Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

This standard innovatively establishes a quantitative evaluation system for the intensity of rainfall processes based on data from 2,400 national meteorological observation stations, and achieves objective classification of meteorological disasters through three-dimensional indicators of rainfall intensity, coverage, and duration.


Definition of key terms

TermDefinitionUnit of measurement
PrecipitationDepth of rainwater accumulated on the horizontal surface without evaporationMillimeter (mm)
Rainfall processThe complete cycle from the beginning to the end of rainfallDay (d)
RSI indexQuantitative value of rainfall process intensity at a single stationDimensionless

Technical implementation path

1. Rainfall zoning method

Based on class=instrument>800mm annual precipitation line and 95 percentile daily rainfall value divide the country into 4 rainfall zones:

  • Zone 1: AAR≤800mm and DP95≤20mm
  • Zone 2: AAR>800mm and DP95≤35mm
  • Zone 3: AAR≤800mm and DP95>20mm
  • Zone 4: AAR>800mm and DP95>35mm

2. Index calculation model

Single-station RSI index: RSI=I×T

Regional RPI index: RPI=I×C×T

Where I is the intensity index, C is the coverage index, and T is the duration index


Comparison of grade classification standards

GradeSingle-station RSI rangeRegional RPI rangeDisaster risk
Extremely strong (Grade I)≤4≤12Extremely high risk
Strong (Grade II)4-812-24High risk
Strong (Level III)8-1224-36Medium risk

Implementation and application suggestions

Rainstorm warning case

Continuous heavy rainfall process in the Yangtze River Basin in 2020:

  • Calculated RPI index = 18 (Strong Level II)
  • Actually caused basin-wide floods, verifying the effectiveness of the standard

Key points for business application

  1. The weight coefficient needs to be adjusted in combination with localized parameters
  2. It is recommended to use it in conjunction with GB/T 20480-2006 "Surface Rainfall Grades in River Basins"
  3. A dynamic threshold update mechanism needs to be established

Analysis of Standard Evolution

This standard incorporates the duration factor into the intensity evaluation system for the first time. Compared with GB/T 28592-2012 "Precipitation Level", it has the following features:

  • More comprehensive disaster process evaluation dimension
  • More accurate regional difference consideration
  • Stronger business guidance
