航空重力数据谐波小波滤波中卷积运算的处理

数据的滤波提取是航空重力测量数据处理的一个重要环节。谐波小波滤波器在频域具有良好的盒形谱特征,可以较好地实现信号的滤波。但谐波小波滤波器是一个连续函数,航空重力测量采集的信号是离散的,无法直接进行卷积运算。讨论了谐波小波用于航空重力数据滤波处理时的卷积运算处理方法,给出了谐波小波频域卷积的算法实现过程和仿真算例。     

改进的DisTrad模型在地形起伏区地表温度空间分辨率提升的应用

DisTrad（Disaggregation procedure for radiometric surface temperature）模型是常用于遥感地表温度空间分辨率提升的主要模型之一。DisTrad模型常面向空间范围有限、地形相对平坦的研究区域,且常选用植被参数（如植被指数或植被覆盖度等）作为关键参数。然而在空间范围较大、地形起伏地区,地表温度的空间变异可能无法完全通过植被参数解释。本研究选取四川盆地及毗邻地区为研究区,通过模拟数据研究DisTrad模型在地形起伏区地表温度空间分辨率提升中的适用性。数字高程模型（Digital Elevation Model,DEM）、归一化差值植被指数（Normalized Difference Vegetation Index,NDVI）等参数,采用滑动窗口逐步回归,将空间分辨率为6km的地表温度提升至空间分辨率为1km。研究结果表明,改进的模型在平原及海拔较低的高原地区提升获得的地表温度空间分辨率具有较高精度,均方根误差（Root Mean Square Error,RMSE）为0.5K左右;在地形起伏较大的地区,RMSE为4K,验证了改进的模型提升的可行性。     

漳州-华安“地震窗”及其机制

漳州-华安是一个中强地震活动区,现今小震活动频繁。本文分析该区历史和现今地震活动特点,发现该区地震活动性涨落与闽台强震活动存在一定的相关性,因而得出该区是一个“地震窗”的认识。进而对“地震窗”的形成条件进行讨论,认为该区“地震窗”的形成是与其深部热作用所产生的向上垂直作用力紧密相关     

Archaeomagnetic secular variation in the UK during the past 4000 years and its application to archaeomagnetic dating

This paper examines the limitations and deficiencies of the current British archaeomagnetic calibration curve and applies several mathematical approaches in an attempt to produce an improved secular variation curve for the UK for use in archaeomagnetic dating. The dataset compiled is the most complete available in the UK, incorporating published results, PhD theses and unpublished laboratory reports. It comprises 620 archaeomagnetic (directional) data and 238 direct observations of the geomagnetic field, and includes all relevant information available about the site, the archaeomagnetic direction and the archaeological age. A thorough examination of the data was performed to assess their quality and reliability. Various techniques were employed in order to use the data to construct a secular variation (SV) record: moving window with averaging and median, as well as Bayesian statistical modelling. The SV reference curve obtained for the past 4000 years is very similar to that from France, most differences occurring during the early medieval period (or Dark Ages). Two examples of dating of archaeological structures, medieval and pre-Roman, are presented based on the new SV curve for the UK and the implications for archaeomagnetic dating are discussed.     

A Least-squares Window Curves Method for Interpretation of Magnetic Anomalies Caused by Dipping Dikes

We have developed a least-squares method to determine simultaneously the depth and the width of a buried thick dipping dike from residualized magnetic data using filters of successive window lengths. The method involves using a relationship between the depth and the half-width of the source and a combination of windowed observations. The relationship represents a family of curves (window curves). For a fixed window length, the depth is determined for each half-width value by solving one nonlinear equation of the form f (z) = 0 using the least-squares method. The computed depths are plotted against the width values representing a continuous curve. The solution for the depth and the width of the buried dike is read at the common intersection of the window curves. The method involves using a dike model convolved with the same moving average filter as applied to the observed data. As a result, this method can be applied to residuals as well as to measured magnetic data. Procedures are also formulated to estimate the amplitude coefficient and the index parameter. The method is applied to theoretical data with and without random errors. The validity of the method is tested on airborne magnetic data from Canada and on a vertical component magnetic anomaly from Turkey. In all cases examined, the model parameters obtained are in good agreement with the actual ones and with those given in the published literature.

Building Temporal Topology in a GIS Database to Study the Land‐Use Changes in a Rural‐Urban Environment

This article addresses the issue of linking temporal and spatial information into a GIS database structure to investigate the land‐use changes in a rural‐urban region over a thirty‐five‐year period. More specifically, it describes the application of a programming package developed to build temporal topology in an historical land‐use GIS database to efficiently perform spatiotemporal queries. The program was created within the MapInfo environment using MapBasic language. Different types of information, such as the rate of change, the relationship between the change of land use and zoning regulations, and land‐use succession were extracted from the database. A user‐friendly interface was also developed to easily address spatiotemporal queries to the database. This approach represents a flexible and performing tool for scientists and planners who need to efficiently capture essential spatiotemporal information required for geographical inquiry and decision‐making.

青海拉鸡山构造带是裂谷还是构造窗——与王二七研究员商榷

拉鸡山构造带东西长逾650km,展布于由元古宇组成的结晶地块内部，是一条早古生代火山岩极为发育的构造带。长期以来众多学者对拉鸡山进行大地构造学、岩石学研究。作者曾在拉鸡山从事多年野外调查工作，研究认为该地区无论在区域地质学、岩石学、构造变形学还是在大地构造演化方面其早古生代构造演化史皆具典型的裂谷带特征。晚古生代以来，经历了陆内多阶段造山过程，而为后期多阶段抬升的构造窗观点值得商榷。     

On the seismic regime network method

In this paper, based on the previous study of practical use of seismic regime windows and seismic regime belts, the problem of establishing a “seismic regime network” consisting of “windows” and “belts” is further posed and discussed according to the observed fact that many “windows” and “belts” make responses to one earthquake. For the convenience of usage, the “seismic regime network” is divided into two classes, the first class and the second one. The former can be used in tendency prediction for long-term seismic activity in a large area, the latter used in short-term prediction in a small area. In this paper, after briefly discussing the physical significance of “seismic regime network”, it is pointed out that this simple and easily used method can be used to observe and extract seismic precursory information from a large area before a great earthquake, thus it can provide a reliable basis for the analysis and judgement of seismic regime tendency in time and space. No doult, this method is of certain practical significance. The Chinese version of this paper appeared in the Chinese edition ofActa Seismologica Sinica,13, 161–169, 1991. The English version of this paper is improved by Prof. Shaoxie Xu.
