Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil environmental monitoring technology, and more specifically, to a method for modeling the spatial distribution of soil volumetric water content. Background Technology

[0002] Soil moisture is a core monitoring indicator in fields such as agricultural meteorological monitoring, drought early warning, hydrological forecasting, and farmland irrigation management. Currently, most regions rely on automatic soil moisture monitoring network to collect soil volumetric water content in real time. This data, as the raw monitoring element without conversion to soil hydrological constants, avoids parameter errors introduced by manual observation from the source and constitutes an important foundational element for soil moisture monitoring. Developing spatial distribution models based on this raw volumetric water content data is directly significant for improving the accuracy of regional soil moisture status assessment.

[0003] Current soil moisture monitoring and analysis technologies largely rely on a single-point data processing model centered on discrete monitoring stations. Specifically, for hourly data on the volumetric water content of shallow soil layers (10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm) collected by automatic monitoring stations, the current processing procedure typically involves performing quality control steps such as lower threshold testing, upper threshold testing, time consistency testing, and Grubbs' test on the hourly data for each soil layer. Then, the mean of the valid samples from the three soil layers is calculated, and the average of the three soil layers is obtained to obtain the daily value of the shallow soil volumetric water content for that station. This station-scale data processing logic results in monitoring results that can only characterize the soil moisture status at a limited number of station locations, lacking the ability to intuitively depict the continuous spatial distribution characteristics of soil moisture across the entire province. Furthermore, due to the lack of standardized gridded interpolation processing, single-point data cannot accurately represent the spatial differences and anomalies in soil moisture within a region, exhibiting significant limitations in spatial resolution and hindering the quantitative expression of spatiotemporal deviations in soil moisture.

[0004] After acquiring daily data from various stations, existing methods do not further integrate gridded interpolation and anomaly percentage analysis, making it difficult to clearly reveal the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of soil moisture. This limitation results in insufficient support for refined and comprehensive scientific analysis in agricultural production scheduling, meteorological disaster prevention and control, and hydrological resource assessment, failing to fully meet the overall demand for high-precision, comprehensive monitoring and decision-making regarding the spatial distribution of soil moisture.

[0005] Therefore, how to construct a modeling method that can comprehensively reflect the spatial heterogeneity of soil moisture and improve the ability to characterize spatiotemporal changes has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for modeling the spatial distribution of soil volumetric water content, which is used to solve the problems in existing soil moisture monitoring, such as the lack of spatial continuity due to the single-point data processing mode of discrete stations, the weak ability to characterize spatial heterogeneity due to the lack of standardized gridded interpolation processing, and the inability to intuitively quantify the spatiotemporal deviation trend of soil moisture through anomaly analysis.

[0007] The first aspect of the soil moisture spatial distribution modeling method is executed by a processing system. This processing system can be an automated spatial analysis device integrated into a provincial agricultural meteorological monitoring platform, or a distributed data processing and logic operation unit, such as a high-performance computing server, a geographic information processing workstation, an embedded microprocessor control module, or a cloud data analysis engine. In other words, this invention does not limit the specific implementation form of the processing system.

[0008] Firstly, a method for modeling the spatial distribution of soil volumetric water content is provided. This method includes: a processing system acquiring hourly data of shallow layered soil volumetric water content from automatic soil moisture monitoring stations within a provincial jurisdiction in real time each day; extracting effective sample data from each station based on preset lower threshold tests, upper threshold tests, time consistency tests, and Grubbs' test algorithms; calculating the average of the hourly effective samples from the three soil layers at each station scale; and then obtaining the daily value of shallow soil volumetric water content for each station; the processing system collecting daily station value data and corresponding latitude and longitude coordinate data from all stations across the province; constructing a spatial variation structure constraint function based on the latitude and longitude coordinate data; and inputting the daily station value data into the spatial variation structure constraint function for gridded reconstruction, removing local sampling bias components caused by uneven spatial distribution of stations or local micro-topography, and extracting the characteristic of continuous spatial distribution across the province. The system collects daily values ​​of high-resolution gridded soil volumetric water content in a spatially distributed state. It then performs a co-metric assessment between these daily gridded values ​​and a preset drought evolution warning index. If the co-metric assessment is lower than a first preset drought level threshold, the system determines that the current soil moisture state is within a normal fluctuation range. If the co-metric assessment is higher than or equal to the first preset drought level threshold but lower than a second preset drought level threshold, the system performs a second temporal dimension decomposition of the daily gridded values ​​to identify local soil moisture deficit caused by periods of continuous low precipitation or abnormal irrigation interception. Based on the assessment results, the system generates tiered warning instruction labels. When the soil water separation difference exceeds the warning level, it outputs a visualization rendering instruction to the color map driven by thematic mapping. The system extracts the temporal characteristics of gridded anomaly fluctuations over continuous monitoring periods, traces the source in reverse, and outputs dynamic weight compensation values ​​for the spatial interpolation model.

