Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tropical cyclone dynamics and numerical diagnostics technology, and relates to the objective calculation and path analysis of typhoon ventilation flow. Specifically, it is an adaptive calculation method and system for typhoon ventilation flow based on the maximum probability feature and overcoming radius sensitivity. It is used to robustly extract ventilation flow vectors in scenarios such as weak guidance, near-land and strong asymmetry, correct guiding airflow and support path judgment and operational integration. Background Technology
[0002] Tropical cyclones (TCs), as highly destructive weather systems, have long been a key focus in weather dynamics research and operational forecasting due to their track changes and interactions with atmospheric circulation. During typhoon movement, the external steering flow is typically considered the primary driving force determining its large-scale translational direction. However, actual observations reveal a systematic deviation between the typhoon's movement direction and the steering flow vector, particularly pronounced in weak steering flow backgrounds, areas with significant beta effects, and near land boundaries. Previous studies have indicated that this deviation is related to the asymmetric circulation structure formed by the interaction between the typhoon vortex itself and the geostrophic potential vorticity gradient (i.e., the beta surface effect). This is characterized by an approximately ventilatory channel that runs through the cyclone's center and between the typhoon's central region and the beta vortex pair. This airflow not only affects the typhoon's motion relative to the environmental field but also influences its precipitation distribution and intensity maintenance.
[0003] With the development of reanalysis data, high spatiotemporal resolution satellite observations, and large eddy simulation (LES) techniques, the importance of ventilation flow in typhoon track forecasting, uncertainty assessment, and dynamic diagnosis has gradually gained attention. Through theoretical analysis, ideal numerical experiments, and case studies, it has been found that the direction of ventilation flow is strongly correlated with the actual movement direction of the typhoon, especially for slow-moving typhoons or those in the pre-landfall phase near the coast. Therefore, constructing objective and standardized ventilation flow diagnostic parameters is of great significance for improving track forecast accuracy, explaining model biases, and identifying the interaction mechanism between large-scale steering fields and vortex β-drift.
[0004] However, existing research still has the following major problems: (1) Although ventilation flow has been theoretically defined, there is a lack of unified calculation and diagnostic standards. Different literatures have large differences in wind field selection range, coordinate transformation method, signal extraction strategy, etc., making it difficult to compare the calculation results between different studies; (2) Existing ventilation flow diagnostic results are highly sensitive to the selected radial integration range. The ventilation flow direction, intensity, and even direction type obtained under different radii may be significantly different, making it difficult to use ventilation flow as a stable physical quantity for quantitative analysis; (3) Under conditions of proximity to land, gradient wind structure destruction, or strong environmental shear, typhoon wind fields exhibit obvious non-axisymmetric characteristics, and traditional radial averaging or simplified wind field processing methods are prone to introducing significant errors; (4) Although the concept of ventilation flow has been gradually introduced into path forecasting models and path deviation analysis, there is a lack of robust algorithms that can be automatically processed, making it difficult to achieve operational promotion.
[0005] In summary, existing ventilation flow calculation methods suffer from low standardization, high sensitivity to radius, and subjective parameter selection, making it difficult to reliably and quantitatively integrate this key physical factor into typhoon track forecasting models. Therefore, developing an adaptive ventilation flow calculation method with reliable physical basis, applicable to various typhoon environmental fields, and effectively mitigating radial dependence has become a pressing technical challenge for improving typhoon track prediction accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0006] (a) Purpose of the invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the aforementioned defects and shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an adaptive calculation method and system for typhoon ventilation flow based on maximum probability characteristics and overcoming radius sensitivity. This is achieved by establishing a standardized ventilation flow diagnosis process and an adaptive optimization mechanism based on maximizing the radius-wind direction two-dimensional probability distribution, thereby fundamentally reducing the dependence on radius. Based on wind field preprocessing, coordinate transformation, and first-order harmonic extraction, probabilistic binning statistics are introduced to identify high-consistency flow direction intervals, and within these intervals, robust averaging of zonal / meridian wind volumes yields the ventilation flow vector. This improves the stability and repeatability of the calculation results under key conditions such as weak guidance and near-land asymmetric enhancement, providing an objective quantity that can be automatically integrated for path analysis and guidance airflow correction.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the objective of this invention and solve its technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0010] The first objective of this invention is to provide an adaptive calculation method for typhoon ventilation flow based on maximum probability characteristics and overcoming radius sensitivity. This method is used to robustly extract and quantitatively estimate typhoon ventilation flow in horizontal wind fields from reanalysis data or numerical weather prediction data, improving the computational stability and physical representativeness under different case and data conditions. The method includes at least the following steps:
[0011] S100. Typhoon Center Location and Relative Wind Field Construction: Based on meteorological reanalysis data or numerical forecast data, determine the latitude and longitude geographical location parameters of the typhoon center at the target time, and extract the horizontal wind field data covering the typhoon's influence area with the typhoon center as the center; determine and subtract the typhoon's translational velocity at the target time from the horizontal wind field to obtain the relative wind field in the stationary coordinate system relative to the typhoon's movement.
[0012] S200. Coordinate Transformation and First Harmonic Decomposition: A polar coordinate system with the typhoon center as the origin is established. The zonal wind component u and meridional wind component v in the relative wind field data are converted into tangential wind speed Vt and radial wind speed Vr relative to the typhoon center. At each radial radius r position, first-order Fourier harmonic extraction is performed on Vt and Vr along the azimuth angle λ to obtain the corresponding first-order harmonic component Vt1 of the tangential wind speed and the first-order harmonic component Vr1 of the radial wind speed, which are used to characterize the asymmetric circulation characteristics caused by the typhoon β drift effect. Then, the first-order harmonic components Vt1 and Vr1 are inversely transformed to a rectangular coordinate system to obtain the corresponding first-order zonal wind component u1 and meridional wind component v1, forming the horizontal wind field after asymmetric signal enhancement.
