[0002] Severe convective weather refers to disastrous weather accompanied by thunderstorm phenomena, including short-term heavy precipitation, thunderstorm gales, hail, and tornadoes, etc. Severe convective weather is mainly caused by meso-scale convective systems, which release a large amount of energy in a short period of time, forming strong convective phenomena. Severe convective weather is characterized by a small range, rapid development, and fast movement speed. It is usually accompanied by strong winds, rain, hail and other phenomena, with extremely great destructive power.

Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0040] Figure 1 The flowchart of a method 100 for quality inspection and evaluation of severe convective radar identification products according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The method 100 includes:

[0041] Step 110, obtaining severe convective radar identification products.

[0042] In some embodiments, the severe convective radar identification products are user alarm information products. For example, various alarm products for severe convective weather of single- and dual-polarization weather radars, including hail, thunderstorm with strong wind, short-term heavy precipitation, and tornado user alarm information (UAM) products. That is, the data of user alarm information products for hail, thunderstorm with strong wind, short-term heavy precipitation, and tornado weather processes.

[0043] In some embodiments, the hail alarm product is a single-station radar hail alarm product; the thunderstorm with strong wind alarm product is a single-station radar thunderstorm with strong wind alarm product; the heavy precipitation alarm product is a single-station radar short-term heavy precipitation alarm product, and so on.

[0044] Step 120, obtaining severe convective actual situation data within the coverage of a single radar station.

[0045] In some embodiments, the severe convective actual situation data is the location where severe convection occurs, the start time and end time, and the intensity level.

[0046] In some embodiments, the hail actual data includes: hail record information in the daily observation data of ground stations; the start time, end time, location, hail size, and the area where hail occurs described in the actual situation reporting system for disasters; hail occurrence information reported by online media, etc. Before inspection, the actual data needs to be preprocessed. If the time and location of hail occurrence described in the disaster situation are consistent with the evolution of radar echoes, it is directly adopted; if the location of hail occurrence described in the disaster situation is relatively accurate but there is an error in the reported occurrence time, the reported occurrence time should be revised according to products such as radar echo intensity and VIL change. After the hail occurrence time is determined, a "time window" is established, that is, the reported start time is pushed forward by 3 volume scans (18 minutes), and the reported end time (if any) is extended backward by 2 volume scans (12 minutes). The forward push is to account for the time from hail generation to reaching the ground, and the backward extension is to account for the fact that hail lasts for a certain period and there are still certain errors in the reporting time. For example, the time and location of hail occurrence from sources such as meteorological stations, disaster situation direct reports, the Internet, and the media; the time and location of hail and tornado occurrence identified from videos taken by witnesses or on-site investigations; an echo area with a reflectivity above 65 dBZ (especially extending to heights above the 0°C level) on the radar echo in sparsely populated areas, and the radar observes triple-bounce scattering, sidelobe echoes, or a "V" notch (C-band), which can be used as one of the indication characteristics of large hail, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, the severe thunderstorm wind actual data: the hourly or minute-level wind data of multiple stations selected from the ground observation business assessment stations in the site data actual situation. The wind data of the stations needs to be data after quality control or correction. Select the wind element and obtain the time when the strong wind appears. Note: The wind data must be typical severe thunderstorm wind data, excluding the wind data caused by cold air and typhoons, except for the wind caused by the squall line in front of the stage. Before inspection, the actual data needs to be preprocessed. Select to perform spatio-temporal matching between the ground strong wind stations and the radar reflectivity factor, and screen the strong wind stations within the range of ≥35 dBZ as the effective test true values, and read the time when the strong wind appears and match it with the severe thunderstorm wind identification time. For example, the strong wind data of the ground automatic meteorological observation station with an hourly maximum wind ≥17.2 m / s and a 2-minute average wind ≥16 m / s after quality control, excluding non-severe thunderstorm wind data such as cold air wind, terrain (such as high mountains) wind, and gust front wind separated from the parent body; the radar radial velocity data after quality control, check the strong wind core (radial velocity ≥20 m / s) and divergent velocity pairs (spacing ≤4 km, velocity difference >10 m / s) corresponding to a strong echo area (≥40 dBZ) at low elevation angles or heights below 1 km, which can be used as the actual situation of severe thunderstorm wind without ground measurement stations, and it is recorded that there is a strong wind above level 8 on the ground.