[0009] Optionally, the processing system extracts valid sample data from each station based on a preset verification algorithm, including: capturing the original dielectric response pulse signals of the shallow 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm soil layers in real time by time-domain acquisition units deployed at each automatic water station, and converting the instantaneous value of soil volumetric water content of each soil layer by pulse intensity; collecting the hourly numerical boundaries of each soil layer by threshold discrimination algorithm, and using the comparison relationship between the hourly value and the lower threshold of 3.5% and the upper threshold of 52.0% to drive the valid sample screening unit to update the status marker value of the current time; and triggering the multi-soil layer fusion calculation program to perform the daily shallow layer value integration calculation when the boundary time signal is detected.

[0010] Optionally, the processing system collects daily value data of stations and corresponding latitude and longitude coordinate data, including: sending station geometric topology sensing signals to the gridded processing engine through the spatial registration unit, and receiving the projected position vector value of the station under a unified geographic reference frame; collecting daily shallow layer value data and station elevation attribute data of each station through the data assimilation unit, and reconstructing the effective soil moisture attribute feature vector of the station in the current spatial field.

[0011] By employing an architecture of hourly quality control and spatial variability structure modeling, the processing system maintains a balance between interpolation accuracy and real-time data quality even with uneven spatial distribution of monitoring stations, reducing gridded reconstruction bias caused by the accumulation of errors from individual stations. The spatial variability structure constraint function removes local sampling bias components, improving the accuracy of gridded daily values ​​in representing the overall regional soil moisture distribution. Compared to existing monitoring schemes that rely on discrete station numerical averaging or point mapping, this method, through multi-scale verification fusion and second-order temporal decomposition identification, enhances the sensitivity of capturing local moisture anomalies and regional drought conditions. It supports precise spatiotemporal continuous monitoring of soil moisture in high-resolution, full-domain scenarios, reducing the risk of misjudgments in agricultural production decisions.

[0012] In some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: the processing system collects spatial distribution density deviation samples of stations under different seasonal precipitation conditions based on the monitoring station network to obtain the background error covariance distribution vector of the current interpolation model; analyzes the spatial characteristic scale of the background error covariance distribution vector according to the statistical optimization algorithm to determine the search radius and azimuth parameters of the interpolation model; decomposes the neighborhood of the grid points to be interpolated into a standard grid background field and a local topographic disturbance field; while keeping the standard grid background field unchanged, the spatial drift component defined by the representative difference of the station site selection target is filtered out from the local topographic disturbance field by the Kriging weighted algorithm; the processed background field and disturbance field are reconstructed point by point to synthesize a set of spatially enhanced grid points for soil moisture. The processing system extracts the spatial interference of the station distribution configuration in real time and dynamically adjusts the interpolation weights, thus removing the signal modulation interference of local environmental heterogeneity on the spatial estimation results.

[0013] In some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: the processing system performing adaptive temporal mode decomposition on the spatially enhanced grid set of soil moisture to obtain the intrinsic temporal function components corresponding to the transient excitation of the region by previous concentrated precipitation; extracting the periodic oscillation envelope of the intrinsic temporal function components to calculate the rate of change of soil moisture decay during the continuous time series; vertically slicing the spatially enhanced grid set of soil moisture to extract the local water content differences within the spatial grid at different soil depths; and performing spatiotemporal multidimensional mapping between the decay rate and the local water content differences to construct a coupled feature vector of soil moisture spatial heterogeneity and temporal evolution. By extracting the moisture decay features, the processing system identifies local water content fluctuations caused by the water-holding characteristics of clay, thereby improving the depth of characterization of drought evolution boundaries.

