Influence of spatial distribution of sensors and observation accuracy on the assimilation of distributed streamflow data in hydrological modelling     

Maurizio Mazzoleni  Leonardo Alfonso  Dimitri Solomatine 《水文科学杂志》2017,62(3):389-407

The aim of this study is to assess the influence of sensor locations and varying observation accuracy on the assimilation of distributed streamflow observations, also taking into account different structures of semi-distributed hydrological models. An ensemble Kalman filter is used to update a semi-distributed hydrological model as a response to measured streamflow. Various scenarios of sensor locations and observation accuracy are introduced. The methodology is tested on the Brue basin during five flood events. The results of this work demonstrate that the assimilation of streamflow observations at interior points of the basin can improve the hydrological models according to the particular location of the sensors and hydrological model structure. It is also found that appropriate definition of the observation accuracy can affect model performance and consequent flood forecasting. These findings can be used as criteria to develop methods for streamflow monitoring network design.  相似文献   

Use of terrestrial photosieving and airborne topographic LiDAR to assess bed grain size in large rivers: a study on the Rhine River

Most grain size monitoring is still being conducted by manual sampling in the field, which is time consuming and has low spatial representation. Due to new remote sensing methods, some limitations have been partly overcome, but methodological progress is still needed for large rivers as well as in underwater conditions. In this article, we tested the reliability of two methods along the Old Rhine River (France/Germany) to estimate the grain size distribution (GSD) in above-water conditions: (i) a low-cost terrestrial photosieving method based on an automatic procedure using Digital Grain Size (DGS) software and (ii) an airborne LiDAR topo-bathymetric survey. We also tested the ability of terrestrial photosieving to estimate the GSD in underwater conditions. Field pebble counts were performed to compare and calibrate both methods. The results showed that the automatic procedure of terrestrial photosieving is a reliable method to estimate the GSD of sediment patches in both above-water and underwater conditions with clean substrates. Sensitivity analyses showed that environmental conditions, including solar lighting conditions and petrographic variability, significantly influence the GSD from the automatic procedure in above-water conditions. The presence of biofilm in underwater conditions significantly altered the GSD estimation using the automatic procedure, but the proposed manual procedure overcame this problem. The airborne LiDAR topographic survey is an accurate method to estimate the GSD of above-water bedforms and is able to generate grain size maps. The combination of terrestrial photosieving and airborne topographic LiDAR methods is adapted to assess the GSD over several kilometers long reaches of large rivers. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Multi-view dense matching supported by triangular meshes     

Dimitri Bulatov  Peter WernerusChristian Heipke 《ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing》2011,66(6):907-918

We present a new procedure to compute dense 3D point clouds from a sequential set of images. This procedure is considered as a second step of a three-step algorithm for 3D reconstruction from image sequences, whose first step consists of image orientation and the last step is shape reconstruction. We assume that the camera matrices as well as a sparse set of 3D points are available and we strive for obtaining a dense and reliable 3D point cloud. Three novel ideas are presented: (1) for sparse tracking and triangulation, the search space for correspondences is reduced to a line segment by means of known camera matrices and disparity ranges are provided by triangular meshes from the already available points; (2) triangular meshes from extended sets of points are used for dense matching, because these meshes help to reconstruct points in weakly textured areas and present a natural way to obtain subpixel accuracy; (3) two non-local optimization methods, namely, 1D dynamic programming along horizontal lines and semi-global optimization were employed for refinement of local results obtained from an arbitrary number of images. All methods were extensively tested on a benchmark data set and an infrared video sequence. Both visual and quantitative results demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm.  相似文献

The dynamics of two massive planets on inclined orbits     

Dimitri Veras  Philip J. Armitage 《Icarus》2004,172(2):349-371

The significant orbital eccentricities of most giant extrasolar planets may have their origin in the gravitational dynamics of initially unstable multiple planet systems. In this work, we explore the dynamics of two close planets on inclined orbits through both analytical techniques and extensive numerical scattering experiments. We derive a criterion for two equal mass planets on circular inclined orbits to achieve Hill stability, and conclude that significant radial migration and eccentricity pumping of both planets occurs predominantly by 2:1 and 5:3 mean motion resonant interactions. Using Laplace-Lagrange secular theory, we obtain analytical secular solutions for the orbital inclinations and longitudes of ascending nodes, and use those solutions to distinguish between the secular and resonant dynamics which arise in numerical simulations. We also illustrate how encounter maps, typically used to trace the motion of massless particles, may be modified to reproduce the gross instability seen by the numerical integrations. Such a correlation suggests promising future use of such maps to model the dynamics of more coplanar massive planet systems.  相似文献

The H− equilibrium using coupled rate equations for H−, H,H+, H2, and H2 +     

Bruce W. Lites  Dimitri Mihalas 《Solar physics》1984,93(1):23-35

We formulate rate equations for the reaction network coupling H, H^–, H⁺, H₂, and H₂ ⁺. We attempt to systematize the notation, and to write the equations in a form suitable for modern computational methods of handling the coupled rate equations and radiative transfer equations, for both dynamical and static atmospheres. We have accounted for more processes than are generally considered in most current work; some of these may have an impact on the equilibrium of H^– (hence its opacity) and on charge conservation (hence the proton density) in the atmospheres of solar-type stars.Operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. under Contract AST 78-17292 with the National Science Foundation.The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.  相似文献

Standard states for the activities of mineral surface sites and species     

Dimitri A Sverjensky 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2003,67(1):17-28

A standard state commonly used for the activities of surface sites and surface species is the hypothetical 1.0 Molar standard state, which is implied by the use of molarity-based equilibrium constants. An undesirable practical consequence is that the magnitudes of such equilibrium constants are directly dependent on properties of the solid sorbent such as the site density and surface area. For reactions forming binuclear complexes, the magnitudes of the equilibrium constants even depend on the amount of solid. Although widely used, such equilibrium constants cannot be directly compared with each other without correction for differences in the properties or the amount of the solid. In the present study, new more general and useful standard states are proposed, leading to equilibrium constants independent of the surface area, site density, and the amount of the solid sorbent. Analytical relationships between the old and the new standard states enable conversion of equilibrium constants from one standard state to the other. These results have implications for several different types of surface complexation studies, including studies that correlate and compare equilibrium adsorption constants for different solids, sensitivity-analysis studies of the fitting of surface charge data as functions of pH and ionic strength, and studies employing correlations involving aqueous equilibrium constants for the purpose of predicting equilibrium constants for surface reactions.  相似文献