[0013] S300. Probabilistic Binning Modeling and Radius-Wind Direction Probability Distribution Construction: In a first-order horizontal wind field (u1, v1), the radius r is grouped according to a preset radial binning interval Δr, and the wind direction α is grouped according to a preset wind direction binning interval Δα, discretizing the analysis domain into (r, α) two-dimensional bins; within each two-dimensional bin i, the instantaneous wind direction α is calculated based on u1 and v1. i And its frequency of occurrence is statistically analyzed, combined with the speed threshold v. min After removing low-wind-speed or abnormal samples, a two-dimensional joint probability distribution P(r,α) of radius and wind direction is constructed and normalized to quantify the consistency and concentration of wind direction at different radial points.
[0014] S400. Maximum Probability Feature Recognition and Adaptive Optimization: On the two-dimensional joint probability distribution space P(r,α), search for features that satisfy the condition N ≥ N. min Consistency index with direction C≥C min A set of highly consistent connected regions, N min C is the lower limit of the number of valid samples within a connected region. minTo establish a directional consistency threshold, the connected interval Ω with the highest probability is determined as the dominant ventilation flow region. Ω is composed of several adjacent (r, α) sub-bins, and its determination process does not depend on a fixed radius value, thereby achieving data-driven adaptive radius selection. This is further demonstrated by N... min With C min The constraints suppress the sensitivity of the results caused by empirical radius setting, low wind speed noise and / or insufficient sample size;
[0015] S500. Robust estimation and quality control of ventilation flow vectors: Robust statistical estimation is performed on the first-order zonal and meridional wind components within Ω to obtain the corresponding zonal and meridional components u of the ventilation flow. v v v Based on this, the ventilation flow vector V is formed. v =(u v ,v v ) and its direction α v With modulus |V v Robust statistics employ weighted averages, truncated averages, or medians that resist outlier estimations to suppress the influence of residual outliers, while simultaneously calculating the quality index Q. v Quantitatively estimate credibility;
[0016] S600. Result Output and Constraint Determination: Output ventilation flow vector V v Direction α v Modulus | V v |;When Q v Below the preset threshold or Ω does not meet N min and C min When constraints are applied, a result rejection or uncertainty flag is triggered to ensure the stability and reproducibility of the results under weak guidance, near-land, and strong asymmetric conditions.
[0017] The second objective of this invention is to provide an adaptive calculation system for typhoon ventilation flow, which utilizes the aforementioned adaptive calculation method for typhoon ventilation flow based on maximum probability characteristics and overcoming radius sensitivity, and includes at least the following modules:
[0018] The data acquisition and preprocessing module is used to receive meteorological reanalysis data or numerical forecast data, locate the typhoon center at the target time and extract horizontal wind field data covering the typhoon's influence range, estimate the typhoon's translation speed and subtract it from the wind field to form a relative wind field.
[0019] The coordinate transformation and harmonic decomposition module is used to convert the zonal and meridional wind components u and v in the relative wind field into tangential wind speed Vt and radial wind speed Vr relative to the typhoon center, and extract the first harmonic of each radial r along the azimuth angle λ to obtain Vt1 and Vr1. Then, the inverse transformation is used to obtain the first horizontal wind u1 and v1, forming a wind field after asymmetric signal enhancement.
[0020] The probability distribution construction module is used to discretize the (u1,v1) field into two-dimensional bins according to preset radial intervals Δr and wind direction intervals Δα, calculate the frequency of wind direction occurrence in each bin, and combine it with the velocity threshold v. min After removing low-wind-speed or abnormal samples, the radius-wind-direction two-dimensional joint probability distribution P(r,α) is obtained by normalization.
[0021] The adaptive parameter identification module is used to search for highly consistent connected regions in P(r,α) that satisfy the constraints of sample size and direction consistency. The connected interval Ω with the highest probability and satisfying the constraints is determined as the dominant ventilation flow region, which is used to adaptively determine the representative radial direction and the dominant wind direction to avoid fixed radius dependence.
[0022] The ventilation flow calculation and quality assessment module is used to perform robust aggregation of u1 and v1 within the dominant ventilation flow region Ω to obtain the ventilation flow vector V. v =(u v ,v v ), direction α v With modulus |V v |and generate quality index Q v ;
[0023] The result verification and output control module is used to output V. v α v 、|V v |, when Q v Below the preset threshold or Ω does not meet N min and C min When constraints are applied, a result rejection or uncertainty warning flag is triggered.
[0024] (III) Technical Effects
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the adaptive calculation method and system for typhoon ventilation flow based on the maximum probability feature and overcoming radius sensitivity of the present invention has the following beneficial and significant technical effects:
[0026] (1) This invention replaces the empirically fixed radius with the maximum probability connected region Ω of the radius-wind direction joint probability distribution P(r,α), realizing adaptive positioning and aggregation of ventilation channels in the relative wind field after Fourier first harmonic enhancement, thereby fundamentally eliminating the structural sensitivity of traditional methods to radius selection. Compared with fixed radius averaging, this strategy significantly reduces directional deviation and amplitude drift in asymmetric scenarios dominated by β vortex pairs, improving the stability and repeatability of the results.
[0027] (2) This invention significantly improves the stability of ventilation flow calculation results. Through multiple quality control mechanisms such as probability threshold constraints, connectivity checks, and directional consistency verification, it effectively avoids interference from the minimal wind area in the typhoon eye and the main structure area of the β-vortex, and accurately extracts the ventilation flow characteristics between β-vortex pairs. Taking Typhoon No. 2 in 2021 as an example, the ventilation flow calculated by the method of this invention shows a high degree of consistency with the actual movement trajectory of the typhoon, with a directional deviation of less than 5°; while the directional deviation of the traditional method can reach 23° under different radii. Statistical analysis of 30 years of typhoon samples shows that the method of this invention reduces the average deviation between the ventilation flow and the actual movement direction by about 35%, and the calculation quality index generally reaches a high quality level of 0.8 or above.
[0028] (3) Traditional methods, due to computational fuzziness and radius sensitivity, have prevented ventilation flow, despite its significant theoretical importance, from being applied to operational forecasting for a long time. This invention, through a clear standardized calculation process, adaptive parameter selection, and quantitative uncertainty assessment, transforms ventilation flow calculation from a qualitative concept into an operational quantitative method. Especially in scenarios where the guiding airflow effect is weakened, such as when typhoons move slowly, are close to land, and exhibit strong asymmetry, the importance of ventilation flow increases significantly, demonstrating significant application value.

