GeoPW: Laying Blocks for the Geospatial Processing Web

Recent advances in Web‐related technologies have significantly promoted the wide sharing and integrated analysis of distributed geospatial data. Geospatial applications often involve diverse sources of data and complex geoprocessing functions. Existing Web‐based GIS focuses more on access to distributed geospatial data. In scientific problem solving, the ability to carry out geospatial analysis is essential to geoscientific discovery. This article presents the design and implementation of GeoPW, a set of services providing geoprocessing functions over the Web. The concept of the Geospatial Processing Web is discussed to address the geoprocessing demands in the emerging information infrastructure, and the role of GeoPW in establishing the Geospatial Processing Web is identified. The services in GeoPW are implemented by developing middleware that wraps legacy GIS analysis components to provide a large number of geoprocessing utilities over the Web. These services are open and accessible to the public, and they support integrated geoprocessing on the Web.     

A double-differenced cycle slip detection and repair method for GNSS CORS network

The difficulty to detect and repair cycle slip of carrier phase measurements is a key limit for continuously high accuracy of GNSS positioning and navigation services. We propose an automated cycle slip detection and repair method for data preprocessing of a CORS network. The method jointly uses double-differenced (DD) geometry-free (GF) combination and ionospheric-free observation corrected for the computed geometrical distance (IF-OMC) to estimate the cycle slips in dual-frequency observations. The DD GF combination, which is only affected by the ionospheric residual, can be used to detect cycle slips with high reliability except for special pairs such as (77, 60) on GPS L1/L2 frequencies. The detection principle of the IF-OMC observable is such that there is a large discontinuity related to the previous epoch when cycle slips occur at the present epoch. The disadvantages of these two combinations can be overcome employing the proposed detection method. The cycle slip pair (77, 60) has no effect on the GF combination, while a change of 14.65 m is derived from GPS L1/L2 observations using the IF-OMC algorithm. Using pre-determined station coordinates as precise values, we found that the accuracy of the DD IF-OMC combination was 18 mm for a 200-km CORS baseline. Therefore, cycle slips in dual-frequency observations can be correctly and uniquely determined using DD GF and IF-OMC equations. The proposed method was verified by adding simulated cycle slips in observations collected from the CORS network under a quiet ionosphere and shown to be effective. Moreover, the method was assessed with observations made during intense ionospheric activity, which generated extensive cycle slips. The results show that the algorithm can detect and repair all cycle slips apart from two exceptions relating to long data gaps.

辽西义县组奔龙类化石一新种

在辽宁西部义县头台的义县组中新发现的1件奔龙类化石标本,显示出许多中国鸟龙属(Sinornithosaurus)所具有的特征,如上颌骨眶前窝侧面具有装饰性凹坑、前颌骨齿无边缘小锯齿、齿骨后缘二分叉、指节Ⅲ-1略长于指节Ⅲ-2的2倍、?骨Ⅲ部分窄?型形态等。但其头骨的部分骨骼与千禧中国鸟龙(S.millenii)有明显的区别前颌骨主体部分相对较高,其长仅稍大于其高,前颌骨角大,前颌骨上颌突与鼻突均很长,上颌骨不参与外鼻孔的构成,上颌骨窗相对较小且为圆形,方颧骨上升突明显长于颧骨突,齿骨长高之比小等。此外,新标本肠骨的耻骨柄前后方向的宽度小于髋臼宽度。这些不同之处表明,义县头台的标本应为中国鸟龙属另一新种,将其命名为郝氏中国鸟龙(新种)(S.haoianasp.nov.)。

程序升温-气相色谱-同位素比值质谱法分析多环芳烃单体碳同位素组成

环境样品中PAHs的单体碳同位素比值在迁移转化过程中能基本保持稳定,是重要的溯源指标,可通过气相色谱-同位素比值质谱(GC-IRMS)分析获得。对于低PAHs含量的样品,满足GC-IRMS检出限是高精度、准确分析单体碳同位素比值的前提。本文优化了一种程序升温汽化进样(PTV)方法,通过对PTV进样模式及进样口参数进行优化调整,提高目标物谱峰强度,进而提高GC-IRMS碳同位素分析的灵敏度。实验对比研究了恒温不分流、PTV不分流和溶剂分流进样模式,并对PTV进样口参数包括进样口压力梯度、传输温度和时间、蒸发温度和时间、进样口不分流时间进行了对比优化,以选出最优的PAHs单体碳同位素分析条件。结果表明：在PTV不分流进样、进样口压力40psi—60psi—70psi梯度升高、传输温度320℃、传输时间1.0min、蒸发温度55℃、蒸发时间2.5min、不分流时间1.5min条件下,PAHs的单体碳同位素结果最优。增加预柱可以提高峰强,尤其5环PAHs的峰强度提高达50%~100%。单体碳同位素分析精度(1σ)在0.5‰以内,系统性碳同位素分馏可以采用双标法校正。优化后的PTV-GC-IRMS方法可以实现低含量PAHs单体碳同位素的高精度、准确分析,扩大了同位素溯源在环境研究中的适用性。

2.5D direct‐current resistivity forward modelling and inversion by finite‐element–infinite‐element coupled method

To reduce the numerical errors arising from the improper enforcement of the artificial boundary conditions on the distant surface that encloses the underground part of the subsurface, we present a finite‐element–infinite‐element coupled method to significantly reduce the computation time and memory cost in the 2.5D direct‐current resistivity inversion. We first present the boundary value problem of the secondary potential. Then, a new type of infinite element is analysed and applied to replace the conventionally used mixed boundary condition on the distant boundary. In the internal domain, a standard finite‐element method is used to derive the final system of linear equations. With a novel shape function for infinite elements at the subsurface boundary, the final system matrix is sparse, symmetric, and independent of source electrodes. Through lower upper decomposition, the multi‐pole potentials can be swiftly obtained by simple back‐substitutions. We embed the newly developed forward solution to the inversion procedure. To compute the sensitivity matrix, we adopt the efficient adjoint equation approach to further reduce the computation cost. Finally, several synthetic examples are tested to show the efficiency of inversion.
