We describe a measurement of the angular power spectrum of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at scales of 0&fdg;3 to 5 degrees from the North American test flight of the Boomerang experiment. Boomerang is a balloon-borne telescope with a bolometric receiver designed to map CMB anisotropies on a long-duration balloon flight. During a 6 hr test flight of a prototype system in 1997, we mapped more than 200 deg(2) at high Galactic latitudes in two bands centered at 90 and 150 GHz with a resolution of 26&arcmin; and 16&farcm;5 FWHM, respectively. Analysis of the maps gives a power spectrum with a peak at angular scales of 1 degrees with an amplitude 70 μK(CMB).  相似文献

采用奇异谱分析（Singular Spectrum Analysis，SSA）方法对标准化样本序列进行准周期信号分量重建，将重建序列构造均值生成函数（Mean Generating Function．MGF）延拓矩阵作为输入因子，原样本序列作为输出因子，构建BP神经网络多步预测模型。通过实际建模并与逐步回归等方法进行对比预测试验，结果表明，基于SSA-MGF的BP神经网络多步预测模型预测效果优于其他3种模型，说明SSA的去噪及BP神经网络预报模型对于提高预测准确率是相对有效的，是一种具有较高应用价值的多步预测方法。  相似文献   

Statistical assessment of trends and oscillations in rainfall dynamics: Analysis of long daily Italian series   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. Cislaghi  C. De Michele  A. Ghezzi  R. Rosso 《Atmospheric Research》2005,77(1-4):188

Since the 18th century systematic measurements of rainfall have been collected in Italy. The daily rainfall series observed in Milan (1835–2001), Genoa (1833–2000), Bologna (1813–2001) and Palermo (1797–1999) are examples of available long rainfall records. These data series can help analyzing the evolution of precipitation. The present paper deals with long term evolution of: (i) annual rainfall amount; (ii) annual number of rainy events; (iii) intensity of rainfall, (iv) inter-annual rainfall partitioning, i.e. the duration of wet and dry periods, and (v) maximum annual values of daily rainfall amount, duration of wet and dry periods. The evolution is studied analyzing the first two order statistics and the 30-year return period quantiles via moving window analysis. Confidence intervals are introduced to check the statistical significance of the estimated statistics and quantiles. The results are compared with those provided by the traditional Mann-Kendall test. The analysis shows how the annual precipitation exhibits a negative trend in the first half of 20th century, with a subsequent positive trend in northern Italy (Genoa, Milan and Bologna). Conversely, the dataset for Palermo (southern Italy) displays only a negative trend. Because the number of precipitation episodes is found to decrease in the investigated period, the average rain rate is significantly increasing especially in northern Italy. This is also associated with shorter duration of rain episodes with an evident effect on rainfall extremes. Dry periods tend to be longer with increasing variability. The Mann-Kendall test and its progressive form have shown to be well suited for monotonic trend, but the confidence interval analysis, introduced here, is more appropriate if oscillations are significant.  相似文献

Integrity Monitoring of IGEX-98 Data,Part I: Availability     

N. F. Jonkman  K. De Jong 《GPS Solutions》2000,3(4):10-23

The International GLONASS Experiment 1998 (IGEX-98) was the first international tracking campaign of the Russian counterpart to the Global Positioning System (GPS), GLONASS. Started in October 1998, the campaign was originally scheduled to last for three months. However, the launch of additional GLONASS satellites and a widespread enthusiasm among the participants led to an indefinite continuation of the campaign on a “best effort” basis. At the Delft University of Technology, the data of six IGEX-98 stations have been analyzed in detail with integrity monitoring software, developed at the Department of Mathematical Geodesy and Positioning of the University. The software aims to detect outliers and slips in code and phase observations in real time. In addition, the software also allows the validation of the information contained in the broadcast navigation messages. The results of the IGEX-98 data analyses will be presented in a three-part series. In the second part, GLONASS outlier and slips statistics will be discussed, while in the third part the anomaly detection results of the GLONASS and GPS messages will be shown. In this first part of the series, however, the most basic of all statistics will be considered: a simple day-to-day count of the number of GLONASS and GPS observations. Although simple, this statistic yields a surprising amount of information both on the availability of the GLONASS satellites and on the peculiarities of some of the receiver makes participating in the IGEX-98 campaign. ? 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.  相似文献   

