A Prospective on Zelinsky's Hypothesis of the Mobility Transition

Wilbur Zelinsky's 1971 paper in Geographical Review entitled the “Hypothesis of the Mobility Transition” was both forward‐looking and offered innovative ideas regarding human geographic mobility. One of the most interesting aspects of the paper was a set of predictions for mobility in a “future superadvanced society”. Many of these predictions have now come to pass, including a general decline in international and internal migration and residential change, the increasing regulation of migration ‐ especially internally, and the possibility that the widespread adoption of information and communication technologies has impacted human geographic mobility. Hence, this essay looks at the mobility transition not as an obsolete frame of reference but as a prescient, pliable, and adaptable framework which not only informs the study of human geographic mobility today but also, perhaps, even into the future.     

Japan’s urban singles: negotiating alternatives to family households and standard housing pathways

In comparison to other advanced economies, the rise of people living alone in Japan has been late and rapid, with singletons now accounting for almost half of all households in major cities. The normative and structural frameworks surrounding standard family-household formation, however, remain formidable, reducing life-course opportunities for non-family formers. This paper considers the household and housing pathways being negotiated by younger-adults living independently. In addition to various secondary data sources, we draw on qualitative interviews with 35 individuals from 28 Tokyo households in addressing manifestations of, and resistance to, atomisation and individualisation in the Japanese context. Our analysis focuses on meanings and practices of homemaking among renters and buyers in the growing sector of single-person dwellings, as well as the recent emergence of commercial shared housing . This analysis provides a contrast to discourses surrounding the “singles boom” and “the growing appeal of living alone” in Western cities.     

Comparison of Speed-Up Over Hills Derived from Wind-Tunnel Experiments,Wind-Loading Standards,and Numerical Modelling

We evaluate the accuracy of the speed-up provided in several wind-loading standards by comparison with wind-tunnel measurements and numerical predictions, which are carried out at a nominal scale of 1:500 and full-scale, respectively. Airflow over two- and three-dimensional bell-shaped hills is numerically modelled using the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes method with a pressure-driven atmospheric boundary layer and three different turbulence models. Investigated in detail are the effects of grid size on the speed-up and flow separation, as well as the resulting uncertainties in the numerical simulations. Good agreement is obtained between the numerical prediction of speed-up, as well as the wake region size and location, with that according to large-eddy simulations and the wind-tunnel results. The numerical results demonstrate the ability to predict the airflow over a hill with good accuracy with considerably less computational time than for large-eddy simulation. Numerical simulations for a three-dimensional hill show that the speed-up and the wake region decrease significantly when compared with the flow over two-dimensional hills due to the secondary flow around three-dimensional hills. Different hill slopes and shapes are simulated numerically to investigate the effect of hill profile on the speed-up. In comparison with more peaked hill crests, flat-topped hills have a lower speed-up at the crest up to heights of about half the hill height, for which none of the standards gives entirely satisfactory values of speed-up. Overall, the latest versions of the National Building Code of Canada and the Australian and New Zealand Standard give the best predictions of wind speed over isolated hills.     

GVR机载微波辐射计反演算法适用性分析

为研究GVR(G-band water Vapor Radiometer)机载微波辐射计自带反演算法在天津地区的适用性,将2016年北京探空资料分成春夏秋冬,对垂直累积液态水和垂直累积水汽的反演精度进行数值模拟检验。结果表明:垂直累积液态水反演精度随高度变化不明显,春夏秋冬4个季节反演结果相对偏差值范围分别为29%~78%、31%~71%、36%~67%、35%~79%,绝对偏差值范围分别为0.04~0.492 mm、0.075~0.294 mm、0.074~0.315mm、0.116~0.347mm;垂直累积水汽反演精度随高度降低(3000m以上降低更为明显),春、夏、秋、冬4个季节相对偏差3000m以下时分别为2.6%~20.8%、7.9%~19.1%、4.3%~16.5%、3.4%~14.2%,3000m以上时分别为6.4%~89.7%、12.5%~36.9%、13.2%~50%、11.8%~301%。与其他类型机载微波辐射计反演精度及GVR在北极地区地基观测反演精度相比,GVR自带反演算法在天津地区的垂直累积液态水和垂直累积水汽反演精度明显偏低。     

基于智慧气象的数据接口的实现

物联网、云计算、移动互联、大数据等新一代智能技术的迅猛发展,为智慧气象产品提供了技术支撑。由于气象信息系统数据类型多种多样,且来自多个部门、跨越多个系统平台,数据结构和格式也不相同,因此数据读取与处理是一项异常复杂的工程。为了解决该问题,开发了基于智慧气象的气象服务数据接口。基于智慧气象的数据接口,具有跨平台性、良好的响应速度、通用的数据交换格式,可使各种应用之间相互通信,并能创建新的应用。基于智慧气象的气象服务数据接口为RESTful风格,返回格式为JSON。数据接口的开发采用JAVA语言,基于Spring MVC+Spring Security Oauth2开发框架实现。数据存储采用Oracle数据库,分为冷、热两种数据。客户端对数据接口的访问,采用HTTP GET的方式发出数据请求,访问服务资源地址,获得JSON格式的数据返回结果。为加强数据接口访问的安全性,采用HTTPS POST方式访问授权接口获取访问令牌。基于智慧气象的数据接口,已为微信、微博、手机APP、网站等多个系统及保险公司、市政等多个单位提供数据支撑,且气象服务数据接口系统安全性高,具有较好的用户体验和兼容性。
