order. Based on the sorting result, find the median value located in the middle position as the concentration correction coefficient for this iteration period. Wherein, if the number of accumulated concentration correction coefficients is odd, the median value is the concentration correction coefficient located in the middle position; if the number of accumulated concentration correction coefficients is even, the median value is the average of the two concentration correction coefficients located in the middle position.

[0098] It should be noted that the median value was chosen because, in practice, it was found that the median value is not sensitive to outliers and is not affected by extreme values. Therefore, it is more representative of the typical characteristics of the data. Using the median value as the concentration correction coefficient can ensure that the correction process is not dominated by a few abnormal large or small raindrops.

[0099] (4) Iterate through steps 2 to 3 above to obtain the concentration correction coefficients for multiple iterations of each type of raindrop. For example, repeat the iteration 100 times to obtain 100 concentration correction coefficients for each type of raindrop, thereby performing multiple iterations and random sampling on the concentration correction coefficients.

[0100] Based on the above examples illustrating the concentration correction coefficient sequence, please refer to... Figure 3 The method provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0101] S5, select the target concentration correction coefficient for each raindrop from the middle position of the sorting results for each type of raindrop.

[0102] Thus, the target concentration correction coefficients for each type of raindrop are obtained through the above embodiments, and are used to correct the raindrop concentration measured by the optical rain spectrometer for raindrops of the same size. For example, the following are the target concentration correction coefficients for each type of raindrop under different rainfall intensities, obtained through actual measurements by the Parsivel rain spectrometer and the two-dimensional video rain spectrometer:

[0103] Class (i) D i (mm) [0.1 0.5] [0.5 1] [1 10] >10 1 0.31 1.67 2.01 6.71 14.41 2 0.44 1.48 1.47 3.6 6.43 3 0.56 1.13 1.35 3.14 5.92 4 0.69 0.88 1.06 1.87 4.24 5 0.81 0.86 1.0 1.68 3.34 6 0.94 0.76 0.71 1.11 2.17 7 1.06 0.72 0.80 1.03 1.85 8 1.19 1.01 0.94 1.27 1.89 9 1.38 0.77 0.72 0.77 1.26 10 1.63 1.0 1.14 0.97 1.21 11 1.88 0.79 1.03 0.87 1.1 12 2.13 0.61 1.21 1.02 1.05

[0104] It should be noted that optical rain spectrometers are suitable for large-scale deployment due to their affordability. By correcting the data measured by the optical rain spectrometer using the methods described above, the same testing accuracy as high-cost rain spectrometers (e.g., two-dimensional video rain spectrometers) can be obtained at a lower cost.

[0105] Based on the same inventive concept as the raindrop spectrometer calibration method provided in this embodiment, this embodiment also provides a raindrop spectrometer calibration device. This device includes at least one software functional module that can be stored in a memory or embedded in an electronic device. The processor in the electronic device executes the executable module stored in the memory.

[0107] The data correction module 12 is used to obtain the velocity compensation coefficient of each raindrop based on the falling velocity and the theoretical velocity of the raindrop. The velocity compensation coefficient is used to compensate for the falling velocity measured by the optical rain spectrometer for raindrops of the same size.

[0108] In this embodiment, the data acquisition module 11 is used to implement Figure 1 In step S1, the data correction module 12 is used to implement... Figure 1 Step S2 in the above describes the process. Therefore, for a detailed description of each module, please refer to the specific implementation of the corresponding step. Furthermore, given that it shares the same inventive concept as the above-described raindrop spectrometer calibration method, the above-described raindrop spectrometer calibration device can also implement other steps or sub-steps of the method through a data acquisition module, a data calibration module, or other modules.