[0048] In some embodiments, for the actual heavy precipitation data: the actual site data selects the hourly precipitation or minute-level precipitation data of multiple stations of the ground observation business assessment stations, and the precipitation site data needs to be data after quality control or correction.

[0049] In some embodiments, for the actual tornado data: the actual observations or disaster investigation data observed by meteorological observation stations, etc.

[0050] Step 130, perform time matching and space matching on the severe convective radar identification product and the severe convective actual data.

[0051] In some embodiments, performing time matching and space matching on the severe convective radar identification product and the severe convective actual data includes: determining a time window according to the start time and / or end time; taking the location where severe convection occurs as the center and a preset length as the radius to determine the meteorological actual area within the time window as the actual occurrence area; determining whether there is an alarm message sent by the severe convective radar identification product (for example, the user alarm information product) within the actual occurrence area. If so, the matching is successful.

[0052] 1) Hail:

[0053] Time matching: At a certain location, taking the volume scan closest to the start time of hail as the reference, push forward 3 volume scan times as the start of the "true value" time window for hail warning, and push backward 2 volume scan times as the end of the time window. If there is an actual end time of hail, use the end time as the end of the warning "true value" time window. Space matching: After establishing the "true value" time window for hail warning, adopt the point-to-face neighborhood test method. With the actual position of hail as the center, search for user warning information hail warning areas within a radius of 20 km, and conduct space matching between the actual hail and the warning area. When there is user warning information hail warning within a radius of 20 km centered on the actual position of hail, it is rated as a hit; when there is no hail warning within a radius of 20 km centered on the actual position of hail, it is rated as a miss; for the remaining hail warnings, that is, there is no actual hail in the hail warning area, it is rated as a false alarm. For example, within 20 km, when there is both hail warning and actual hail, it is rated as "hit", recorded as 1 hit, and the number of hits is recorded as such (but when calculating the hit rate, if there is more than 1 hit, the hit rate is 100%); for a certain time period, if there are two or more warning points within a radius of 20 km, count 1 warning point as 1 hit, and the remaining warning points are all rated as false alarms, and the number of false alarm points is rated as such; if there are no warning points within a radius of 20 km, it is rated as a miss, and the number of actual points missed is rated as such. Attribution of hit and false alarm distance bins: Identify which distance bin the point is located in and classify it into that distance bin. Attribution of miss distance bins is based on the distance bin where the actual position is located. Note: When calculating the hit rate and miss rate, as long as there is 1 hit within the time window and within a radius of 20 km, then the hit rate is 100% and the miss rate is 0%.

[0054] 2) Thunderstorm gales:

[0055] If the actual data uses hourly maximum wind data:

[0056] Time matching: Search for the time when the ground hourly maximum wind of 17.2 m / s appears 1 hour after the whole hour moment of the wind data. Arrange all the times as the time period when the wind appears, and then push forward 2 volume scan times and backward 1 volume scan time from this time period as the true value of the evaluation time window.

[0057] Space matching: With the identified recognition point as the center, search within a radius of 20 km to see if there is a high wind station within this range.

[0058] Matching method:

[0059] Centered on the recognition point, within a range of 20 km, if there is 1 or more strong wind stations on the ground within this range, then this recognition point is recorded as being hit once. The wind at the ground truth station belongs to the corresponding level. If there are two or more levels, it is classified into the highest level. The recognition point belongs to the corresponding distance range. Severe thunderstorm winds are evaluated by wind speed level, divided into levels 8 - 9, 10 - 11, and ≥12 for evaluation.

