英文摘要 | An experimental field study of wind-induced bias in precipitation measurements was conducted from September 2010 to April 2015 at a grassland site (99 degrees 52.90' E, 38 degrees 16.1'N; 2980 m) in the Hulu watershed in the Qilian Mountains, on the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau, in China. The experiment included (1) an unshielded Chinese standard precipitation gauge (CSPG(UN); orifice diameter = 20 cm, height = 70 cm), (2) a single Alter shield around a CSPG (CSPG(SA)), (3) a CSPG in a pit (CSPG(PIT)) and (4) a Double-Fence International Reference (DFIR) with a Tretyakovshielded CSPG (CSPG(DFIR)). The catch ratio (CR) used the CSPG(DFIR) as a reference (CR = CSPG(X)/CSPG(DFIR), %; X denotes UN, SA or PIT). The results show that the CSPG(SA), CSPG(PIT) and CSPG(DIFR) caught 0.9, 4.5 and 3.4% more rainfall; 7.7, 15.6 and 14.2% more mixed precipitation (snow with rain, rain with snow); 11.1, 16.0 and 20.6% more snowfall and 2.0, 6.0 and 5.3% more precipitation (of all types), respectively, than the CSPG(UN) from September 2012 to April 2015. The CSPG(PIT) and CSPG(DFIR) caught 3.6 and 2.5% more rainfall; 7.3 and 6.0% more mixed precipitation; 4.4 and 8.5% more snowfall; and 3.9 and 3.2% more total precipitation, respectively, than the CSPGSA. However, the CSPG(DFIR) caught 1.0% less rainfall; 1.2% less mixed precipitation; 3.9% more snowfall and 0.6% less total precipitation than the CSPG(PIT). From most to least precipitation measured, the instruments ranked as follows: for rain and mixed precipitation, CSPG(PIT) > CSPG(DFIR) > CSPG(SA) > CSPG(UN); for snowfall, CSPG(DFIR) > CSPG(PIT) > CSPG(SA) > CSPG(UN). The CR vs. 10m wind speed for the period of precipitation indicated that with increasing wind speed from 0 to 8.0ms(-1), the CR(UN/DFIR)Z and CRSA/DFIR for rainfall decreased slightly. For mixed precipitation, the wind speed showed no significant effect on CRUN/DFIR and CRSA/DFIR below 3.5ms(-1). For snowfall, the CRUN/DFIR and CRSA/DFIR vs. wind speed showed that CR decreased with increasing wind speed. The precipitation measured by the shielded gauges increased linearly relative to that of the unshielded gauges. However, the increase in the ratio of the linear correlation should depend on specific environmental conditions. A comparison of the wind-induced bias indicates that the CSPG(PIT) could be used as a reference gauge for rain, mixed and snow precipitation events at the experimental site. As both the PIT and DFIR effectively prevented wind from influencing the catch of the precipitation gauge, the CRPIT/DFIR had no relationship with wind speed. Cubic polynomials and exponential functions were used to quantify the relationship between catch ratio and wind speed. For snow, for both event and daily scales, the CRUN/DFIR and CRSA/DFIR were significantly related to wind speed; while for rain and mixed precipitation, only the event scale showed a significant relationship. |
