卫星和雷达资料在暴雨数值预报中的应用研究

采用美国风暴分析预报中心开发的中尺度模式（Advanced Regional Prediction System,ARPS）的资料分析系统ADAS（ARPS Data Analysis System）,把中国CINRAD/SA、SB多普勒雷达反射率、风云-2E卫星的红外和可见光资料引入模式初始场,利用高分辨率中尺度模式WRF对2012年7月21日中国华北地区暴雨过程进行数值模拟。结果表明：加入雷达和卫星资料的WRF数值模拟,由于修正了中低层水汽,对降水系统预报有一定的调整,预报的降水落区位置和降水量中心值更接近实况;同时加入卫星和雷达资料同化后,明显改善了WRF降水系统预报偏慢的情况。雷达与卫星资料同化对WRF模式降水预报影响不同,雷达资料影响的时间短,只在6 h内预报起作用,而卫星资料影响时间较长,能够改善24 h内的预报。加入卫星和雷达资料,修正了水汽场,使降水预报在开始时间、量级和范围上均有改善,更接近实况。     

FY-4A卫星闪电资料与ADTD闪电资料在四川省冕宁暴雨中的对比分析及数值模拟

FY-4A卫星闪电资料与地基ADTD(Advanced Direction and Time of arrival Detecting system)闪电资料对于研究暴雨等强对流天气具有一定的指示意义,通过对四川省冕宁暴雨个例的研究,对比分析了这两种闪电资料的差别,设计了将两种闪电资料引入数值预报模式的多组数值试验。结果表明：（1）两种闪电资料在不同地区有不同的探测效果,ADTD闪电资料范围更广且分散,FY-4A卫星监测到的闪电数量更密集、分布更集中;两种闪电资料在进入模式之后所转化成的代理雷达回波具有很好的一致性;对于低频次的闪电来说,ADTD闪电定位仪可能比FY-4A闪电成像仪探测效率更高。（2）引入任何一种闪电资料都对降水预报具有正效果,其中ADTD闪电资料的应用对于短时降水预报准确率的提高更为有效。（3）两种闪电资料对于云微物理量的调整作用,在不同的区域有不同效果,说明这两种闪电资料的分布不完全一致,揭示出这两种闪电资料具有一定的互补性。     

Assimilation of Radar and Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Data Using WRF-3DVar Combined with the Physical Initialization Method——A Case Study of a Mesoscale Convective System

Radar data, which have incomparably high temporal and spatial resolution, and lightning data, which are great indicators of severe convection, have been used to improve the initial field and increase the accuracies of nowcasting and short-term forecasting. Physical initialization combined with the three-dimensional variational data assimilation method(PI3 DVar_rh) is used in this study to assimilate two kinds of observation data simultaneously, in which radar data are dominant and lightning data are introduced as constraint conditions. In this way, the advantages of dual observations are adopted. To verify the effect of assimilating radar and lightning data using the PI3 DVar_rh method, a severe convective activity that occurred on 5 June 2009 is utilized, and five assimilation experiments are designed based on the Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model. The assimilation of radar and lightning data results in moister conditions below cloud top, where severe convection occurs; thus, wet forecasts are generated in this study.The results show that the control experiment has poor prediction accuracy. Radar data assimilation using the PI3 DVar_rh method improves the location prediction of reflectivity and precipitation, especially in the last 3-h prediction, although the reflectivity and precipitation are notably overestimated. The introduction of lightning data effectively thins the radar data, reduces the overestimates in radar data assimilation, and results in better spatial pattern and intensity predictions. The predicted graupel mixing ratio is closer to the distribution of the observed lightning,which can provide more accurate lightning warning information.     

