Description

A kind of method of seeking three volume scatterings for meteorology
Technical field
The present invention relates to the meteorology field, particularly a kind of method of seeking three volume scatterings for meteorology.
Background technology
Weather radar is strong convective weather to be monitored one of main tool with early warning.The electromagnetic wave of weather radar transponder pulse form, when electromagnetic wave runs into precipitation material (snowflake, raindrop and hail etc.), most of energy moves on, and the sub-fraction energy is arranged by the scattering to all the winds of precipitation material, and the energy of scattering is received by radar backward.Zrnic in 1987 find the meteorologic phenomena of three volume scatterings, and called after " three volume scatterings " is (TBSS), according to the theory of Zrnic, 1) ripple that sends of radar by strong hail class precipitation material strong scatter to ground downwards; 2) ripple that scatters to ground again by ground scatter to original precipitation material; 3) last, ripple returns radar again.
If the electromagnetic wave of radar emission runs into strong hail at the A point, as shown in Figure 1, after this, electromagnetic most of energy continues transmission forward, remainder is scattering towards periphery, wherein, the sub-fraction of scattering wave is returned radar, detects target A to show, some scattering earthward in addition, form close echo reflected back hail A again, the portion of energy of close echo is absorbed by A, and some continues to advance to radar in addition.Find out easily, when the intensity of hail A is very big, it is more long that the scattering wave that comes from hail A arrives the path on ground, the energy of ripple of getting back to hail A is just more weak, if only fall among Fig. 1 with BC(or BD) be that close echo dump energy in the border circular areas of radius can support this ripple and marches to radar, at this moment, radar the close echo signal on this part approach ground can be misread as along the electromagnetic wave sender to and weak echo E away from hail certain distance continued presence, F, G, and this distance arrives ground distance more than or equal to A in theory, be AF=h, AG=AC=AD〉AF, h=R * sin α, thus arrowband weak echo image appears in the FG scope.
Liao Yufang, Yu Xiaoding [1] adds up the trisome scattering phenomenon that 23 strong storms that occur in 11 strong convection events of China produce, find that each strong storm has all produced the strong hail of diameter more than 2cm, wherein having 4 strong storms to produce diameter is the above hail of 10cm.That is to say that if S-band a new generation weather radar produces the trisome scattering phenomenon, then the possibility of strong hail almost is 100%, follows the disastrous strong wind in ground simultaneously mostly.Statistics in the north, Hunan shows that three volume scatterings have all appearred in the above diameter hail of about 80% 2cm.Duration owing to TBSS mostly is between the 30-60min again, and the time lag of ground hail shooting is in the time that the trisome scattering occurs, so three volume scatterings can be used as strong hail warning index, moreover, D.S.ZRNIC[2] proved that three volume scatterings also have relation with the hail size, like this, three volume scatterings are played crucial effects for hail early warning in short-term.Whether yet the U.S. and China's strong hail algorithm of a new generation's weather radar are the strong reflection rate factors of check 50dBz expands to more than-20 ℃ of layer place height, and hit rate only is 70%, and the false declaration rate is 49%.The northern data in Hunan are added up, 2002 to 2005 in the period of in totally 19 hailstorms, 16 three volume scatterings are arranged, account for 84%,
The inventor finds to exist at least in the prior art following shortcoming and defect in realizing process of the present invention:
At present also do not have to detect automatically the method for three volume scatterings both at home and abroad, because three volume scatterings may appear in each elevation angle, artificial observation is wasted time and energy, and can have influence on the ageing of forecast again; And can not carry out timely early warning to hail disaster, cause economic loss and casualties.