[0014] In some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: the processing system acquiring monitoring feedback sample sets covering different landform types and soil textures; establishing a standard soil moisture spatial distribution center vector based on a clustering algorithm to form a soil moisture anomaly pattern feature library; constructing a judgment model based on geographic weighted regression or hybrid heuristic search, and pre-training it using the standard center vector; inputting the real-time acquired soil moisture coupled feature vector into a preset kernel function, mapping it to a high-dimensional geographic attribute space, and constructing an optimal soil moisture state decision hyperplane; and calculating the geometric distance of the feature vector relative to the decision boundaries of each drought level. Through high-dimensional spatial mapping, the processing system expands the linear separability between the normal moisture spatial curve and drought-deficient fluctuations, improving the robustness of drought judgment decisions.

[0015] In some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: the processing system extracts the instantaneous spatial gradient flow of the spatially enhanced grid set of soil moisture based on a sliding window mutation operator, and identifies local anomalous abrupt change patches in the spatial domain; performs narrowband directional gradient spectrum analysis on the grid set to extract the differences in moisture distribution on the windward and leeward slopes on both sides of the topographic elevation gradient; and fuses the contrast factor of the local anomalous abrupt change patches with the aspect distribution difference features to construct a second-order refined spatial diagnostic vector. When the contrast factor is within a first preset interval and the aspect difference exhibits an asymmetric distribution, the processing system determines that there is a real local moisture variation signal caused by topographic convergence lines or leakage from irrigation facilities.

[0016] In some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: the processing system performing trend evolution analysis on grid anomaly fluctuation deviation samples within a preset continuous monitoring period, extracting the phase displacement trajectory of the feature vector over time; establishing a correlation model between the phase displacement trajectory and the semivariance function parameters within the interpolation algorithm; and converting the displacement amount into parameter correction instruction code data packets based on an adaptive feedback control algorithm, and transmitting them to the central processing unit of the processing system in real time. Through reverse tracing, the processing system achieves real-time correction of the interpolation model parameters, avoiding systematic shifts in the overall monitoring results caused by sensor aging at automatic stations or changes in the climate background.

[0017] Secondly, a soil moisture spatial distribution modeling device is provided. This device can be the aforementioned processing system hardware or an embedded computing module used to perform the functions of the system.

[0018] One possible implementation is that the apparatus includes units for performing the method steps described in the first aspect. For example, the apparatus includes a data acquisition unit (for monitoring data acquisition and early warning command output) and a spatial analysis and processing unit (for grid interpolation modeling and spatiotemporal feature identification).

[0019] Thirdly, a soil moisture spatial distribution modeling device is provided, including a processor that executes computer instructions in a memory, causing the device to perform the soil volumetric water content spatial distribution modeling method of the first aspect.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the device also includes a communication interface for digital signal interaction with an automatic water station data collector, a geographic information database server, and an integrated early warning display terminal.

[0021] Fourthly, a soil moisture spatial distribution modeling device is provided, including a logic circuit and an input / output interface. The input / output interface is used to receive monitoring signals from multiple source stations and output early warning judgments or parameter correction data packets. The logic circuit is used to execute the spatial variation structure modeling and soil moisture spatiotemporal feature identification method of the first aspect.

[0022] Fifthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which a computer program is stored, which, when executed by a processor, performs the spatial distribution modeling method of the first aspect.

[0023] In a sixth aspect, a computer program product is provided, comprising instructions that, when executed on a computer, cause the method of the first aspect to be performed.

[0024] In a seventh aspect, a chip system is provided, including a processor, for calling program instructions in memory to implement the multi-scale data fusion, grid field reconstruction and drought evolution feature recognition functions of the first aspect.

[0025] Eighthly, a chip installed in a gridding processing device is provided. This chip reads multi-source site sensor data through a communication interface and drives a processor to execute the online gridding modeling process of the first aspect, outputting spatial distribution map rendering instructions.

