Networked USVs for Typhoon Observation: A Conceptual Framework

  • 摘要: 登陆和近海台风伴随的暴雨、大风和风暴潮等经常造成重大人员伤亡和财产损失,目前对台风的快速增强、路径突变和生成机制这三大难点科学问题的认识还存在不足,主要原因之一是台风全生命期内部及环境多要素原位(in situ)高时空分辨率观测资料的缺乏。 为了解决海上台风观测资料匮乏问题,中国科学院大气所无人艇团队自主研制了两款长航时半潜式无人艇,并开展了多次海上试验。为了全面系统地获取台风演变过程中气象和海洋多要素场变化的信息,本文提出无人艇组网观测台风的设想。 采用自动部署的太阳能无人艇和带探空设备的油电无人艇,在热带气旋频发和西太台风经过的南海海域构建一个无人艇组网观测系统,开展长期的台风观测试验。通过机动性强的太阳能无人艇获取海面气象水文多要素观测数据,使用油电艇载火箭探空技术获取台风内部大气边界层的廓线资料,组网观测能够实时获取海上热带气旋内部及其环境场的原位观测资料。对收集的同期卫星观测产品和再分析资料等进行验证对比分析,形成一套多个南海热带气旋的综合观测资料集,为数值预报模式资料同化和效果检验提供第一手资料,改进模式对台风定位定强以及暴雨和大风的预报能力。

     

    Abstract: Landfalling and offshore typhoons often cause significant casualties and property damage through associated hazards such as torrential rainfall, strong winds, and storm surges. Current understanding of three key scientific challenges, including rapid intensification, sudden track changes, and formation mechanisms, remains inadequate. One of the main reasons is the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution in situ observational data covering both internal typhoon dynamics and environmental factors throughout their complete lifecycle. To address the scarcity of marine typhoon observation data, the unmanned surface vehicle (USV) team from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has independently developed two long-endurance semi-submersible unmanned surface vehicles and conducted multiple sea trials. This paper proposes a novel concept of networked unmanned vehicle observation systems to comprehensively obtain meteorological and oceanic multi-element field information during typhoon evolution processes. Using automatically deployed solar powered USV and oil-electric powered USV with sounding equipment, a network observation system of USV is constructed in the South China Sea area where tropical cyclones occur frequently and typhoons pass through the Western Pacific, to conduct long-term typhoon observation experiments. The highly maneuverable solar-powered USVs will acquire multi-element observations data of sea surface meteorology and hydrology, and the oil-electric powered USV equipped with rocket-based sounding technology will obtain profile data of the atmospheric boundary layer within typhoons. The UAV networked observation system will enable real-time in situ observation data collection from both the internal structure of marine tropical cyclones and their ambient environmental fields. Concurrent satellite observation products and reanalysis data will undergo validation and comparative analysis with the collected data, forming a comprehensive observational dataset for multiple South China Sea tropical cyclones. This dataset will provide first-hand data for data assimilation in numerical prediction models and model performance evaluation, ultimately improving the models" capabilities in typhoon track forecasting, intensity estimation, and predictions of torrential rainfall and gale-force winds.
