ABSTRACT

This paper details a new boresight calibration method for multibeam echo sounder systems This method is based on an automatic data selection algorithm, followed by a boresight least squares adjustment This method, called MIBAC (MultiBeam-IMU Boresight Automatic Calibration), takes in input overlapping survey strips following a simple line pattern over a regular slope. We first construct a boresight error observability criterion, used to select automatically the most sensitive soundings to boresight errors. From these soundings, we perform a 3D adjustment of the boresight angle, thus taking into account the coupling between angles. From a statistical analysis of the adjustment results, we derive the boresight angle precision. Numerical results obtained with four different multibeam echo sounder systems are presented and compared to those of a patch test calibration method. Finally, we demonstrate the performances of MIBAC through a standard deviation along the surface normal approach computed by principal component analysis.  相似文献

为准确评估基于相对湿度廓线法反演云边界高度的有效性,以CloudSat和CALIPSO联合探测结果为基准,对2008年1月至2009年1月COSMIC无线电掩星和探空仪的云底高与云顶高反演结果进行定量对比验证,结果表明:CloudSat、掩星和探空仪检测到高云的比例差异较大,掩星和探空仪云检测效率相近,但云检测质量掩星优于探空仪,云层沿高度的发生概率同样掩星与CloudSat具有更好的一致性;陆地与海洋地区掩星和探空仪云底高反演精度大于云顶高,且反演精度与云层高度有关,二者对不同类型云的边界高度具有不同的反演优势,云底高发生概率掩星和探空仪与CloudSat都有很好的一致性,但云顶高概率掩星与CloudSat的吻合程度更好;CloudSat云边界高度随纬度升高而减小,其与掩星和探空仪的反演偏差同样是低纬大于中高纬,且具有不同的季节分布特点.此外,三者检测的底层云中低云所占比例从冬季到夏季逐渐减小,顶层云中云顶高于10 km的比例从冬季到夏季却逐渐增加.  相似文献   

新疆塔城地区黄土沉积的磁学特征及其对古环境变化的指示   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

西风区黄土沉积序列的磁化率变化特征比较复杂,磁化率与成壤强度之间的相关性在不同的区域环境中具有一定的差异。选取塔城地区黄土剖面作为研究对象进行较为系统的磁学特征分析。结果显示,塔城剖面的磁性矿物主要为磁铁矿、磁赤铁矿等亚铁磁性矿物,同时含有一定量的反铁磁性矿物和顺磁性矿物,磁畴状态主要是多畴（MD）和假单畴（PSD）。成壤作用影响单畴（SD）颗粒磁性矿物的相对含量,而对超顺磁（SP）颗粒的贡献有限。影响地层磁学性质的因素比较复杂,粒度与磁学参数的变化与区域的气候波动具有一定的对应关系。古土壤中磁性矿物浓度的降低以及钙积现象可能反映了成壤时期温暖干燥的气候条件,磁性矿物浓度的变化在一定程度上或许是对区域相对湿度状况的反映。  相似文献   

Modeling of environmental influence in structural health assessment for reinforced concrete buildings   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

One branch of structural health monitoring (SHM) utilizes dynamic response measurements to assess the structural integrity of civil infrastructures. In particular,modal frequency is a widely adopted indicator for structural damage since its square is proportional to structural stiffness. However,it has been demonstrated in various SHM projects that this indicator is substantially affected by fluctuating environmental conditions. In order to provide reliable and consistent information on the health status of the monitored structures,it is necessary to develop a method to filter this interference. This study attempts to model and quantify the environmental influence on the modal frequencies of reinforced concrete buildings. Daily structural response measurements of a twenty-two story reinforced concrete building were collected and analyzed over a one-year period. The Bayesian spectral density approach was utilized to identify the modal frequencies of this building and it was clearly seen that the temperature and humidity fluctuation induced notable variations. A mathematical model was developed to quantify the environmental effects and model complexity was taken into consideration. Based on a Timoshenko beam model,the full model class was constructed and other reduced-order model class candidates were obtained. Then,the Bayesian modal class selection approach was employed to select the one with the most suitable complexity. The proposed model successfully characterizes the environmental influence on the modal frequencies. Furthermore,the estimated uncertainty of the model parameters allows for assessment of the reliability of the prediction. This study not only improves the understanding about the monitored structure,but also establishes a systematic approach for reliable health assessment of reinforced concrete buildings.  相似文献   

Snow distribution from SSM/I and its relationships to the hydroclimatology of the Mackenzie River Basin,Canada     

Jinjun Tong  Stephen J. Déry  Peter L. Jackson  Chris Derksen 《Advances in water resources》2010

The spatial and temporal distribution of snow cover extent (SCE) and snow water equivalent (SWE) play vital roles in the hydrology of northern watersheds. We apply remotely sensed Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) data from 1988 to 2007 to explore the relationships between snow distribution and the hydroclimatology of the Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) of Canada and its major sub-basins. The Environment Canada (EC) algorithm is adopted to retrieve the SWE from SSM/I data. Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 8-day maximum snow cover extent products (MOD10A2) are used to estimate the different thresholds of retrieved SWE from SSM/I to classify the land cover as snow or no snow for various sub-basins in the MRB. The sub-basins have varying topography and hence different thresholds that range from 10 mm to 30 mm SWE. The accuracy of snow cover mapping based on the combination of several thresholds for the different sub-basins reaches ≈ 90%. The northern basins are found to have stronger linear relationships between the date on which snow cover fraction (SCF) reaches 50% or when SWE reaches 50% and mean air temperatures, than the southern basins. Correlation coefficients between SCF, SWE, and hydroclimatological variables show the new SCF products from SSM/I perform better than SWE from SSM/I to analyze the relationships with the regional hydroclimatology. Statistical models relating SCF and SWE to runoff indicate that the SCF and SWE from EC algorithms are able to predict the discharge in the early snow ablation seasons in northern watersheds.  相似文献

