Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of precipitation measurement, and in particular to a virtual rain gauge setting simulation method based on satellite precipitation data. Background Art

[0002] As the core link of the natural water cycle, precipitation has a direct impact on many aspects of the economy and society due to its intensity changes and distribution characteristics. In the field of agricultural production, timely and appropriate precipitation is an indispensable natural condition for the growth of crops; in water resources management, accurate precipitation information provides a scientific basis for reservoir scheduling and optimal allocation of water resources; in disaster prevention and mitigation, timely grasp of precipitation dynamics is crucial for predicting and responding to natural disasters such as floods and mudslides. Therefore, building an efficient and accurate precipitation monitoring network is of immeasurable value for ensuring agricultural safety, promoting the rational use of water resources, and improving disaster warning capabilities. The rain gauge network is the cornerstone of this monitoring system. By setting up rain gauges in widely distributed geographical locations, continuous observation and recording of precipitation can be achieved, providing basic data support for meteorological services, hydrological research, and environmental management.

[0003] Although the rain gauge network plays an irreplaceable role in precipitation monitoring, its development and application also face many challenges. First, due to the high cost of construction and maintenance, especially in remote areas with poor economic conditions, the layout of rain gauges is often difficult to achieve the ideal density, resulting in scarce or even blank precipitation data in some areas. Secondly, factors such as complex terrain and inconvenient transportation also limit the coverage and data quality of rain gauges, especially in difficult-to-reach areas such as mountains and forests. The effective operation and maintenance of rain gauges face many difficulties. In addition, existing rain gauges often rely on manual maintenance, with low data collection and processing efficiency, and are easily affected by human factors, affecting the accuracy and timeliness of the data. The existence of these problems makes the existing rain gauge network have certain limitations in comprehensively and accurately reflecting regional precipitation conditions.

[0004] Traditional statistical methods often have difficulty accurately capturing the spatial distribution characteristics of precipitation when dealing with such complex terrain, resulting in large errors in the estimation results. Existing precipitation information acquisition technologies often face the trade-off between accuracy and coverage. Although statistical methods based on ground station networks can provide relatively high-precision precipitation data, their coverage is limited and data is seriously missing. Although satellite remote sensing technology can provide large-scale, continuous precipitation observation data, its data accuracy is relatively low, which is difficult to meet the needs of high-precision precipitation research or engineering planning. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a virtual rain gauge setting simulation method based on satellite precipitation data to solve the problems existing in the existing precipitation information acquisition technology, such as the contradiction between accuracy and coverage and insufficient data processing efficiency.

[0017] Further: S4 includes: S41, based on the distribution characteristics and weighted cosine similarity of satellite precipitation information entropy at different station locations, screening similar initial observation points of each potential setting point and assigning calculation weights; S42, checking the information transmission strength of the potential setting points relative to the initial observation points, and further selecting points that meet the accuracy conditions from the screened potential setting points as the original virtual rainfall stations; S43, estimating the daily precipitation value of the original virtual rain gauge station according to the allocated weight; S44. The accuracy of the daily precipitation values ​​of the original virtual rain gauge is evaluated according to the Taylor score, Nash efficiency coefficient and Klinger-Gupta efficiency coefficient, and the preliminary virtual rain gauge that meets the accuracy evaluation is used as the virtual rain gauge.

[0036] Information entropy is used to measure the uncertainty of information and can be used to describe the complexity and amount of information in data. By comparing the information entropy between the initial observation point and the potential setting point, the loss or gain of information in the transmission process can be evaluated. Specifically, in S3, the information entropy between the initial observation point and the potential setting point is The expression is:

[0037] in, X and Y denote the precipitation random variables at the initial observation point and the potential setting point, respectively, express X and Y The joint probability distribution of Represents mutual information, which is used to measure the information transmission between the initial observation point and the potential setting point. The value of information transmission is between 0 and 1. The larger the value, the stronger the correlation between the variables. If the two sites are independent of each other, then is 0, no information is transmitted; if the two sites are completely related, then 1 means that all information is transmitted between the two. m and r are the total number of initial observation points and potential setting points, j and k Respectively refer to j The initial observation point and k potential setting points.
