TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In recent years, global climate change has led to an increase in extreme rainfall events, making flood disasters caused by extreme rainfall increasingly frequent and their destructive power growing stronger, and they have become one of the natural disasters that cause the most deaths. These flood disasters usually have the characteristics of great intensity, wide range, and strong destructiveness, posing a serious threat to social and economic development and people's life and property safety.
[0003] China is one of the countries most severely affected by flood disasters. Due to the influence of complex terrain conditions (such as mountainous areas and plateaus) and monsoon climate, regional rainstorms and extreme rainfall events are particularly common. However, traditional rainfall monitoring methods mainly rely on observation data from ground hydrological stations and rain gauges. Given the vast territory and complex terrain of China, the existing rain gauge network has a relatively low distribution density, especially in remote areas such as mountainous areas and plateaus, where the sites are sparse, which directly leads to insufficient spatial representativeness of rainfall data, making it difficult to meet the needs of fine-scale runoff calculation.
[0004] Although meteorological radar technology can provide large-scale, high-temporal and high-spatial resolution rainfall monitoring data, there are still significant systematic biases in quantitative rainfall estimation based on radar reflectivity factor inversion of rainfall rate. These problems mainly include the influence of radar calibration errors, beam blocking, and changes in the phase state of precipitation particles, resulting in a large difference between radar-estimated rainfall and actual ground measurements. These problems limit the precise application of radar technology in the fields of flood forecasting and mountain flood warning.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0020] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the quantitative rainfall estimation method based on multi-source data correction of radar echo provided by the embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1 , specifically comprising: S1, collecting the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge in the target prediction area, elevation data, cross-section measured flow time series of the downstream hydrological station, measured radar reflectivity factor, soil moisture data and environmental attribute data; In the embodiments of the present disclosure, first, the measured rainfall data recorded by the rain gauges distributed in the target prediction area is obtained, the measured rainfall data is the cumulative rainfall or rainfall intensity of each time period (such as 5 minutes), which is used for subsequent collaborative Kriging interpolation and radar reflectivity factor correction; second, the digital elevation model (DEM) data of the target area is obtained, from which the elevation information of each radar sampling grid and the position of the rain gauge is extracted as an auxiliary variable in the collaborative Kriging interpolation, to reflect the influence of terrain on the spatial distribution of rainfall. Third, the cross-section measured flow time series observed by the hydrological station located downstream of the target area is collected, and the flow data is continuous time period flow record, which is used for subsequent simulation of the runoff process and calibration of the Z-R relationship parameter in the physically constrained hybrid neural network model.
[0021] The elevation data is obtained by digital elevation model (DEM), which is used to extract slope and elevation; at the same time, the meteorological radar observation data corresponding to the target area is obtained, including the measured radar reflectivity factor after preliminary quality control (such as denoising, ground object echo elimination, beam shielding correction, etc.), the spatial resolution can be 1km×1km, the time resolution can be 5, which is consistent with the time resolution of the measured rainfall data, as the main remote sensing input of quantitative rainfall inversion. In addition, the soil moisture data corresponding to each radar sampling grid in the target area is obtained, which can be obtained through remote sensing inversion product (such as SMAP, ASCAT) or land data assimilation system (such as GLDAS), which is used to reflect the influence of the underlying surface below the ground on the rainfall response. Finally, the environmental attribute data related to the radar sampling grid is collected, including but not limited to the surface slope (obtained by DEM calculation) and the soil Manning coefficient, which is used to construct the input features of the physically constrained hybrid neural network, and enhance the physical characterization ability of the model to the regional hydrological process.
[0022] All the above data need to be unified in space-time registration, unified to the same projection coordinate system, spatial resolution (based on radar grid) and time step, to ensure the matching of time stamp and spatial grid.
[0023] S2, based on the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge, the elevation data, the measured section measured flow time series of the downstream hydrological station, the measured radar reflectivity factor, the soil moisture data and the environmental attribute data, dynamically determining the Z-R relationship parameters of each radar sampling grid through a physically constrained hybrid neural network model.
