Researches on Cartographic Database-Based Interactive Three-Dimensional Topographic Map

With the development of computer graphics, the three-dimensional (3D) visualization brings new technological revolution to the traditional cartography. Therefore, the topographic 3D-map emerges to adapt to this technological revolution, and the applications of topographic 3D-map are spread rapidly to other relevant fields due to its incomparable advantage. The researches on digital map and the construction of map database offer strong technical support and abundant data source for this new technology, so the research and development of topographic 3D-map will receive greater concern. The basic data of the topographic 3D-map are rooted mainly in digital map and its basic model is derived from digital elevation model (DEM) and 3D-models of other DEM-based geographic features. In view of the potential enormous data and the complexity of geographic features, the dynamic representation of geographic information becomes the focus of the research of topographic 3D-map and also the prerequisite condition of 3D query and analysis. In addition to the equipment of hardware that are restraining, to a certain extent, the 3D representation, the data organization structure of geographic information will be the core problem of research on 3D-map. Level of detail (LOD). space partitioning, dynamic object loading (DOL) and object culling are core technologies of the dynamic 3D representation. The objectselection, attribute-query and model-editing are important functions and interaction tools for users with 3D-maps provided by topographic 3D-map system, all of which are based on the data structure of the 3D-model. This paper discusses the basic theories, concepts and cardinal principles of topographic 3I)-map,expounds the basic way to organize the scene hierarchy of topographic 3D-map based on the node mechanism and studies the dynamic representation technologies of topographic 3D-map based on LOD, space partitioning, DOL and object culling. Moreover. such interactive operation functions are explored, in this paper, as spatial query, scene editing and management of topographic 3D-map. Finally, this paper describes briefly the applications of topographic 3D-map in its related fields.     

Temperature trends in Japan: 1900–1996

Summary ?Long-term trends in annual, seasonal, and monthly mean temperature (abbreviated as AMT, SMT, MMT, respectively) in Japan are investigated. The magnitude of a trend is measured by assuming it to be linear. The statistical significance of a site trend is assessed by the Mann-Kendall (MK) with consideration of serial correlation. The statistical field significance of trends in three major climatic regions: Hokkaido (I), areas adjacent to the Japan sea (II), and to the Pacific Ocean (III), is evaluated by the bootstrapping test which preserves cross-correlation among sites. From 1900 to 1996, AMT increased from 0.51 to 2.77 °C averaged across all 46 sites. At the regional scale, AMT increased by 1.38, 1.08, and 1.32 °C in regions I, II, and III, respectively. The trends at both sites and regions are statistically significant even at the significance level (α) of 0.005. SMT increased from 0.47 to 3.69 °C at all the 19 available sites with the highest increases in winter and spring. Except for a few series, the changes in SMT are statistically significant at α = 0.01. The upward trends in SMT are statistically significant even at α = 0.001 in both regions II and III. MMT at 19 sites increased within a wide range from 0.17 to 4.12 °C. The increases are largest in the winter and spring months, and most of the site increases are statistically significant at α = 0.05. The trends are statistically significant at α = 0.025 and 0.001 in regions II and III, respectively. The trends in both SMT and MMT in region III are larger than those in region II.

Studies on wind environment around high buildings in urban areas

High buildings or architectural complex in urban areas remarkably distort the urban surface wind fields. As the air flow approaches,local strong wind may appear around the buildings. The strong wind makes the pedestrians on sidewalks, entrances and terrace very uncomfortable and causes the pedestrian level wind environment problem. In this studies, hot-wire wind measurement, wind scouring in wind tunnel and numerical computation were carried out to evaluate the wind environment of tall buildings in the prevailing flow conditions in Beijing areas. The results obtained by three techniques were compared and mutually verified. The conclusions drawn from three approaches agree with each other. Also the advantages and limitations of each method were analyzed. It is suggested that the combination of different techniques may produce better assessment of wind environment around high buildings.
