[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0050] A tropical cyclone precipitation prediction diagnosis and evaluation method provided by the present application will be described below with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which comprises:

[0051] Step 101, according to the observed tropical cyclone path, the observed precipitation field and the precipitation field predicted by the numerical model are respectively cut with R as the radius, to obtain the observed precipitation field and the predicted precipitation field ;

[0052] This embodiment evaluates and diagnoses errors in tropical cyclone precipitation forecasts for a specific time period. A cumulative precipitation duration of 1 hour or 3 hours is preferred. If the user requires results for a longer time period, they can first process the 3-hour data and then overlay it onto the desired timeframe.

[0053] First, tropical cyclone data for a specific time period is acquired, including numerical model forecasts, cumulative precipitation observations, and the tropical cyclone positions at the start and end of that period. The observed cumulative precipitation data is interpolated to the same grid as the forecasts. The GFDL vortex tracking algorithm is used to obtain the model-predicted tropical cyclone paths, and the average observed and predicted tropical cyclone positions for that time period are calculated.

[0054] Observed and forecasted precipitation data were cropped separately based on the observed tropical cyclone path. The observed precipitation field... and forecast precipitation field Precipitation was extracted using the observed tropical cyclone location as the center and R as the radius, resulting in the observed precipitation field. and forecast precipitation field .

[0055] The specific method for extracting precipitation fields is as follows: if the distance between a grid point and the center of a tropical cyclone does not exceed the radius R, then the precipitation at that grid point is retained; otherwise, it is set as a missing value.

[0056] Preferably, the location of the tropical cyclone can be obtained from the best track data of tropical cyclones IBTRASC (International BestTrack Archive for Climate Stewardship), and the gridded precipitation data can be obtained from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) program, with R being 500 km or set according to the observed precipitation distribution range.

[0057] Step 102: Based on the offset between the tropical cyclone center predicted by the numerical model and the observed tropical cyclone center, adjust the predicted precipitation field. The forecast precipitation field is shifted, and precipitation is extracted from the shifted forecast precipitation field with the observed tropical cyclone center as the center and R as the radius, to obtain the path bias-removed forecast precipitation correction field. ;

[0058] The specific method for shifting the forecast precipitation field is as follows: calculate the offset of the forecast tropical cyclone center relative to the observed tropical cyclone center, spatially shift the latitude and longitude of the forecast precipitation field grid according to the offset, and interpolate the shifted precipitation field to the original grid to ensure the consistency of the verification grid.

[0059] Step 103: Adjust the forecast precipitation correction field based on the quantile mapping method the precipitation magnitude of the forecast precipitation adjustment field is consistent with the observed precipitation field, and the forecast precipitation adjustment field after removing the bias of the magnitude of the model is obtained ;

[0060] Based on the quantile mapping method, the precipitation magnitude of the forecast precipitation adjustment field is adjusted to the magnitude distribution of the observation, and the forecast precipitation adjustment field after removing the bias of the magnitude of the model is obtained . The use of the quantile mapping method eliminates the bias of the magnitude of the tropical cyclone precipitation and calculates the evaluation index improvement amount after adjusting the magnitude bias.

[0061] Step 104, the observed precipitation field in the polar coordinate system and the forecast precipitation adjustment field are respectively azimuthally averaged to obtain radial precipitation distribution profiles, and the forecast precipitation adjustment field is adjusted according to the ratio of the radial precipitation distribution profiles of the two, to obtain the forecast precipitation adjustment field , which is interpolated back to the original latitude and longitude grid coordinates to obtain the radial distribution adjusted forecast precipitation adjustment field ;

[0062] The forecast precipitation adjustment field and the observation field are established in a polar coordinate system with the center of the observed tropical cyclone as the origin. The radial resolution of the polar coordinate system is set to be the same as the grid resolution of the forecast field at the origin, and gradually transitions to a coarse resolution along the radial direction to the periphery, to obtain the forecast precipitation adjustment field and the observation field in the polar coordinate system. Preferably, the azimuthal resolution of the polar coordinate system is set to 2.5 degrees.

[0063] Step 105, the azimuthal 1-wave asymmetric components of the observed precipitation field and the forecast precipitation adjustment field in the polar coordinate system are respectively calculated, and the forecast precipitation adjustment field is rotated according to the offset angle between the azimuth angles at which the maximum values of the azimuthal 1-wave asymmetric components of the two in each radial direction are located, to obtain the forecast precipitation adjustment field , which is interpolated back to the original latitude and longitude grid coordinates to obtain the azimuthally asymmetrically structured adjusted forecast precipitation adjustment field ;

[0064] The observed precipitation field and the forecast precipitation adjustment field in the polar coordinate system are converted to frequency space using Fourier transform, the 1-wave component is retained, and then converted back to the time domain through inverse transform to obtain the azimuthal 1-wave asymmetric component fields of the observed and forecast fields in the polar coordinate system and .

