  • 基于多谱特征构建稳定反演模型,避免分布参数过拟合。
  • 在短相干间隔内实现雨滴直径与下落速度的高精度反演。
  • 适合需要快速实时降水监测的气象雷达应用。

针对快速扫描单偏振X波段天气雷达的多普勒功率谱密度测量,提出一种降水反演逆问题解决方案。模型聚焦于短相干处理区间内可解释且稳定的量:径向风均值、径向风谱宽、反射率加权终端下落速度及平均体积直径。伽马雨滴谱参数作为隐变量保留在谱前向模型中,而非作为主要反演结果。似然分析表明,该逆问题对分布参数识别能力弱,而导出量更稳定。模拟数据实验对比了本文方法与依赖外部风信息的矩基反演方法;真实数据实验通过单次扫描平面位置指示器反演实现空间似然聚合,并与雷达覆盖区内两台雨滴谱仪进行33次扫描的时间序列对比。结果显示,分布参数应视为中间拟合变量而非最终输出。所提方法在非相干短记录操作下对平均体积直径和反射率加权终端下落速度具有最显著实际优势。空间聚合使每个多普勒谱仅含少量慢时间样本时仍可实现全扫描高效映射。即使谱拟合与时间演变合理,雷达与雨滴谱仪差异仍具物理意义。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The inverse problem of precipitation retrieval from Doppler power spectral density measurements of a fast-scanning single-polarization X-band weather radar is addressed. The formulation is developed around quantities that remain interpretable and stable across short coherent processing intervals: radial-wind mean, radial-wind spectral width, reflectivity-weighted terminal fall velocity, and median volume diameter. The gamma drop-size distribution parameters are retained as latent variables within the spectral forward model rather than reported as primary retrieval products. This choice is motivated by likelihood analyses showing that the inverse problem is weakly identifiable with respect to the latent distribution parameters, whereas the derived quantities remain substantially more stable. Simulated-data experiments compare the proposed approach with a moment-based retrieval using externally supplied wind information in the short-coherent-processing-interval regime. Real-data experiments demonstrate same-scan spatial likelihood pooling through a one-scan plan-position-indicator retrieval and 33-scan time-series comparisons against two disdrometers within the radar coverage region. The results show that the latent distribution parameters should be treated as intermediate fitting variables rather than primary end products. The proposed approach shows its clearest practical benefit for median volume diameter and reflectivity-weighted terminal fall velocity under incoherent short-record operation. Spatial pooling allows efficient full-scan mapping of both quantities when each Doppler spectrum contains only a few slow-time samples. Radar-disdrometer discrepancies remain physically meaningful even when the spectral fit and temporal evolution are reasonable.
