The Belt and Road initiative has a significant focus on infrastructure, trade, and economic development across a vast region, and it also provides significant opportunities for sustainable development. The combined pressure of climate variability, intensified use of resources, and the fragility of ecosystems make it very challenging, however, to achieve future sustainability. To develop the path in a sustainable way, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of these issues across nations and evaluate them in a scientific and well-informed approach. In this context, the Digital Belt and Road (DBAR) program was initiated as an international venture to share expertise, knowledge, technologies, and data to demonstrate the role of Earth observation science and technology and big Earth data applications to support large-scale development. In this paper, we identify pressing challenges, present the research priorities and foci of the DBAR program, and propose solutions where big Earth data can make significant contributions. This paper calls for further joint actions and collaboration to build a digital silk road in support of sustainable development at national, regional and global levels.  相似文献   

Performance of GPS and GPS/SINS navigation in the CE-5T1 skip re-entry mission     

Meng Wang  Tao Shan  Lin Ma  Ran Tao  Chunliang Chen 《GPS Solutions》2018,22(2):56

A CE-5T1 spacecraft completed a high-speed skip re-entry to the earth after a circumlunar flight on October 31, 2014. In addition to the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), a lightweight GPS receiver with rapid acquisition was developed as a navigation sensor in the re-entry capsule. The GPS receiver effectively solved the poor accuracy problem of long-term navigation using only the SINS. In contrast to ground users and low-earth-orbit spacecraft, numerous factors, including high altitude and kinetic characteristics in high-speed skip re-entry, are important for GPS positioning feasibility and were presented in accordance with the flight data. GPS solutions started at nearly 4900 km orbital altitude during the phases of re-entry process. These solutions were combined by an inertial measurement unit in a loosely coupled integrated navigation method and SINS navigation initialization. A simplified GPS/SINS navigation filter for limited resources was effectively developed and implemented on board for spacecraft application. Flight data estimation analyses, including trajectory, attitude, position distribution of GPS satellite, and navigation accuracy, were presented. The estimated accuracy of position was better than 42 m, and the accuracy of velocity was better than 0.1 m/s.  相似文献   

A modified mix-differenced approach for estimating multi-GNSS real-time satellite clock offsets

A modified mixed-differenced approach for estimating multi-GNSS real-time clock offsets is presented. This approach, as compared to the earlier presented mixed-differenced approach which uses epoch-differenced and undifferenced observations, further adds a satellite-differenced process. The proposed approach, based on real-time orbit products and a mix of epoch-differenced and satellite-differenced observations to estimate only satellite clock offsets and tropospheric zenith wet delays, has fewer estimated parameters than other approaches, and thus its implementing procedure is efficient and can be performed and extended easily. To obtain high accuracy, the approach involves three steps. First, the high-accuracy tropospheric zenith wet delay of each station is estimated using mixed-differenced carrier phase observations. Second, satellite clock offset changes between adjacent epochs are estimated using also mixed-differenced carrier phase observations. Third, the satellite clock offsets at the initial epoch are estimated using satellite-differenced pseudorange observations. Finally, the initial epoch clock results and clock offset changes are concatenated to obtain the clock results of the current epoch. To validate the real-time satellite clock results, multi-GNSS post-processing clock products from IGS ACs were selected for comparison. From the comparison, the standard deviations of the GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and Galileo systems clock results are approximately 0.1–0.4 ns, except for the BeiDou GEO satellites. The root mean squares are about 0.4–2.3 ns, which are similar to those of other international real-time products. When the clock estimates were assessed based on a pseudo-kinematic PPP procedure, the positioning accuracies in the East, North and Up components reach 5.6, 5.5 and 7.6 cm, respectively, which meet the centimeter level and are comparable to the application of other products.  相似文献   

Beidou satellite maneuver thrust force estimation for precise orbit determination     

Jing Qiao  Wu Chen 《GPS Solutions》2018,22(2):42

Beidou satellites, especially geostationary earth orbit (GEO) and inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) satellites, need to be frequently maneuvered to keep them in position due to various perturbations. The satellite ephemerides are not available during such maneuver periods. Precise estimation of thrust forces acting on satellites would provide continuous ephemerides during maneuver periods and could significantly improve orbit accuracy immediately after the maneuver. This would increase satellite usability for both real-time and post-processing applications. Using 1 year of observations from the Multi-GNSS Experiment network (MGEX), we estimate the precise maneuver periods for all Beidou satellites and the thrust forces. On average, GEO and IGSO satellites in the Beidou constellation are maneuvered 12 and 2 times, respectively, each year. For GEO satellites, the maneuvers are mainly in-plane, while out-of-plane maneuvers are observed for IGSO satellites and a small number of GEO satellites. In most cases, the Beidou satellite maneuver periods last 15–25 min, but can be as much as 2 h for the few out-of-plane maneuvers of GEO satellites. The thrust forces acting on Beidou satellites are normally in the order of 0.1–0.7 mm/s². This can cause changes in velocity of GEO/IGSO satellites in the order of several decimeters per second. In the extreme cases of GEO out-of-plane maneuvers, very large cross-track velocity changes are observed, namely 28 m/s, induced by 5.4 mm/s² thrust forces. Also, we demonstrate that by applying the estimated thrust forces in orbit integration, the orbit errors can be estimated at decimeter level in along- and cross-track directions during normal maneuver periods, and 1–2 m in all the orbital directions for the enormous GEO out-of-plane maneuver.  相似文献   

Analysis of estimated satellite clock biases and their effects on precise point positioning     

Shirong Ye  Lewen Zhao  Jia Song  Dezhong Chen  Weiping Jiang 《GPS Solutions》2018,22(1):16

