In this paper, an attempt has been made to derive the tasselled cap coefficients manually following the rigorous mathematical computations for the three-band Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) data. Considering ten DMC images of same season, it has been found that the first two transformation components, namely brightness and greenness can capture on an average 94.44 % of the three band variance of the DMC image. The coefficients of TC transformation equations for DMC image were derived considering the above mentioned ten DMC images. For the application purpose the TC images were applied to classify the forest types of the New Forest area of UK. For the comparison purpose, the tasselled cap images generated after the automated transformation of the Landsat 7 ETM+ image of the same area were considered to classify the forest types. A series of statistical intra-image and inter-image comparisons were conducted to find out the intra and inter-relationships between the brightness and greenness images obtained from the two different sensors. Finally, the accuracies of both the classified images were assessed based on the field collected GPS data. It was estimated that the overall accuracies of the classified DMC and ETM+ images were 77.44 % and 81.43 % respectively. 相似文献
Study of landforms in Sundarbans deltaic estuary is necessary in regular basis due to its importance and impact on ecology,
climate and economy. Remote sensing has proved as an important tool to study this. Multi-temporal satellite data helps to
delineate the various geomorphic classes in different time domain and also provide inputs to study the coastal erosion and
accretion. Finer spatial and better temporal resolution will be an added adventure for this kind of study. 相似文献
An attempt has been made to use synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for detection and monitoring of offshore oil seeps in the eastern offshore areas of the Krishna–Godavari Basin, which has been supplemented and correlated with collateral free-air gravity and seismic data. Images of the study area obtained from ENVISAT ASAR image mode were processed and analysed in detail. A number of natural oil seepages were identified and distinguished from pollution and biogenic slicks. These were subsequently studied using different parameters to assign various degrees of confidence. The repetitiveness of the identified seepages was studied and a total of five areas of seep repetitions had been recognized in the study area. The seeps that are repeated in images of different dates are more likely to be of natural origin than others. Simulation and modelling of a particular oil slick arising has been attempted over the Krishna–Godavari offshore using MIKE 21 software. 相似文献
Operational meteorology is perceived as a fuzzy environment in which information is vaguely defined. The mesoscale processes
such as fog, stratus and convection are generally dependent on the topography of the place and has always been difficult to
forecast for the meteorologists. The main objective of the present study is to introduce the concept of fuzzy inference system (FIS) in the prediction of fog. This approach uses the concept of a pure fuzzy logic system where the fuzzy rule base
consists of a collection of fuzzy IF-THEN rules. The fuzzy inference engine uses these fuzzy IF-THEN rules to determine a mapping from fuzzy sets in the input universe of discourse to fuzzy sets in the output universe of discourse
based on fuzzy logic principles. Basic weather elements, which affect weather characteristics of fog, are fuzzified. These
are then used in fuzzy weather prediction models based on fuzzy inferences. These models are simulated and the crisp results
obtained using developed defuzzification strategies are compared with the actual weather data. The basis of methodology is
to construct the fuzzy rule base domain from the available daily current weather observations in winter season over New Delhi.
The results reveal that dew point spread and rate of change of dew point spread are the most important parameters for the
formation of fog. The results further indicate that fog formation over New Delhi are dominant when (i) dew point is greater
then 7°C along with dew point spread between 1 and 3°C. (ii) rate of change of dew point spread must be negative and wind
speed should be less than 4 knots. This study presents a technique for predicting the probability of fog over New Delhi for
5–6 hours in advance. The skill score indicates that the performance of FIS is appreciably good. The method is found to be
promising for operational application. 相似文献
Summary In this paper, the shear displacement due to a transverse periodic surface traction on a semi-infinite elastic solid, in which the rigidity and density vary exponentially with the depth has been obtained. The normal modes are calculated for high frequencies and the surface displacement obtained numerically in a particular case for a low frequency. 相似文献
An experimental study has been carried out in the Mainz vertical wind tunnel to determine the rate at which NH3 in the presence of CO2 is absorbed by freely suspended water drops. The experimental uptake rates were found to be in good agreement with the rates predicted by the Kronig-Brink convective diffusion model and, for gas concentrations in the ppbv range also by the model in which it is assumed that the absorbed gas is well mixed inside the drop (henceforth called well mixed model). The same conclusion was shown to apply also to the desorption of NH3 from a drop previously exposed to NH3. The latter result is in contrast to the desorption of SO2 which must be described by a model which accounts for the diffusion of the species inside the drop. Comparison of our experimental results with theory show further that the uptake of NH3 in presence of CO2 is significantly overestimated if the slow reaction CO2(aq)+H2OHCO
3–
+H+ is neglected in the theoretical computation. 相似文献
We study the gravity driven flow of two fluid phases in a one dimensional homogeneous porous column when history dependence of the pressure difference between the phases (capillary pressure) is taken into account. In the hyperbolic limit, solutions of such systems satisfy the Buckley-Leverett equation with a non-monotone flux function. However, solutions for the hysteretic case do not converge to the classical solutions in the hyperbolic limit in a wide range of situations. In particular, with Riemann data as initial condition, stationary shocks become possible in addition to classical components such as shocks, rarefaction waves and constant states. We derive an admissibility criterion for the stationary shocks and outline all admissible shocks. Depending on the capillary pressure functions, flux function and the Riemann data, two cases are identified a priori for which the solution consists of a stationary shock. In the first case, the shock remains at the point where the initial condition is discontinuous. In the second case, the solution is frozen in time in at least one semi-infinite half. The predictions are verified using numerical results.
Summary In this note the surface displacement for an elastic half-space due to a finite cylindrical source has been calculated in exact terms. The source consists of outward body forces acting on the surface of the right circular cylinder, one end of which is parallel to the free surface of the half-space. 相似文献
Environmental concerns regarding the potential for drinking water contamination in shallow aquifers have accompanied unconventional energy development in the northern Appalachian Basin. These activities have also raised several critical questions about the hydrogeological parameters that control the naturally occurring presence and migration of hydrocarbon gases in shallow aquifers within petroliferous basins. To interrogate these factors, we analyzed the noble gas, dissolved ion, and hydrocarbon gas (molecular and isotopic composition) geochemistry of 98 groundwater samples from south‐central New York. All samples were collected ?1km from unconventional drilling activities and sample locations were intentionally targeted based on their proximity to various types of documented fault systems. In agreement with studies from other petroliferous basins, our results show significant correlations between elevated levels of radiogenic [4He], thermogenic [CH4], and dissolved ions (e.g., Cl, Br, Sr, Ba). In combination, our data suggest that faults have facilitated the transport of exogenous hydrocarbon‐rich brines from Devonian source rocks into overlying Upper Devonian aquifer lithologies over geologic time. These data conflict with previous reports, which conclude that hydrodynamic focusing regulates the occurrence of methane and salt in shallow aquifers and leads to elevated levels of these species in restricted flow zones within valley bottoms. Instead, our data suggest that faults in Paleozoic rocks play a fundamental role in gas and brine transport from depth, regulate the distribution of their occurrence in shallow aquifers, and influence the geochemistry of shallow groundwater in this petroliferous basin. 相似文献