[0060] Except for the above-mentioned strong wind stations that are hit, for the remaining strong wind stations, centered on this station, within a search radius of 20 km, if not recognized, it is recorded as a missed report once, and the number of stations is recorded as the number of missed reports (station spacing is greater than 20 km). The wind at the ground truth station belongs to the corresponding level, and the ground truth station belongs to the corresponding distance range.

[0061] Centered on the recognition point, within a range of 20 km, if there is no strong wind station within this range, then this recognition point is recorded as a false alarm once; the recognition point belongs to the corresponding distance range. The number of false alarms is counted regardless of intensity level, but by distance level. The number of false alarms + the number of hits = all recognition points.

[0062] If the actual data uses minute-level strong wind data (1 minute):

[0063] If the ground truth data uses minute-level data, in terms of time matching, the time of the recognition product should be consistent with the time of the ground minute-level strong wind stations. The strong wind station is defined as 16.5 m / s. For example: if the time of the recognition product is 3:00 and the next volume scan time is 3:06, then the maximum value of each strong wind station between 3:00 - 3:06 is selected as the actual data at 3:00 for the ground truth and matched with the data of the recognition product at 3:00. The spatial matching is the same as above.

[0064] 3) Short-time heavy precipitation:

[0065] The point-to-area neighborhood test method is adopted.

[0066] If the actual data uses hourly precipitation data at the whole hour:

[0067] Time matching: The recognition time of short-time heavy precipitation should be consistent with the time of the hourly precipitation data of the ground precipitation truth. For example: if the hourly precipitation data of the ground precipitation truth is at 03:00, the recognition time of short-time heavy precipitation is 03:00 or the volume scan time closest to 03:00.

[0068] Spatial matching: Based on the recognized area, search whether there are heavy precipitation stations within this recognized area for matching.

[0069] Matching method:

[0070] Within the identified area, if there is one or more rainfall stations with a rainfall of ≥20 mm / h on the ground within this area, then this identified area is recorded as being hit once. The rainfall level of the ground truth station belongs to which level is classified into that level. If there are more than two levels, it is classified into the largest level. The distance range to which the center point within the identified area belongs is classified into that distance range. At the same time, for the matched pairs that are hit, calculate the error value (add an error index for short-duration heavy rainfall), that is, the rainfall value at the identified point minus the value of the largest rainfall station within this identified area.

[0071] Excluding the above-mentioned rainfall stations that are hit (stations within the identified area), for the remaining rainfall stations, with this station as the center, within a search radius of 20 km, if not identified, it is recorded as a missed detection once, and the number of stations is recorded as the number of missed detections (station spacing is 20 km). The rainfall level of the ground truth station belongs to which level is classified into that level, and the distance range to which the ground truth station is located is classified into that distance range.

[0072] With the identified point as the center, within 20 km, if there is no rainfall station with a rainfall of more than 20 mm / h within this area, then this identified point is recorded as a false alarm once; the number of false alarms + the number of hits = all identified points.

[0073] If the ground truth data uses minute-level precipitation data:

[0074] Time matching: The time of the short-duration heavy rainfall identification product should be consistent with the time of the minute-level precipitation data of the ground precipitation truth.

[0075] For example: The time of the short-duration heavy rainfall identification product is 03:18, and the time of the ground precipitation truth is 03:18 + 1 volume scan time, that is, 03:24, and the rainfall value is the cumulative rainfall within the past 1 hour at 03:24.

[0076] Among them, the distance classification for short-duration heavy rainfall: For the S-band, it is 0 - 50 km (<50 km), 50 - 100 km, 100 - 230 km (>100 km); for the C-band, it is 0 - 50 km (<50 km), 50 - 100 km, 100 - 150 km (>100 km). The classification for short-duration heavy rainfall is evaluated according to 20 - 49.9 mm / h, 50 - 69.9 mm / h, ≥70 mm / h.