This study provides a systemic analysis to identify the biases in estimated satellite clocks and illustrates their effects in precise point positioning (PPP). First, the precise satellite clock estimation method considering pseudorange and carrier phase hardware delays is derived. Two methods for satellite clock estimation are compared, and their equivalency is discussed. The results show that apart from the well-known constant code hardware biases, the time-variant phase hardware biases are also absorbed by the estimated clocks. Also, the satellite clocks contain biases caused by modeling errors. To analyze the effects of these biases, they are grouped into initial clock biases (ICBs) and time-dependent biases (TDBs). Then, a detailed analysis of the impact of the biases on PPP-based troposphere and coordinate estimates is conducted. The experimental analysis demonstrates that TDBs affect positioning and tropospheric estimates, and their impacts are more significant in the static mode. The ICBs affect coordinate accuracy, zenith total delay mean bias, and its standard deviations only at the millimeter level for kinematic and static PPP, which is negligible. However, the ICBs affect the convergence period for both static and real kinematic PPP, and the magnitude of their impact largely depends on data quality. Note that satellites clocks are generally estimated with the P1/P2 and L1/L2 ionospheric-free combinations, and that hardware-specific parts of ICBs and TDBs cancel if users employ the same type of observables as the clock providers. Otherwise, the effects of biases cannot be ignored, especially for triple-frequency applications. Also, modeling-specific parts of ICBs and TDBs are significant in real-time clocks, which also affect user applications. Our conclusion is applicable for understanding the effects of these biases.  相似文献   

Object- and pixel-based classifications of macroalgae farming area with high spatial resolution imagery     

Yuhan Zheng  Anqi Wang  Jiang Chen 《国际地球制图》2018,33(10):1048-1063

Macroalgae plays an important role in coastal ecosystems. The accurate delineation of macroalgae areas is important for environmental management. This study compared the pixel- and object-based methods using Gaofen satellite no. 2 image to explore an efficient classification approach. Expert system rules and nearest neighbour classifier were adopted for object-based classification, whereas maximum likelihood classifier was implemented in the pixel-based approach. Normalized difference vegetation index, normalized difference water index, mean value of the blue band and geometric characteristics were selected as features to distinguish macroalgae farms by considering the spectral and spatial characteristics. Results show that the object-based method achieved a higher overall accuracy and kappa coefficient than the pixel-based method. Moreover, the object-based approach displayed superiority in identifying Porphyra class. These findings suggest that the object-based method can delineate macroalgae farming areas efficiently and be applied in the future to monitor the macroalgae farms with high spatial resolution imagery.  相似文献   

玄武岩柱状节理六边形结构形成机制探讨     

周思耘  吴晨 《地质论评》2021,67(6):1629-1635

玄武岩柱状节理往往呈现完美的六边形石柱,这种现象引起了人们的广泛关注和好奇,但是对于其形成机理尚无合理的解释。本文通过对冷却过程中的玄武岩进行受力分析,提出当岩石（浆）冷凝收缩的凝聚力达到其抗张强度时,岩石（浆）内部发生潜在破裂和微形变;当潜在破裂面形成后,因岩石的泊松效应,微小潜在破裂面处的应力状态发生重整,形成新的潜在破裂面;当新的潜在破裂面处的剪应力等于岩石抗张强度时,岩石（浆）发生剪切破裂,形成如今所见的柱状节理。根据前人相关岩石实验数据,推算得到玄武岩相应温度下的内摩擦角、黏聚力、抗张强度和泊松比,采用应力莫尔圆方法进行数值计算,获得玄武岩在冷却到800 ℃左右时发生破裂,六棱柱形柱状节理开始形成,内角约119.1°。进一步分析认为,岩石的黏聚力、石英含量等因素可能控制着柱状节理的发育和形状。  相似文献

伍皓  李小刚  吴晨  夏彧  周恳恳  熊国庆  姚雪婷 《地质论评》2021,67(5):1207-1230

为尝试利用锆石来初步探索地球内部铀、钍的丰度,通过搜集秦岭造山带加里东期岩浆岩体锆石U-Th-Pb同位素测年文献,掌握了3件超基性岩、52件基性岩、46件中性岩、90件酸性岩,共计191件样品,6979个（铀含量数据3552个,钍含量数据3427个）锆石定年数据。数据分析指示铀和钍在同一类型岩浆岩锆石中含量均相差悬殊,可在不同类型岩浆岩锆石中富集或亏损,不具有从超基性岩到基性岩到中性岩再到酸性岩总体增加的趋势。在所有样品锆石铀、钍平均值2倍以上的45件高富集样品中的34件呈现“局部长期”分布的特征,表现为：10件在451.0~422.1 Ma期间的以OIB型基性、中基性岩为主的样品约29 Ma时间集中产出在南秦岭大巴山地区,岩浆多来自由HIMU,EMII和EMI三个富集地幔端元组分混合而成的复杂地幔区;24件在495.9~413.6 Ma期间的以I型、S-I型酸性岩为主的样品约82 Ma时间集中产出于北秦岭商丹（商南—丹凤）地区,岩浆可来自地幔、壳幔混合和地壳源区。结合华南金属铀（0价）的发现等前人研究成果初步分析认为,加里东期大巴山和商丹地区可能分别存在地幔柱和大陆型热点,地核中大量铀、钍沿地幔柱和大陆型热点上升致使地幔和地壳局部熔体中铀、钍长期富集,其超高含量可能被熔体中锆石结晶部分记录,这一元素迁移过程可能是两区域产出高锆石铀、钍含量样品和商丹地区生成铀矿的主要原因。支持铀、钍可在地核和地幔柱富集的认识。  相似文献