Aerosol Data Assimilation Using Data from Fengyun-3A and MODIS:Application to a Dust Storm over East Asia in 2011

Aerosol optical depth(AOD) is the most basic parameter that describes the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols,and it can be used to indicate aerosol content. In this study, we assimilated AOD data from the Fengyun-3 A(FY-3 A) and MODIS meteorological satellite using the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation three-dimensional variational data assimilation system. Experiments were conducted for a dust storm over East Asia in April 2011. Each 0600 UTC analysis initialized a24-h Weather Research and Forecasting with Chemistry model forecast. The results generally showed that the assimilation of satellite AOD observational data can significantly improve model aerosol mass prediction skills. The AOD distribution of the analysis field was closer to the observations of the satellite after assimilation of satellite AOD data. In addition, the analysis resulting from the experiment assimilating both FY-3 A/MERSI(Medium-resolution Spectral Imager) AOD data and MODIS AOD data had closer agreement with the ground-based values than the individual assimilation of the two datasets for the dust storm over East Asia. These results suggest that the Chinese FY-3 A satellite aerosol products can be effectively applied to numerical models and dust weather analysis.     

扩展水凝物控制变量的雷达资料同化对台风“天鸽”数值模拟的影响

利用WRF(Weather Research and Forecast)模式及WRFDA(WRF model data assimilation system)系统,针对2017年台风“天鸽”个例通过同化雷达径向速度(Vr)和反射率因子(RF),研究水凝物控制变量的雷达资料同化对台风分析预报的影响。研究表明：雷达径向速度的直接同化有效地改进了模式初始场中台风涡旋区的中小尺度信息,分析场中产生了气旋性的风场增量,对模式背景场中的台风有显著增强作用。通过在传统控制变量中扩展针对水凝物的控制变量可有效地同化雷达反射率因子资料,对初始场的水物质进行调整,并对随后确定性预报的台风路径和强度都有一定的正效果。此外,相比没有水凝物控制变量的雷达同化试验,加入了水凝物控制变量的雷达资料同化试验降水预报效果更好。这为将我国近海的地基多普勒天气雷达用于台风初始化分析和预报提供了一定的技术支撑和保障。

Quality Assessment of FY-4A Lightning Data in Inland China

The Lightning Mapping Imager (LMI) equipped on the FY-4A (FengYun-4A) geostationary satellite achieves lightning positioning through optical imaging and has the advantages of high temporal resolution, high stability, and continuous observation. In this study, FY-4A LMI lightning event, group and flash data from April to August 2018 are selected, and their quality are assessed through qualitative and quantitative comparison with the ground-based Advanced Time of Arrival and Direction system (ADTD) lightning observation network data and the American International Space Station (ISS) lightning imaging sensor (LIS) data. The results show that the spatial distributions of FY-4A lightning are consistent with those of the ground-based ADTD and ISS LIS. The temporal variation in FY-4A lightning group frequency is consistent with that of ADTD stroke, which reflects that FY-4A LMI can capture the lightning occurrence in inland China. Quantitative statistics show that the consistency rate of FY-4A LMI and ISS LIS events is relatively high but their consistency rate is lower in terms of lightning group and flash data. Compared with the lightning observations by the ISS LIS and the ground-based ADTD, FY-4A LMI reports fewer lightning events in the Tibetan Plateau. The application of Tibetan Plateau lightning data requires further processing and consideration.     

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF 3DVAR AND ENSRF DIRECT ASSIMILATION OF RADAR DATA ON THE FORECAST OF A HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT

