远旁瓣引起的杂波干扰

分析了偏角馈入抛物面天线远旁瓣回波产生的机理,并经实验验证了远旁瓣回波的存在。结论显示：偏角馈入抛物面天线较中心馈入抛物面天线在抑制远旁瓣方面有优势,在做低仰角扫描时不会产生远旁瓣回波;但在高仰角时,也会产生远旁瓣回波。在多卜勒雷达的使用中,控制天线的转速有利于消除远旁瓣回波的影响。     

A STUDY ON VARIABLE QUANTITATIVE PRECIPITATION ESTIMATION USING DOPPLER RADAR DATA

With the pros and cons of the traditional optimization and probability pairing methods thoroughly considered, an improved optimal pairing window probability technique is developed using a dynamic relationship between the base reflectivity Z observed by radar and real time precipitation I by rain gauge. Then, the Doppler radar observations of base reflectivity for typhoons Haitang and Matsa in Wenzhou are employed to establish various Z-I relationships, which are subsequently used to estimate hourly precipitation of the two typhoons. Such estimations are calibrated by variational techniques. The results show that there exist significant differences in the Z-I relationships for the typhoons, leading to different typhoon precipitation efficiencies. The typhoon precipitation estimated by applying radar base reflectivity is capable of exhibiting clearly the spiral rain belts and mesoscale cells, and well matches the observed rainfall. Error statistical analyses indicate that the estimated typhoon precipitation is better with variational calibration than the one without. The variational calibration technique is able to maintain the characteristics of the distribution of radar-estimated typhoon precipitation, and to significantly reduce the error of the estimated precipitation in comparison with the observed rainfall.

"8.28"过程的多普勒雷达回波与水汽输送特征分析

利用多普勒天气雷达资料及NCEP＼NCAR逐日每6h再分析资料,对甘肃省2003年8月27～28日的连续性大到暴雨过程(简称“8．28”过程)进行了分析。结果表明：多普勒零速度线在测站两侧顺转程度不一致,是暖平流和大尺度辐合运动的叠加所造成的,这一结构为强降水的产生和维持提供了有利的水汽垂直输送和辐合上升运动;逆风区、中小尺度的辐合辐散都与强降水之间存在着密切的关系,是临近降水预报的重要指标;降水的区域和量级与水汽通量输送的大小及其辐合程度有关。     

多普勒雷达速度场缺测区域填补技术的数值模拟

针对多普勒天气雷达探测风场时,常因大面积无回波区的存在,对提取平均散度和平均形变信息的精度有较大影响。利用Sirmans建议的技术来模拟降水回波信号,得到含有0、1、2阶谐波的平面线性速度场并进行加噪处理,得到近乎真实的多普勒速度场。对模拟的平面线性速度场人为设定无回波区,利用VAD技术和迭代法对平面线性速度场做连续性缺口和非连续性缺口的迭代法填补。数值模拟结果表明:对于模拟的无噪声平面线性速度场,迭代法可以基本无误差填补连续性累积缺口在10°到180°的速度场无回波区;对连续性累积缺口,在σ_v=2m·s~(-1),SNR≥5 dB和SNR=20 dB,σ_v≤4 m·s~(-1)的情况下,连续性累积缺口在120°以内,迭代法能较高精度地填补速度场无回波区,填补后0、1、2阶谐波误差绝对值基本能控制在15%以内,80 km距离圈上缺口处迭代前后速度相对误差均在30%以内;对非连续性累积缺口为0°～180°的平面线性速度场,在附加不同噪声条件下,迭代法均可较好地填补累积缺口在180°以内的平面速度场,且80 km距离圈上缺口处迭代前后速度值误差均能控制在15%以内。说明利用迭代法填补多普勒速度场无回波区,填补效果较好,精度较高,这对改善从多普勒速度场中提取平均散度和平均形变信息的精度有极大的帮助作用。

Including spatial distribution in a data‐driven rainfall‐runoff model to improve reservoir inflow forecasting in Taiwan

Multi‐step ahead inflow forecasting has a critical role to play in reservoir operation and management in Taiwan during typhoons as statutory legislation requires a minimum of 3‐h warning to be issued before any reservoir releases are made. However, the complex spatial and temporal heterogeneity of typhoon rainfall, coupled with a remote and mountainous physiographic context, makes the development of real‐time rainfall‐runoff models that can accurately predict reservoir inflow several hours ahead of time challenging. Consequently, there is an urgent, operational requirement for models that can enhance reservoir inflow prediction at forecast horizons of more than 3 h. In this paper, we develop a novel semi‐distributed, data‐driven, rainfall‐runoff model for the Shihmen catchment, north Taiwan. A suite of Adaptive Network‐based Fuzzy Inference System solutions is created using various combinations of autoregressive, spatially lumped radar and point‐based rain gauge predictors. Different levels of spatially aggregated radar‐derived rainfall data are used to generate 4, 8 and 12 sub‐catchment input drivers. In general, the semi‐distributed radar rainfall models outperform their less complex counterparts in predictions of reservoir inflow at lead times greater than 3 h. Performance is found to be optimal when spatial aggregation is restricted to four sub‐catchments, with up to 30% improvements in the performance over lumped and point‐based models being evident at 5‐h lead times. The potential benefits of applying semi‐distributed, data‐driven models in reservoir inflow modelling specifically, and hydrological modelling more generally, are thus demonstrated.

Measurement of stream cross section using ground penetration radar with Hilbert–Huang transform

This study presents a new method to measure stream cross section without having contact with water. Compared with conventional measurement methods which apply instruments such as sounding weight, ground penetration radar (GPR), used in this study, is a non‐contact measurement method. This non‐contact measurement method can reduce the risk to hydrologists when they are conducting measurements, particularly in high flow period. However, the original signals obtained by using GPR are very complex, different from studies in the past where the measured data were mostly interpreted by experts with special skill or knowledge of GPR so that the results obtained were less objective. This study employs Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT) to process GPR signals which are difficult to interpret by hydrologists. HHT is a newly developed signal processing method that can not only process the nonlinear and non‐stationary complex signals, but also maintain the physical significance of the signal itself. Using GPR with HHT, this study establishes a non‐contact stream cross‐section measurement method with the ability to measure stream cross‐sectional areas precisely and quickly. Also, in comparison with the conventional method, no significant difference in results is found to exist between the two methods, but the new method can considerably reduce risk, measurement time, and manpower. It is proven that the non‐contact method combining GPR with HHT is applicable to quickly and accurately measure stream cross section. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
