The Doppler weather radar in China is being updated, and has the function of double polarization gradually. The updated Doppler radar can provide information about the shape, composition, phase and the like of the hydrogel, which is beneficial to further understanding, quantification and pre-predictionAnd (5) measuring weather. Single polarization doppler radar can only measure the reflectivity factor Z, radial velocity V and velocity spectrum width SW. The radial velocities V and SW measured by doppler radar represent the mean and standard deviation, respectively, of the radial velocity of the scatterer. The reflectivity factor Z, while providing microscopic physics information directly, clearly does not fully characterize complex clouds and precipitation microscopic physics, and therefore efforts and attempts have been made to increase the number of radar measurements to better understand and characterize weather conditions through frequency, wavelength, polarization diversity. The upgraded double-polarization radar also has the following products: differential reflectanceCross-correlation coefficient->Differential phase shift->Differential phase shift->Etc., these radar data have not been fully utilized. If the radar data can accurately classify the condensate, severe weather detection and early warning and quantitative precipitation estimation and prediction can be improved to a great extent.
In China, with the development of radar cooperative networking technology, an X-band dual-polarization radar is gradually put into service application, and the X-band dual-polarization radar has an increasing effect on quantitative precipitation estimation, particle phase identification and the like. How to classify the condensate accurately, scholars at home and abroad put forward a lot of solutions, wherein the fuzzy logic principle forms the basis of the particle phase state recognition algorithm. In the application of the particle phase recognition algorithm, an inaccurate particle phase recognition result is caused due to errors possibly existing in radar measurement and antenna beam broadening at a longer distance.

The 6 variables involved in the aggregation operation are respectively: horizontal polarization reflectivity factor after attenuation correctionDifferential reflectivity after attenuation correction>Cross-correlation coefficient of radial smoothing>、/>Standard deviation of the horizontal polarization reflectivity factor SD (Z) and standard deviation of the differential phase shift SD (+)>). The method adopts the following addition polymerization formula:
the method mainly distinguishes 10 radar echoes: (1) Ground clutter, including clutter due to anomalous propagation; (2) a biological scatterer; (3) dry snow; (4) wet snow; (5) a crystal; (6) aragonite; (7) Large drops, which refer to rain water, the size distribution of which tends to be large drops; (8) light and medium rain; (9) heavy rain; (10) a mixture of rain and hail.

Two black lines represent the top and bottom of the melt layer, respectively. Three black curves represent radar beams with radar transmit elevation angles of 0 °, 0.5 ° and 1 °. The four black dot dashed lines represent the determination of the tilt ranges Rbb, rb, rt and Rtt from the geometrical projections of the melt layer top and bottom heights Ht and Hb intersecting radar beams at 0 °, 0.5 ° and 1 ° radar emission elevation angles.

The black dot dashed lines represent the tilt ranges Rbb, rb, rt and Rtt, and the two horizontal, thick solid lines represent the heights of the bottom and top of the molten layer, respectively. Corresponds to the geometric projection from the radar beam onto the substantially sloped ablation layer. The heights are shown in table 3, allowing the following radar echoes to occur over five tilt range intervals:
TABLE 3 Classification criteria
Based on the classification standard of table 3, each aggregate value a of the 10 radar echoes is ranked from high to low, and the echo type represented by the maximum aggregate value is the classification result.
S7, in order to check whether the result is reasonable, a set of hard thresholds is used to reduce the number of obvious error category assignments. For example, if Z is 40 dBZ, identifying hail is misclassified. In this case, the algorithm accepts the radar echo class with the next highest aggregate value. As shown in table 4, an empirical "hard threshold" is specified for suppressing significant errors.
TABLE 4 empirical "hard threshold" for suppression of obvious false designations "
The method can identify important precipitation categories (hail, heavy rain, and attribute of the melting layer) and simultaneously reduce obvious misclassification to the greatest extent. Improvements have been made to achieve this goal.
The first place of improvement was the probability of trust, which can quantify the data quality of each radar variable. Beam filling non-uniformity, attenuation, statistical errors, partial beam blocking, and noise all affect the quality of the classification scheme. In the fuzzy logic scheme, the influence of all the factors on radar measurement is measured by using a trapezoidal function and additional weights, and data with poor quality are endowed with lower credibility probability, and data with higher quality are endowed with higher credibility probability.
The second place of improvement is to add a hard threshold, which mainly plays a role of 'leak detection and deficiency repair', and reduces the number of obvious error category assignment.
The following example uses data from the Chengdu long-range YW-X3-B model X-band dual-polarization Doppler weather radar, data time 2019, 10 months, 24 days 13:59 (Beijing time). As shown in fig. 3 (a) to 3 (f), the base data PPI is at an elevation angle of 7.5 °. From the slave、/> and />In the PPI plot of (c), a significant melting layer can be observed.
As shown in fig. 4, the temperature profile and the melting layer alignment chart are the probe data, the abscissa indicates the temperature, and the ordinate indicates the height. Two thick solid lines represent the top and bottom heights of the melt layer, respectively. The data obtained in the vicinity of the Wenjiang observation station at 2019, 10, 24, 20:00 (Beijing) are shown as thin black solid lines indicating temperature. From the figure, the top of the melting layer is intersected with a temperature profile line of 0 ℃ to verify the effectiveness of the melting layer identification algorithm. As shown in fig. 5, the particle phase recognition result is shown.
The results of this process were compared to the HCA product of NOAA in the United states. This time was used with dual polarized radar data from the city of oklahoma, usa, time 2015, month 16, day 22:42 (universal time). As shown in fig. 6 (a) to 6 (f), the elevation angle is 0.5 ° base data PPI.
As shown in fig. 7 (a) and 7 (b), the particle phase recognition result obtained using this algorithm is substantially identical to that of the us HCA product.
