Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of heat wave event analysis, and particularly relates to a method and system for evaluating the influence of heat waves on the positioning accuracy of a global navigation satellite system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Under the background of global warming, the frequency and intensity of heat waves have significantly increased. Extreme climate events are often accompanied by abnormalities in the land-atmosphere system, and therefore, it is of great scientific significance to study the abnormal changes in land-atmosphere parameters during heat waves. Soil moisture plays a key role in the land-atmosphere coupling process and is a research focus in the field of meteorology. Atmospheric water vapor is also an important parameter of the climate system, which can affect climate change by amplifying the "greenhouse effect" of carbon dioxide. In addition, atmospheric water vapor can also be used to improve the positioning accuracy of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), which is of great significance to high-precision navigation and positioning. The total electron content of the ionosphere, as a key parameter representing the state of the ionosphere, directly affects the estimation accuracy of the ionospheric delay error of GNSS.

[0004] Most current research focuses on the causes of heat waves and their impact on human health, ecosystems and the economy, with few studies on the abnormal changes in land-atmosphere parameters during heat waves. There is no research on the abnormal changes in the total electron content of the ionosphere during heat waves, and there is no research on the impact of heat waves on the positioning accuracy of GNSS, which is not conducive to improving the reliability of navigation under extreme weather and enhancing the robustness of high-precision positioning services.

[0066] Embodiment One

[0067] An evaluation method of the influence of heat wave on the positioning accuracy of global navigation satellite system, comprising the following steps:

[0068] Determine the research area and research year of the target heat wave event, and determine the corresponding climate state according to the research year;

[0069] Obtain the air temperature data of each meteorological station in the research area, and interpolate and supplement the missing data;

[0070] According to the interpolated and supplemented data, determine the research period of the heat wave;

[0071] Obtain grid data of temperature and soil moisture content two meters above the ground surface, and analyze the spatial distribution of outliers of the daily average values ​​of temperature and soil moisture content two meters above the ground surface in the study area during the study period.

[0072] Using atmospheric precipitable water data and hourly air temperature data from various stations, we analyzed the changes in hourly air temperature and hourly precipitable water anomalous values ​​during the research period, and explained the causes of atmospheric precipitable water anomalous values ​​by analyzing the correspondence between atmospheric longwave back radiation and hourly atmospheric precipitable water values.

[0073] Using gridded data of total ionospheric electron content, the total ionospheric electron content data was bilinearly interpolated to meteorological stations to analyze the changes in hourly air temperature and hourly outliers of total ionospheric electron content during the study period.

[0074] Using relevant GNSS station data, the differences in positioning accuracy of the Global Navigation Satellite System during heatwave and non-heatwave periods within the study period were compared, and the evaluation results were obtained.

[0075] The following is a detailed introduction to each step.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the data obtained is from NOAA weather stations.

[0077] Currently, data from other legitimate and authoritative weather stations can also be obtained.

[0078] First, the study area and study year are determined, and the corresponding climatology is determined based on the study year (30 years in this example). Daily Tmax and Tmin data for the summer (June-August) of each NOAA weather station within the study area are selected for the study year and climatology. Then, based on hourly data of 2-meter temperature (T2M) above the surface from ERA5, the daily maximum temperature T2M_max and minimum temperature T2M_min for the summer (June-August) of the study year and climatology are calculated. Next, weather stations with more than 10% missing NOAA data are removed. For the retained weather stations, bilinear interpolation of T2M_max and T2M_min from ERA5 (using data from four grid points surrounding the weather station) is performed. Subsequently, a linear relationship is fitted between the missing NOAA data and the corresponding interpolated T2M data for each weather station. Supplementary values ​​for missing NOAA data at each weather station are calculated by combining the linear relationship and the interpolated T2M data. The interpolated maximum temperature Tmax_combined and minimum temperature Tmin_combined of the weather station are used for selecting the time period in subsequent heat wave studies.

[0079] Similarly, ERA5 data can be replaced by other legitimate and authoritative sources.

[0080] In the process of heat wave research period selection, the climatological temperature data of the meteorological station is used to calculate the 95th percentile threshold of the extreme high temperature of each meteorological station in the study area in summer. Then, the data of each meteorological station in the summer of the study year is analyzed. For a certain meteorological station, when Tmax_combined and Tmin_combined are both greater than the extreme high temperature threshold, the day is defined as a high temperature day. If a heat wave lasts for 3 days or more, it is defined as a regional heat wave when the heat wave covers more than 5% of the study area. Finally, the time period of regional heat wave is selected and extended by n days (if no regional heat wave occurs, it is convenient for subsequent comparative analysis) as the research period for subsequent parameter analysis.

[0081] As shown in Figure 2 , the anomaly analysis of SoilW during the heat wave period:

[0082] For the anomaly analysis of SoilW during the heat wave period, first, the hourly data of T2M and SoilW in the research period is used to calculate the daily average value, and then the daily average climate value of the same period in the previous 5 years is subtracted to obtain the daily average anomaly value. Secondly, select k meteorological stations in the study area that are evenly distributed in space and meet the heat wave criteria in the research period and do not meet the high temperature criteria in the same period of the previous 5 years. Finally, the T2M and SoilW daily average value grid data is bilinearly interpolated to the k meteorological stations, and the change of T2M and SoilW daily average value in the research period is analyzed.