[0065] Finding the azimuthal position of the maximum of the 1-wave asymmetric component in each radial and Calculating the error of the azimuthal position of the maximum of the observed field and the azimuthal position of the maximum of the forecast field in each radial .

[0066] Rotating the forecast field according to the azimuthal error in each radial to obtain the azimuthally distributed corrected precipitation forecast field , and interpolating it back to the original latitude-longitude grid to obtain the precipitation field corrected for the error of the asymmetric distribution of precipitation .

[0067] Step 106, calculating the evaluation index of the forecast precipitation field and the corrected forecast precipitation field after each correction , , and According to the change in the evaluation index after each correction, the contribution value of the associated factor of each correction to the precipitation forecast error is obtained.

[0068] This embodiment eliminates the position, magnitude, and structure errors step by step and calculates the evaluation index improvement value, which specifically includes the spatial deviation related to the path of the tropical cyclone precipitation forecast, the magnitude deviation related to the systematic deviation of the model, the radial distribution deviation related to the radial structure of the model precipitation, and the azimuthal deviation related to the asymmetric precipitation.

[0069] This embodiment eliminates the position, magnitude, and structure errors of the forecast precipitation field step by step and calculates the evaluation index improvement value before and after each correction, thereby obtaining the contribution of the tropical cyclone path forecast error, the systematic deviation of the model precipitation intensity, the radial precipitation structure forecast error, and the asymmetric precipitation structure forecast error to the total precipitation forecast error. Compared with the commonly used CRA or MODE verification method, the tropical cyclone precipitation forecast verification evaluation is more targeted and interpretable, the physical meaning is more explicit, it is helpful for the forecasters to interpret the forecast and the model developers to improve the model, and it can provide strong support for real-time error analysis and correction of tropical cyclone precipitation forecast.

[0070] On the basis of the above embodiment, the forecast precipitation correction field is adjusted according to the ratio of the radial precipitation distribution profiles of the two in this embodiment, to obtain the forecast precipitation correction field , which includes:

[0074] multiplying the forecast corrected field in polar coordinates by the ratio of the distribution profiles to obtain a forecast corrected field of the radial deviation of azimuthally averaged radial precipitation distribution, i.e. interpolating the forecast corrected field back to the original latitude-longitude grid coordinates to obtain a forecast corrected field .

[0075] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, before azimuthally averaging the observed precipitation field in polar coordinates and the forecast corrected precipitation field to obtain radial precipitation distribution profiles, the present embodiment further comprises:

[0076] interpolating the observed precipitation field and the forecast corrected precipitation field to a polar coordinate system with the observed tropical cyclone center as the origin and R as the radius.

[0077] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the radial resolution of the polar coordinate system in the present embodiment is the same as the grid spacing at the origin and gradually coarsens along the radial direction to the periphery.

[0078] When constructing the polar coordinates of precipitation, a gradually coarsening radial resolution is set to make the construction of the 1-wave asymmetric component and the azimuthal rotation process more robust.

[0079] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the present embodiment calculates an evaluation index of the forecast precipitation field and the forecast corrected precipitation field after each correction, and according to the change amount of the evaluation index after each correction, obtains the contribution value of the associated factor of each correction to the precipitation forecast error, comprising:

[0092] On the basis of each of the above embodiments, the present embodiment further comprises:

[0093] The difference between 1 and is taken as the unexplained residual error.

[0094] The unexplained residual error is calculated.

[0095] For example, taking the 3 h cumulative precipitation of a super typhoon from 05 to 08 (UTC) on July 28, 2023 as an example. Numerical model prediction data can be obtained from a certain weather forecast center, and tropical cyclone position data can be obtained from the tropical cyclone best path data IBTrACS, with a time resolution of 3 h. Tropical cyclone cumulative precipitation data can be obtained from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM), with a time resolution of 30 min, and the corresponding period of precipitation is downloaded to obtain 3 h cumulative precipitation.

[0096] Using the 500 hPa potential height, 700 hPa and 850 hPa wind field, sea level pressure and 10 m wind field data predicted by the numerical model, the GFDL vortex tracking algorithm is used to calculate the predicted tropical cyclone center position and intensity information at 05 and 08 on the 28th, as shown in Table 1.