[0037] This invention aims to provide an adaptive calculation method and system for typhoon ventilation flow based on maximum probability characteristics and overcoming radius sensitivity. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this invention, and are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the invention.
[0038] Example 1: Adaptive Calculation Method for Typhoon Ventilation Flow
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of the present invention, an adaptive calculation method for typhoon ventilation flow based on maximum probability characteristics and overcoming radius sensitivity is used to robustly extract and quantitatively estimate typhoon ventilation flow in horizontal wind fields of reanalysis data or numerical weather prediction data, improving the calculation stability and physical representativeness under different case and data conditions. The calculation method mainly includes the following steps in its implementation:
[0040] S100. Typhoon Center Location and Relative Wind Field Construction:
[0041] Based on meteorological reanalysis data or numerical weather prediction data, the latitude and longitude geographical location parameters of the typhoon center at the target time are determined, and horizontal wind field data covering the typhoon's influence area with the typhoon center as the center are extracted. The typhoon's translational velocity at the target time is determined and subtracted from the horizontal wind field to obtain the relative wind field in the stationary coordinate system relative to the typhoon's movement. As a preferred method, the typhoon center location is determined by a comprehensive multi-indicator judgment: the minimum sea level pressure and the maximum relative vorticity at 850 hPa are used as the main criteria, combined with the consistency check of the low-level convergence center and the radius of the maximum axisymmetric wind speed. When the multi-indicator location results are consistent within 0.5°, a weighted centroid average is used; when the location deviation exceeds 0.5°, the center with consistent low-level relative vorticity and divergence coupling indices is selected first. When the center location is inconsistent, a center with consistent lower-level relative vorticity and divergence coupling indices is selected to ensure the stability and physical representativeness of subsequent polar coordinate transformation. The typhoon translational velocity vector is obtained by least-squares linear fitting of the typhoon center position in adjacent time intervals. The fitting time window is 3-6 hours before and after, and consistency is checked with the potential vortex centroid tracking results. When the angle between the two exceeds a threshold (e.g., 30°), the translational velocity is adjusted by ensemble averaging, and the weight coefficients are dynamically allocated based on the historical consistency of each estimation method.
[0042] After determining the location of the typhoon center, the interception space of the horizontal wind field is adaptively set: outer radius R winThe values are taken from latitude and longitude of 6°~12° or 1.2~1.8 times the isobaric closure radius, with the specific value determined based on the typhoon intensity level and latitude. Larger values are used for strong or super typhoons, and smaller values are used for tropical storms, ensuring a complete spatial structure covering the β-vortex pair and its transition zone; inner shielding radius R in Based on the radius characteristics of weak winds and high gradient areas in the typhoon eye, a value of 0.5° to 1.0° is used, with a smaller value used when the eye is clear and the eyewall is obvious, and a larger value used when the eye is blurry or filled, in order to suppress eye interference. For the horizontal wind field, bilinear or higher-order conformal interpolation is used to complete the regular gridding, with an interpolation grid spacing of 0.1° to 0.25°, ensuring that the number of radial sampling points is not less than 30 and the number of azimuth sampling points is not less than 72. Missing data masks and outlier threshold detection are used. The outlier threshold is defined as 3 times the standard deviation of the local climate average or the absolute value of the wind speed exceeding 80 m / s. Samples with non-physical abrupt changes caused by topography or land surface are removed. For times when the proportion of missing data areas exceeds 20%, the data quality is marked as unqualified and a warning is triggered to ensure the continuity and consistency of the input wind field.
[0043] S200. Coordinate Transformation and First Harmonic Decomposition:
[0044] A polar coordinate system with the typhoon center as the origin is established. The zonal wind component u and meridional wind component v in the relative wind field data are converted into tangential wind speed Vt and radial wind speed Vr relative to the typhoon center. The conversion relationship is Vt = -u·sinλ + v·cosλ, Vr = u·cosλ + v·sinλ, where λ is the azimuth angle. At each radial radius r, first-order Fourier harmonic extraction is performed on Vt and Vr along the azimuth angle λ. The harmonic extraction uses the fast Fourier transform algorithm, retaining only the wavenumber k=1. The components are used to obtain the first harmonic component of tangential wind speed Vt1 and the first harmonic component of radial wind speed Vr1, which are used to characterize the asymmetric circulation characteristics caused by the typhoon β drift effect. Then, the first harmonic components Vt1 and Vr1 are inversely transformed to a rectangular coordinate system. The inverse transformation relationship is u1=-Vt1·sinλ+Vr1·cosλ, v1=Vt1·cosλ+Vr1·sinλ, to obtain the corresponding first zonal wind component u1 and meridional wind component v1, forming the horizontal wind field after asymmetric signal enhancement.
[0045] As a preferred method, the polar coordinate transformation employs subgrid interpolation and angular consistency constraints in space: firstly, the relative wind field is resampled to a uniform r-λ grid with the typhoon center as the pole using bicubic interpolation to preserve energy. The radial resolution Δr and azimuth resolution Δλ are adaptively set according to the wind field spatial resolution and the typhoon wind circle scale, respectively. Δr is taken as 0.5 to 1.0 times the horizontal resolution of the original data, and Δλ is taken as 5° to ensure that there are no less than 72 sampling points in the azimuth direction. When extracting the first harmonics, bandpass filtering is applied to Vr and Vt along the λ direction to suppress higher-order noise. The bandpass filtering retains components in the wavenumber range of k=0.5 to 2. The filter uses a Hanning window or Butterworth filter. The harmonic fitting uses weighted least squares, with the weights inversely proportional to the local wind speed modulus and the observation error. The observation error is set according to the data type. The reanalyzed data is taken as 1 to 2 m / s, and the numerical forecast data is taken as 2 to 4 m / s, thus robustly obtaining the first harmonic components Vt1 and Vr1. When the variance interpretation of the first harmonics is lower than the preset threshold η, min When the value is 0.3 to 0.5, the radial sample points are marked as low-confidence samples and do not participate in subsequent probability statistics.
