Abstract

A unipolar ground-based weather radar is a widely-used instrument for rainfall measurement. These radar measurements, however, need to be calibrated for more accurate rainfall estimation. This article introduces a new calibration approach using time-stepwise processing of reflectivity–rainfall rate (\(Z{-}R\)) relationship. Based on the previous work utilizing the radar–rainfall relationship, this article hypothesizes that the rainfall measurement from a ground based radar are affected by the distance from radar, altitudes and rainfall time duration. Unipolar ground-based radar data sets for two consecutive years with 77 occurrences of rainfall from 39 stations in calibration window of three hours as well as the corresponding rainfall measured from registered rain gauges were used in this study. The results indicated that it is better to use the radar–rainfall relationship \(Z=aR^{b}\) in view of the altitude effect (\(H\)) and empirical coefficient (\(c\)), such that \(Z=aR^{b}H^{c}\). The changes in the distance from the radar and duration of precipitation were evidently significant. For radar–rainfall relationship individually, the values of the determination coefficient \(R^{2}\) made up from 0.88 to 0.97, and those for this relationship in view of the altitude effect (\(H\)) were from 0.70 to 0.97. It is therefore concluded that the use of other effective parameters (distance from radar, altitude and rainfall time duration) leads to optimum accuracy of the \(Z{-}R\) relationship.

雷达-降雨关系分析的新校准公式
摘要 单极地基气象雷达是一种广泛使用的降雨测量仪器。然而,为了更准确地估计降雨量,需要对这些雷达测量值进行校准。本文介绍了一种利用反射率-降雨率(\(Z{-}R\))关系的分时处理的新校准方法。基于以往利用雷达-降雨量关系的工作,本文假设地面雷达的降雨量测量受雷达距离、海拔高度和降雨持续时间的影响。本研究使用了连续两年的单极地基雷达数据集,其中包括 39 个站点在三小时校准窗口内出现的 77 次降雨,以及登记雨量计测得的相应降雨量。结果表明,考虑到高度效应(\(H\))和经验系数(\(c\)),使用雷达-降雨关系 \(Z=aR^{b}\)更好,即 \(Z=aR^{b}H^{c}\)。雷达距离和降水持续时间的变化明显。对于单独的雷达-降雨关系,确定系数 \(R^{2}\)的值从 0.88 到 0.97 不等,而考虑到高度效应(\(H\))的这一关系的确定系数的值从 0.70 到 0.97 不等。因此可以得出结论,使用其他有效参数(与雷达的距离、高度和降雨持续时间)可以使 \(Z{-}R\ )关系达到最佳精度。
