Abstract

In Part 1 of this series (Garcia et al., 2022), we introduced a novel individual-based model for the simulation of dispersal flight of adult spruce budworm (SBW: Choristoneura fumiferana) and demonstrated the results of that model under real weather conditions for two nights in July 2013 on which SBW mass dispersal events were observed by weather radar in southern Quebec, Canada. Here, following the selection of one uncertain parameter value using empirical measurements, we used those radar observations for the quantitative calibration of two uncertain flight model variables in our individual-based SBW–pyATM model, one that describes the conversion of moth wingbeat to flight speed, and a second that allows the moth to conserve energy during flight. For these experiments, we adapted a grid-based metric from meteorology that has previously been used to calibrate and validate precipitation forecasts by comparison with radar data. Through thousands of flight simulations for the night of 15–16 July 2013, examining each of these parameters separately and in conjunction, we arrived at optimal values that produce a spatiotemporal distribution of SBW moth dispersal that most closely matches the radar observations for that night. We then applied those calibrated parameter values to simulations of SBW dispersal on the night of 14–15 July 2013 and found a lesser but still reasonable resemblance to weather radar observations on that night as well. These two parameters have significant effects on the speed, altitude, and distance of dispersal, and are thus critical to the goal of estimating when and where SBW males and females land, with subsequent effects on reproductive behavior and the spatial redistribution of SBW populations over a dispersal season.

云杉芽蛾(Choristoneura fumiferana)受天气影响的远距离传播建模。第 2 部分:利用雷达数据校准飞行模型
在本系列的第 1 部分(Garcia 等人,2022 年)中,我们介绍了一种基于个体的新型云杉芽虫成虫扩散飞行模拟模型(SBW:Choristoneura fumiferana),并演示了该模型在 2013 年 7 月加拿大魁北克南部天气雷达观测到 SBW 大规模扩散事件的两个夜晚的真实天气条件下的结果。在此,我们利用经验测量结果选择了一个不确定参数值,然后利用这些雷达观测结果对基于个体的 SBW-pyATM 模型中的两个不确定飞行模型变量进行了定量校准,其中一个变量描述了飞蛾振翅到飞行速度的转换,另一个变量允许飞蛾在飞行过程中保存能量。在这些实验中,我们采用了气象学中基于网格的度量方法,该方法以前曾被用于通过与雷达数据的比较来校准和验证降水预报。通过对 2013 年 7 月 15 日至 16 日夜间的数千次飞行模拟,对每个参数进行单独和组合检查,我们得出了最佳值,该值可产生与当晚雷达观测数据最接近的 SBW 飞蛾扩散时空分布。然后,我们将这些校准过的参数值用于模拟 2013 年 7 月 14-15 日夜间的 SBW 飞蛾扩散,结果发现与当晚天气雷达观测结果的相似度较低,但仍然合理。这两个参数对扩散的速度、高度和距离有重大影响,因此对估计雌雄鞘翅蛙降落的时间和地点这一目标至关重要,并将对繁殖行为以及鞘翅蛙种群在扩散季节的空间再分布产生后续影响。

期刊介绍: Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is an international journal for the publication of original articles and reviews on the inter-relationship between meteorology, agriculture, forestry, and natural ecosystems. Emphasis is on basic and applied scientific research relevant to practical problems in the field of plant and soil sciences, ecology and biogeochemistry as affected by weather as well as climate variability and change. Theoretical models should be tested against experimental data. Articles must appeal to an international audience. Special issues devoted to single topics are also published. Typical topics include canopy micrometeorology (e.g. canopy radiation transfer, turbulence near the ground, evapotranspiration, energy balance, fluxes of trace gases), micrometeorological instrumentation (e.g., sensors for trace gases, flux measurement instruments, radiation measurement techniques), aerobiology (e.g. the dispersion of pollen, spores, insects and pesticides), biometeorology (e.g. the effect of weather and climate on plant distribution, crop yield, water-use efficiency, and plant phenology), forest-fire/weather interactions, and feedbacks from vegetation to weather and the climate system.
