Attenuation Correction of Reflectivity for X-Band Dual-Polarization Radar
摘要
Abstract
Strong attenuation in rain affects the detection accuracy and application of the X-band radar. This paper aims to seek a method of attenuation correction for X-band dual-polarization radar in precipitation. Before correction, the radar data are pre-processed with quality controls after analyzing all the methods from the past works, an attenuation correction algorithm is developed which is based on the self-consistent method with constraints; finally some validation methods are studied. Some comparisons are made between the corrected composite reflectivity of the X-band radar and a nearby S-band radar observed at the same time; moreover, the corrected relationships between KDP vs. Zh and Ah vs. Zh are also similar to the theoretical values predicted by scattering simulation. In addition, the authors also compare the corrected reflectivity with the surface rain-gauge observations. The analysis results indicate that the corrected reflectivity is more significant than the uncorrected one; specially for the larger area of rainfall (including convective rainfall) using the above attenuation correction algorithm for X-band radar, rainfall amounts can be estimated with higher accuracy.关键词