[0046] Furthermore, the inverse transform of the first harmonic components satisfies both geometric and energy consistency constraints: after restoring Vt1 and Vr1 to u1 and v1 by orthogonal transformation, it is required that the dominant rotation direction with the same sign as the original relative wind field be maintained within the local annulus, and the ratio of the harmonic energies of |u1| and |v1| relative to the original field lies in the interval [0.7, 1.3]. The energy ratio is defined as (u1... 2 +v1 2 ) / (u 2 +v 2 The integral ratio of the corresponding harmonic components; if it is not satisfied, local refitting and endpoint smoothing are triggered. Endpoint smoothing adopts three-point moving average or spline smoothing. The smoothing window width is 3 to 5 grid points to reduce the cumulative impact of inverse transform error on subsequent probability estimation.
[0047] In addition, for local anomalies caused by heavy precipitation or topography, anomaly removal and missing data filling mechanisms are set up: Mahalanobis distance and robust z-score are calculated for the angular sequences of Vr and Vt on a fixed r. The Mahalanobis distance is calculated based on the two-dimensional distribution covariance matrix of wind speed. The robust z-score is standardized using the median and median absolute deviation. λ positions exceeding the threshold (e.g., Mahalanobis distance > 3 or robust z-score > 3) are marked as anomalies and removed from harmonic fitting. When the proportion of effective angular samples on a certain r is lower than a set lower limit (e.g., 60%), radial extrapolation is performed using the harmonic coefficients of the nearest radius. The extrapolation uses first-order recursion and limits coefficient drift with a Bayesian regularization term. The regularization term parameter λr eg We take 0.1 to 0.3 and constrain the radial rate of change of the harmonic coefficients with the L2 norm to ensure the continuity and energy conservation during the inverse transformation of u1 and v1.
[0048] S300. Probabilistic binning modeling and radius-wind direction probability distribution construction:
[0049] In a first-order horizontal wind field (u1, v1), the radius r is grouped according to a preset radial binning interval Δr, and the wind direction α is grouped according to a preset wind direction binning interval Δα. The analysis domain is discretized into two-dimensional bins (r, α), with a total of N bins. bins =(R max -R min ) / Δr×360° / Δα; Calculate the instantaneous wind direction α within each two-dimensional sub-box i based on u1 and v1. i And its frequency of occurrence is statistically analyzed, combined with the speed threshold v. min After removing low-wind-speed or anomalous samples, a two-dimensional joint probability distribution P(r,α) of radius and wind direction is constructed and normalized to quantify the consistency and concentration of wind direction at different radial points.
[0050] Preferably, the radial bin spacing Δr is 0.1°~0.25°, corresponding to a physical distance of approximately 10~25 kilometers, and the wind direction bin spacing Δα is 5°~15°. A smaller Δα is beneficial for finely characterizing the directional distribution, but it will reduce the sample size per bin. During implementation, this should be adaptively adjusted based on the data density; the velocity threshold v... min The quantile method of local annular velocity distribution is used to determine the wind speed modulus |V| = (u1) at each radial position r. 2 +v1 2 ) 0.5 The empirical distribution, taken from the 20th to 30th percentile, is used for the outer areas where the overall wind speed is relatively weak. min The speed should be no less than 2 m / s to avoid noise dominance; the joint probability distribution P(r,α) is obtained by kernel density estimation from a normalized histogram or an equivalent von Mises distribution, with the bandwidth parameter h used in kernel density estimation. r and h α The radial and azimuth resolutions are taken as 1.5 to 2.5 times, respectively. Optimization is performed using adaptive bandwidth or cross-validation, and the effective sample weights are monotonically increased with wind speed and fitting explanatory power. The weighting function is defined as w. i =|V i |·η i , where η i The first harmonic variance explanation for this radial position is given; finally, a normalization process with a sum of 1 is applied to each (r, α) bin, and the normalization formula is P(r, α) = N. w (r,α) / ∑ {r,α} N w (r,α), where N w (r,α) represents the weighted frequency, which characterizes the consistency and concentration of wind direction at different radii.
[0051] Furthermore, the wind direction α is calculated as α = arctan(v1 / u1), and the quadrant of the wind direction is determined based on the signs of u1 and v1. The wind direction is then uniformly converted to the meteorological definition of wind direction from 0° to 360°. The conversion relationships are: when u1>0, v1≥0, α = arctan(v1 / u1); when u1≤0, v1>0, α = 90° + arctan(-u1 / v1); when u1<0, v1≤0, α = 180° + arctan(v1 / u1); when u1≥0, v1<0, α = 270° + arctan(-u1 / v1). The statistical method for the frequency of instantaneous wind direction in each two-dimensional bin is as follows: traverse all grid points in the first-order horizontal wind field (u1, v1), and assign each grid point to its corresponding two-dimensional bin based on its radius r and wind direction α. The bin assignment is determined using a floor rule, i.e., r... bin =floor((rR min ) / Δr), α bin =floor(α / Δα), which accumulates the number of grid points in each bin and simultaneously adds the corresponding weight w. i This forms a frequency matrix N(r,α), which is then normalized to transform into a probability distribution P(r,α)=N(r,α) / ∑N(r,α), or a weighted form P(r,α)=N w (r,α) / ∑N w (r,α).
[0052] S400. Maximum Probability Feature Recognition and Adaptive Optimization:
[0053] On the two-dimensional joint probability distribution space P(r,α), search for samples N ≥ N min Consistency index with direction C≥C min A set of highly consistent connected regions, N min This is the lower limit for the number of effective samples within a connected region, and a value ranging from 50 to 200 grid points is recommended. The specific value should be determined based on the data resolution and typhoon scale. min For the directional consistency threshold, a value range of 0.7 to 0.9 is recommended. The connected interval Ω with the highest probability is determined as the dominant ventilation flow region. Ω is composed of several adjacent (r, α) sub-bins, and its determination process does not depend on a fixed radius value. This achieves data-driven adaptive radius selection, and through N... min With C min The constraints suppress the sensitivity of the results caused by empirical radius setting, low wind speed noise and / or insufficient sample size.
