The development of radio astronomy at Hartebeesthoek     

George D. Nicolson 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1995,230(1-2):315-327

The development of radio astronomy at the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory in South Africa is described. The Hartebeesthoek site was established originally by NASA as one of three Deep Space Stations equipped with 26-m parabolic reflector antennas. It was first used for radio astronomy by South Africa in terms of the NASA host nation agreement which allowed for its use at times when the facility was not needed for its primary purpose of tracking space probes. After NASA withdrew from South Africa in 1975, the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research took over the site and the 26-m parabolic reflector antenna, which NASA had abandoned in position, and established it as a national observatory. The development of the facility to the stage where it could support a variety of observing programmes such as continuum observations and mapping, spectroscopy and pulsar timing is described as well as the role played by the Observatory in global programmes of very long baseline interferometry.  相似文献   

Geochemical mapping using a geomorphologic approach based on catchments   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Massimo Spadoni   《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2006,90(3):183-196

The Extended Sample Catchment Basin (ESCB) mapping technique, discussed in this paper, can be used to display the spatial distribution of geochemical variables measured in stream sediments taking into consideration the geomorphologic settings and the hydrographic patterns of surveyed areas. This approach is based on the association of an area of statistical representativeness with each sample, and on the assumption that the concentrations measured in the stream sediments can be considered as average reference values for this area.ESCBs can be easily identified considering the position of the sampling points within the hydrographic network and using the confluences between the streams of highest rank as break points for representing changes of the geochemical background. This approach, different from the traditional geostatistical and deterministic ones, does not consider the Euclidean distance among the sampling points as a measure of geochemical similarity but only refers to their functional relationship along the streams (following the water and the sediment flow) to measure their proximity.ESCBs can be seen as a specific development of previous techniques based on catchments and proves to be especially useful for supporting land planning in a preliminary survey phase while it is not specifically suitable for the identification of point sources of geochemical anomalies.Due to the fractal nature of the hydrographic network, all the procedures can be driven in a GIS environment by using digital terrain models apart from their spatial resolution.  相似文献

水产养殖地已经成为海洋环境监测的热点目标之一。采用具有高光谱分辨率和较高空间分辨率(15m)的ASTER遥感影像,以九龙江河口地区为研究示范区,进行近海水产养殖信息的自动提取方法研究。结果表明,利用ASTER影像的光谱信息和水产养殖地的纹理结构信息,可以实现近海水产养殖地的自动提取。先利用监督分类方法提取混淆有其他水体的水产养殖信息,采用邻域分析来增强水产养殖地的空间纹理信息。通过综合监督分类和水产养殖地空间纹理增强的结果,在专家决策分类器中建立决策规则,进行水产养殖地的自动提取,提取的精度达93%。  相似文献   

GIS-based flood hazard mapping at different administrative scales: A case study in Gangetic West Bengal, India   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Joy Sanyal  X.X. Lu 《Singapore journal of tropical geography》2006,27(2):207-220

This paper addresses the need for an efficient and cost-effective methodology for preparing flood hazard maps in data poor countries, particularly those under a monsoon regime where floods pose a recurrent danger. Taking Gangetic West Bengal, India, as an example and using available historical data from government agencies, the study compiled a regional map indicating hazard prone subregional areas for further detailed investigation, thereby isolating actual high risk localities. Using a GIS (Geographical Information System), a composite hazard index was devised incorporating variables of flood frequency, population density, transportation networks, access to potable water, and availability of high ground and maximum risk zones were mapped accordingly. A digital elevation model derived from high resolution imagery available in the public domain was used to calculate elevated areas suitable for temporary shelter during a flood. Selecting administrative units of analysis at the lowest possible scales – rural development blocks (regional) and revenue villages (subregional) – also ensures that hazard mapping is prepared in line with the existing rural planning and administrative authorities responsible for remedial intervention.  相似文献

纹理映射失真处理中的LOD技术     

王菲  卢晨琰夏青 游雄 《测绘学院学报》2005,22(4):304-306

纹理映射是计算机图形学中广泛应用的一项重要技术,纹理图像可以描述景物表面各点处的反射属性,模拟景物表面丰富的纹理细节,减少建模的工作量,提高计算机生成图形的真实性.但是由于纹理都为栅格图像,放大和缩小会产生一定程度的失真,所以要对纹理进行细节分层处理.文中主要介绍纹理的重采样和建立金字塔技术,提出减少纹理映射失真的方法.  相似文献

由于浅覆盖区的特殊地貌，给区域地质填图带来一定的困难。本文依据不同岩性的磁化率和放射性元素含量差异，讨论了不同填图单元地面磁法测量与地面伽玛能谱测量曲线关系。通过实测剖面的分析，得到大兴安岭火成岩区不同填图单元磁测异常曲线与放射性异常曲线的相关关系，从而用来快速确定浅覆盖区下填图单元边界，以减少槽探工程，减轻地质人员的工作强度。  相似文献
