This article uses reflectivity characteristics to identify convective gale weather. 6 promising identification parameters are proposed (CR, VIL, DVIL, SWP, DCRH and SPEED), and an automated identification algorithm for convective gale is established based on fuzzy logic principles. 6 typical cases are used to obtain probability distribution characters based on the statistics of volume scan data, and then it is determined that CR, VIL, DVIL and SWP that have more concentrated probability densities are used as the input variables of the fuzzy logic technique for the identification of the convective gale. According to the statistics, these parameters can effectively identify convective gale. The algorithm identifies 150 from 174 gale wind events in 6 weather processes, with a POD probability 86.21%.","PeriodicalId":6296,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Remote Sensing, Environment and Transportation Engineering","volume":"27 1","pages":"6033-6036"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78243920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Secondly, a modified volume scattering covariance matrix is proposed to better match the deorientation volume scattering.

Results as obtained showed that: 1. the amount of released SO2 increased with an increase of sulphur content in raw meals when temperature increases from 35 °C to 1450 °C; 2. a higher temperature is required to initiate SO2 releases when the sulphur content in raw meals is lower.