[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the determination of highly consistent connected regions combines topological connectivity with morphological constraints: first, a threshold segmentation is applied to P(r,α) to obtain candidate regions. The threshold is taken as the 50th to 70th percentile of the probability distribution or the average plus 0.5 times the standard deviation. Connected components are identified using the 4-neighborhood or 8-neighborhood criteria. When the binning mesh is coarse, the 8-neighborhood is used to enhance connectivity; when the binning mesh is dense, the 4-neighborhood is used to improve resolution. The circular variance (σ) of the directional distribution is calculated for each candidate component. circ 2 =1-R, where R is the average composite vector length and the radial span Δr span =r max -r min In terms of shape compactness, excessive radial span (Δr) should be eliminated. span >3°) or the directional variance exceeds the threshold (σ circ 2 False peaks >0.5); when there are multiple candidate components that meet the conditions, select the component with both a higher peak probability and a smaller directional variance, and use the Bayesian information criterion BIC=k·ln(n)-2·ln(L), where k is the number of model parameters (2 here, i.e., the center radius and the center wind direction), n is the sample size, and L is the likelihood function value. The final selection is completed by combining the sample size and model complexity, and the connected component with the smallest BIC is selected as the optimal solution.
[0055] Furthermore, the directional consistency index C is defined as the average composite vector length of a unit wind direction vector within the region, and is calculated using the formula C=(∑cos(α)). i )) 2 +(∑sin(α i )) 2 ) 0.5 / N, with a value range of [0,1], or equivalently defined as the percentage of samples falling within the prevailing wind direction tolerance zone, where the prevailing wind direction tolerance zone is 10°~20°, and the prevailing wind direction is defined as the weighted average wind direction α. mean =arctan(∑w i ·sin(α i ) / ∑w i ·cos(α i The tolerance band is [α] mean -Δα tol , α mean +Δα_ tol When there exist multiple conditions satisfying N≥N min C≥C min When considering a connected region, first select Ω, which has the largest sum of probability masses within the region. The sum of probability masses is defined as M. Ω =∑ {(r,α)∈Ω}P(r,α), then compare the effective sample size with the consistency index C. When the probability quality and the difference are less than 10%, the region with the higher C value is selected first.
[0056] S500. Robust estimation and quality control of ventilation flow vectors:
[0057] Robust statistical estimations were performed on the first-order zonal and meridional wind components within Ω to obtain the corresponding zonal and meridional components u of the ventilation flow. v v v Based on this, the ventilation flow vector V is formed. v =(u v ,v v ) and its direction α v With modulus |V v |,α v =arctan(v v / u v ), |V v |=(u v 2 +v v 2 ) 0.5 Robust statistics employs weighted average, truncated average, or median estimation to suppress the influence of residual outliers. The selection criteria for these three methods are as follows: weighted average is used when the sample distribution within Ω is approximately Gaussian and the proportion of outliers is <5%; a 10% truncated average is used when the proportion of outliers is between 5% and 15%; and median estimation is used when the proportion of outliers is >15% or the distribution is significantly skewed. Simultaneously, the quality index Q is calculated. v To quantify the confidence level, Q v The value range is [0,1], and the higher the value, the more reliable the estimate.
[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, when performing robust estimation of the first-order horizontal wind component within Ω, the weighting coefficient is jointly determined by the binning probability P(r,α) and the local wind speed amplitude, and the weighting function is w. i =P(r i ,α i )·|V i | β Where β is the wind speed weighting exponent, ranging from 0.5 to 1.0, and the median absolute deviation is used as the scaling parameter for adaptive estimation; ≥200 resamplings are performed using the bootstrap method, with each resampling randomly drawing samples with replacement from within Ω, resulting in the ventilation flow vector V. v The confidence intervals and bias correction terms are calculated, with the confidence intervals taken at the 2.5% and 97.5% quantiles of the Bootstrap distribution, and the bias correction term being the difference between the Bootstrap mean and the original estimate; the quality index Q... vFrom the number of valid samples N eff The normalized weighted combination of directional consistency C and the half-width of the confidence interval is used to quantify the confidence level.
[0059] As a preferred approach, to avoid instability caused by single-time fluctuations, time consistency and multi-time smoothing are implemented: for consecutive time periods V v A combined exponentially weighted moving average and Kalman filter are used for smoothing. The state equation models the ventilation flow evolution as a random walk and uses the environmentally guided airflow rate of change as a priori process noise. The state equation is X. t =A·X {t-1} +w t The observation equation is Z t =H·X t +v t , where the state vector X t =[u v ,v v ] T The state transition matrix A is the identity matrix, the observation matrix H is the identity matrix, and w t For process noise, v t To observe the noise, the process noise covariance matrix Q is initially set to (2 m / s). 2 The observation noise covariance matrix R is adaptively set to R = (5·(1-Qv) m / s) based on the quality index Qv. 2 • I; Based on the generalized likelihood ratio test, when a sudden change is detected, the process noise is adaptively increased to track it quickly, ensuring that a physically reasonable estimate can still be given during the rapid structural adjustment phase.
[0060] S600. Result Output and Constraint Determination:
[0061] Output ventilation flow vector V v Direction α v Modulus | V v | and its 95% confidence interval; when the quality index Q v Below the preset threshold or Ω does not meet N min and C min When constraints are applied, a result rejection or uncertainty flag is triggered to ensure the stability and reproducibility of the results under weak guidance, near-shore, and strong asymmetric conditions. Preferably, the quality index Q... v By normalizing to 0-1 and setting a level threshold, it is divided into high quality (Q) v ≥0.8), medium quality (0.6≤Q) v <0.8), low quality (0.4≤Q) v <0.6) and unavailable (Q) v (<0.4) Four levels, when Q v In the middle range (0.6≤Q)v When Q < 0.8, output interval estimation and uncertainty strips, with the uncertainty strip width being 1.5 times the half-width of the confidence interval; when Q v Below the minimum threshold (Q) v When the value is less than 0.4, the result is marked as unusable and reverted to the backup strategy. The backup strategies are in the following order of priority: ① Appropriately increase Δr (increase by 20%~50%) or Δα (increase by 30%~100%) to increase the sample size per bin; ② Enable the suboptimal connected region, i.e., select the connected region with the second largest probability quality and satisfying the constraints; ③ Use the alternative estimate of the adjacent height layer (e.g., 700 hPa or 500 hPa) and correct for the height layer difference; ④ When all backup strategies fail, output the missing data flag and record the reason for failure, including increasing Δr or Δα to reduce spatial resolution in exchange for sample stability, enabling the suboptimal connected region, i.e., selecting the region with the second highest probability quality and satisfying the weakening constraint (N≥0.7·Nmin, C≥0.85·Cmin), or using the alternative estimate of the adjacent height layer, with the 700 hPa layer preferred and the 500 hPa layer used when necessary, and corrected according to the climatological differences of the steering airflow between height layers. The correction coefficient is obtained through regression of historical statistical samples. The final output includes: ventilation flow vector V v and its confidence interval, quality grade label, and dominant region radius [r] min ,r max ], Dominant azimuth range [α min ,α max ] , Number of valid samples N eff The direction consistency index C value, and the strategy type identifier when the backup strategy is adopted.