[0077] 4) Tornado:

[0078] Time matching: Determine the "time window" when a tornado occurs based on the start time and end time of the tornado described in the real-time data or disaster investigation data. The determination method is as follows: at a certain location, taking the volume scan closest to the start time of the tornado as the reference, push forward 2 volume scan times as the start of the "true value" time window for tornado warning, and push backward 1 volume scan time as the end of the time window. If there is a real-time end time of the tornado, use the end time as the end of the "true value" time window for warning.

[0079] Spatial matching: After establishing the "true value" time window for tornado warning, adopt the point-to-face neighborhood test method. With the actual location of the tornado as the center, search for user warning information within a radius of 10 km for the tornado warning area, and conduct spatial matching between the actual tornado situation and the warning area. It is also possible to search for the user warning information within the range described in the real-time data or disaster investigation data for the actual occurrence range of the tornado for the tornado warning area, and conduct spatial matching between the actual tornado situation and the warning area. The tornado assessment distances are divided into two levels: 10 - 59 km and 60 - 100 km.

[0080] When there is user warning information for a tornado within a radius of 10 km centered on the actual location of the tornado, or when searching within the range described in the real-time data or disaster investigation data for the actual occurrence range of the tornado and there is user warning information for a tornado, it is rated as a hit; when there is no warning information, it is rated as a miss; if there is no actual tornado but there is user warning information for a tornado, it is rated as a false alarm.

[0081] Step 140, conduct quality assessment on the severe convective radar recognition product according to the spatio-temporal matching result.

[0082] In some embodiments, the quality of the strong convection radar identification product is evaluated according to the time-space matching result, including: determining the hit rate of the strong convection radar identification product according to the number of successful matches; and / or determining the missed alarm rate and false alarm rate of the strong convection radar identification product according to the number of failed matches; and / or determining the alarm time advance according to the earliest time of the occurrence of strong convection in real situation and the first alarm time of the strong convection radar identification product; and / or, performing a moving path deduction according to the moving direction and speed of the strong convection radar identification product that has been successfully matched, and judging whether the corresponding strong convection in real situation occurs in the moving path area; and determining the correctness of the moving path evaluation of the strong convection radar identification product according to the judgment result. Specifically, the number of hits, missed alarms and false alarms H, M, FA are counted, and finally the total hit rate (recognition rate), missed alarm rate, false alarm rate and critical success index (accuracy) are given. Evaluation of hail alarm time advance: For the case where both ground reality and radar identification have hail, at a certain location, take the body scan closest to the start time of the live hail as the benchmark, push forward 3 body scans, and push back 2 body scans as the "true value" of the hail time window. In this time window, search for the time when the live hail first starts within a radius of 20km where the ground hail occurs (it is possible that there will be two or more ground reports of hail within 20km. If there is only one ground report of hail, the start time of the ground report is used as the hail start time). Use this time to subtract the hail alarm time of the first user alarm information in the area to obtain the hail alarm time advance, and finally calculate the average advance alarm time based on the number of evaluation cases. Of course, the accuracy evaluation of the user alarm product should give the values ​​of each indicator at different distances, and the situation of different distance levels should be analyzed in detail during the analysis; the alarm time advance should give specific values; the moving path should give correct and incorrect results. Specifically, the quality assessment process of the user warning information products under four types of severe convective weather is as follows (it should be noted that the level of the individual case should be filled in):

[0083] 1) Hail: For the evaluation of individual cases, try to select hail cases that occur at different distances. Hail distance classification: S band 0-50km (<50km), 50-100km, 100-230km (>100km); C band 0-50km (<50km), 50-100km, 100-150km (>100km). After calculating the number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms for each hail case, and finding the corresponding hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy), fill in Table 1. If multiple radars are involved in the same case, they must also be listed, and then the total number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms is accumulated and counted, and the hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy) are calculated and filled in Table 2. Finally, according to the number of selected cases, the various indicators are calculated and filled in Table 3.

