Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of meteorological information technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for short-term precipitation forecasting based on high spatiotemporal resolution multi-source observation fusion. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional short-term precipitation forecasts typically rely on operational radar mosaics, with a temporal resolution of approximately 6 minutes and a spatial resolution of approximately 1 km × 1 km. This makes it difficult to depict the rapid evolution of convective precipitation on a minute-scale basis, hindering the needs for refined operational scheduling and rapid early warning. In recent years, precipitation observation methods have diversified, including dual-polarization weather radar, X-band phased array radar, and high-density rain gauges. However, these different observation devices vary significantly in temporal and spatial resolution and observational physical mechanisms, resulting in heterogeneous and asynchronous observational data. Existing methods struggle to jointly utilize this observational information on a minute-scale basis, thus leading to poor accuracy in weather warnings, especially for severe convective weather. Summary of the Invention

The potential diffusion model is constructed using deep learning, which integrates radar echoes with the potential representation of the high-quality precipitation field, and generates precipitation in the potential space through a conditional diffusion mechanism.

X-band phased array radar 1-minute reflectivity and the 1-minute precipitation intensity of ground rain gauges ; Using the target generation time T as a reference, the multi-source observation data is aligned to time T through time interpolation. For operational large radar data, the echo motion vector field (u,v) is first calculated based on the pre-selected first few observations, and then the most recent time value is adsorbed to time T based on (u,v) using motion compensation time interpolation. For X-band phased array radar data and ground rain gauge data, the most recent time value is used to align to time T. The data is then resampled to a unified, preset high-resolution grid to ensure spatial consistency.

10. A short-term precipitation forecasting device based on high spatiotemporal resolution multi-source observation fusion, characterized in that, include: The minute-level precipitation grid product generation module is used to acquire multi-source observation data with different spatiotemporal resolutions, unify the multi-source observation data onto a minute-level high-resolution grid, and use physical motion information and rain gauge observations for calibration to generate a high-quality precipitation field. The latent generation model extrapolation forecast module based on conditional flow matching is used to perform short-term precipitation forecasts based on the high-quality precipitation field and a pre-established latent diffusion model. The latent diffusion model is constructed through deep learning, which integrates radar echoes with the latent representation of the high-quality precipitation field, and completes precipitation generation in the latent space through a conditional diffusion mechanism.
