[0014] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0015] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0016] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a glacial lake temperature gradient measurement system is provided, comprising: a buoy 1, a steel wire rope 2, a plurality of temperature sensors 3, a counterweight 4, a surface temperature measurement module, an environmental meteorological measurement module and a data processing module. The surface temperature measurement module, the environmental meteorological measurement module and the data processing module are not shown in FIG. Figure 1 Shown in.

[0017] The buoy 1 is set on the water surface of the ice lake, the counterweight block 4 is set on the bottom of the ice lake, one end of the steel wire rope 2 is connected to the buoy 1, and the other end of the steel wire rope 2 is connected to the counterweight block 4. Multiple temperature sensors 3 are evenly spaced on the steel wire rope 2, and the surface temperature measurement module and the environmental meteorological measurement module are set inside the buoy 1.

[0018] The multiple temperature sensors 3 are used to measure the water temperature data of different water layers; the environmental meteorological measurement module is used to measure the environmental meteorological data (wind speed, atmospheric temperature and air pressure); and the surface temperature measurement module is used to measure the surface temperature data of the ice lake.

[0019] The data processing module is connected to the multiple temperature sensors 3, the ambient weather measurement module, and the surface temperature measurement module, and is used to measure the correlation between water body temperature data and ambient weather data using the Pearson correlation coefficient, and to quantify the impact of ambient weather data on water body temperature data and surface temperature data using a multivariate regression model. This allows a comprehensive understanding of the impact of environmental factors on water body temperature changes, further improving the reliability and scientific nature of data analysis.

[0020] In this embodiment, the buoy 1 is made of antifreeze material and has the characteristics of anti-freezing and anti-low temperature, ensuring that the buoy 1 is not easily damaged in an ice lake environment and can stably provide buoyancy.

[0021] In this embodiment, the steel wire rope 2 is made of corrosion-resistant and high-strength material to ensure that it will not break or corrode during long-term use in an underwater environment.

[0022] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 3 is a high-precision sensor, and each sensor is provided with an antifreeze protective cover to ensure normal operation in an extremely low temperature environment.

[0023] In this embodiment, the counterweight 4 is made of high-density material to ensure that the entire system is placed vertically and remains stable, thereby reducing the impact of environmental interference on the measurement data.

[0024] In this embodiment, the surfaces of buoy 1 and wire rope 2 are coated with special anti-icing materials and anti-freeze coatings to ensure that the system will not freeze or be damaged in freezing conditions. In addition, an anti-icing sleeve structure is added to wire rope 2 to effectively prevent ice from affecting sensor data collection and the stable operation of the entire measurement system.

[0025] In this embodiment, the environmental meteorological measurement module includes: a wind speed sensor for measuring wind speed, an atmospheric temperature sensor for measuring atmospheric temperature, and an air pressure sensor for measuring air pressure.

[0026] The glacial lake temperature gradient measurement system provided in this embodiment achieves long-term stable measurement through the vertical combination of a buoy 1 and a counterweight 4. The evenly spaced attachment of multiple temperature sensors 3 on the wire rope 4, along with its anti-freeze protection design, ensures overall structural stability and high-precision, continuous measurement in glacial lake environments.

[0027] The above-mentioned ice lake temperature gradient measurement system provided in this embodiment realizes stable, multi-level continuous monitoring of temperature gradients in the ice lake water body, solves the problems of easy equipment drift and inaccurate measurement data in traditional methods, and has the outstanding advantages of simple structure, strong anti-freezing ability, high stability, high measurement accuracy and reliable long-term monitoring.

[0028] The number and arrangement intervals of the temperature sensors 3 in the above-mentioned ice lake temperature gradient measurement system provided in this embodiment can be adjusted according to specific monitoring requirements; the materials of the buoy 1, wire rope 2 and counterweight 4 can also be appropriately adjusted according to the specific application scenario to further enhance the measurement stability.

[0029] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a method for measuring the temperature gradient of an ice lake, which is applied to the above-mentioned lake temperature gradient measurement system. Figure 2 As shown, the method for measuring the temperature gradient of a glacial lake includes the following steps.

[0030] S1: Obtain water temperature data of different water layers, environmental meteorological data and surface temperature data of glacial lakes.

[0031] S2: Use the Pearson correlation coefficient to measure the correlation between water temperature data and environmental meteorological data.

[0032] Pearson correlation coefficient It is used to measure the linear relationship between two variables. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0033] in, is the i-th measurement value of the water body temperature data, is the jth measurement value of the environmental meteorological data, 、 are the means of water temperature data and ambient meteorological data, respectively; N is the number of water temperature data measurements; and M is the number of ambient meteorological data measurements.

[0034] If r>0.8, it means that there is a strong positive correlation between the water body temperature data and the environmental meteorological data; if r<-0.8, it means that there is a strong negative correlation between the water body temperature data and the environmental meteorological data; if r is close to 0, it means that there is no linear relationship between the water body temperature data and the environmental meteorological data.

[0035] S3: Use a multivariate regression model to quantify the impact of environmental meteorological data on water body temperature data and surface temperature data.

[0036] Step S3 specifically includes the following steps.

[0037] (1) Pair each ambient meteorological data with surface temperature data or water body temperature data.

[0038] (2) Use regression analysis tools (such as the least squares method) to construct a multiple regression model:

[0039] in, is the surface temperature data or water body temperature data, is the wind speed, is the atmospheric temperature, is the air pressure, is a constant term, 、 、 are regression coefficients, is the error term.

[0040] (3) Use statistical software (such as Python's statsmodels or R's lm() function) to calculate the regression coefficient, that is, the contribution of each environmental meteorological data to the surface temperature data or water body temperature data.

[0041] (4) Model validation: Evaluate the R² value of the multiple regression model to determine the goodness of fit of the model. The higher the R² value, the better the model fits the data.

[0042] The glacial lake temperature gradient measurement method provided in this embodiment also includes: using an interpolation algorithm to interpolate water temperature data to construct a two-dimensional distribution diagram of the glacial lake water temperature profile. This more intuitively demonstrates the spatial variation of glacial lake temperature and improves data analysis and decision support capabilities.

[0043] Specifically, to create a two-dimensional schematic diagram of the water temperature profile, water temperature data at different depths can be interpolated to obtain a more detailed temperature distribution. For example, using kriging or inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation within a given depth interval, the predicted temperature value at each depth can be obtained. Using this interpolated data, a water temperature distribution map can be drawn to illustrate temperature variations at different depths, allowing analysis of the impact of different environmental meteorological data on temperature at each depth.

[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0045] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above examples is only intended to help understand the method and core concept of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, based on the concept of this application, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting this application.