[0062] Example 2: Typhoon Ventilation Flow Adaptive Calculation System
[0063] Based on Embodiment 1 above, Embodiment 2 further provides a typhoon ventilation flow adaptive calculation system based on the above calculation method. This system adopts a modular design, with each module interacting through standardized data interfaces, supporting deployment and operation in single-machine or distributed computing environments. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the computing system mainly includes the following modules:
[0064] The data acquisition and preprocessing module receives meteorological reanalysis data or numerical weather prediction data, locates the typhoon center at the target time, and extracts horizontal wind field data covering the typhoon's influence area. The location methods include: ① reading typhoon path databases (such as the CMA optimal path dataset or JTWC path data) to obtain the initial position; ② if path data is unavailable, automatically identifying the typhoon center using the multi-index comprehensive judgment method in step S100; ③ performing a spatiotemporal continuity check on the location results and eliminating locations with anomalous jumps. The typhoon's translational velocity is estimated and subtracted from the wind field to form a relative wind field. The translational velocity is calculated using finite difference or least squares fitting of the center position time series, with a time window of 3-6 hours before and after the typhoon.
[0065] As a preferred approach, the data preprocessing workflow of this module includes the following steps: ① Data quality check: detecting missing values, outliers (outside the physically reasonable range), and data integrity; ② Spatial interpolation and gridding: interpolating non-uniform or sparse observation data to a regular latitude and longitude grid, using bilinear, bicubic, or Kriging interpolation methods; ③ Time alignment: when the time resolution of the input data is inconsistent with the required analysis time, performing time interpolation or selecting the most recent time; ④ Coordinate system transformation preparation: extracting the geographical range of the analysis area and calculating the grid spacing to establish a mapping relationship for subsequent polar coordinate transformation.
[0066] The coordinate transformation and harmonic decomposition module is used to convert the zonal and meridional wind components u and v in the relative wind field into tangential wind speed Vt and radial wind speed Vr relative to the typhoon center. The transformation process includes: ① establishing a polar coordinate grid with the typhoon center as the origin, and the radial range [R] in, R out ], radial step size Δr, azimuth range [0°, 360°], azimuth step size Δα; ② For each polar coordinate grid point (r, λ), calculate the latitude and longitude (lon, lat) in the geographic coordinate system; ③ Interpolate the wind speed components of the polar coordinate points on the (u, v) field of the geographic coordinate grid, using bilinear or bicubic interpolation; ④ Convert (u, v) to (Vt, Vr), the conversion formula is Vt=-u·sin(λ)+v·cos(λ), Vr=u·cos(λ)+v·sin(λ), and extract the first harmonics of each radial r along the azimuth angle λ to obtain Vt1 and Vr1. The harmonic extraction uses Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) or Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and then inverse transform to obtain the first-order horizontal wind u1 and v1. After inverse transform, it needs to be interpolated back to the geographic coordinate grid for subsequent processing to form the wind field after asymmetric signal enhancement.
[0067] The probability distribution construction module is used to discretize the (u1,v1) field into two-dimensional bins according to a preset radial interval Δr and wind direction interval Δα. The discretization process is as follows: ① Determine the radius bin boundary r bins =[Rin ,R in +Δr,R in +2Δr,..,R out Number of boxes N r =(R out -R in ) / Δr;② Determine the wind direction sub-box boundary α bins =[0°,Δα,2Δα,..,360°], Number of boxes N α =360° / Δα;③ Traverse all grid points in the (u1,v1) field, calculate the radius and wind direction of each grid point relative to the typhoon center α=arctan2(v1,u1), and assign the grid points to the corresponding two-dimensional bins (i,j), where i=(rR in ) / Δr, j=α / Δα, calculate the frequency of wind direction occurrence in each sub-box and combine it with the velocity threshold v min Low-wind-speed or anomalous samples are removed, specifically by calculating the wind speed modulus |V| for each grid point, only removing samples if |V| ≥ v. min When this grid point is included in the frequency statistics, v min The wind speed distribution within each radial ring (r ± Δr / 2) is calculated independently. The 20th to 30th percentile of the wind speed distribution in that ring is taken, and finally normalized to obtain the two-dimensional joint probability distribution of radius and wind direction, P(r,α), which is used to quantify the consistency and concentration of wind direction at different radial locations.
[0068] As a preferred approach, the probability distribution construction module implements adaptive adjustment of binning parameters: ① When the original data resolution is coarse (grid spacing > 0.5°), Δr is reduced to increase radial resolution, but not less than 0.5 times the original grid spacing; ② When the average sample size per bin is too small (e.g., < 10 grid points), Δr or Δα is moderately increased, specifically by 1.5 to 2 times the original value, until the sample size per bin is ≥ 10; ③ When the typhoon scale is small (radius of the 7-level wind circle < 200 km), Δr and Δα are reduced proportionally; ④ The rationality of binning granularity is evaluated through cross-validation or information entropy criteria to avoid excessive discretization or excessive smoothing.
[0069] The construction of the joint probability distribution P(r, α) includes two options: the first option is the histogram method, P(r, α) = N(r, α) / ∑N(r, α), where N(r, α) is the number of effective grid points or weighted counts within the bin (r, α); the second option is the kernel density estimation method, P(r, α) = ∑ {i} K h ((rr i ) / h r , (α-α i ) / h α ) / Z, where K h For a two-dimensional kernel function (such as a Gaussian kernel or a von Mises kernel), hr and h α Let Z be the bandwidth parameter and Z be the normalization constant. Kernel density estimation can smooth discrete noise, but it is computationally intensive and suitable for high-resolution data; histogram method is computationally simple and suitable for cases with sufficient sample size and relatively uniform distribution. Both methods require periodic processing of the boundary bins, i.e., α=0° and α=360° are considered to be in the same direction.