[0097] Table 1

[0098]

[0099] The average of the observed tropical cyclone positions at 05 and 08 is taken as the center of the observed tropical cyclone cumulative precipitation for the period, and the average of the predicted tropical cyclone positions at 05 and 08 is taken as the center of the predicted tropical cyclone cumulative precipitation for the period. The observed cumulative precipitation is interpolated to the predicted grid using nearest neighbor interpolation for evaluation, as shown in part a of Figure 3 .

[0100] The error of the predicted tropical cyclone center relative to the observed center is calculated, and the longitude and latitude of the predicted precipitation grid field (part b of Figure 3 ) are subtracted by the error to obtain the moved longitude and latitude, and then interpolated back to the original grid longitude and latitude, completing the spatial translation of the predicted precipitation field, thereby correcting the precipitation prediction error caused by the tropical cyclone path error, as shown in part c of Figure 3 .

[0101] The observed, forecast, and track error-corrected forecast fields are interpolated into a polar coordinate system centered on the observed tropical cyclone with a radius of 5 latitudes (the radial resolution of the polar coordinate system is set to the model grid resolution at the origin, gradually becoming coarser outwards, and can be set to 4 times the origin at the edge; the azimuth resolution can be set to 2.5°).

[0102] The observed, forecast, and longitude error-corrected forecast fields in the polar coordinate system are re-interpolated back to the model's latitude and longitude grid, such as... Figure 3 The d and f parts in the data are used to obtain the observed precipitation field for verification. Forecast precipitation field And the predicted precipitation correction field after path error correction The SSIM scores for the numerical model forecast and the observed field after longitude path error correction are calculated separately in the latitude and longitude grid, and denoted as follows: and See rating Figure 3 The numerical values ​​indicated in the headings of sections e and f.

( Figure 3 The azimuth average of the g-part in the image is used to obtain the radial distribution profile of axisymmetric precipitation in the observed and corrected field. and The ratio of the observed profile to the corrected field profile is calculated as the radial distribution correction coefficient. ,like Figure 5 .

[0105] The revised precipitation forecast field after path correction and quantile mapping ( Figure 3The g part in the equation is multiplied by the corresponding radial distribution correction factor in each radial direction. The forecast correction field was obtained, which corrected the deviation of the azimuth mean radial precipitation distribution. The forecast will be revised. Interpolating back to the original latitude and longitude grid coordinates yields the revised forecast precipitation field after adjustment for axisymmetric radial distribution. ,like Figure 3 For the h part, the adjusted forecast field and the observed SSIM score are also calculated, denoted as The scoring results are shown below. Figure 3 The value indicated in the heading of the h section.

[0106] The observed precipitation and the previously corrected forecast precipitation fields in polar coordinates are transformed to the frequency domain using a real Fourier transform. All wavenumber components except the 1-wave component are removed. Then, an inverse real Fourier transform is performed to transform them back to the time domain in polar coordinates, resulting in the 1-wave asymmetric component fields of the observed and numerical model correction fields. and ,like Figure 6 Parts a and b are shown in the figure.

[0107] Calculate the azimuth maximum index in each radial direction for the observed and numerical model correction field's one-wave asymmetric component field in polar coordinates. Subtract the azimuth maximum index of the numerical model correction field from the observed azimuth maximum index to obtain the azimuth error characterized by grid offset. .

[0108] The numerical model correction field and its one-wave component in polar coordinates are adjusted in each radial direction according to the corresponding azimuth error. Rotation yields the revised precipitation field after removing the first-wave asymmetric structure error and its first-wave component, as follows: Figure 6 The f and c parts are shown in the diagram. To verify that the center of the asymmetric component of wave 1 has been adjusted to match the observation, the SSIM scores of the adjusted forecast and observation fields are calculated and denoted as... The scoring results are shown below. Figure 3 The numerical values ​​indicated in the heading of section i. Figure 6 The d and e parts in the figure are the observation fields. And the revised forecast .

[0109] After the above multi-step correction, the numerical model precipitation forecast deviation can be obviously eliminated, and the SSIM score of each step of correction can be obtained, including the numerical model original precipitation score SSIM0, the tropical cyclone path forecast error removal score SSIM1, the superimposed removal of the model precipitation intensity systematic deviation score SSIM2, the superimposed removal of the axisymmetric radial precipitation structure forecast error score SSIM3, and the superimposed removal of the asymmetric precipitation structure forecast error SSIM4.

Rotate to obtain the forecast precipitation correction field. Interpolate it back to the original latitude and longitude grid coordinates to obtain the forecast precipitation correction field with azimuth asymmetric structure adjustment. ;
