光流融合方法在复杂地形区分钟级降水临近预报中的应用

Application of optical-flow fusion in minute-scale precipitation nowcasting over complex terrain

  • 摘要: 为提高复杂地形区0—2 h降水临近预报精度,本文融合循环全对场变换RAFT (Recurrent All-pairs Field Transforms)光流与经典的Farneback稠密光流,并提出“物理–数据双驱动”公里–分钟级光流融合方法(Fused),该方法将RAFT数据驱动光流场与Farneback稠密光流场进行加权融合,采用四阶龙格–库塔法(RK4)四步积分进行高精度平流外推,并构建残差AR(2)模型与Kalman误差反馈机制抑制强度漂移,得到逐10 min外推降水场。模型以2022—2024年5—9月中国区域5 km多源融合分析产品为训练样本,以2025年大别山地区45次独立降水过程为检验样本,从强度、空间结构、客体形态三个方面进行评估。结果表明:在120 min预报时效内,Fused方法的均方根误差为0.55 mm,较单独使用RAFT方法与Farneback方法分别降低19%与34%;雨区相关系数达0.51;基于对象的诊断评估显示,对象相似度为0.73,面积膨胀小于10%,质心漂移低于5 km;1 h雨区临界成功指数达0.42,2 h预报仍保持业务可用水平。融合光流场平均绝对散度为2.8×10−5 s−1,相对误差小于5%,满足质量守恒近似要求,验证了外推雨带在强度演变上的物理合理性以及该降水临近预报的可靠性。

     

    Abstract: To improve the accuracy of 0–2 h precipitation nowcasting over complex terrain, a kilometer- and minute-scale optical-flow fusion framework (Fused) driven by both physics and data principles is proposed, which integrates the Recurrent All-Pairs Field Transforms (RAFT) optical flow with the classical Farneback dense optical flow. This method performs a weighted fusion of the RAFT data-driven optical flow field and the Farneback dense optical flow field, employs a four-step fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) integration scheme for high-accuracy advection extrapolation, and constructs a residual AR(2) model with Kalman error feedback to suppress intensity drift, thereby generating 10-minute-interval extrapolated precipitation fields. The model is trained on the 5-km multi-source merged precipitation analysis product over China from May to September during 2022–2024, and independently validated against 45 precipitation events in 2025 over the Dabie Mountain region, with evaluations conducted from the perspectives of intensity, spatial structure, and object morphology. Verification results show that, within the 120 min forecast lead time, the Fused method achieves an RMSE of 0.55 mm, representing reductions of 19% and 34% compared with the RAFT and Farneback methods, respectively; the rain-area correlation coefficient reaches 0.51. The object-based diagnostic evaluation reveals an object similarity of 0.73, area expansion below 10%, and centroid displacement less than 5 km. The critical success index (CSI) for 1-h rain areas reaches 0.42, while the 2-h forecast remains operationally usable. The mean absolute divergence of the fused optical flow field is 2.8×10−5 s−1, with a relative error below 5%, satisfying the mass conservation approximation, which ensures the physical rationality of intensity evolution and the reliability of the nowcast.
