Abstract

12 Convective initiation (CI) nowcasting often has a low probability of detection (POD) and 13 a high false-alarm ratio (FAR) at sub-tropical regions where the warm-rain processes often 14 occur. Using the high spatial- and temporal-resolution and multi-spectral data from the 15 Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) on board Japanese new-generation geostationary satellite 16 Himawari-8, a stand-alone CI nowcasting algorithm is developed in this study. The 17 AHI-based CI algorithm utilizes the reflectance observations from channels 1 (0.47 μm ) and 7 18 (3.9 μm ), brightness temperature observations from infrared window channel 13 (10.4 μm ), the 19 dual-spectral differences between channels 10 (7.3 μm ) and 13, 13 and 15 (12.4 μm ), as well as 20 a tri-spectral combination of channels 11, 15 and 13, as CI predictors without relying on any 21 dynamic ancillary data (e.g., cloud type and atmospheric motion vector products). The 22 proposed AHI-based algorithm is applied to CI cases over Fujian province in the 23 Southeastern China. When validated by S-band radar observations, the CI algorithm 24 produced a POD as high as 93.33%, and a FAR as low as 33.33% for a CI case day that 25 occurred on 1 August 2015 over Northern Fujian. For over 216 CI events that occurred in a 26 three-month period from July to September 2015, the CI nowcasting lead time has a mean 27 value of ~64 minutes, with a longest lead time over 120 minutes. It is suggested that 28 false-alarm nowcasts that occur in the presence of capping inversion require further 29 investigation and algorithm enhancements.
基于Himawari高级成像观测的中国东南部夏季对流开始预报
在暖雨过程经常发生的亚热带地区,对流启动(CI)临近预报通常具有低探测概率(POD)和高虚警率(FAR)。利用日本新一代地球同步卫星16 Himawari-8搭载的15台先进Himawari成像仪(AHI)的高时空分辨率和多光谱数据,开发了一种独立的CI近播算法。17 AHI-based CI算法利用反射观测从通道1(0.47μm)和7 18(3.9μm),从红外窗口亮度温度观测通道13(10.4μm), 19频道10 dual-spectral差异(7.3μm), 13日13和15(12.4μm),以及20 tri-spectral频道11、15和13,CI预测不依赖任何21动态辅助数据(例如,云类型和大气运动矢量产品)。本文提出的基于ahi的算法应用于中国东南部福建省的CI病例。经s波段雷达观测验证,2015年8月1日发生在闽北地区的CI案例日25的POD值高达93.33%,FAR值低至33.33%。在2015年7月至9月26个月期间发生的216个CI事件中,CI临近预报提前时间的平均值为~64分钟,最长提前时间超过120分钟。研究表明,在覆盖反转的情况下,有28个虚警临近预报需要进一步研究和算法改进。
