Fast sequential indicator simulation: Beyond reproduction of indicator variograms

Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS), although widely used, is relatively slow, and requires tedious inference of a large number of indicator variogram models. SIS is designed only to estimate class proportions and to reproduce indicator variogram models; the statistics of the continuous attribute being simulated,z-histogram and variogram, may be poorly reproduced. Several implementations of the SIS algorithm are proposed resulting in better reproduction of statistics yet with better CPU performance.     

Distribution of quasars and formation of large-scale structures

According to the proposal developed by Fanget al. (1984, referred to as Paper I) on formation of large-scale structure in the Universe, we should expect that:

1. The distributions of quasars should be different from that of galaxies by no strong inhomogeneity on the scale of 10–100 Mpc.
2. The distributions of quasars withZ>2 andZ<2 should be different from each other with no large-scale structure in the former, and conversely in the latter.

Our various statistical results obtained from quasar distributions are consistent with these predictions. Particularly, the nearest neighbour test for the complete quasar sample given by Savage and Bolton (1979) clearly shows that the distribution ofZ>2 quasars is rather homogeneous while theZ<2 quasars have a tendency to cluster.     

Feature analysis and primary causes of pre-flood season “cumulative effect” of torrential rain over South China

When persistent rainfall occurs frequently over South China, meso-scale and micro-scale synoptic systems persist and expand in space and time and eventually form meso-scale and long-scale weather processes. The accumulation of multiple torrential rain processes is defined as a “cumulative effect” of torrential rain (CETR) event. In this paper, daily reanalysis datasets collected by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction-Department of Energy (NCEP-DOE) during 1979–2014 are used to study the anomalous features and causes of heavy CETR events over South China. The results show that there is a significant difference in the spatial distribution of the heavy CETR events. Based on the center position of the CETR, the middle region displayed middle-region-heavy CETR events while the western region displayed west-region-heavy CETR events. El Niño events in the previous period (December, January, February, March (DJFM)) are major extra-forcing factors of middle-region-heavy CETR events, which is beneficial for the continuous, anomalous Philippine Sea anticyclone and strengthens the West Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH), extending it more westward than normal. The primary water vapor source for precipitation in middle-region-heavy CETR events is the Tropical Western Pacific Ocean. The major extra-forcing factor of a west-region-heavy CETR is the negative anomaly in the southern Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) during the previous period (DJFM). This factor is beneficial for strengthening the cross-equatorial flow and westerly winds from the Bay of Bengal to the South China Sea (SCS) and early SCS summer monsoon onset. The primary water vapor source of precipitation in the west-region-heavy CETR is the southern TIO.     

双偏振天气雷达旋转关节对差分反射率因子测量结果的影响

旋转关节的质量在很大程度上影响了双偏振天气雷达双通道信号的一致性,由于现实生产工艺中旋转关节在结构上的不对称,造成双偏振天气雷达差分反射率因子(Z_(dr))的系统偏差随方位角和俯仰角发生变化,极大地影响了利用雷达数据进行定量估测降水及相态识别的精度。文章利用南京信息工程大学C波段双偏振天气雷达机内信号源的连续波输出对该雷达的方位旋转关节和俯仰旋转关节造成的Z_(dr)测量误差进行了检测,结果表明旋转关节对双偏振天气雷达Z_(dr)的测量结果有一定的影响,综合VCP扫描模式及RHI扫描模式的结果得出旋转关节造成的影响较为稳定,为进一步利用雷达数据进行旋转关节误差订正提供了一定理论支撑。

Spatial-temporal characteristics of the “cumulative effect” of torrential rain over South China

To expand torrential rain, which is a meso- and microscale weather process, to a meso- and long-scale weather process, in this paper, we choose South China as a sample region and propose the conception of the “Cumulative Effect” of torrential rain (CETR) by using daily precipitation observational data from 740 stations. Through a statistical analysis of the observations, three indexes—continuous time (L _d), control area (A _r), and precipitation contribution rate (Q _s)—are used to define the CETR and indicate the torrential rain processes. The relationships between the CETR and simultaneous total precipitation over South China are analyzed in the pre-flooding and latter flooding seasons. This analysis shows that on both interannual and interdecadal scales, the three indexes are highly correlated with simultaneous total precipitation over South China in the pre-flooding season and latter flooding season. Moreover, an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is performed to classify the spatial distribution of the CETR. In both the pre-flooding season and the latter flooding season, the four major spatial models of torrential rain are similar to those of total precipitation over South China. With regard to the amount of precipitation caused by the CETR, the latter flooding season is affected more significantly than the pre-flooding season. Regarding the geographical distribution of precipitation, the opposite result occurs. In conclusion, in both the pre-flooding season and the latter flooding season, the CETR influences and even determines the amount and distribution of precipitation over South China.

Latitude versus Depth Simulations of Ecodynamics and Dissolved Gas Chemistry Relationships in the Central Pacific

Nutrient ecology and trace gas processing are intimately coupled in the surface ocean and participate in key linkages through the Earth biogeochemical system. We have added water column photochemistry for volatile sulfur and organic compounds to large scale nutrient cycle modules, in order to create a one dimensional, open ocean ecochemistry simulator. Phyto- and zooplankton, recyclers and biological waste products are represented through N and Fe densities. Dimethyl sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and the methyl halides are tracked individually along with certain precursors and nonmethane hydrocarbons. The model is applied along the 180 degree meridian in the Northern Hemisphere. Ecodynamics are validated against satellite ocean color maps. Biological/photochemical production terms are then iterated upon to match measured distributions for the trace gases. Data are most complete for dimethyl sulfide. Major patterns in its climatology are captured within individual ecological provinces. However, at the basin scale reduced sulfur release must be varied over almost an order of magnitude because the mechanism developed contains only one plant taxon. Based on sparser data, first order rate constants are estimated for phytoplanktonic exudation of the methyl halides. Parameters are also established for photolytic injection of carbonyl sulfide and propylene from the dissolved organics. Ocean general circulation models and interactive ocean-atmosphere transport simulations are discussed as frameworks for future application.