[0026] For a description of the beneficial effects of any of the second to eighth aspects, please refer to the description of the first aspect.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a method for modeling the spatial distribution of soil volumetric water content. Through a multi-soil-layer quality control process, it achieves real-time dynamic validity screening of raw monitoring data from various stations. By constructing a spatial variation structure constraint function, this invention solves the problem of continuity discontinuity in regional spatial field reconstruction caused by the discrete distribution of stations, transforming the complex heterogeneous distribution process of regional moisture into a computable standardized grid field, thus improving the geospatial resolution of moisture monitoring. Secondly, by introducing anomaly percentage calculation and a temporal secondary decomposition identification mechanism, it can perform fine-level feature extraction for local anomalies caused by meteorological drought accumulation or soil texture differences, effectively identifying spatial representation biases caused by topographic artifacts. Through the synthesis of spatially enhanced grid sets of soil moisture and high-dimensional geographic attribute spatial mapping decisions, this invention maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio in monitoring products under complex local environmental disturbances and background climate fluctuations, enhancing the system's response sensitivity to regional initial drought signals. Finally, through reverse tracing and dynamic weight compensation mechanisms, it achieves closed-loop optimization of interpolation model parameters, solving the lag problem of traditional single-point analysis logic in dealing with changes in automatic station networks or performance variations of monitoring instruments. This invention not only ensures the spatial continuity of provincial regional water monitoring, but also optimizes the gradient expression within the drought evolution path through spatiotemporal coupling feature analysis, eliminating systematic errors such as uneven station density and sample bias, and significantly improving the quality, reliability, and decision-making efficiency of agricultural meteorological disaster monitoring.

[0046] like Figures 1-2 As shown in some embodiments of this application, this embodiment provides a method for modeling the spatial distribution of soil volumetric water content, including: Step S100: Obtain hourly data of shallow stratified soil volumetric water content from each automatic soil moisture monitoring station within the provincial jurisdiction. Extract effective sample data from each station based on preset lower limit threshold test, upper limit threshold test, time consistency test and Grubbs test algorithm. Calculate the average value of the hourly effective samples of the three soil layers within each station scale, and then obtain the daily value of shallow soil volumetric water content for the station on that day.

[0047] Specifically, when extracting valid sample data from each station based on a pre-set verification algorithm, the process includes: capturing the original dielectric response pulse signals of the shallow 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm soil layers in real time using time-domain acquisition units deployed at each automatic water station; calculating the instantaneous soil volumetric water content of each soil layer based on the Topp formula and pulse intensity; and adjusting the sampling window length of the fusion program and the initial weights of the multi-soil layer mean integration according to the date signal. For example, the multi-soil layer fusion calculation program is triggered after the date signal is detected, i.e., after the last data collection at 23:00 on the same day is completed.

[0048] Understandably, by introducing a multi-level quality control and fusion calculation model at the station scale, real-time dynamic screening of the validity of raw monitoring data can be achieved. First, relying on the time-domain acquisition unit, dielectric pulses of each soil layer are continuously sampled. Using numerical boundary thresholds and time consistency criteria, discrete error data susceptible to instantaneous sensor fluctuations or electromagnetic interference are transformed into a valid sample set eligible for computation. Based on this, a diurnal trigger mechanism is introduced to dynamically adjust the mean calculation range according to the valid sample status of the three soil layers, enabling the daily station values ​​to adapt to the vertical moisture distribution characteristics of different soil types (such as sandy soil, loam, and clay). Furthermore, when the system scans and finds that all data for the day has passed quality control, the integration logic is automatically activated. By performing equal-weighted or weighted averaging of the valid means from the 10cm, 20cm, and 30cm layers, an objective representation of the overall shallow soil moisture status at the station is achieved, improving the accuracy of extracting true soil moisture information.

[0049] For example, in the processing of a representative site, the system extracted 22, 24, and 23 valid hourly samples from the 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm soil layers, respectively. Based on this, the mean values ​​of the valid samples from the three soil layers were calculated to be 18.5 degrees, 22.1 degrees, and 25.8 degrees, respectively. By calculating the average of the three mean values ​​with equal weights, the daily shallow soil volumetric water content at this site was found to be 22.1%, providing high-confidence data input for subsequent spatial interpolation modeling.

[0050] Step S200: Collect daily station value data and corresponding latitude and longitude coordinate data of all stations in the province on the same day, and construct a spatial variation structure constraint function based on the latitude and longitude coordinate data.

