Description

Lightning Warning method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the lightening detection technical field, relate in particular to a kind of Lightning Warning method and device based on the Broadband interferometer principle.
Background technology
Lightning Disaster is one of serious disaster, can cause forest and oil depot fire, cause power supply, communication information system fault or damage, Aero-Space, mine and hi-tech that some are important and responsive equipment are caused a significant threat, also usually cause casualties.Because Lightning disservice is huge, cause disaster rapidly, and time and space that thunder and lightning occurs have very large randomness, thereby brought great difficulty to its research, forecast and control.According to conservative estimation, the thousands of people of casualties that China causes because of damage to crops caused by thunder every year, direct economic loss surpasses several hundred million units, and the indirect economic loss that causes thus and impact are difficult to estimate, so Lightning Disaster has fed through to the every aspect of all trades and professions and people's lives.Particularly in recent years, affected by the overall background of global warming, the strong convective weather frequent occurrence, local, extreme weather events odds increases greatly, therefore along with the development of national economy with society, higher, widely requirement has been proposed for lightning hazard forecasting and defence.
Thunder and lightning often results from the Convective Weather process, and when the endoatmosphere produces strong convection current, the cloud body will be charged, and this process is referred to as the electrifying process of thundercloud, when in the cloud or the electric field intensity between cloud ground will discharge after acquiring a certain degree.Electrify-discharge process is accompanied by whole thunderstorm evolution, thus form the initial stage at thundercloud, and the full-fledged stage of thundercloud, discharge process all can produce electromagnetic radiation very strong and that frequency range is very wide, and these electromagnetic radiation are also referred to as " atmospheric electricity ".When occuring, thunder and lightning can supervene the multiple effects such as sound, light, electromagnetic field, this is so that the monitoring of thunder and lightning and early warning become possibility, most lightning monitoring equipment just is based on the various effects of thunder and lightning generation and surveys lightning, realizes the early warning to lightening activity.In fact, before thunder and lightning produces, in the thundercloud electrifying process, can form the spark discharge of a lot of small scales in the cloud, can produce the electromagnetic radiation noise of frequency distribution very wide (from several kHz to GHz), utilize the generation of the early warning thunder and lightning that these electromagnetic radiation can be as early as possible.
The application of lightning monitoring early warning system (or device) is very extensive, mainly has the multistation networking and realizes the monitoring of lightening activity on a large scale and the monitoring and warning dual mode that local lightening activity is realized at single station.The principle of work of multistation networking mode is by surveying the multiple effects such as the sound supervened when thunder and lightning occurs, light, electromagnetic field, utilize the location technologies such as crossed loops, time of arrival differ from, determine the when and where that thunder and lightning occurs, thereby realize the monitoring and warning of lightening activity on a large scale.This type systematic is such as the lightning positioning system of in the sky weather satellite, ground, based on SAFIR (Surveillance et d ' Alerte Foudre par Interferometrie Radioelectrique) lightning detection system of principle of interference etc.
The detecting devices at single station equally also is the effects such as the sound that utilizes thunder and lightning to produce, light, electromagnetic field, determine whether to have the generation of thunder and lightning, and utilize several different methods estimation thunder and lightning to the distance of acquisition station, determine to have occured the time of origin of thunder and lightning and scene (orientation) etc., realize the detecting early-warning of peripheral region lightening activity centered by acquisition station.This type systematic comprises the lightening detection instrument, atmosphere average electric field instrument, thunder and lightning warning horn, lightning interferometer etc.
Lightning is interfered localization method, is to utilize lightning magnetic radiation signal to arrive phase differential between a plurality of antennas, determines the orientation of radiation source.Lightning interferometer such as single website passes through three not quadrature baselines of the formation of the short antenna on same straight line, just can determine that radiation source is with respect to position angle and the elevation angle of our station.In the narrow-band interference localization method in early days, adopt the narrow band electromagnetic radiation signal that receives a certain particular frequency range to realize, along with the breakthrough on the high-speed high capacity digitized record equipment and technology, sample frequency and writing time length allowed the lightning magnetic radiation is carried out time domain measurement in the wider frequency section, Shao X.M. in 1996 have proposed the model of Broadband interferometer first, and Ushio has developed the lightning Broadband interferometer system that is used for two-dimensional localization on this basis separately in 2000 in, Dong Wansheng in 1997 afterwards.
