This invention discloses a single-
station UHF
radar method for inverting
surface velocity at river cross sections based on RAMPJI. The method includes acquiring
radar echo data, dividing the observed flow field area into multiple equally spaced intervals according to the cross-sectional direction, estimating the main flow direction, back-projecting each
radial velocity component to the main flow direction to construct a candidate set of velocity values and eliminate outliers, then introducing a weighted
fusion mechanism for each
radial velocity angle pair within each partition to obtain stable observation values, and employing a Top-K strategy to weightedly fuse
effective angle pairs to achieve cross-sectional
surface velocity inversion. This invention achieves effective fusion of multi-angle
radial velocity observation information and inversion of cross-sectional
surface velocity. It can stably invert cross-sectional surface velocity under different
environmental noise, different flow direction offsets, and missing measurement conditions. It maintains high inversion accuracy and spatial continuity in complex river environments, and its cross-sectional surface velocity results show good consistency with the velocity values measured by an
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).