[0024] In some embodiments, the S2 specifically comprises: S21, constructing a physically constrained hybrid neural network model, and inputting the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge, the elevation data, the section measured flow time series of the downstream hydrological station, the measured radar reflectivity factor, the soil moisture data and the environmental attribute data in the target prediction area; Specifically, the input environmental attribute data includes: surface slope, soil Manning coefficient.
[0025] S22, performing collaborative Kriging interpolation processing on the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge, and incorporating the elevation data as an auxiliary variable in the interpolation process to generate the corresponding rainfall estimation value of each radar sampling grid.
[0026] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to improve the accuracy of rainfall spatial interpolation, especially in areas with significant topographic relief, a collaborative Kriging (Cokriging) interpolation method considering the influence of terrain is adopted to interpolate the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge to all radar sampling grid points to generate a continuous gridded rainfall estimation field.
[0027] Specifically, first, the target area is divided into regular grids (such as 1km x 1km) consistent with the spatial resolution of radar data, and each grid center point is taken as a target position to be interpolated. The measured rainfall P(x i ) of each rain gauge position (i=1, 2, …, n, n is the total number of rain gauges) and the elevation value E(x i ) of the corresponding position are obtained, and the elevation value E(x0) of each radar sampling grid center point x0 is extracted, which is derived from a digital elevation model (DEM). The interpolation formula of the collaborative Kriging interpolation method is: ; Wherein, is the rainfall estimation value of the radar sampling grid x0, is the rainfall data of the i-th rain gauge, n is the total number of rain gauges; E(x0) is the elevation data of the radar sampling grid x0, and The weight coefficient of the cokriging (the weight coefficient of the cokriging is determined by solving a linear equation set under the structure of the covariance function, so that the unbiasedness and optimality conditions of the minimum estimation variance are met, and the cokriging interpolation process can be realized through a standard statistical algorithm). Finally, the interpolation method is applied to all radar sampling grids to generate a spatio-temporally matched gridded rainfall estimation field covering the entire target area. The rainfall estimation value not only integrates the real rainfall information of the ground observation, but also effectively reflects the influence of terrain uplift on the spatial distribution of precipitation by introducing the elevation covariant, especially significantly improving the interpolation accuracy in mountainous or complex terrain areas, providing high-quality, spatially continuous reference rainfall data for subsequent radar reflectivity factor correction and Z-R relationship parameter calibration.
[0028] S23, based on the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge station and the rainfall estimation value corresponding to each radar sampling grid, the Z-R relationship parameter corresponding to each radar sampling grid is initialized and pre-trained to predict the Z-R relationship parameter.
[0029] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, step S23 aims to initialize and pre-train the Z-R relationship parameters (i.e., parameters a and b) in the physical constraint hybrid neural network using multi-source observation information to provide reasonable initial parameter estimation and lay a foundation for subsequent joint optimization. Specifically: S231, the spatial features of the reflectivity factor time series data of the radar sampling grid are extracted through a convolutional layer.
[0030] That is, the radar reflectivity factor time series data in each radar sampling grid and its neighborhood range are organized as a two-dimensional spatial matrix (for example, centered on a 3x3 grid window), and input to a convolutional neural network (CNN) layer. By setting a convolution kernel with a size of 3x3, a step of 1, and a channel number of 32, local feature extraction of the reflectivity spatial distribution pattern is performed to capture the spatial structure and gradient change of the precipitation system. After convolution and activation function (such as ReLU) processing, a high-dimensional spatial feature vector H k corresponding to each radar sampling grid is output, which is used to represent the spatial organization characteristics of the current radar echo.
[0031] S232, the time series features of the reflectivity factor time series data of the radar sampling grid and the time series of the cross-section flow of the downstream hydrological station are extracted through an LSTM layer.
[0032] The historical time series of the reflectivity factor of each radar sampling grid and the historical time series of the measured flow of the downstream hydrological station are spliced into a joint input sequence and sent to a long short-term memory network (LSTM) layer. The LSTM unit effectively captures the nonlinear time series dependence relationship between the precipitation input and the basin response through a gating mechanism, and outputs the hidden state h tThe state encodes the dynamic evolution characteristics of the rainfall process and the potential influence on the hydrological response.
