Fast sequential indicator simulation: Beyond reproduction of indicator variograms

Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS), although widely used, is relatively slow, and requires tedious inference of a large number of indicator variogram models. SIS is designed only to estimate class proportions and to reproduce indicator variogram models; the statistics of the continuous attribute being simulated,z-histogram and variogram, may be poorly reproduced. Several implementations of the SIS algorithm are proposed resulting in better reproduction of statistics yet with better CPU performance.     

WRF模式同化系统对不同观测数据集的应用对比研究

同化不同观测资料数据集得到的模拟结果大有差异,而实际应用中资料的获取及同化前的预处理也是一项耗时的工作,因此针对不同的研究目的,采用适当的观测资料进行同化是必要的。采用WRF模式同化系统,同化收集到的2种观测资料数据集(分别为全国观测资料数据集和NCEP ADP全球地面观测数据集),并将2种同化试验与未同化模拟结果对比得出:同化不同观测资料数据集对模拟效果影响较大,尤其对垂直方向上的模拟效果影响要大于对地面的;同化国家站数据集在垂直方向上优势明显,但在低空的模拟效果不如加入更多观测数据类型的NCEP ADP数据集的模拟效果;对受局地影响较大的要素,同化对模拟的改善作用显著;相比NCEP ADP数据集,WRF模式在同化国家站数据集后需要更长的积分时间来与之协调,因此选择合适的模式积分开始时间与同化资料的有效时间是必要的。     

江淮地区ERA-Interim再分析与观测温度资料对比分析

通过对比江淮地区1992-2016年08和20时的ERA-Interim再分析资料与观测资料的温度要素,发现它们在垂直方向上的偏差存在从低层到高层先减小后增大的特点,对流层低层各站偏差的空间差异明显,到中高层各站偏差趋于一致。偏差存在明显年际变化,500 hPa及以上等压面在2000年前后再分析资料比观测资料存在由偏低向偏高的转折;除地面外,其他高度上两种资料的平均绝对偏差均呈显著减小趋势。在偏差的月际分布上,地面和500 hPa以上高度再分析资料普遍比观测资料偏高,各高度上平均绝对偏差在8-9月最小。进一步对各天气现象下两种资料比较发现,雪、雨夹雪、冰粒子和冻雨天气发生时,地面至1000 hPa和850 hPa上再分析资料比观测资料偏高;大雾天气发生时,再分析资料比观测资料在1000 hPa偏高幅度明显高于地面。可见,在江淮地区使用ERA-Interim再分析温度资料判别降水相态时,大气边界层和850 hPa温度需慎重使用,近地层虚假逆温对大雾判别会产生很大影响。     

Dataset of Comparative Observations for Land Surface Processes over the Semi-Arid Alpine Grassland against Alpine Lakes in the Source Region of the Yellow River

Thousands of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau(TP) play a critical role in the regional water cycle, weather, and climate. In recent years, the areas of TP lakes underwent drastic changes and have become a research hotspot. However, the characteristics of the lake-atmosphere interaction over the high-altitude lakes are still unclear, which inhibits model development and the accurate simulation of lake climate effects. The source region of the Yellow River(SRYR) has the largest outflow lake and freshw...     

Assessment of ERA5 and ERA-Interim in Reproducing Mean and Extreme Climates over West Africa

In situ data in West Africa are scarce, and reanalysis datasets could be an alternative source to alleviate the problem of data availability. Nevertheless, because of uncertainties in numerical prediction models and assimilation methods, among other things, existing reanalysis datasets can perform with various degrees of quality and accuracy. Therefore, a proper assessment of their shortcomings and strengths should be performed prior to their usage. In this study, we examine the performance of E...

Activity–composition relations for the calculation of partial melting equilibria in metabasic rocks

A set of thermodynamic models is presented that, for the first time, allows partial melting equilibria to be calculated for metabasic rocks. The models consist of new activity–composition relations combined with end‐member thermodynamic properties from the Holland & Powell dataset, version 6. They allow for forward modelling in the system NaO–CaO–KO–FeO–MgO–AlO–SiO–HO–TiO–FeO. In particular, new activity–composition relations are presented for silicate melt of broadly trondhjemitic–tonalitic composition, and for augitic clinopyroxene with Si–Al mixing on the tetrahedral sites, while existing activity–composition relations for hornblende are extended to include KO and TiO. Calibration of the activity–composition relations was carried out with the aim of reproducing major experimental phase‐in/phase‐out boundaries that define the amphibolite–granulite transition, across a range of bulk compositions, at ≤13 kbar.     

豫北地区气温、降水变化的时空分布特征

利用中国国家级地面气象站均一化数据集中1971—2010年豫北地区28个测站的温度、降水资料,基于GIS技术对该地区温度和降水变化的时空分布特征进行研究。结果表明:豫北地区气温整体呈升高的趋势,其中冬春季节升温明显。气温变率空间分布表现为北中部增温明显,东部和西部增温幅度较小。降水变化各季节差异较大,春季降水整体呈现增加趋势,其他季节各地降水增减不一;空间变化分布特征为太行山沿线西部山区降水减少趋势明显,东部地区降水略有增加趋势。从整体变化情况来看,豫北地区的气候变化区域间差异加大,局地性变化趋向不稳定。文中用温度与降水的趋势比来分析豫北地区的干旱化发生趋势,结果发现太行山沿线干旱化趋势明显,沿黄河区域干旱化趋势较低,太行山脉和黄河是导致豫北地区气候变化区域性分布的主要地形因子。     

Extraction and Analysis of Land Cover Heterogeneity over China

Spatial heterogeneity exists in land surface at every scale, and it is one of key factors to bring uncertainty to land parameter retrieval from remote-sensed data. This paper proposed a methodology to use the boundary length among different land cover types to characterize and quantify land surface heterogeneity based on high-resolution land cover images. Then the heterogeneity feature at 1 kilometer scale in China was extracted from “GlobalLand30” land cover datasets with the spatial resolution of 30 m. The mixed structure, degree of fragmentation and intra-heterogeneity of eight main vegetation biomes from MODIS land cover product over heterogeneous surface in china were analyzed. Mountain area and ecotone are more heterogeneous than other regions. Savanna biome (average boundary length is 7 426 meters) is the most heterogeneous zone followed by forest, grass/crop and shrub biome with average boundary length of 4 323, 3 160, 1 779 meters, respectively.     

Structural Vibration Mode Re-Analysis of Offshore Structures

-This paper reviews the current methodology for dynamic reanalysis. Rayleigh-Ritz approach and receptance approach are discussed in detail. Based on a general finite element structural analysis program SAPS, an eigenproblem re-analysis prorgram ERP was compiled. With a very small change the program can be implemented readily with any general FEM program. Finally, some numerical examples show that the new algorithm is of high precision and efficiency. In the case of local modification in the offshore platform, the efficiency is raised by 20- 50 times when compared with the re-calculation of the whole model.