[0090]

[0091] 2) Thunderstorm gales: Graded evaluation is carried out according to wind speed levels. The wind speed levels are shown in Table 4, and the evaluation is carried out for levels 8 - 9, 10 - 11, and ≥12. Classification of thunderstorm gale distances: For S - band, 0 - 50 km (<50 km), 50 - 100 km, 100 - 230 km (>100 km); for C - band, 0 - 50 km (<50 km), 50 - 100 km, 100 - 150 km (>100 km).

[0093] Classification Wind speed (m / s) Grade 8 17.2≤V≤20.7 Grade 9 20.8≤V≤24.4 Grade 10 24.5≤V≤28.4 Grade 11 28.5≤V≤32.6 Grade 12 32.7≤V≤36.9 > Grade 12 V≥37.0

[0094] Calculate the probability of severe thunderstorm winds based on their characteristics, generate severe thunderstorm wind warning products, trigger a severe thunderstorm wind warning when the probability reaches 55%, and give the fitted warning area, its moving direction and speed. Time lead assessment: For cases where there are severe thunderstorm winds in both ground truth and radar identification, at a certain location, select the earliest time among the first occurrence time of the 2-minute average wind ≥ 16 m / s and the hour maximum wind occurrence time as the ground strong wind start time. Taking the volume scan closest to this time as the reference, push forward 3 volume scans and backward 2 volume scan times as the "true value" of the severe thunderstorm wind warning time window. Within this time window, search for the severe thunderstorm wind warning time of the first user warning information within a radius of 20 km from the ground strong wind occurrence location. Subtract the first severe thunderstorm wind warning time from the ground strong wind start time to obtain the severe thunderstorm wind warning lead time. Finally, calculate the average early warning time based on the number of evaluated cases. Severe thunderstorm wind moving path assessment: Extrapolate the severe thunderstorm wind warning area for 1 hour based on the moving direction and speed of the severe thunderstorm wind warning area. If severe thunderstorm winds occur within the moving path area, it is rated that the moving path of the severe thunderstorm wind warning is correct. The assessment of the severe thunderstorm wind moving path can adopt qualitative assessment. The accuracy assessment of severe thunderstorm winds should give the index values at different wind speed levels and different distances. When analyzing, the situations at different wind speed levels and different distance levels should be analyzed in detail; the warning time lead should give specific values; the moving path should give correct and incorrect results. Try to select severe thunderstorm wind cases at different wind speed levels and different distance levels for the selected cases. After calculating the number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms for each severe thunderstorm wind case and obtaining the corresponding hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate), fill them into Table 5. If there are multiple radars involved in the same case, they should also be listed, and then accumulate and count the total number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms, calculate the hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate), and fill them into Table 6. Finally, based on the number of selected cases, summarize and calculate each index and fill it into Table 7.

[0104] Distance classification of short-term heavy precipitation: S-band 0 - 50 km (<50 km), 50 - 100 km, 100 - 230 km (>100 km); C-band 0 - 50 km (<50 km), 50 - 100 km, 100 - 150 km (>100 km).

