Abstract
Description
Background Art
[0002] Ocean motion is affected by multiple factors such as atmospheric forcing, celestial body gravity, and baroclinic effects, making it difficult for traditional statistical models to accurately predict extreme ocean phenomena. With the progress of computer technology, ocean numerical forecasting has become the mainstream method by solving the dynamic equations. However, traditional vertical coordinates have calculation errors in the baroclinic gradient force in steep terrain areas, affecting the accuracy of flow field simulation. Statistical models cannot capture complex dynamic mechanisms and have insufficient prediction ability for extreme events. Early ocean models (such as two-dimensional models) ignored vertical turbulent dissipation and baroclinic effects and were difficult to simulate phenomena such as internal waves and thermoclines. Traditional backward Lagrangian tracking did not consider uncertainties such as wind-induced drift, differences in target types, and wind field randomness. There is a lack of a traceability model that couples multiple physical fields (wind, waves, tides), making it difficult to reflect the influence of the real ocean environment; in long-term traceability, model errors accumulate, resulting in results deviating from the actual trajectory. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the drift and traceability analysis of marine targets, effectively solving the above problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0005] A method for predicting the drift and traceability analysis of marine targets is proposed, and the method includes the following steps:
[0006] S1. Obtain the falling water position, time of the marine target, and ocean and atmospheric numerical forecast field data;
[0007] S2. Construct a wave-current coupling model of FVCOM combined with SWAN, and use the Monte Carlo method to simulate the trajectory of a set of particles placed at the last known position of the target according to the target type, and predict the drift trajectory and search and rescue range of the target;
[0008] S3. Collect the position and time when the target is found in the actual space-time, and the analysis data of the actual space-time wind field and flow field during the accident, and perform reverse conversion of time series and field data;
[0009] S4. Construct a traceability model and assimilate the data, and convert the drift trajectory prediction result in the virtual space-time into the traceability analysis result in the actual space-time.
[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the S2 includes the following specific steps:
[0011] S21. Calculate the ocean current using the FVCOM model. Select the vertical coordinate as the bottom-following coordinate. Use the Mellor-Yamada 2.5-level turbulence closure sub-model to calculate the vertical mixing and the Smagorinsky turbulence closure sub-model to calculate the horizontal mixing. Adopt the inner-outer model separation algorithm and set the open boundary conditions. The tidal level and current data at the strait boundary are predicted from the harmonic constants of each tidal component, and the water level, flow velocity, temperature, and salinity data are provided by the daily-averaged HYCOM reanalysis data.
[0012] S22. Determine the sea surface driving conditions. Use the NCEP-CFSR reanalysis data with a spatial resolution of 0.5°×0.5° and a time interval of 6 hours to provide the 10-meter sea surface wind speed, shortwave radiation Q s , longwave radiation Q l , sensible heat flux Q h , latent heat flux Q e , evaporation and precipitation, and the net heat flux Q n = Q s - Q l ± Q h ± Q e , and set the model time and time step.
[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that S2 further includes:
[0014] S23. Set the SWAN model. The calculation grid and water depth topography are the same as those of the FVCOM model. The forcing field is the wind field data at 10 m above the sea surface of the CFSR reanalysis data. The simulation calculation starts four days in advance, with a time step of 1 h and 5 iterations, and the result output step is 1 h.
[0015] S24. Perform coupled calculations to achieve two-way coupled simulation of FVCOM and SWAN, and calculate the influence of the Stokes drift and wave radiation stress on the flow field.
[0016] A further improvement of the present invention is that the Stokes drift calculation formula in S24 is:
[0017]
[0018] where U ss is the rate of Stokes drift on the ocean surface; is the unit wave number vector of the wave; k is the wave number of the wave; a is the amplitude of the wave; σ is the frequency of the wave; the Stokes drift calculation formula expressed by the significant wave height and the mean wave period T is:
[0019]

[0028]
[0029]
[0030] where R is the search radius, is the distance from the calculation point to the observation point, and R σ is the vertical search radius, T w is the assimilation time window, Δθ is the angular difference, and c1 is a calculation constant with a value range of 0.05 - 0.5.
[0031] The technical effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0032] A method for predicting the drift and tracing the source of marine targets is constructed. By combining the SWAN wave model and considering the feedback of waves on ocean currents (such as Stokes drift and radiation stress), the present invention enhances the authenticity of the flow field prediction; decomposes the wind-induced drift into along-wind and cross-wind components, and considering the target type, wind field randomness, and stranding probability, improves the accuracy of drift prediction; transforms the source tracing problem into a forward prediction in virtual space-time, and processes the initial position uncertainty through the Monte Carlo method to expand the search range; introduces the nudging assimilation method to integrate observational data to correct the flow field simulation error, especially reducing the model cumulative error in long-term source tracing and improving the reliability of the results.