[0033] S233, calculating the concentration time based on the environmental attribute data of the radar sampling grid.
[0034] In some embodiments, based on the environmental attribute data obtained in step S1, including the surface slope of the radar sampling grid and the soil Manning coefficient determined by land use and soil type data, combined with the runoff path length extracted from the digital elevation model (DEM) (i.e. the shortest surface concentration distance from the radar sampling grid to the control section of the downstream hydrological station), the concentration time of the radar sampling grid is calculated using the hydrodynamic empirical formula , the specific calculation formula is: ; Where L k is the runoff length from radar sampling grid k to the downstream hydrological station, n k is the Manning coefficient of radar sampling grid k.
[0035] S234, inputting the spatial features, the time sequence features, the soil moisture and the concentration time into the fully connected layer to predict the Z-R relationship parameters.
[0036] The spatial feature vector H k of the sampling radar grid k extracted in S231, the LSTM hidden state h t obtained in S232, the soil moisture W k,t of the sampling radar grid k at the current time, and the concentration time T of the sampling radar grid k calculated in S233 are concatenated to form a comprehensive feature vector. This vector is input into the fully connected neural network (Fully Connected Layer), and after multiple layers of nonlinear transformation, the Z-R relationship parameters a k and b k corresponding to the radar sampling grid are finally output, a k and b k represent the Z-R relationship parameters corresponding to the kth radar sampling grid. To ensure the physical reasonableness of the parameters, the output layer uses a nonlinear activation function such as Softplus to ensure that the prediction results a k > 0, b k > 0.
[0037] In the initialization pre-training stage, the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge station and the grid rainfall estimation value generated in S22 are taken as the target true value, an mean square error loss function is constructed, the above network parameters are supervised training, and the preliminary spatialization estimation of the Z-R relationship parameters is realized. After the initialization pre-training of the Z-R relationship parameters is completed, the application further optimizes the parameters by introducing the hydrological physical process constraint, so as to improve the physical consistency and overall precision of the quantitative rainfall estimation.
[0038] S24, using the Z-R relationship parameters predicted in S23, the radar reflectivity factor of each radar sampling grid is quantitatively precipitated to obtain the quantitative rainfall estimation value of each radar sampling grid.
[0039] Based on the Z-R relationship parameters a k and b k predicted in S23, combined with the measured radar reflectivity factor Z k after preliminary quality control, the Z-R relationship formula is used for quantitative precipitation inversion of each radar sampling grid to obtain the quantitative rainfall estimation value R k of each radar sampling grid, and the specific formula is: .
[0040] S25, according to the quantitative rainfall estimation value of each radar sampling grid, a distributed runoff yield model is used for watershed surface confluence calculation to output the simulated flow of the downstream hydrological station section.
[0041] In this embodiment, the distributed runoff yield model is a grid-based Xin'anjiang model.
[0042] S26, according to the measured flow time series data of the downstream hydrological station section, the quantitative rainfall estimation value of each radar sampling grid and the simulated flow of the downstream hydrological station section, a loss function containing multiple physical constraint parameters is constructed.
[0043] In order to realize the dynamic optimization of the Z-R relationship parameters, a composite loss function integrating multiple physical constraints is constructed, which is used to measure the deviation between the model output and the observation data under the current parameter configuration.
[0044] The loss function containing multiple physical constraint parameters is: ; Wherein, represents the loss function containing multiple physical constraint parameters; Q obs represents the measured flow of the downstream hydrological station section; Q sim represents the simulated flow of the downstream hydrological station section; Z i represents the reflectivity factor of the i-th radar sampling grid; a i , bi parameters of the Z-R relationship of the i-th radar sampling grid; R i rainfall data of the i-th radar sampling grid calculated based on the Z-R relationship, S i grid area of the i-th radar sampling grid; a, β, γ are parameters of the loss function .
[0045] Further, the value range of a, β, γ is: , used to control the flow error weight; , used to constrain the consistency of Z-R relationship; , used to force water balance.
[0046] S27, dynamically determine the Z-R relationship parameters of each radar sampling grid through an iterative optimization process until the loss function containing multiple physical constraint parameters converges.