[0105] Rainfall grading for short-term heavy precipitation: It is graded and evaluated according to 20 - 49.9 mm / h, 50 - 69.9 mm / h, and ≥70 mm / h. For example, taking the level of 20 - 49.9 mm / h as an example, if there is a rain gauge station with a rainfall of 20 - 49.9 mm in one hour within the heavy precipitation warning area, it is rated as a hit; if there is no rain gauge station with a rainfall of 20 - 49.9 mm in one hour within the heavy precipitation warning area, it is rated as a false alarm; if the rain gauge station with a rainfall of 20 - 49.9 mm in one hour does not fall within the heavy precipitation warning area, it is rated as a missed alarm. Count the number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms, and calculate the hit rate (recognition rate), false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate). The short-term heavy precipitation warning product is generated based on the 1-hour precipitation OHP estimated by radar (product No. 169 is used for dual-polarization radar, and product No. 78 is used for single-polarization radar). If the continuous area with an estimated 1-hour precipitation ≥20 mm exceeds 30 km², a short-term heavy precipitation warning is triggered, and the fitted elliptical warning area, its moving direction, and speed are given. At a certain location, taking the volume scan closest to the first occurrence time of ground 1-hour precipitation ≥20 mm as the reference, 3 volume scan times are pushed forward and 2 volume scan times are pushed backward as the "true value" of the short-term heavy precipitation warning time window. Within this time window, search for the first heavy precipitation warning time within a radius of 20 km from the ground heavy precipitation occurrence location. Subtract the first user warning information heavy precipitation warning time from the first heavy precipitation actual occurrence time to obtain the heavy precipitation warning lead time. Finally, calculate the average lead warning time based on the number of evaluated cases. Extrapolate the heavy precipitation warning area by 1 hour according to the moving direction and speed of the heavy precipitation warning area. If heavy precipitation occurs within the moving path area, it is rated as the correct moving path of the heavy precipitation warning. The evaluation of the heavy precipitation moving path can adopt qualitative evaluation. The accuracy evaluation of the heavy precipitation warning product should give the index values at different precipitation levels and different distance levels. When analyzing, the situations at different precipitation levels and different distance levels should be analyzed in detail; the specific value of the warning time lead should be given; the correct and incorrect results of the moving path should be given. When selecting evaluated cases, try to select heavy precipitation cases at different precipitation levels and different distance levels; select 3 heavy precipitation cases per month. If there is no heavy precipitation weather, no evaluation is conducted. However, for radars in the western region with very few cases of ≥20 mm / h, the evaluation can be carried out according to the local heavy precipitation standard. After calculating the number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms for each heavy precipitation case and obtaining the corresponding hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate), fill them into Table 8. If multiple radars are involved in the same case, they should also be listed, and then the total number of hits, false alarms, and missed alarms should be accumulated and counted, and the hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate) should be calculated and filled into Table 9. Finally, according to the number of selected cases, summarize and calculate each index and fill it into Table 10.

[0114] 4) Tornado:

[0115] Taking into account the echo characteristics of tornado storms, multiple radar characteristic quantities, and the requirements for TVS identification, the tornado evaluation distance is divided into two levels: 10 - 59 km and 60 - 100 km. When there is a tornado alarm in the user alarm information within a 10 km radius centered on the actual location of the tornado, or when searching for tornado alarms in the user alarm information within the range described by the actual situation data or disaster investigation data for the actual occurrence range of the tornado, it is rated as a hit. When there is no alarm information, it is rated as a miss; if there is no tornado in the actual situation, but there is a tornado alarm in the user alarm information, it is rated as a false alarm. After counting the number of hits, false alarms, and misses for a certain tornado case, and calculating the corresponding hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate), fill them into Table 11. If multiple radars are involved for the same case, they should also be listed, and then the total number of hits, false alarms, and misses is accumulated and counted. After calculating the hit rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index (accuracy rate), fill them into Table 12. Finally, according to the number of tornado cases, summarize and calculate each index and fill it into Table 13.

[0122] The following are the relevant data (Table 14 - 20) on the evaluation results of user alarm information products for four types of severe convections: hail, thunderstorm gales, short-term heavy precipitation, and tornadoes:

[0136] In the above embodiments, the calculation formulas for the hit rate, miss rate, false alarm rate, and critical success index are as follows:

[0137] Hit rate:

[0138] Miss rate:

[0139] False alarm rate:

[0140] Critical success index:

[0141] Where: H, M, and FA respectively represent the number of hits, misses, and false alarms.

[0142] Therefore, in combination with the corresponding actual situation data, the probabilities of hits, misses, and false alarms can be accurately calculated. In addition, the problem of difficult to accurately evaluate the recognition lead due to the lag in data collection of the actual situation occurrence time is also solved. It has wide applicability and is simple and efficient.