[0051] Specifically, when extracting high-resolution gridded daily values ​​representing the continuous distribution across the province, the process includes: decomposing the neighborhood of the grid point to be interpolated into a standard grid background field and a local topographic disturbance field; reconstructing the processed background field and disturbance field point by point, and synthesizing a spatially enhanced gridded set of soil moisture using a Kriging weighted algorithm; and vertically slicing the spatially enhanced gridded set of soil moisture to extract the local water content difference ΔZvertical at different soil depths of 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm within the spatial grid. Specifically, when collecting daily station data and corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates, the process includes: sending station geometric topology sensing signals to the gridding processing engine through spatial registration units, and receiving the station's position vector values ​​under the universal transverse Mercator projection framework. Collect daily shallow water value data for each station. and station elevation attribute data Reconstruct the effective soil moisture attribute feature vector of the site within the current spatial field. ,in The standard deviation represents the local topographical characteristics of the site.

[0052] Understandably, by spatially registering and reconstructing the attributes of daily data from various stations, a spatial variation structure constraint function is constructed, thereby providing spatial dependency constraint boundaries for gridded reconstruction. First, the spatial registration unit performs a unified geographic projection transformation on the daily values ​​of stations scattered across different geographical locations to determine if there are any spatial mismatches caused by drift in station latitude and longitude records. Simultaneously, the data assimilation unit fuses the station elevation attributes in real time, reconstructing the moisture attribute feature vectors under different elevation gradients. Further, spatial semivariogram analysis is performed on the station location vectors, daily values, and elevation attributes to construct a unified variation structure function that describes "sampling distance - moisture variability - topographic relief." This function allows for spatial dimensional constraints on interpolation weights in subsequent processing, eliminating reconstruction uncertainties caused by uneven spatial distribution of stations and improving the system's ability to reconstruct gridded fields in complex geographical environments.

[0053] Step S300: Input the daily value data of the stations into the spatial variation structure constraint function for grid-based reconstruction, remove the local sampling bias component caused by uneven spatial distribution of stations or local micro-topography, and extract the high-resolution grid-based daily value of soil volumetric water content that represents the continuous spatial distribution of the province.

[0054] Specifically, when removing local sampling bias components and extracting high-resolution gridded daily values, the process includes: collecting station spatial distribution density deviation samples under different seasonal precipitation conditions based on the monitoring station network, obtaining the background error covariance distribution vector of the current interpolation model; and using the formula...

[0055] Calculate the sample semivariance, where The station spacing vector, For spacing equal to The number of sites, integration interval: covering the entire province's spatial domain; based on the analysis of the spatial characteristic scale of the background error covariance using a statistical optimization algorithm, the search radius of the interpolation model is determined. With azimuth parameters .

[0056] Specifically, extracting high-resolution grid daily values ​​representing the continuous distribution across the province also includes: decomposing the neighborhood of the grid points to be interpolated into a standard grid background field and a local topographic disturbance field; reconstructing the processed background field and disturbance field point by point, and synthesizing a spatially enhanced grid set of soil moisture using the Kriging weighted algorithm; and vertically slicing the spatially enhanced grid set of soil moisture to extract the local differences in water content within the spatial grid at different soil depths of 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm. .

[0057] Understandably, this step constructs a gridded reconstruction mechanism of "background field constraint + topographic disturbance stripping". First, a semivariogram analysis is performed on the station data using a spatial variation structure constraint function to remove covariance estimation biases caused by the spatial clustering or sparse distribution of stations from the global model. Then, through statistical optimization of the background error covariance distribution, the optimal search radius and anisotropy parameters are locked and applied to physically strip the spatial drift components caused by "local micro-topography or stations near irrigation facilities". Further, through point-by-point synthesis of the background field and the disturbance field, a spatially enhanced gridded set of different vertical soil layers is obtained at the regional level, ultimately forming a high-resolution and spatially continuous soil moisture distribution characteristic. This characteristic not only includes spatially continuous information on water abundance and scarcity but also incorporates local water content fluctuations caused by soil texture and topography, greatly improving the system's characterization accuracy for areas with low water content below 10% and high water content above 50%.

[0058] Table 1 below shows a comparison of the gridding effects before and after the algorithm reconstruction:

[0059] Step S400: Perform collaborative measurement and judgment between the grid point daily values ​​and the preset drought evolution early warning index; generate tiered early warning instruction labels based on the judgment results; when the soil water separation difference is found to exceed the warning level, output visualization rendering instructions to the color map driven by thematic map making.

