A deeper understanding of how clouds will respond to a warming climate is one of the outstanding challenges in climate science. Uncertainties in the response of clouds, and particularly shallow clouds, have been identified as the dominant source of the discrepancy in model estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity. As the community gains a deeper understanding of the many processes involved, there is a growing appreciation of the critical role played by fluctuations in water vapor and the coupling of water vapor and atmospheric circulations. Reduction of uncertainties in cloud-climate feedbacks and convection initiation as well as improved understanding of processes governing these effects will result from profiling of water vapor in the lower troposphere with improved accuracy and vertical resolution compared to existing airborne and space-based measurements. This paper highlights new technologies and improved measurement approaches for measuring lower tropospheric water vapor and their expected added value to current observations. Those include differential absorption lidar and radar, microwave occultation between low-Earth orbiters, and hyperspectral microwave remote sensing. Each methodology is briefly explained, and measurement capabilities as well as the current technological readiness for aircraft and satellite implementation are specified. Potential synergies between the technologies are discussed, actual examples hereof are given, and future perspectives are explored. Based on technical maturity and the foreseen near-mid-term development path of the various discussed measurement approaches, we find that improved measurements of water vapor throughout the troposphere would greatly benefit from the combination of differential absorption lidar focusing on the lower troposphere with passive remote sensors constraining the upper-tropospheric humidity.  相似文献

地下结构的地震响应主要取决于由地震波传播产生的土体变形与土结相互作用。剪切波传播过程中将会引起隧道衬砌的椭圆化变形,进而降低衬砌有效承载力。剪切波作用下的深埋圆形隧道可认为处于均质的纯剪状态,基于相对刚度法的拟静力解析解可充分考虑土结相互作用对隧道结构内力的影响。基于此,本文将通过有限元数值分析获得的自由场地地基变形引入不滑移状态下深埋圆形隧道内力求解公式,并结合二维和三维数值模拟途径,将动力分析结果与解析解结果进行对比分析,以评价各种解析方法的适用性和数值途径的可靠性。  相似文献

Mesocosm experiments identifying hotspots of groundwater upwelling in a water column by fibre optic distributed temperature sensing          下载免费PDF全文

Lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) can substantially impact ecosystem characteristics and functions. Fibre optic distributed temperature sensing (FO‐DTS) has been successfully used to locate groundwater discharge into lakes and rivers at the sediment–water interface, but locating groundwater discharge would be easier if it could be detected from the more accessible water surface. So far, it is not clear if how and under which conditions the LGD signal propagates through the water column to the water surface–atmosphere interface, and what perturbations and signal losses occur along this pathway. In the present study, LGD was simulated in a mesocosm experiment. Under winter conditions, water with temperatures of 14 to 16 °C was discharged at the bottom of a 10 × 2.8‐m mesocosm. Water within this mesocosm ranged from 4.0 to 7.4 °C. Four layers (20, 40, 60, and 80 cm above the sediment) of the 82 cm deep mesocosm were equipped with FO‐DTS for tracing thermal patterns in the mesocosm. Aims are (a) to test whether the positive buoyancy of relatively warm groundwater imported by LGD into shallow water bodies allows detection of LGD at the lake's water surface–atmosphere interface by FO‐DTS, (b) to analyse the propagation of the temperature signal from the sediment‐water interface through the water column, and (c) to learn more about detectability of the signal under different discharge rates and weather conditions. The experiments supported the benchmarking of scale dependencies and robustness of FO‐DTS applications for measuring upwelling into aquatic environments and revealed that weather conditions can have important impacts on the detection of upwelling at water surface–atmosphere interfaces at larger scales.  相似文献   

Effects of variation in loading protocol on the strength and deformation capacity of ductile reinforced concrete beams          下载免费PDF全文

Understanding the impact of prior earthquake damage on residual capacity is important for postearthquake damage assessment of buildings; however, interpretation of such impact is challenging when based on tests using traditional reversed‐cyclic loading protocols. A new loading protocol, consisting of a dynamic earthquake displacement history followed by quasi‐static reversed‐cyclic loading to failure, is presented as an alternative to traditional simulated seismic loading protocols. Data are analyzed from a set of 12 nominally identical ductile reinforced concrete beams that were tested by using variations of this protocol and traditional reversed‐cyclic and monotonic protocols. Differences in the cycle content of the earthquake displacement histories applied to the test specimens allowed for the effects of load history variation below 2.2% drift to be isolated. It is found that such variation had no effect on the beam deformation capacities. The effects of dynamic loading rates are also analyzed and compared against control quasi‐static specimens. Relative strength increases due to dynamic loading are found to be more significant at yield than at ultimate. Dynamic loading rates led to modest reductions in the beam deformation capacities, but the presence of causality between these variables remains uncertain.  相似文献

