A New Algorithm for Depth Determination from Total Magnetic Anomalies due to Spheres

We have developed an automatic method to determine the depth of a buried sphere from numerical second horizontal derivative anomalies obtained from total field magnetic data. The method is based on using a relationship between the depth and a combination of observations at symmetric points with respect to the coordinate of the projection of the center of the source in the plane of the measurement points with a free parameter (graticule spacing). The problem of depth determination has been transformed into the problem of finding a solution of a nonlinear equation of f(z) = 0. Procedures are also formulated to determine the magnetic moment and the effective angle of magnetization. The method is applied to synthetic examples with and without random errors and tested on a field example from Senegal. In all cases, the depth solutions are in good agreement with the actual ones.     

东亚金融危机与中国

经历时间长、影响范围广的东亚金融危机是由多方面的原因造成的。它的基础是广泛存在的泡沫经济。金融业的全球一体化,离岸金融中心和金融衍生工具的出现,国际炒家的掀风作浪,加剧了危机的深度。中国由于实质经济比较稳固,对金融业开放持谨慎态度等原因,受到的冲击相对较小。危机给中国敲响了警钟,要求中国尽快进行金融体制的改革。     

识别断裂构造的DCT法

为了提高欧拉反褶积(Euler法)的反演精度,提出基于DCT的Euler法确定断层断点位置的反演方法,从理论上给出了基于DCT的Euler齐次方程,指出异常导数的计算精度是影响Euler法反演精度的核心问题.台阶模型实验证实:用DCT法计算的重力异常垂向一阶导数的最大误差为0.460×10-9/s2,均方差为0.189×10-9/s2,水平导数最大误差为0.182×10-9/s2,均方差为0.028×10-9/s2,与DFT法相比,其计算的异常导数具有很高的精度.通过对正演模型的计算,确定了基于DCT的Euler法模型反演的位置为台阶断面的中心点位,与理论点位相对应;在反演模型实验中,证实了DCT法具有较高的反演精度,同时在实际应用中,进一步验证了该法的可行性、实用性和准确性.     

An Approach to Quantify the Heat Wave Strength and Price a Heat Derivative for Risk Hedging

Mitigating the heat stress via a derivative policy is a vital financial option for agricultural producers and other business sectors to strategically adapt to the climate change scenario. This study has provided an approach to identifying heat stress events and pricing the heat stress weather derivative due to persistent days of high surface air temperature (SAT). Cooling degree days (CDD) are used as the weather index for trade. In this study, a call-option model was used as an example for calculating the price of the index. Two heat stress indices were developed to describe the severity and physical impact of heat waves. The daily Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN-D) SAT data from 1901 to 2007 from the southern California, USA, were used. A major California heat wave that occurred 20-25 October 1965 was studied. The derivative price was calculated based on the call-option model for both long-term station data and the interpolated grid point data at a regular 0.1 ×0.1 latitude-longitude grid. The resulting comparison indicates that (a) the interpolated data can be used as reliable proxy to price the CDD and (b) a normal distribution model cannot always be used to reliably calculate the CDD price. In conclusion, the data, models, and procedures described in this study have potential application in hedging agricultural and other risks.     

利用高光谱数据对作物群体叶绿素密度估算的研究

叶绿素是农作物生长中重要的因素。叶绿素含量既表明作物生长的状况,又表征了作生的生产能力。而叶绿素密度（单位面积农作物的叶绿绿素含量）是估计农作物群体生产力的重要指标。对早播稻、晚播稻和玉米的多时相的群体光谱测量数据和相应的叶片叶绿素密度的测量数进行了相关分析,结果表明早播、晚播稻和玉米的群体光谱的反射率数据以及其导数光谱数据绿素密度具有委好多的相关性,并且可以对这几种农作物建立统一的线性回归关系。     

森林生物化学与CASI高光谱分辨率遥感数据的相关分析

该文介绍了利用光谱范围约 417— 80 0nm的航空高光谱分辨率数据估计森叶族叶化学成分浓度的分析方法。沿横跨美国俄勒冈州中西部收集 6个研究立地上的小型机载成象光谱仪 (CASI)数据。 3个族叶化学成分 [总叶绿素 (TC)、全氮 (TN)和全磷 (TP) ]从相同的研究立地取样并在实验室测定。使用多元统计和光谱微分技术评价CASI数据用于估计冠层生化浓度的潜力和效率。 12个族叶化学成分样本被测定 ,并同时在相同立地上提取CASI图象数据。 7个单回归模型被用来探索单波段和植被指数与 3个化学成分的线性与非线性相关关系及预测效果。光谱微分技术被用来压缩背景噪音对目标光谱的影响。利用CASI原始光谱、一阶和二阶微分光谱数据和逐步回归分析来预测TC、TN和TP。结果表明采用光谱微分技术能显著地改善由拟合度 (R2 )和均方根差(SE)描述的森林冠层化学成分浓度的估计精度。由单波段分析的结果说明族叶化学与CASI数据间的相关性很低。事实上 ,对于TP ,CASI原始数据与实验室测定的数据几乎无关     

基于反射光谱的太湖北部叶绿素a浓度定量估算

利用地物光谱仪研究了太湖水体的反射光谱特征与叶绿素a浓度之间的定量关系,结果表明太湖水体的叶绿素a浓度可以用720 nm附近的反射率估算,同时也可以用806 nm和571 nm两个波段的反射率比值来估算,前者建立的估算模型具有较好的通用性,而后者只能较好的估算<10μg/L的叶绿素a浓度;通过对光谱微分的分析,发现叶绿素a浓度与690 nm附近的一阶微分和702 nm附近的二阶微分相关性最好,但基于反射光谱一阶微分的叶绿素a浓度估算模型,并没有显著的提高太湖叶绿素a浓度的估测精度,二阶微分后的估测精度好于一阶微分,但其估测精度仍没有利用720 nm反射光谱的反演模型高．太湖水体的叶绿素a浓度可以利用720 nm附近的反射光谱有效地估算．
