Optimizing precipitation station location: a case study of the Jinsha River Basin

Precipitation stations are important components of a hydrological monitoring network. Given their critical role in rainfall forecasting and flood warnings, along with limited observation resources, determining the optimal locations to deploy precipitation stations presents an important problem. In this paper, we use a maximal covering location problem to identify the best precipitation station sites. Considering the terrain conditions and the characteristics of a rainfall network, the original maximal covering location model is modified with the introduction of a set of additional constraints. The minimum density requirement is used to determine a precipitation station’s coverage range, and three weighting schemes are used to evaluate each demand object’s covering priority. As a typical mountainous watershed with high annual precipitation, the Jinsha River Basin is selected as the study area to test the applicability of the proposed method. Results show that the proposed method is effective for precipitation station configuration optimization, and the model solution achieves higher coverage than the real-world deployment. Compared with the commercial solver CPLEX, a genetic algorithm-based heuristic can significantly reduce the computation time when the problem size is large. Several deployment strategies are also discussed for establishing the optimal configuration of precipitation stations.     

基于热力学定律的土体动力Hardin-Drnevich模型再认识

从Masing二倍法构造的Hardin—Drnevich模型的卸荷再加荷滞回曲线出发,以热力学定律为基础,考虑了塑性中心的移动为直线和骨架曲线两种情况下的耗散函数表达形式,应用Ziegler正交条件,通过对耗散函数求一阶偏导,得到耗散应力空间中的屈服函数表达式,并引入耗散应力和真实应力之间的差别项即转移应力,从而得到真实应力空间中的屈服函数。屈服曲线的绘制表明了对于塑性中心的不同转移规律,屈服曲线遵循同样的变化规律：应变在某一范围内,剪切形的屈服曲线是直线形式;当应变超过某一阈值时,剪切形的屈服曲线呈现弯曲。此外,还给出了应变的阈值。

长江流域降水极值的变化趋势

依据1960-2005年长江流域147个气象站逐日降水,ECHAM5/MPI-OM气候模式模拟的长江流域79个格点20世纪实验期(1941-2000年)以及未来3种排放情景(SRES-B1,A1B,A2)下21世纪前50年逐日降水数据,建立年最大强降水和汛期<1.27 mm/d的最长干旱持续天数序列。运用广义极值分布,广义帕雷托分布,广义逻辑分布与韦克比分布等4种分布函数定量拟合了长江流域降水极值的概率分布。研究表明:韦克比分布函数能够较好地拟合长江流域降水极值的概率分布。在3种排放情景下,未来降水极值的重现期呈现不同的空间分布特征。长江流域,尤其是中下游大部地区,1951-2000年间的50年一遇强降水和干旱事件,在2001-2050年间发展成为25年一遇降水极值事件。未来气候变暖条件下,降水极值重现期出现的这种变化趋势,将会对水资源趋势产生重大的影响。     

萨拉乌苏动物群有关属种的修订与讨论

随着地层学和年代学工作的深入开展,对萨拉乌苏河地区的地层划分愈加仔细;原含萨拉乌苏动物群的地层现在被划分为下部的萨拉乌苏组和上部的城川组。相应地,过去的萨拉乌苏动物群也被划分为萨拉乌苏动物群和城川动物群;而萨拉乌苏动物群又被进一步划分为下部组合和上部组合,下部组合含王氏水牛和诺氏古菱齿象化石,与欧洲的末次间冰期对应;上部组合以野驴和披毛犀为主,与末次冰期第一阶段对应。但对萨拉乌苏河地区晚更新世动物群中有些属种的分类命名问题,一直未达成共识,有些甚至存在错误认识。关于萨拉乌苏动物群是否含有肿骨大角鹿的问题,争论持续了近20年。最新研究表明,在萨拉乌苏组中发现的两件有肿厚现象的大角鹿下颌骨,应当归入河套中国大角鹿(Sinomegaceros ordosianus),而非肿骨大角鹿。因为,下颌骨肿厚是大角鹿类所有种的共有特征。过去很多文献中提到萨拉乌苏动物群中有"蒙古鹿",经笔者核对,该名称最早被用于"大角鹿蒙古变种"(Cervus megacerosvar.mongoliae)和"蒙古马鹿"(Cervus mongoliae);但这两个名称后来均被弃置不用。关于萨拉乌苏动物群中的恰克图转角羚羊,后来曾有人将其转入许家窑扭角羚,经笔者研究,认为萨拉乌苏河地区的转角羚羊应保持原有名称,即恰克图转角羚羊。

柴北缘塔塔楞环斑花岗岩的岩相学和地球化学特征

塔塔楞环斑花岗岩是柴达木盆地北缘一个古生代复式岩体。该环斑花岗岩在主量元素上, 具有富SiO2、K2O和FeO*, 高K2O/Na2O和FeO*/MgO的特点, 其平均值分别为72.86％、5.17％和3.35％,2.22和10.73;∑REE在279.1×10－6～300.3×10－之间,（La/Lu）N为11.32～13.14,δEu在0.28～0.38之间;Ba、Rb、Pb、Th等元素的含量高,而Sr、Cr、Ni、V等元素的含量低。与经典环斑花岗岩相比,二者在岩相学上相同,在地球化学上也有相似之处,即该岩体也表现为高钾、富铁和LREE,Eu亏损的特征,但部分微量元素与典型环斑花岗岩有一定差异。岩体的形成时代和区域构造背景的综合分析显示,该岩体可能是早古生代后碰撞或后造山伸展构造环境下的产物。     

Ground Moving Target Indication Using an InSAR System With a Hybrid Baseline

In this letter, a two-channel airborne experimental interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) designed for terrain height estimation is exploited to acquire the ability of ground moving target indication (GMTI). Due to the hybrid baseline of this system, the interferometric phase changes with the target motion as well as the terrain height. The fluctuation of the interferometric phase worsens the performance of the clutter suppression and the radial velocity estimation. In order to resolve this problem, a GMTI method with three steps is proposed. After two steps are used to eliminate the local flat-Earth phase and the cross-track interferometric phase of the scene, respectively, an adaptive filtering method is used to suppress the stationary clutter with the benefit of calibrating the sensor responses. A conventional constant false alarm rate detector is then used to indicate the moving targets. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated with real data collected using an experimental airborne InSAR system.      

ADCP measured flow current of the middle-lower Changjiang River channel

The water column flow velocity of 36 river sections in the river reach between Hankou (Wuhan) and Wuxue of the middle-lower Changjiang River. Their cross sectional distribution patterns in relation to the river channel morphologies were examined by using ship-mounted ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) instrument. The results indicate four (I-VI) types of river channel morphology associated flow patterns: I—laterally deepening riverbed topographic pattern; II—symmetrical to asymmetrical riverbed topographic pattern; III—relative flat riverbed topographic pattern, and IV—sandbar supported riverbed topographic pattern. All these correspond to the different patterns of flow velocity distribution. The maximum flow velocity is usually related to the deeper water depth, but irregular water column distribution of flow current velocity results often from the vortices’ current associated with river knots. Deeper river water depth is usually identified in the river reach located slightly downstream to the river knot, where faster flow velocity occurs. Downward change in flow velocity fits semi-log law, showing an exponential decreasing flow current with the maximum flow velocity near the water surface. However, in the river reach near the river knots, the water column distribution of flow current velocity does not fit the semi-log law, showing the irregular flow current pattern. This study, in context of river catchment management, highlights the controls of riverbed morphology to the flow current structure, which will shed light on the post study of Three Gorges damming in 2009.