通过把地层格架信息作用于立体层析Fréchet导数矩阵,使得更新后的速度模型呈现出符合地质规律的块状特征.地层格架信息基于立体层析反演中得到的反射点位置进行非规则B样条插值拟合得到,因此在反演中它将会随着反射点位置的更新自然得到更新.与前人提出的保边缘层析算法或多层立体层析算法相比,本文提出的地层格架正则化无需引入混合正则化项或定义某种复杂的混合速度格式,更为直接也更容易实现.理论和实际数据算例证实了该正则化技巧的稳健性和可靠性,能够得到与实际地质构造特征更为一致的地质一致性反演结果.  相似文献

2003-2005年在同一时段5～6月,在珠江口按年度分区进行了地质环境综合调查,其中包括海水取样和样品测试,测试项目有理化常规、营养盐、有害重金属等。对样品测试结果的分析表明,珠江口化学要素分布是来源、水体运动、迁移等一系列过程的最终反映,各要素分布的变异性差别较大;存在季节性低氧区,与受到污染或以南陆架盐水入侵有关;大量的径流输入使得NO3-N和硅酸盐含量很高,营养盐类型为磷限制型,氮硅比例则比较适宜;局部有害重金属Pb、Zn、Hg含量较高,与径流输入和沿岸排污直接有关,底床细颗粒沉积物受到扰动的二次释放对水体也有所贡献;硫化物对海水形成了一定程度的污染,局部石油类污染也需要引起关注,无机氮污染尤其严重,反映出人类以不同方式和途径影响着珠江口。最后,讨论了海水与表层沉积物化学要素的相互关系,进行了水质综合评价。  相似文献   

Unbalanced AltBOC: a Compass B1 candidate with generalized MPOCET technique     

Kai Zhang  Hongwei Zhou  Feixue Wang 《GPS Solutions》2013,17(2):153-164

With the proposed new GNSS signals, enhanced navigation performance is expected in both civil and military applications. However, these new signals introduce the difficulty of combining multiple signal components into a constant-envelope signal. For the Compass B1 band, the problem is to multiplex a QPSK(2) signal and a new multiplexed binary offset carrier (MBOC) signal with a center frequency difference of 14.322 MHz. One approach for multiplexing spreading codes is the phase-optimized constant-envelope transmission (POCET) method proposed for the GPS L1 band. However, only binary spreading codes are considered in POCET. We first generalize the POCET method as a multilevel POCET (MPOCET) algorithm for multilevel coded signals. A new implementation of the alternative binary offset carrier (AltBOC) generator is derived from MPOCET. Secondly, the multiplexing problem for Compass is modeled by MPOCET. Multilevel subcarriers of AltBOC are adopted in the model. As a result, an 8-PSK unbalanced AltBOC (UAltBOC) modulation, which has a QPSK(2) signal at the lower sideband and a TMBOC signal at the upper sideband, is obtained. Simulations for signal model validation and power spectrum analysis are conducted. Numerical results indicate that UAltBOC successfully combines the QPSK and TMBOC signals with only 0.16-dB additional combining loss compared to AltBOC. The proposed MPOCET technique is demonstrated as a unified multiplexing method for navigation signals.  相似文献

中国首个自主火星探测任务“天问一号”探测器于2020-07成功发射,其搭载的中国首台火星车“祝融号”将在着陆火星后开展巡视探测,获取中国火星探测的原始科学数据。识别火星表面岩矿类型对于了解火星的大气变化、环境状态、地质演化以及生物宜居性等具有重要意义。本研究利用“祝融号”火星车搭载的多光谱相机载荷鉴定件（8个波段）在地球环境下拍摄并获取了18种火星表面岩矿的多光谱影像数据。基于该数据所开展的火星岩矿类型的识别研究可为未来基于“祝融号”多光谱相机数据进行火星表面岩矿的原位识别提供指导。本文所采用的基于多光谱影像波段运算和彩色图像HSV颜色特征直方图的岩矿识别方法,可从多光谱特征和颜色特征两个层面来识别不同类型的岩矿。所使用的多光谱影像数据是在太阳高度角约60°、拍摄高度1.8 m、拍摄角度约37°的条件下采集所得。在该实验条件下,两种识别方法共提取出12种岩矿的识别指标。基于多光谱影像波段运算可以区分出在8个特定波段下具有突出光谱特征的岩矿类型,而基于图像HSV颜色特征可区分出颜色特征分布较为集中的岩矿类型。同时,研究发现拍摄角度不同会对岩矿的识别效果产生不可忽略的影响。  相似文献
