  • Publication number: 20240230950
    Abstract: Provides a method for associating a precipitation forecast capability with a teleconnection effect based on coefficients of determination, including following steps: acquiring historical forecast precipitation data, observed precipitation data, and a climate index sample sequence, and obtaining original sample data; establishing regression equations of observed precipitation and forecast precipitation, observed precipitation and a climate index, and observed precipitation and a union set of the forecast precipitation and the climate index, and calculating corresponding coefficients of determination through the regression equations; calculating variances explained by the forecast precipitation alone, by the climate index alone, and by the forecast precipitation and the climate index alone; processing the variances by means of bootstrapping to obtain a reference distribution of the variances; and comparing the original sample data with the reference distribution of the variances to obtain an association result

  • Patent number: 12013900
    Abstract: A spatial auto-correlation clustering method for a remote correlation mode. By taking the degree of remote correlation between each spatial grid cell and an adjacent cell thereof into consideration, and on the basis of the definition of a local Moran index, an original value of a correlation coefficient is used without performing centralization processing, thereby improving a local Moran index calculation formula to obtain a new local indicator of spatial auto-correlation (LISAAC), such that the detection of a significant positive or negative remote correlation aggregation range is realized, and the identification of an abnormal value (that is, a non-significant or negative-value grid appears in a significant positive-value area, and a non-significant or positive-value grid appears in a significant negative-value area) is realized.