Estimation of rainfall fields using commercial microwave communication networks of variable density   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Artem Zinevich  Pinhas Alpert  Hagit Messer 《Advances in water resources》2008

The use of commercial microwave radio networks which are a part of cellular communication infrastructure for mapping of the near-the-ground rainfall is challenging for many reasons: the network geometry in space is irregular, the distribution of links by frequencies and polarizations is inhomogeneous, and measurements of rain-induced attenuation are distorted by quantization. A non-linear tomographic model over a variable density grid is formulated, and its applicability and performance limits are studied by means of a simulated experiment using a model of a real microwave network. It is shown that the proposed technique is capable to accurately measure integrated near-the-ground rainfall amounts over the area of 3200 km² with a bias smaller than 10%. In urban area, where the density of microwave links is high, the average correlation in space between the simulated model and reconstructed rainfall fields reaches 0.89 over the variable density grid with average cell size of 5.7 km² and 0.74 when interpolated into the rectangular grid with pixel size 0.775 × 0.775 km², for the quantization interval of 0.1 dB.  相似文献   

Patos Lagoon outflow within the Río de la Plata plume using an airborne salinity mapper: Observing an embedded plume     

Derek Burrage  Joel Wesson  Carlos Martinez  Tabare Pérez  Osmar Möller Jr.  Alberto Piola 《Continental Shelf Research》2008

Major river systems discharging into continental shelf waters frequently form buoyant coastal currents that propagate along the continental shelf in the direction of coastal trapped wave propagation (with the coast on the right/left, in the northern/southern hemisphere). The combined flow of the Uruguay and Paraná Rivers, which discharges freshwater into the Río de la Plata estuary (Lat. ∼36°S), often gives rise to a buoyant coastal current (the ‘Plata plume’) that extends northward along the continental shelf off Uruguay and Southern Brazil. Depending upon the prevailing rainfall, wind and tidal conditions, the Patos/Mirim Lagoon complex (Lat. ∼32°S) may also produce a freshwater outflow plume that expands across the inner continental shelf. Under these circumstances the Patos outflow plume can be embedded in temperature, salinity and current fields that are strongly influenced by the larger Plata plume. The purpose of this paper is to present observations of such an embedded plume structure and to determine the dynamical characteristics of the ambient and embedded plumes.  相似文献   

湿度效应及其对降水中δ18O季节分布的影响   总被引：6，自引：3，他引：3

提出了湿度效应的概念,即降水中稳定同位素比率与大气的温度露点差ΔT_d存在显著的正相关关系.对两个气候特征完全不同的取样站乌鲁木齐和昆明降水中δ¹⁸O与温度露点差之间的关系进行了分析,尽管两站的δ¹⁸O与ΔT_d的季节变化存在差异,但它们的湿度效应是显著的.利用稳定同位素动力分馏模型并根据500hPa月平均温度的季节分布对昆明站云中凝结物中δ¹⁸O进行了模拟,模拟的月平均δ¹⁸O与月平均温度的变化具有非常好的一致性,说明昆明站云中凝结物中的氧稳定同位素具有温度效应.这个结果与地面降水中氧稳定同位素的降水量效应截然不同.昆明站降水中δ¹⁸O一定程度上指示大气的干湿状况,同时也间接地指示降水量的多寡或季风的强弱.湿度效应的存在,影响降落雨滴中稳定同位素蒸发富集的强度以及雨滴与大气之间稳定同位素物质迁移的方向.它不仅改变降水中稳定同位素比率的大小,也改变其季节分布的特点.  相似文献

吴波  苏志珠  陈仲新 《中国沙漠》2007,27(6):911-917

为了客观反映中国荒漠化发生区域,按照联合国防治荒漠化《公约》的定义,利用1950-1990年间全国671个气象站的长时间序列气象数据,分别采用Thornthwaite和Penman计算可能蒸散量的方法计算了湿润指数的分布,然后根据中国气候区划和中国植被区划以及中国荒漠化发生的特点等对计算结果进行了调整,对中国荒漠化潜在发生范围进行了修订,明确了荒漠化各气候类型区的地理涵义。研究结果表明：①《公约》定义的荒漠化潜在发生范围及各气候类型区的划分标准不完全适用于中国。②中国的荒漠化发生在极干旱区、干旱区、半干旱区和亚湿润干旱区。极干旱区对应极旱荒漠,干旱区对应典型荒漠、草原化荒漠以及荒漠草原,半干旱区对应典型草原,亚湿润干旱区对应草甸草原中偏干旱的部分。③修订后中国荒漠化潜在发生范围总面积约4 524 089.1 km²,约占国土总面积的47.1％,其中亚湿润干旱区、半干旱区、干旱区和极干旱区分别占12.6％、28.8％、34.4％和24.2％。荒漠化潜在发生范围修订后比修订前增加1 207 056.9 km²,其中亚湿润干旱区面积减少,半干旱区、干旱区和极干旱区面积增加。  相似文献