[0083] Anomaly analysis of PWV during the heat wave period:

[0084] For the anomaly analysis of PWV during the heat wave period, first, the GNSS-PWV data of NGL with a time resolution of 5 minutes is resampled to the whole point time every day. Then, select k GNSS stations near the meteorological station with the most complete data, and use the PWV data of the GNSS station to replace the PWV data of the meteorological station. Then, the TCWV grid data of ERA5 is bilinearly interpolated to the GNSS station, and the total column water vapor (TCWV) data is used to interpolate and supplement the missing PWV data. Then, combined with the TMP data of NOAA meteorological station, the hourly anomaly value of k meteorological stations PWV and TMP relative to the average value of the same period in 2018-2022 is analyzed. Finally, the Surface Thermal Radiation Downwards (STRD) grid data is bilinearly interpolated to the meteorological station, and the hourly correspondence between k meteorological stations PWV and STRD in the research period is analyzed to explain the reason for the anomaly of PWV during the heat wave period.

[0085] Anomaly analysis of TEC during the heat wave period:

[0086] For the analysis of TEC anomalies during heatwaves, first, the TEC and Top Of the Atmosphere Incident Solar Radiation (TISR) grid data are bilinearly interpolated to k weather stations, and the hourly changes of TEC and TISR during the study period are analyzed to exclude the influence of solar activity on TEC changes during heatwaves. Second, combined with the TMP data of NOAA, the hourly changes of TEC and TMP at k weather stations during the study period are analyzed. Finally, to exclude the difference in daily variation of TEC affected by seasonal variation, the average value of the same period in the previous 5 years is deducted, and the hourly anomaly values of TEC and TMP at k weather stations during the study period are analyzed.

[0087] As shown in Figure 3 , the evaluation of the influence of heatwaves on GNSS positioning accuracy:

[0088] First, the observation value file (o file), ephemeris and clock error file (sp3 file and clk file), antenna phase center correction file (atx file) of GNSS stations in the study area are obtained, and the observation data file of GNSS stations is calculated in the study period by using RTKLIB software. Then, the accuracy of GNSS positioning in each day of the study period is analyzed, and the difference between the positioning accuracy during heatwaves and that during non-heatwaves is compared.

[0089] This embodiment verifies the feasibility of the above method by taking the heatwave in Spain in 2023 as an example. The study period of the example is August 16-30, 2023, m=15, n=5, and k=8. The GNSS positioning method used in the example is precise point positioning (PPP), and the GNSS station selected is MADR station. Table 1 shows the names, latitudes, longitudes, and elevations of the 8 weather stations, and Table 2 shows the corresponding GNSS station information.

[0091]

[0092] Table 2 Names, corresponding weather stations, and distances from corresponding weather stations of 8 GNSS stations

[0093]

[0094] The analysis results of this embodiment are as follows:

[0095] SoilW anomalies during heatwaves:

[0096] As a typical example, the anomalies of T2M and SoilW in Spain from August 16 to 30, 2023 are obtained, combined with the average values of the same period from 2018 to 2022, and analyzed, which can be obtained: The anomalies of T2M and SoilW daily average values from August 16 to 30, 2023 show a certain correlation in spatial distribution, and their evolution can be roughly divided into three time periods. From August 16 to 20, 2023, the daily average value of T2M in most areas of Spain is about 3-5℃ higher than the average value of the same period from 2018 to 2022. In particular, from August 16 to 18, 2023, the daily average value of T2M in the southwest of Spain is about 3℃ lower. From August 16 to 20, 2023, the SoilW in the southwest of Spain is about 0.15 / , the SoilW in the east and north of Spain is about 0.15-0.2 / lower. From August 21 to 25, 2023, the range of T2M daily average value anomaly is expanded, and the anomaly value is increased to about 5-7℃. At the same time, the range of SoilW daily average value anomaly is expanded, and the SoilW in the southwest of Spain is about 0.15 / lower. From August 26 to 30, 2023, the daily average value of T2M in most areas of Spain is abnormally low, and the range of SoilW daily average value anomaly is expanded, and the SoilW in the north of Spain is about 0.2-0.25 / higher. In summary, the soil is the driest during the heat wave concentrated period from August 21 to 25, 2023.

[0097] The changes of T2M and SoilW daily average values of 8 weather stations from August 16 to 30, 2023 are analyzed, as shown in Figure 4 , it can be seen that the changes of SoilW and T2M daily average values show a negative correlation. When the daily average value of T2M of each weather station is greater than 25℃ from August 21 to 23, 2023, the daily average value of SoilW is low in its own time series, but there is a large difference in the low value of SoilW daily average value of different weather stations, because the underlying surface of different weather stations is different, and the soil water storage capacity is different. Through analysis, it can be seen that for the same area, the soil moisture in the high temperature period is relatively small than in the low temperature period. Because when the soil is dry, the soil evaporation decreases, the surface latent heat flux decreases, and the surface sensible heat flux increases. The surface sensible heat flux can directly heat the atmosphere, and its effect is more obvious than the surface latent heat flux.

