Using an unbaited stationary video system to investigate the behaviour and interactions of bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas under an aquaculture farm

Bull sharks Carcharhinus leucas are common along the coast of Reunion Island (South-West Indian Ocean) and were suspected to aggregate in the vicinity of an aquaculture farm in Saint-Paul Bay on the west coast. In order to understand the behaviour and interaction of bull sharks near aquaculture cages at Saint-Paul Bay, we deployed an experimental unbaited stationary video camera. From 175 hours of recording during daylight hours from March to April 2012, eight individual female bull sharks (seven adults and one immature) were identified based on their natural markings. These sharks were resighted between 3 and 45 times. Residency analysis revealed site attachment under the aquaculture cages for at least three individuals over the course of the study. Recorded behaviours included intraspecific social interactions such as synchronised swimming. Social interactions and relatively strong paired associations for two pairs of females suggest some level of sociality among bull sharks around Reunion Island. Overall, our results demonstrate the utility of unbaited video systems to monitor the behaviour of adult coastal sharks.

利用随机相位编码法恢复多普勒天气雷达二次回波

多普勒速度对分析和预报强对流天气,特别是中尺度气旋、龙卷等过程至关重要,但受多普勒基本原理的限制,天气雷达在提高最大不模糊速度的同时,必然导致速度探测范围减小,进而带来二次甚至多次回波的干扰。为缓解多普勒两难问题,本文基于CINRAD/SA天气雷达体扫模式利用随机相位编码方法恢复二次回波,拓展速度有效探测范围。实例证明随机相位编码方法能够恢复最强的两次回波,滤除其他次弱回波,大大提高了低仰角速度场有效数据的获取率,缓解固定相位下二次回波解模糊算法的局限性造成的距离模糊紫区问题。

一种有效的多尺度时间段剖分方法与整数编码计算

围绕现有时间段编码存在的问题与现状,提出了一种时间段剖分编码方法:多尺度时间段的整数编码(multi-scale time segment integer coding,MTSIC)。该方法通过整数间形成的树状结构和大小排序,体现了不同尺度时间段间的先后、包含/被包含、相交等时间关系,最终实现了对多种尺度时间的统一整数编码化处理。在此基础上,还研究了MTSIC的时间关系的计算方法,用以支持基于时间段剖分的高效计算与查询,并初步探讨了MTSIC的应用方法与前景。试验表明,MTSIC的实现方便可靠,与传统方法转换便捷,在查询计算等方面具有很高的效率

Marine seismics with a pulsed combustion source and Pseudo Noise codes

There has been a long-standing debate concerning how dangerous seismic surveys are with respect to marine life. Marine seismic work today is dominated by airgun technology, where high energy is generated by a release of compressed air into the water. The objective of the “Time coded impulse seismic technique” project is to examine whether a new low energy acoustic source can be used for seismic purposes. If the method turns out to be successful, the low output energy and continuous operation will make the source suitable in environmental sensitive areas. The Low level Acoustic Combustion Source (LACS) is a petrol driven pulsed underwater acoustic source. It operates at a few meters depth, and each shot can be digitally controlled from the surface by a computer located in the mother vessel. A presentation of the recorded LACS signal characteristics, the modulation, the Pseudo Noise coding/decoding principles and field test results, is given. The importance of using an optimized code with fine resolution and of using the near field recording as a correlator sequence is demonstrated. Clear correlation peaks could then be seen from the bottom and sub bottom reflectors.     

Image processing for video images of buoy motion

In this paper, image processing technique that reduces video images of buoy motion to yield time series of image coordinates of buoy objects will be investigated. The buoy motion images are noisy due to time-varying brightness as well as non-uniform background illumination. The occurrence of boats, wakes, and wind-induced white caps interferes significantly in recognition of buoy objects. Thus, semiautomated procedures consisting of object recognition and image measurement aspects will be conducted. These offer more satisfactory results than a manual process. Spectral analysis shows that the image coordinates of buoy objects represent wave motion well, indicating its usefulness in the analysis of wave characteristics.
