CT图象重建的算法优化和代码优化

卷积反投影是CT图象重建的最重要算法作为一种线性处理,其基本算法并不复杂,但由于CT的数据量庞大,使得图象重建的计算十分耗时.国外CT大都采用基于64位CPU的工作站并配以专门为CT建象设计的阵列处理板,这种昂贵的造价数十万元的计算机系统对一般医院用户来说是很大的经济负担.相反我们一直采用通用PC工作站,不仅降低了成本,而且计算机可以得到迅速的升级.这样,为满足医院临床诊断和治疗对建象速度的需要,我们就必须对该算法进行优化,优化的效果也成为CT软件能否适应市场需要,能否最终产品化的关键.本文总结了针对CT图象重建分别在算法层次和代码层次上所做的优化工作.第一,在算法实现的层次上,(1)在反投影算法中,进行内外循环交换,将最内层循环的计算量最大限度地减少,(2)利用反投影算法的对称性,只计算出部分图象数据并对称得到其它图象数据,(3)根据不同的视野范围自动调整反投影的计算量,(4)充分利用FFT的特点,提高实数线性卷积的效率.(5)数据的行列交换,用于提高CPU对数据的存取速度.第二,在代码编程的层次上,充分利用新一代微机CPU--Pentium III提供的新资源、新指令和相应的代码优化工具软件,重新编写算法关键部分的程序代码,以提高程序的实际执行效率.在东大阿尔派全身CT扫描机CT-C2000上的实际测试表明,通过上述算法优化和代码优化,CT图象重建软件的运行速度提高了8倍以上,己达到了医院实际使用的要求.

Analysis of the surface temperature and wind forecast errors of the NCAR-AirDat operational CONUS 4-km WRF forecasting system

Investigating the characteristics of model-forecast errors using various statistical and object-oriented methods is necessary for providing useful guidance to end-users and model developers as well. To this end, the random and systematic errors (i.e., biases) of the 2-m temperature and 10-m wind predictions of the NCAR-AirDat weather research and forecasting (WRF)-based real-time four-dimensional data assimilation (RTFDDA) and forecasting system are analyzed. This system has been running operationally over a contiguous United States (CONUS) domain at a 4-km grid spacing with four forecast cycles daily from June 2009 to September 2010. In the result an exceptionally useful forecast dataset was generated and used for studying the error properties of the model forecasts, in terms of both a longer time period and a broader coverage of geographic regions than previously studied. Spatiotemporal characteristics of the errors are investigated based on the 24-h forecasts between June 2009 and April 2010, and the 72-h forecasts between May and September 2010. It was found that the biases of both wind and temperature forecasts vary greatly seasonally and diurnally, with dependency on the forecast length, station elevation, geographical location, and meteorological conditions. The temperature showed systematic cold biases during the daytime at all station elevations and warm biases during the nighttime above 1,000 m above sea level (ASL), while below 600 m ASL cold biases occurred during the nighttime. The forecasts of surface wind speed exhibited strong positive biases during the nighttime, while the negative biases were observed in the spring and summer afternoons. The surface wind speed was mostly over-predicted except for the stations located between 1,000 and 2,100 m ASL, for which negative biases were identified for most forecast cycles. The highest wind-speed errors were found over the high terrain and near sea-level stations. The wind-direction errors were relatively large at the high-terrain elevation in the Rocky and Appalachian mountain ranges and the western coastal areas and the error structure exhibited notable diurnal variability.

多普勒雷达基本观测量直接同化对模式物理量场的影响

在GRAPES一3DVar雷达同化模块的基础上,建立了多普勒径向速度和基本反射率因子的直接同化观测算子,实现了雷达反射率因子和径向速度的直接同化,并对2007年7月3日的江淮梅雨进行了模拟试验。结果表明,多普勒径向速度的直接同化的主要影响表现在风场上,能够改善几乎整个三维风场分析,在雷达影响半径范围内,风场明显得到加强,影响当时天气的系统及其高低层配置被合理模拟,但对湿度场影响甚微。雨水混合比的直接同化的主要影响表现在湿度场上,改进了模式对湿度场的模拟,对降水的影响十分显著,有利于准确模拟降水的发展和维持,减小了Spin—up现象;其亦可使整个风场微弱增强,但影响甚微。     

双线偏振多普勒天气雷达遥测降水强度和液态含水量的方法和精度研究

利用雨滴谱的Г分布和散射计算模式,研究了C波段双线偏振多普勒天气雷达遥测降水强度、液态含水量和识别降水粒子相态的方法,给出了利用反射率因子ZH、差分反射率因子ZDR、差传播相移KDP反演降水强度和液态含水量的三种公式以及这三个物理量的关系公式,并从雨滴谱的变化和雷达测量误差两方面比较了几种方法的测雨精度.结果表明:雨滴谱在很大范围变化时,利用ZDR和KDP可以很好地反演出降水强度和液态含水量,它受滴谱分布的影响不大,它的探测精度优于(ZH,ZDR)方法.单参数KDP方法优于传统的Z-R关系方法.同时给出的ZH与ZDR和KDP关系公式也基本不受雨滴谱变化的影响,它可以用于降水粒子相态的识别.双参数方法的测量误差主要来源于雷达测量ZDR和KDP的误差,特别是KDP的误差,改善KDP的测量误差是发挥双线偏振多普勒雷达探测降水强度或液态含水量潜力的关键.

Transport of water vapor over North China during the drought period in summer of 1980

The features of water vapor transport, such as temporal evolution, vertical structure and spatial pattern, over North China during the prolonged drought in the summer of 1980 have been analyzed through computation of water vapor flux based on the once daily ECMWF grid-point data at 12GMT. The results indicate that it is unlikely that the characteristics of the atmospheric mass divergence, ascending motion and stratification stability in North China were completely opposite to those in the Yangtze River Valley, where the heavy flood occurred in the summer of 1980. It is major differences that the strong ascending motion and significant water vapor convergence overlap fairly well each other in the vertical levels in the Yangtze River Valley, while the maximum ascending motion is accompa-nied by water vapor divergence or weak water vapor convergence in North China. This vertical structure in North China results in insufficient water vapor supply and, therefore, little condensation and precipitation in the middle and upper atmosphere were produced. Additionally, a mode of monthly-scale low frequency oscillation can be found in water vapor flux, which is in correspondence to the fluctuation period of rainfall.     

Biomass Burning in Southern Africa: Individual Particle Characterization of Atmospheric Aerosols and Savanna Fire Samples

Ambient atmospheric aerosols and savanna fireparticulate emission samples from southern Africa werecharacterised in terms of particle classes and theirnumber abundance by electron probe X-ray microanalysis(EPXMA). About ten particle classes were identifiedfor each sample. The major classes werealuminosilicates and sea salts for ambient coarse(2–10 m equivalent aerodynamic diameter (EAD))samples, and K-S and S-only particles for ambient fine(<2 m EAD) samples. The K-S particles are oneof the major products of biomass burning. The EPXMAresults were found to be consistent with the resultsfrom bulk analyses on a sample by sample basis. Forsavanna fire fine samples, quantitative EPXMA revealedthat many particles had a composition of simple saltssuch as KCl. Some particles had a deviatingcomposition in the sense that more ionic species wereinvolved in sustaining the balance between cations andanions, and they were composite or mixed salts.Because of extensive processing during the atmospherictransport, the composition of the K-S particles in theambient samples was different from K₂SO₄,and such particles were enriched with S. The finepyrogenic KCl particles and the fine sea-saltparticles were much depleted in chlorine.