[0098] Anomaly of PWV during heat wave:

[0099] From Figure 5It can be seen that the hourly anomalies of PWV and TMP generally show similar changes, and the TMP anomalies from August 16 to 25, 2023 are about 5-10℃ higher than those from August 27 to 30, 2023, and the corresponding PWV anomalies are about 5-20 mm higher. That is, the PWV anomalies are higher during the heat wave.

[0100] Atmospheric water vapor is an important component of the atmosphere and is closely related to atmospheric long-wave radiation. Therefore, we analyzed the hourly correspondence between PWV and STRD at 8 weather stations from August 16 to 30, 2023 to explain the reason for the higher PWV anomalies during the heat wave, as shown in Figure 6 It can be seen that PWV and STRD have a positive correlation, and they not only have similar diurnal fluctuation changes, but also have larger STRD when PWV is larger from August 16 to 25, 2023. STRD is an important component of the energy input to the surface, which can affect the surface temperature, and the near-surface air mainly relies on absorbing long-wave radiation from the surface to warm up. Especially at night without solar radiation, the influence of STRD on the surface temperature becomes larger. Therefore, in general, the atmospheric water vapor content is higher during the high temperature period. However, it is worth noting that the PWV anomalies of weather stations SP000004452, SPE00120233, SPE00120296 and SPE00120593 on August 19, 2023 are about 5-15 mm higher than those of the previous and subsequent periods, but their TMP anomalies are not much different from those of the previous and subsequent periods, as shown in Figure 5 It may be because when PWV is too high, water vapor is easy to reach saturation state to form precipitation, thereby increasing the soil moisture content. Combined with the previous analysis, when the soil moisture content is high, the surface evapotranspiration increases and the surface latent heat flux release is also high. Therefore, although the STRD may be larger when the PWV is high, the surface loses more energy under the action of the surface latent heat flux.

[0101] TEC anomalies during the heat wave:

[0102] After analyzing the TEC of each weather station in Spain from August 16 to 30, 2023, it was found that the TEC change trends of each weather station are roughly the same. Figure 7 is the hourly change of TEC from August 16 to 30, 2023 at weather station SP000004452 and the corresponding hourly changes of TISR and TMP. It can be seen that the daily TEC has a rising and then falling change trend, which is the same as the change trend of TISR. The peak time of TEC roughly corresponds to the peak time of TISR or there is a delay of about 2h, as shown in Figure 7The energy source of ionospheric ionization is mainly solar radiation, so the ionospheric electron content generally presents a change rule of high in the daytime and low at night. However, by analyzing the changes of the daily maximum values of TEC and TISR, it is found that the daily maximum values of TISR present a gradually decreasing trend from August 16 to 30, 2023, and the maximum change is small, which is obviously different from the change trend of the daily maximum values of TEC. It can be seen from Figure 7 (b) that the change trend of the daily maximum values of TEC has a good corresponding relationship with the change trend of the daily maximum values of TMP, and the daily maximum values of TEC during the concentrated time period of the heat wave in Spain from August 21 to 24, 2023 are about 10 TECU larger than the daily maximum values of TEC from August 26 to 28, 2023.

[0103] Figure 8 The figure shows the hourly anomaly values of TEC and TMP of 8 weather stations from August 16 to 30, 2023. It can be seen that compared with the average values from 2018 to 2022, the TEC in 2023 is generally abnormally high, because the solar activity in 2023 is more intense than that from 2018 to 2022, and the TEC is correspondingly higher. However, in order to compare the TEC differences between high temperature days and low temperature days, we only focus on the TEC increments of high temperature days and low temperature days. By comparing and analyzing the anomaly values of TEC, it is found that the TEC increment when TMP is greater than the average value is larger than the TEC increment when TMP is less than the average value, and the change trend of the anomaly values of TMP and TEC has a good corresponding relationship. That is to say, the TEC during the heat wave has an abnormal increase, which may be related to the effects of gravity waves and planetary waves on the ionosphere during the heat wave.

[0104] Evaluation of the influence of heat wave on GNSS positioning accuracy:

[0105] After analyzing the daily RMSE of precise point positioning (PPP) from August 16 to 30, 2023, it is found that compared with non-heat wave periods, the positioning accuracy will decrease during the heat wave. It can be seen from Figure 9 that except for August 22, August 23 and August 26, when the PWV of the station is high, the corresponding RMSE is also large. On August 19, the PWV of the station is 15 mm higher than that from August 27 to 29, and the corresponding RMSE is about 19 cm. According to the previous analysis, the PWV will increase significantly during the heat wave, and the increase of atmospheric water vapor content will lead to the increase of tropospheric delay error, resulting in the decrease of positioning accuracy. In summary, the loss of positioning accuracy during the heat wave is about 10 cm.