[0060] Specifically, when co-measuring and judging gridded daily values ​​with drought evolution early warning indices, the following steps are taken: obtaining monitoring feedback sample sets covering different landform types and soil textures, and establishing a standard soil moisture spatial distribution center vector using clustering algorithms. A kernel-function-based decision model is constructed to calculate the geometric distance between the real-time soil moisture coupled feature vector and the optimal soil moisture state decision hyperplane. ; to measure collaboration Compared with the first preset drought level threshold (Upper limit of normal fluctuations) and the second preset drought level threshold Compare with the drought warning line.

[0061] Specifically, if Then, a second-order decomposition and identification is performed along the temporal dimension, including: extracting the instantaneous spatial gradient flow of the grid set using the sliding window mutation operator. This involves identifying local anomalous abrupt changes in the spatial domain; performing narrowband directional gradient spectrum analysis on the grid set to extract the differences in moisture distribution between the windward and leeward slopes on either side of the topographic elevation gradient; and adjusting the contrast factor of the local anomalous abrupt changes. By integrating the symmetry of slope aspect distribution differences, a second-order fine spatial diagnostic vector is constructed to determine whether there is a local soil moisture deficit caused by a period of continuous low precipitation or abnormal irrigation interception.

[0062] Understandably, through a dual-threshold mechanism and second-order decomposition identification, the system achieves refined control over the evolution of drought. When the co-measure is within the normal range, the system determines that the current soil moisture state is within the normal fluctuation range and does not need to trigger an early warning; when it is between the first and second thresholds, the system no longer simply performs a binary boundary, but distinguishes between genuine regional drought and moisture deficit signals and false moisture anomalies caused by topographic artifacts such as valley inversion effects or local precipitation interception by analyzing instantaneous spatial gradient flow and slope aspect moisture differences. This mechanism effectively solves the problem of false alarms caused by the representativeness bias of stations under complex terrain conditions in existing technologies. For example, if the moisture difference between the leeward and windward slopes is highly asymmetrical, and the contrast factor of local abrupt change patches is within the first preset range, it indicates the existence of persistent moisture maintenance formed by topographic convergence line shading, and is judged as non-drought local fluctuation; if If the soil moisture deficit exceeds the second threshold and the second-order fine-tuning diagnostic vector indicates that the contrast factor of a large area exceeds the limit, it is identified as a real soil moisture deficit caused by the accumulation of meteorological drought. Based on this, the system generates a tiered early warning instruction label and drives the color mapper to output a visualization rendering instruction, thereby maintaining the high signal-to-noise ratio and decision accuracy of the regional drought monitoring products.

[0063] Step S500: Extract the time series characteristics of grid point anomaly fluctuations in the continuous monitoring period, trace back to the source, and output the dynamic weight compensation value for the spatial interpolation model.

[0064] Specifically, when outputting dynamic weight compensation values, the process includes: extracting the phase displacement trajectory of the coupling feature vector over time within a preset continuous monitoring period. ;Establish With the parameters of the internal semivariance function of the interpolation algorithm The relationship model between Based on an adaptive feedback control algorithm, the displacement is converted into parameter correction instruction code data packets and transmitted in real time to the central processing unit of the processing system. This enables real-time compensation for systematic shifts in monitoring results across the entire region caused by sensor aging at automatic stations or changes in climate background. This step establishes a closed-loop feedback system of "self-diagnosis and self-repair." By performing trend evolution analysis on grid anomaly fluctuation deviation samples over multiple consecutive monitoring periods, the system can identify a trend of declining model accuracy (such as systematically lower measured values ​​due to a drop in battery voltage at automatic stations in a certain area). Subsequently, the potential shift of the semivariance function parameters is calculated using a reverse tracing model, and compensation values ​​are output in real time to adjust the range. or base value Online corrections enable the judgment model to adapt to changes in automatic monitoring network layout or the effects of slow climate shifts. This dynamic weight compensation mechanism avoids the cumbersome process of periodic retraining or recalibration required by traditional static interpolation models, ensuring the consistency of gridded monitoring products under the complex and ever-changing influences of farmland irrigation and meteorological drought.

[0065] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this invention, the specific implementation principles of this invention are further supplemented below with a specific application scenario.

[0066] Step 1: Site Data Quality Control and Daily Value Integration. In the data center of a provincial agricultural meteorological monitoring platform, the front-end acquisition module of the processing system receives hourly dielectric pulse signals uploaded by over 3,000 automatic water stations across the province in real time. When the system clock reaches 0:00 AM, the diurnal boundary trigger signal is activated. The central processing unit (CPU), based on preset thresholds of 3.5% and 52.0% and a time consistency criterion, uses a Grubbs test module to eliminate outlier values ​​caused by sensor freezing or animal contact. It then calculates the effective sample mean values ​​for 10 cm, 20 cm, and 30 cm soil layers for each station, thereby deriving the daily shallow soil volumetric water content value for that station, eliminating abnormal fluctuations at the single-station data level.