Lightning Broadband interferometer system is with the broadband electromagnetic radiation signal of very high sample frequency Direct Sampling from antenna, by these signals are carried out Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), obtain the narrow band signal of a series of different frequencies, so just be equivalent to have the narrow-band interference instrument system of a plurality of different length baselines.This will be so that the selection of broadband interference system location frequency be more flexible, and it is simple compact that system architecture becomes, and can also obtain broader frequency spectrum information when the lightning electromagnetic radiation source is positioned, thereby become the important tool of lightning detection and research.
Because strong convective weather betides small mesoscale system, it is little to have a space scale, and the characteristics that life cycle is short have very strong local and sudden.Though there is at present multiple lightening detection system can monitor lightening activity, and the generation that the electromagnetic field that these lightening detection systems produce when all utilizing thunder and lightning to occur or optical phenomenon come the Detection location thunder and lightning is such as weather satellite, lightning positioning system, SAFIR lightning detection system etc.These lightning monitoring systems are suitable for the monitoring of region lightening activity on a large scale, and then there is certain limitation in the lightening activity monitoring and warning in a certain some areas, so be difficult to accomplish that some areas thunder and lightning occurs giving warning in advance or forecasting.
Multiple device for local Lightning Warning is also arranged at present, such as the lightening detection instrument at single station, atmosphere average electric field instrument (although there are at present a lot of device titles different, but all based on this principle), utilize the thunder and lightning warning horn of principle of corona discharge and based on the Simple thunderstorm predicting devices of two-band Lightning electromagnetic radiation principle, or utilize product that is combined to form of these devices etc., can say item, of a great variety.But as the device of local Lightning Warning, the said equipment all has limitation separately.Lightening detection instrument such as single station, this is classical lightening detection equipment, and the orientation that the lightning that utilizes the crossed loops technology to determine occurs belongs to the equipment that just can detect thunder and lightning after thunder and lightning occurs, this equipment is mainly used in the multistation group network system, realizes the monitoring of lightening activity on a large scale.Although it can determine the orientation that lightning occurs, but single station system can't effectively determine the distance that lightning occurs, although people adopt several different methods to attempt to solve the problem of single observer ranging, as utilize power, sky wave and earthwave time of arrival phase differential, electromagnetism (light) signal and the sound (thunder) poor, Electric and magnetic fields of signal to differ from etc. time of arrival, but effect is all undesirable; Atmosphere average electric field instrument (comprising the equipment that utilizes the corona current principle) is although can just monitor electrical activity in the cloud before thunder and lightning occurs, but be subjected to the larger limitation of surrounding environment influence, and monitoring range little (about 10km), when detecting thunder and lightning nearby, forewarning function is limited; Although the Simple thunderstorm predicting devices detection range based on two-band Lightning electromagnetic radiation principle is far away, can be early early warning lightning, and can reject preferably undesired signal, solve the problem of estimation thunder and lightning distance; Lightning Broadband interferometer system can survey lightning faint discharge activities in the front cloud occurs, the generation of early warning thunder and lightning early, also can utilize its wide band feature, very effectively identify, get rid of the undesired signal of non-radiation of lightening discharge signal, but this difficult problem of range estimation when still well not solving the work of single station.

In fact, with interior lightening activity, can be described as new line as seen for 10km, also can hear thunder, the early warning meaning of equipment is little, and Lightning Warning equipment more should be conceived to the early warning of lightening activity at a distance.Moreover the yardstick of local thunderstorm generally has ten to tens kilometers yardstick, and therefore, this embodiment technical scheme is well positioned to meet the requirement of lightening activity range estimation precision.