[0070] In addition, the anomaly detection and removal mechanism of this module includes: ① Local outlier detection: Within each radial ring, the circular standard deviation of wind direction is calculated, and samples exceeding 3 times the standard deviation are marked as anomalies; ② Spatial isolated point detection: If the probability difference between a bin and its 8 neighboring bins is too large (relative difference > 200%), and the sample size of the bin is < 50% of the neighborhood average, it is marked as isolated noise and smoothed or removed; ③ Temporal continuity test: When processing continuous time data, if the probability of a bin changes abruptly between adjacent time periods (change rate > 100% / hour), the weight of the bin in the current time period is reduced or manual review is triggered.
[0071] The adaptive parameter identification module is used to search for highly consistent connected regions in P(r,α) that satisfy the constraints of sample size and orientation consistency. The search algorithm adopts a two-stage method based on threshold segmentation and connected component labeling: In the first stage, a threshold P is applied to the probability distribution P(r,α). th We obtain the binary mask M(r,α), P th The value is taken as the 50th to 70th percentile of the probability distribution or the mean plus 0.5 times the standard deviation, such that M(r,α)=1 when P(r,α)≥P th Otherwise, M(r,α)=0; In the second stage, a connected component labeling algorithm (such as a flood fill algorithm based on breadth-first search (BFS) or depth-first search (DFS)) is applied to the binary mask M(r,α), using the 8-neighborhood connectivity criterion to identify all connected regions {Ω k}, k=1,2,..,K, the connected interval Ω with the highest probability and satisfying the constraints is determined as the dominant ventilation flow region. Ω is composed of several adjacent (r,α) sub-bins, and its determination process does not depend on a fixed radius value, thus realizing adaptive radius selection in a data-driven manner, and through N min With C minThe constraints suppress the sensitivity of results caused by empirical radius setting, low wind speed noise, and / or insufficient sample size. Preferably, when multiple high-scoring regions exist (score difference <10%), physical rationality criteria are used for further selection: ① Regions where the prevailing wind direction is consistent with the direction of the environmental steering flow (angle <30°), which can be extracted from the large-scale wind field of reanalysis data or the environmental field of numerical forecasts; ② Regions whose radial center is located near the characteristic radius of the typhoon wind circle (e.g., the radius of the 34-knot or 50-knot wind circle); ③ Regions that are stable over time (center position drift <1° between time intervals). If a unique selection is still not possible, the top two candidate regions and their uncertainty intervals are output.
[0072] The ventilation flow calculation and quality assessment module is used to perform robust aggregation of u1 and v1 within the dominant ventilation flow region Ω to obtain the ventilation flow vector V. v =(u v ,v v ), direction α v With modulus |V v |and generate quality index Q v Q v The overall reliability of the estimate is reflected, and its value ranges from [0,1]. Preferably, the quality index Q... v It is composed of a weighted combination of three sub-indicators, and the calculation formula is: Q v =w N ·Q N +w C ·Q C +w CI ·Q CI Where: ① Sample quantum index QN=1-exp(-N) Ω / N0), where N0 is the reference sample size taken as 100, Q N Q reflects the sufficiency of the sample; when the sample size reaches N0, Q... N ≈0.63, the larger the sample size, the lower the Q value. N The closer to 1; ② Consistency sub-index Q C= C Ω That is, the direction of the dominant region is consistent, and the C calculated by the previous module is directly adopted. Ω Value; ③ Confidence sub-index Q CI =1-min(ΔCI / ΔCI max ,1), where ΔCI=(|u v97.5% -u v2.5% |+|v v97.5% -v v2.5% |) / 2 is the average of the half-width of the confidence interval, ΔCI max The normalized reference value is taken as 10 m / s, Q CI The narrower the confidence interval, the more accurate the estimation.CI The higher the value; ④ It is recommended that the weighting coefficient be w. N =0.3, w C =0.4, w CI =0.3, which can be adjusted according to application requirements. Final Q v Normalized to the [0,1] interval, Q v ≥0.8 indicates high quality, 0.6≤Q v <0.8 indicates medium quality, 0.4≤Q v <0.6 indicates low quality, Q v <0.4 indicates unavailable.
[0073] The result verification and output control module is used to output V. v α v 、|V v | and related quality and uncertainty information, and perform final verification and formatted packaging of the results, when Q v Below the preset threshold or Ω does not meet N min and C min When constraints are applied, a result rejection or uncertainty warning is triggered, and the reason for failure and the history of degradation operations are recorded. Preferably, the output of this module includes the following complete information set: ① Core result: Ventilation flow vector V v =(u v v v ) and its 95% confidence interval [u vlow u vhigh ],[v vlow v vhigh Ventilation flow direction α v (Meteorological wind direction, in degrees) and its standard error σ αv Ventilation flow modulus | V v | (unit: m / s) and its relative error δ|V v ② Quality Indicators: Comprehensive Quality Indicator Q v Its level identifier (high / medium / low / unavailable), sub-index Q N Q C Q CI ③ Dominant region information: radius range r of the dominant region min r max The azimuth range of the dominant region α min α max Valid sample size N Ω , directional consistency C Ω probability mass and M Ω ④ Metadata: Analysis time (UTC timestamp), typhoon number and name, typhoon center location, typhoon movement speed, data source identifier, binning parameters (Δr, Δα), constraint parameters (N) min Cmin ⑤ Diagnostic information: calculation method identifier (such as robust estimation scheme number, whether time smoothing is applied), downgrade operation record (if any), warning or error code, calculation time.
[0074] In this embodiment of the invention, the system adopts a pipelined data processing architecture, with each module sequentially coupled in a data flow manner: the output of the data acquisition and preprocessing module is sequentially supplied to the coordinate transformation and harmonic decomposition module, the probability distribution construction module, the adaptive parameter identification module, the ventilation flow calculation and quality assessment module, and the result verification and output control module; the system stores each parameter and intermediate result in the memory, and the processor executes the instructions of each module to output typhoon ventilation flow diagnosis results that are insensitive to the selection of a fixed radius.