[0047] Embed the above loss function containing multiple physical constraint parameters into the overall training framework of the physical constraint hybrid neural network, and use the gradient back propagation algorithm to train the network parameters end-to-end. In each forward propagation, update the Z-R relationship parameters a k , b k , re-execute the quantitative precipitation retrieval and runoff yield simulation of S24 and S25, calculate the new simulated flow and evaluate the loss value; in the back propagation, the loss gradient is passed back to each layer of the network through the automatic differentiation mechanism, and the weights of CNN, LSTM and fully connected layer are adjusted step by step, so as to realize the joint optimization of the Z-R relationship parameters of each radar sampling grid.
[0048] The training process continues for multiple iteration periods until the loss function converges to a preset threshold or reaches a maximum number of iterations, at which time the obtained Z-R relationship parameter set is the optimal estimation result under the dual constraints of multi-source observation and physical process. The parameter set has good spatiotemporal adaptability and physical consistency, and can significantly improve the accuracy and reliability of radar quantitative precipitation estimation in complex basins.
[0049] S3, at each rain gauge location, calculate the radar reflectivity correction parameter of each radar sampling grid according to the measured rainfall data of the rain gauge at that location, the measured radar reflectivity factor and the Z-R relationship parameters of each radar sampling grid.
[0050] This step aims to use the calibrated Z-R relationship parameters and ground rain gauge observation data to finely correct the radar reflectivity factor to eliminate systematic bias and improve the accuracy of quantitative precipitation estimation. Specifically, it includes: S31, at each rain gauge position, according to the Z-R relationship parameters of each radar sampling grid and the measured rainfall data of each radar sampling grid corresponding to the rain gauge, the theoretical value of the radar reflectivity factor is calculated through the Z-R relationship; The Z-R relationship is: ; wherein Z is the theoretical value of the radar reflectivity factor, R is the rainfall data corresponding to the radar sampling grid; a, b are the Z-R relationship parameters of the radar sampling grid; At the spatial position of each rain gauge, one or more adjacent radar sampling grids corresponding to the rain gauge are identified (usually matched in the nearest neighbor or bilinear interpolation manner). For each matched radar sampling grid k, the Z-R relationship parameters a k and b k of the grid at the corresponding moment are obtained obs , and the measured rainfall intensity R theo observed by the rain gauge at the same time is obtained. Based on the Z-R relationship, the radar reflectivity factor Z that should be theoretically observed under the current rainfall data is calculated.
[0051] S32, according to the theoretical value of the radar reflectivity factor and the measured radar reflectivity factor, the radar reflectivity correction parameter of each radar sampling grid is calculated.
[0052] The radar reflectivity factor theoretical value Z theo calculated above is compared with the radar reflectivity factor Z obs actually observed by the radar at the same space-time position (which has been pre-processed such as ground object echo elimination and attenuation correction), the difference between the two is calculated, and then the radar reflectivity correction parameter E1 is determined, that is .

[0054] After the model training and parameter calibration are completed, the application enters the actual application stage, that is, based on the calibrated Z-R relationship parameters and radar reflectivity correction parameters, high-precision, near-real-time quantitative rainfall estimation of the target prediction area is realized.
[0055] In this embodiment, the S4 specifically includes: S41, real-time monitoring of the radar reflectivity of the target prediction area.
[0056] The real-time radar-based data of the target prediction area, including radar reflectivity factor, are continuously obtained through the meteorological radar data receiving system, with a time resolution of 5 minutes and a spatial resolution of 1 km x 1 km. The data are pre-processed, including ground echo filtering, non-meteorological echo identification, beam blocking compensation and attenuation correction, to ensure the reliability of the input data.

[0058] For each radar sampling grid k, the radar reflectivity correction parameter E1(k) corresponding to the radar sampling grid is determined by calling the physical constraint hybrid neural network model training stage (obtained by step S3). The radar reflectivity correction parameter reflects the comprehensive influence of radar system bias, local propagation attenuation and environmental interference and other factors.
[0059] The measured reflectivity Z obs (k) of the radar sampling grid k is corrected to generate the radar reflectivity Z coor (k) of the corrected radar sampling grid k, specifically: Z coor (k)=E1(k)×Z obs (k).
