Land cover classification of the North China Plain using MODIS_EVI time series

Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data have played an important role in global environmental and resource research. However, its low spatial resolution has been an impediment to researchers pursuing more accurate classification results. In this research, the high temporal resolution of MODIS was employed to improve the accuracy of land cover classification of the North China Plain using MODIS_EVI time series from 2003. Harmonic Analysis of Time Series (HANTS) was performed on the MODIS_EVI image time series to reduce cloud and other noise effects. The improved MODIS_EVI time series was then classified into 100 clusters by the Iterative Self-Organizing Data Analysis Technique (ISODATA). To distinguish ambiguous land cover classes, a decision tree was built on five phenological features derived from EVI profiles, Land Surface Temperature (LST) and topographic slope. The overall accuracy of the final land cover map was 75.5%, indicating the promise of using MODIS EVI time series and decision trees for broad area land cover classification.     

Estimation of Heavy-Metal Contamination in Soil Using Remote Sensing Spectroscopy and a Statistical Approach

Heavy-metal-contaminated soil is a critical environmental issue in suburban regions. This paper focuses on utilizing field spectroscopy to predict the heavy metal contents in soil for two suburban areas in the Jiangning District (JN) and the Baguazhou District (BGZ) in China. The relationship between the surface soil heavy metal contents and spectral features was investigated through statistical modeling. Spectral features of several spectral techniques, including reflectance spectra (RF), the logarithm of reciprocal spectra (LG) and continuum-removal spectra (CR), were employed to establish and calibrate models regarding to Cd, Hg and Pb contents. The optimal bands for each spectral feature were first selected based on the spectra of soil samples with artificially added heavy metals using stepwise multiple linear regressions. With the chosen bands, the average predictive accuracies of the cross-validation, using the coefficient of determination R², for estimating the heavy metal contents in the two field regions were 0.816, 0.796 and 0.652 for Cd; 0.787, 0.888 and 0.832 for Pb; and 0.906 and 0.867 for Hg based on partial least squares regression. Results show that better prediction accuracies were obtained for Cd and Hg, while the poorest prediction was obtained for Pb. Moreover, the performances of the LG and CR models were better than that of the RF model for Pb and Hg, indicating that LG and CR can provide alternative features in determining heavy metal contents. Overall, it’s concluded that Cd, Hg and Pb contents can be assessed using remote-sensing spectroscopy with reasonable accuracy, especially when combined with library and field-collected spectra.

Scaling behaviors of precipitation over China

Scaling behaviors in the precipitation time series derived from 1951 to 2009 over China are investigated by detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) method. The results show that there exists long-term memory for the precipitation time series in some stations, where the values of the scaling exponent α are less than 0.62, implying weak persistence characteristics. The values of scaling exponent in other stations indicate random behaviors. In addition, the scaling exponent α in precipitation records varies from station to station over China. A numerical test is made to verify the significance in DFA exponents by shuffling the data records many times. We think it is significant when the values of scaling exponent before shuffled precipitation records are larger than the interval threshold for 95 % confidence level after shuffling precipitation records many times. By comparison, the daily precipitation records exhibit weak positively long-range correlation in a power law fashion mainly at the stations taking on zonal distributions in south China, upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, northern part of northeast China. This may be related to the subtropical high. Furthermore, the values of scaling exponent which cannot pass the significance test do not show a clear distribution pattern. It seems that the stations are mainly distributed in coastal areas, southwest China, and southern part of north China. In fact, many complicated factors may affect the scaling behaviors of precipitation such as the system of the east and south Asian monsoon, the interaction between sea and land, and the big landform of the Tibetan Plateau. These results may provide a better prerequisite to long-term predictor of precipitation time series for different regions over China.

江淮气旋气候学特征的统计研究

从江淮气旋的定义出发,采用欧洲中期天气预报中心的ERA-Interim再分析资料,运用气旋的客观判定与追踪算法追踪江淮气旋,分析了1979-2010年江淮气旋的气候特征。结果表明:江淮气旋发生的频数有显著的年际变化,但随时间变化的长期趋势并不明显。由于春季冷空气活动频繁,且易与副高西南侧气流汇合形成气旋,因此春季是江淮气旋最活跃的季节,其中5月份江淮气旋发生次数最多;而在冬季,东亚地区受大陆冷高压控制,形势稳定,不易形成气旋,故秋冬季江淮气旋出现较少。受地形和下垫面等因素影响,江淮气旋生成的源地主要位于洞庭湖地区、鄱阳湖地区及大别山区东北侧。43.9%的江淮气旋中心平均降压率为0~-1 h Pa/6h,大多数江淮气旋中心最大降压率为0~-2 h Pa/6h(占66.4%),较难形成暴发性气旋。江淮气旋生命史较短,主要为1~2天。

Differentiation Mechanism and Evolution of High-level Magma Chamber at Xiangshan,China

The calc-alkaline volcanic magmas,which formed the Mesozoic uraniferous volcanic complex of Xiangshan,resulted from partial melting of the mixture of lower crust and enriched mantle with a high mixing proportion in a specific tectonic setting such as active continental margin or ocean-continent collision zone.The preliminary concentrations of Uand Th occur in low-degree par-tial melts.Only small part of these melts was rapidly extracted and erupted and most intruded into the high-level magma chamber(depth:12-13 km) of the compressed upper lithosphere ,in which occurred a strong differentiation which would resulted in strong preconcentrations of the high-hygromagmaphile elements U and Th associated with strong depletion of the 3-d transition ele-ments Ti,Sc,Co,Zr,etc.At the final stage of subduction of the West-Pacific-Kula plate towards the Asian continental plate,the regional tectonic environment was transformed from a compressive in-to a tensional setting.The strongly differentiated,U(and Th) enriched silicic alkalic magmas in high level magma chamber extensively erupted,extruded and intruded.The hydrothermal fluids released as a result of late volcano-degassing and dewatering during crystallization-solidification of magmas,re-sulted in the remobilization,leaching,migration and reconcentration of uranium ,which had been preconcentrated in volcanic rocks.Therefore,specific regional petrogeochemical criteria are expected for the uraniferous volcanic series.