[0075] Example 3: Application Case
[0076] Based on Examples 1 and 2 above, Example 3 provides a case study based on an actual typhoon (Typhoon No. 2 of 2021, see...). Figure 3 In the application scenario of this invention, using hourly 0.25°×0.25° reanalysis data from ERA5 as input, adaptive extraction and effect verification of ventilation flow are performed to verify the operability and physical representativeness of the method in real wind fields.
[0077] Regarding the identification of the original wind field and the typhoon center. For example... Figure 3 As shown in Figure (a), April 17, 2021, 00:00 UTC was selected as the analysis time, at which time Typhoon No. 2 of 2021 was located in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The location of the typhoon center was determined by the minimum sea level pressure and the maximum vorticity at 850 hPa, with latitude and longitude of approximately (13.6°N, 129.8°E). Wind field data within a 10-15 latitude and longitude range around the typhoon center were extracted as the analysis area. The relative wind field was obtained by subtracting the typhoon's translational velocity from the original wind field, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown in Figure (b), the large-scale circulation structure of the β-vortex pair can be clearly identified.
[0078] Polar coordinate transformation and first-order harmonic structure identification. The horizontal wind components u and v are converted into tangential Vt and radial Vr, as follows: Figure 3 As shown in Figures (c) to (d), Fourier first-order harmonic decomposition is applied to each radius to extract the main signal of the asymmetric circulating current, as follows. Figure 4 As shown in Figures (e) to (f), the cyclonic (C) and anticyclonic (A) structures of the β-vortex pair are clearly visible in the figures, indicating that the wind field possesses the dynamic basis for the formation of ventilation flow. The first-order horizontal wind field obtained after the inverse transformation is shown below. Figure 4 As shown in Figure (g).
[0079] Construct a joint probability distribution P(r,α) and identify the dominant region Ω. Based on step S300 of Example 1, on the wind field (u1,v1) after harmonic inverse transformation, the radius is grouped at intervals of Δr=1° latitude and longitude (1°~12°), and the wind direction is grouped at intervals of Δα=10° (0°~360°), constructing a two-dimensional statistical bin grid. For each radial ring, the wind speed threshold is calculated, and the distribution of grid points satisfying the conditions in each bin is statistically analyzed. After normalization, the probability distribution P(r,α) is obtained. Figure 5 As shown in Figure (b), the probability distribution clearly shows that the high-probability area is concentrated in a specific radius-wind direction combination. In this case, the probability peak is located at a radius r ≈ 2° and a wind direction α ≈ 315°, which corresponds to the maximum probability. This region satisfies the condition that the sample size N ≥ N0. min =50, wind direction consistency C≥0.65, forming a continuous high-probability region Ω. This spatial distribution characteristic accurately indicates the dominant region of ventilation flow between β-vortex pairs, without relying on any fixed radius setting, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods such as... Figure 4 The results in the middle (h) figure are sensitive to the radius value, which effectively avoids the interference of the minimum wind area in the eye of the typhoon and the β vortex on the main structure area.
[0080] Ventilation flow calculation and physical rationality verification. Within the dominant region Ω, a robust aggregation method with probabilistic weighting is used to calculate the ventilation flow: the zonal wind u and meridional wind v components corresponding to the interval with the highest probability are extracted, and their average value is calculated as the ventilation flow vector. For example... Figure 5 As shown in Figure (c), the calculated ventilation flow (red arrow) is highly consistent with the actual ventilation flow between the β-vortex pairs (C and A). Bootstrap resampling is performed to assess uncertainty, and the results show that the ventilation flow estimate has good stability. The computational quality index shows a high quality level, indicating that the estimate is robust and reliable. Physical plausibility checks show that, as... Figure 4 As shown in Figure (g), the calculated ventilation flow direction is highly consistent with the actual typhoon trajectory (solid black line). The angle between this direction and the actual typhoon movement direction is approximately 7°, which is significantly better than... Figure 4 The deviations shown in Figure (h) when using fixed radii of 3° and 5° verify the physical rationality of the method. This consistency is particularly evident in scenarios where the typhoon's asymmetric structure is significant and the background steering airflow is weakened.
[0081] To verify the advantages of the method of this invention, comparative calculations were performed using the traditional fixed radius method (R=3°, 5°, 7°, 9°, 11°). Figure 4As shown in Figure (h), the results of the fixed radius method reveal significant differences in the calculated ventilation flow under different radius settings. When the radius is 3°, the ventilation flow direction is relatively consistent with the actual movement of the typhoon; however, as the radius increases to 5°, 7°, 9°, and 11°, the ventilation flow direction gradually deviates, and the deviation from the actual movement of the typhoon becomes increasingly larger. This fully exposes the high sensitivity of the traditional method to radius selection. This sensitivity stems from the fact that when the radius is too large, the calculation region includes part or all of the circulation components of the β-vortex pair, causing the synthesized wind field to deviate from the true ventilation flow characteristics; while when the radius is too small, the extremely small wind area in the typhoon eye may introduce turbulence without physical meaning. In contrast, the adaptive method of this invention... Figure 5 As shown in Figure (c), the optimal radius (2° in this example) and wind direction (approximately 315°) are automatically identified based on probability distribution characteristics, without the need for manual parameter presets. The calculation results show that the ventilation flow is highly consistent with the actual movement of the typhoon, and the stability of the results is significantly better than the fixed radius method.
[0082] To verify the universality of the method of this invention, it was applied to the calculation of ventilation flow in 30 years of typhoons. Statistical results show that the method exhibits good applicability and stability in individual typhoon cases of different intensities, regions, and moving speeds. Compared with the fixed radius method, the adaptive method reduces the average deviation between the ventilation flow calculation results and the actual typhoon movement direction by about 35%, and eliminates the need for manual radius selection, achieving adaptive automation of ventilation flow calculation. Especially when the typhoon moves slowly, is close to land, and exhibits strong asymmetry, the importance of ventilation flow increases significantly. The method of this invention can more accurately capture ventilation flow characteristics, providing a reliable reference for typhoon track forecasting.
[0083] The objectives of this invention have been fully and effectively achieved through the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand that this invention includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments described above. Although the invention has been described with reference to what is currently considered the most practical and preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, and any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of the invention will be included within the scope of the claims.