Quantitative estimation of skin soil moisture with the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Koen De Ridder 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2000,96(3):421-432

A physically based retrieval scheme is described toinfer near surface moisture content of bare soilpatches from time series of the Special SensorMicrowave/Imager (SSM/I) Polarisation DifferenceTemperature (PDT) at 19.35 GHz. The PDT is modelled asa function of soil moisture using Fresnel's relationsfor specular reflection at the air-soil boundary,together with a dielectric mixing model for themoisture-dependent soil dielectric constant. Theproblem of the specification of parameters describingatmospheric and soil roughness effects is avoided byconsidering temporal variations of the PDT. Theretrieval method is applied to the FIFE site for atwo-week period in summer, during which heavy rainfalloccurred on a dry upper soil. Although differences insensing depths made a rigorous validation impossible,remotely sensed soil moisture showed a high degree ofconsistency with ground measurements. An erroranalysis shows that the method is capable of providingan accuracy of approximately 20% of moisture contentat field capacity. Finally, it is demonstrated thatthe method is relatively insensitive to soil texturalcharacteristics when moisture content is scaled withfield capacity.  相似文献

This paper reviews the subject of naturalhazards and the use of existing remote sensing systemsin the different phases of disaster management forsome specific natural hazards: forest fires, droughtsand floods. It centers on the applicability of remotesensing for increasing preparedness, providing earlywarnings, monitoring the hazards in real time, andassessing the damage so that relief can be provided. Comparison of the information provided by existingsystems and that needed for operational use of remotesensing in disaster management is also addressed. Thecapability of some of the future sensors to complywith the needs in the field of natural hazards isdiscussed. In this context current pilot projectscarried on at the European Commission Joint ResearchCentre are presented.  相似文献   

Super-silicic garnet microstructures from an orogenic garnet peridotite, evidence for an ultra-deep (>6 GPa) origin   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Van Roermund  Drury  Barnhoorn  & De Ronde 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2000,18(2):135-147.

We report the field, petrographic and mineral chemical characteristics of relict super‐silicic (=majoritic) garnet microstructures from the Otrøy peridotites in the Western Gneiss Region, Norway. The evidence for the former existence of super‐silicic garnet consists of two‐pyroxene exsolution microstructures from garnet. Estimates of the initial composition of the super‐silicic garnet imply pressures of 6–6.5 GPa, indicating that the Otrøy garnet peridotites were derived from depths >185 km. The garnet peridotites consist of inter‐banded variable compositions with c. 50% garnet peridotite and 50% garnet‐free peridotite. Two distinct garnet types were identified: (a) normal matrix garnet, grain‐size ≤4 mm, and (b) large isolated single garnet crystals and/or (polycrystalline) garnet nodules up to 10 cm in size. Large garnet nodules occur only within limited bands within the garnet peridotites. The relicts of super‐silicic garnet were exclusively found in some (not all) of the larger garnet nodules. Petrographic observations revealed that the microstructure of nodular garnet consists of the following four characteristic elements. (1) Individual garnet nodules are polycrystalline, with grain sizes of 2–8 mm. Garnet grain boundaries are straight with well‐defined triple junctions. (2) Some garnet triple junctions and garnet grain boundaries are decorated by interstitial orthopyroxene. (3) Cores of larger polycrystalline garnet contain two‐pyroxene exsolution microstructures. (4) Precipitation‐free rims (2 mm thick) surround garnet cores containing the exsolved pyroxene microstructure. Pyroxene exsolution from super‐silicic garnet was subsequently followed by brittle–ductile deformation of garnet. Both exsolved pyroxene needles and laths become undulous or truncated by fractures. Simultaneous garnet plasticity is indicated by the occurrence of high densities of naturally decorated dislocations. Transmission electron microscopy observations indicate that decoration is due to Ti‐oxide precipitation. Estimates of the P–T conditions for mineral chemical equilibration were obtained from geothermobarometry. The mineral compositions equilibrated at mantle conditions around 805±40 °C and 3.2±0.2 GPa. These P–T estimates correspond to cold continental lithosphere conditions at depths of around 105 km. From a combination of both depth estimates it can be concluded that the microstructural memory of the rock extends backwards to twice as great a depth range as obtained by thermobarometric methods. Available geochronological and geochemical data of Norwegian garnet peridotites suggest a multi‐stage, multi‐orogenic exhumation history.  相似文献
