Abstract:

Using the data of aircraft precipitation enhancement (APE) from 2013 to 2017 in He'nan province, the rationality and applicability of CA-FCM method in the APE effect inspection was investigated, and the relationships between the relative precipitation enhancement rate (RPER) and season, the physical quantity of inspection, vertical integrated liquid water were analyzed.The result shows that the application of CA-FCM in APE effect inspection in He'nan province can obtain a quantitative and reasonable effect.The RPERs of most operations range from 0% to 40%, and few operations make rain reduced.The RPERs in spring, summer, and autumn are 20.8%, 22.4%, and -22.6%, respectively.The APE effects in spring and summer are obviously better than that in autumn, and the half of autumn APEs generate precipitation reduction effect, which is probably related to cloud condition.The cloud availabilities for APE in spring and summer are superior to that in autumn.The significance test result shows that 65% of APE effects are significant.The higher vertical integrated liquid water content is in the APE area, the more the RPERs increase significantly.In addition, the APE conducted under the conditions of pre-operation echo ranging from 30 to 50 dBz and the large scale operation cloud, easily achieves certain precipitation enhancement effect, while that with operation cloud echo of 20-30 dBz is easy to produce precipitation reduction effect.Besides, the maintenance or enhancement of echo intensity and the area plays a significant role in increasing the APE effect.
