优化Z—R关系及其在北京地区面雨量估测中的应用

运用最优化方法,选取北京市新一代天气雷达2007年5场降雨的基数据资料与对应的地面雨量计资料进行Z—R关系研究,对比由雨量计观测值和雷达估测值插值得到的面雨量分布情况。结果表明：采用缺省的Z—R关系估算出的区域面雨量普遍偏小很多,优化后雷达估测的雨强分布与雨量站点测量的雨强分布更接近,且雷达定量估测区域面雨量的精度有了...     

1311号超强台风“尤特”雷达产品异常解析

超强台风"尤特"登录期间,阳江新一代天气雷达产品呈现地物凸显、速度模糊的异常现象,该异常回波会使天气预报员对雷达回波发展趋势做出错误判断。本文通过雷达基数据的反演,结合当地中尺度自动气象站资料,从雷达产品算法角度解释了地物凸显和速度模糊的原因。针对地物加强,提出了通过动态计算噪声来抑制回波强度和使用反射率垂直廓线识别地物的两种解决办法;针对速度模糊,通过使用退模糊算法和不使用退模糊算法得到的速度产品做对比分析,提出了强台风天气时速度产品使用的建议,以便预报员更加合理的使用雷达产品。     

Efficient Storage of Weather Radar Data

Weather radars produce large amounts of data and this has important implications for the archiving and analysis of data. The need for methods to deal with weather radar data sets will only increase as the United States National Weather Service (NWS) continues deployment of its 137 WSR-88D radars as part of the NEXRAD program. In this article we describe a compression and archiving strategy for weather radar data and present results for 62 days of reflectivity data from a radar operated by the NWS, as well as results for 60 days of reflectivity data for a radar operated by the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia. In their original format, these two sets require 60 GB of storage. In the format we describe, they require 4.8 GB and the data is portable across many platforms. The software for manipulating the converted data is simple, efficient, and easy to implement in C or Fortran. The savings in disk space and reduction in reading time compare favorably with what is attainable with deflation, the algorithm used in the popular gzip compression program. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

天气雷达网络的进展

天气雷达在现代气象综合观测系统中起着非常重要的作用,雷达网络能够覆盖大的空间范围,有利于雷达间的数据融合,可以更为精细地观测不同尺度的天气过程。概述了天气雷达网络技术及其应用进展,包括收发分置双(多)基地雷达网络,美国的NEXRAD和TDWR网络、欧洲的OPERA计划和中国的CINRAD网络,最后介绍最新发展的CASA网络雷达系统。较为详尽地介绍CASA网络的端对端系统、DCAS模式和数据产品,并与NEXRAD的性能进行比较。CASA能够观测中小尺度强对流系统更细微的变化,同时也是S/C波段雷达网络的有益补充。S/C波段大功率长程雷达网络与X波段小功率短程雷达网络的结合及其资料的相互
