广州X波段双偏振相控阵天气雷达观测试验进展

Progress of Observation Experiment for X-band Dual Polarization Phased Array Radars in Guangzhou

  • 摘要: 为了弥补现有业务雷达的探测盲区,增强小尺度强对流天气监测能力,广州市气象部门自2017年开始组织开展X波段相控阵雷达(XPAR)布网观测试验,截至到2020年1月,已经建成5部具备双偏振功能的X波段相控阵雷达。X波段相控阵雷达通过一体化和模块化设计,体积小、运行稳定,可实现无人值守,但是对数据的传输和存储提出了更高的要求;相控阵雷达探测数据可靠,能够清晰地识别出融化层特征。快速扫描体制有利于天气系统的精细观测,利用其双偏振功能可以进一步观测到降水的相态演变过程。

     

    Abstract: To cover the detection blind area of existing operational radar and enhance the monitoring capability of meso-micro scale severe convective weather, Guangzhou Meteorological Bureau carry out an observation experiment since 2017. Five X-band dual polarization phased array radars (XPAR-D) have been built by January 2020. Based on integrated and modularization design, X-band Dual Polarization Phased Array Radars can use smaller antennas for a desired half-power beam width (which aids deployment and transportability and reduces costs) and realize unattended with stable operation, while higher requirements are put forward for data transmission and storage. The rapid scanning system of phased array radar is conducive to the f ine observation of weather system, and the evolution process of precipitation can be further observed by using its dual polarization function.
