摘要: |
Snowfall forecasting and road surface temperature forecasting are important subjects to ensure the security of comfortable winter road traffic condition and control management of winter road conditions. In some conventional methods, the snowfall forecasting methods of 12 hours to 24 hours later have been developed by the use of correlation between upper-air layer observation and ground snowfall observation. To reduce the time of forecasting, a system was developed using radar data. However, the method has some problems in narrowness of forecasting range, in equipment cost and in development cost. This research examined the possibility of very short term forecasting of snowfall and road surface temperature by using the observation of the Intelligent Visibility Meter which has functions to calculate precipitation type and intensity. Results show that forecasting precision can be improved by this newly developed method. |