The present study designs experiments on the direct assimilation of radial velocity and reflectivity data collected by an S-band Doppler weather radar (CINRAD WSR-98D) at the Hefei Station and the reanalysis data produced by the United States National Centers for Environmental Prediction using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, the WRF model with a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data assimilation system and the WRF model with an ensemble square root filter (EnSRF) data assimilation system. In addition, the present study analyzes a Meiyu front heavy rainfall process that occurred in the Yangtze -Huaihe River Basin from July 4 to July 5, 2003, through numerical simulation. The results show the following. (1) The assimilation of the radar radial velocity data can increase the perturbations in the low-altitude atmosphere over the heavy rainfall region, enhance the convective activities and reduce excessive simulated precipitation. (2) The 3DVAR assimilation method significantly adjusts the horizontal wind field. The assimilation of the reflectivity data improves the microphysical quantities and dynamic fields in the model. In addition, the assimilation of the radial velocity and reflectivity data can better adjust the wind fields and improve the intensity and location of the simulated radar echo bands. (3) The EnSRF assimilation method can assimilate more small-scale wind field information into the model. The assimilation of the reflectivity data alone can relatively accurately forecast the rainfall centers. In addition, the assimilation of the radial velocity and reflectivity data can improve the location of the simulated radar echo bands. (4) The use of the 3DVAR and EnSRF assimilation methods to assimilate the radar radial velocity and reflectivity data can improve the forecast of precipitation, rain-band areal coverage and the center location and intensity of precipitation.

星地探测闪电在一次中尺度对流系统中的活动特征分析

为更好地发挥星地闪电探测资料在中尺度对流系统中的监测预警应用潜力,本文以2018年6月27日山东地区的一次中尺度对流系统为例,利用云顶温度、云顶降温率、雷达等资料与FY 4A闪电成像仪LMI（Lightning Mapping Imager）、ADTD（Advanced TOA and Direction system）闪电定位系统星地闪电探测资料,分析了星地闪电数据在中尺度对流系统中闪电分布特征及其与对流演变的关系,结果表明:星地探测闪电一致性较好,LMI相对位于对流云前方,星地闪电与降水区域吻合度较高。在系统发展初期,LMI超前于ADTD探测到闪电,且位于回波中心和前侧,回波垂直方向呈现出向前倾斜特征,这对于判识对流移动和演变趋势有较好的指示作用,在预报业务中可采用LMI的位置来辅助制作强对流落区预报。在成熟阶段,星地闪电频次出现跃增,正地闪比例较高,该时段山东多地发生冰雹灾害,LMI多出现在对流系统移动方向前方的弱回波或无回波区内,ADTD则更接近回波中心位置。合并阶段,部分LMI位于前方强回波区后部,与强回波区相对应。     

Experiments on the radar reflectivity data assimilation in the WRF-ARW model

Given are the results of numerical experiments on the radar reflectivity data assimilation in the nonhydrostatic WRF-ARW model. For this purpose, the procedure of three-dimensional variational data assimilation was used included as a separate block (WRF-3DVAR) in the WRF-ARW system. The experiments on the cyclic assimilation of radar information were carried out for ten days of summer of 2009. The data of six AKSOPRI complexes forming the Moscow ring of radar measurements were assimilated. The contribution of the radar reflectivity data assimilation to the quality of short-range precipitation forecasts was verified on the basis of the momentary and accumulated radar precipitation and total precipitation at the stations. It is obtained that the contribution of the radar reflectivity assimilation using the WRF-ARW algorithm to the precipitation forecast is close to neutral: the number of accurate forecasts increases by about 10%; however, the number of false alarms increases as well.     

RTTOV散射模块在FY-3 MWHS资料同化中的应用

一直以来,受同化系统中观测算子的限制,云区的卫星微波观测资料在使用时都常会做晴空假设,只考虑大气的吸收作用而忽略散射作用,从而会造成对大气中水汽含量的高估。为了克服这一缺点,文中设计了RTTOV微波散射模块在WRF 3DVAR系统中的应用方案,使得计算辐射能衰减的同时考虑大气的散射作用,并在此基础上通过4组试验进行了风云3 A星微波湿度计亮温以及多普勒雷达反射率因子的同化研究对比。结果表明：RTTOV微波散射模块的引入,能有效抑制晴空辐射模块对大气水汽含量的高估。若先同化雷达反射率因子后再继续同化卫星资料,会发现同化雷达后,同化区域内大气水凝物含量明显增加,受此影响同化卫星资料时大气的散射作用也会随之增大。并且雷达同化区域覆盖率越大,对降水预报的改善效果也愈明显。