[0067] Step 2: Spatial Variation Structure Construction. The system collects daily data, latitude and longitude coordinates, and altitude from all stations across the province. The spatial registration unit maps all stations to a unified projected coordinate system, and the data assimilation module generates attribute feature vectors containing daily values, altitudes, and station spatial configurations. The CPU uses these vectors to calculate the experimental semivariogram function, and through statistical analysis, optimizes the range at the current moment to be 150 kilometers, with a base value of 12.0 (unit: %2). It also identifies that the principal anisotropy axis follows the regional terrain in an east-west direction, providing physical constraints for subsequent interpolation.

[0068] Step 3: Gridded Reconstruction and Bias Removal. When generating a 5km × 5km regular grid, the CPU decomposes the neighborhood of each grid point into a standard background field and a topographic disturbance field. Using the Kriging algorithm, the system identifies and filters out local sampling bias caused by the high water-holding capacity of several stations distributed in the river valley lowlands. Through signal reconstruction, the system successfully removes the "patchy pseudo-wetness" caused by local topography from the continuously distributed grid field, improving the contrast of the arid core area by more than two times.

[0069] Step 4: Second-order drought identification. When the system calculates that the co-metrics of a contiguous area is in the critical range, second-order decomposition is initiated. The sliding window mutation operator captures anomalous patches with significant contrast in the spatial domain. Through narrowband directional gradient spectrum analysis, it is found that the patches are distributed in the rain shadow area of ​​the windward slope, and the difference in moisture between the leeward and windward slopes is highly asymmetrical, and it highly coincides with the low precipitation cycle in time. The system determines that this is a real meteorological drought deficit signal, rather than an artifact caused by irrigation activities, and therefore automatically generates a "moderate drought" warning instruction label, and instructs the color mapper to highlight it in orange on the GIS thematic map.

[0070] Step 5: Adaptive Parameter Correction. After six months of continuous operation, the system detected a systematic positive bias trend in the grid anomaly deviation trajectories of 12 stations in the Northwest region. Reverse tracing model analysis determined that scaling on sensor probes at some stations in this region caused zero-point drift in dielectric constant measurements. Therefore, an automatic compensation command was issued, lowering the sill value of the semivariance function for this region in the interpolation algorithm by 1.5 and outputting a warning signal to prompt maintenance. This process ensures the stability of the gridded monitoring system under long-term unattended dynamic environments.

[0071] As can be seen, the soil volumetric water content spatial distribution modeling method described in the above embodiments achieves real-time dynamic validity screening of the original monitoring data of the stations through a multi-soil layer quality control process. By constructing a spatial variation structure constraint function, this invention solves the problem of continuity discontinuity in regional spatial field reconstruction caused by the discrete distribution of stations, transforming the complex regional heterogeneous water distribution process into a computable standardized grid field, thereby improving the geospatial resolution of water monitoring. Secondly, by introducing anomaly percentage calculation and temporal secondary decomposition identification mechanism, it is possible to perform fine-level feature extraction for local anomalies caused by meteorological drought accumulation or soil texture differences, effectively identifying spatial expression biases caused by topographic artifacts. Through the synthesis of soil moisture spatial enhancement grid set and high-dimensional geographic attribute spatial mapping decision, this invention maintains a high signal-to-noise ratio of monitoring products under complex local environmental disturbances and background climate fluctuations, enhancing the system's response sensitivity to regional initial drought signals. Finally, through reverse tracing and dynamic weight compensation mechanisms, closed-loop optimization of interpolation model parameters is achieved, solving the lag problem of traditional single-point analysis logic in dealing with changes in automatic station networks or performance changes of monitoring instruments. This invention not only ensures the spatial continuity of provincial regional water monitoring, but also optimizes the gradient expression within the drought evolution path through spatiotemporal coupling feature analysis, eliminating systematic errors such as uneven station density and sample bias, and significantly improving the quality, reliability, and decision-making efficiency of agricultural meteorological disaster monitoring.
