Hydrodynamics of photoionized columns in the Eagle Nebula, M 16

We present hydrodynamical simulations of the formation, structure and evolution of photoionized columns, with parameters based on those observed in the Eagle Nebula. On the basis of these simulations we argue that there is no unequivocal evidence that the dense neutral clumps at heads of the columns were cores in the pre-existing molecular cloud. In our simulations, a variety of initial conditions leads to the formation and maintenance of near-equilibrium columns. Therefore, it is likely that narrow columns will often occur in regions with large-scale inhomogeneities, but that observations of such columns can tell us little about the processes by which they formed. The manner in which the columns in our simulations develop suggests that their evolution may result in extended sequences of radiation-induced star formation.     

Double emission line feature from tiny cold clouds

We propose that the nature of unidentified SCUBA objects (USOs) can be discriminated thanks to the distinct double emission of ⁷LiH and ⁶LiH from USOs. If this is present they must be young,because the allowed abundance of ⁶Li becomes larger than thatexpected previously. Inversely, even if only ⁷LiH is detected,these tiny cold clouds are primordial.     

Turbulence in Class 0 and I protostellar envelopes

We estimate the levels of turbulence in the envelopes of class 0 and I protostars using a model based on measurements of the peak separation of double-peaked asymmetric line profiles. We use observations of 20 protostars of both class 0 and I taken in the  HCO⁺(J = 3 → 2)  line that show the classic double-peaked profile. We find that some class 0 sources show high levels of turbulence, whilst others demonstrate much lower levels. In class I protostars, we find predominantly low levels of turbulence. The observations are consistent with a scenario in which class 0 protostars form in a variety of environments and subsequently evolve into class I protostars. The data do not appear to be consistent with a recently proposed scenario in which class 0 protostars can only form in extreme environments.     

Nearby Protoclusters as Laboratories for Understanding Star Formation on Galactic Scales

Detailed studies of nearby cluster-forming molecular clouds can help us understand the physical processes by which most stars form in galaxies. I review recent advances made on this subject. Submillimeter observations of nearby protoclusters suggest that stars are generally built from finite, detached reservoirs of mass inside molecular cloud cores, and point to a cloud fragmentation origin for the IMF. Much progress in this field will come from future large submillimeter instruments such as Herschel and ALMA.

地面固定式激光扫描点云中建筑物墙面信息的识别提取

地面固定式激光扫描系统能够获取大面积高分辨率的被测对象表面三维数据,本研究通过对固定式LiDAR激光数据做初分类,从地面点中粗提取具有少量噪声的建筑墙面数据,然后利用平面区域分割算法和立面约束条件提取建筑物墙面数据。在对两份固定式三维激光扫描点云的实验中,通过对不同分辨率的数据利用本文所提算法都取得了较好的墙面提取效果,实验证明了该方法的有效性。     

基于区域多次回波点密度分析的城区LiDAR建筑物提取

以正确提取城区Li DAR点云中建筑物为目标,综合利用不同类别目标点云的回波特征以及地形信息,提出了一种基于区域多次回波密度分析的Li DAR点云建筑物提取方法。首先,将点云构建不规则三角网(triangulated irregular network,TIN),获取封闭的等高线;然后,利用等高线间的拓扑关系得到等高线族区域;最后,统计每一区域的多次回波点云密度信息,通过建筑物和树木区域多次回波点云在区域密度上的巨大差异来识别建筑物点云和树木点云。研究结果表明:该方法既充分利用了建筑物表面与植被间多次回波特性的差异,又不否定建筑物边缘同样存在多次回波的现象;通过封闭的等高线自适应地检测出地物目标的轮廓,弥补了传统Li DAR建筑物提取方法的不足;该方法能够较其他方法更准确地提取建筑物。     

2017年秋季河北一次飑线引发的雷暴大风过程分析

利用常规地面高空观测资料、地面自动站资料、NCEP 1°×1°再分析资料、卫星云图、多普勒天气雷达资料等,对2017年秋季发生在河北省中部的一次由飑线引发的雷暴大风天气进行分析。结果表明：本次雷暴大风过程发生在高空冷涡底部,槽后冷空气与低层暖平流叠加配合地面冷锋的有利天气背景下,由飑线回波直接造成。环境条件中水汽和热力达到了中国华北地区产生强雷暴大风的平均值,大气温度直减率和垂直风切变比夏季更适宜,但能量不如夏季充足。飑线的强度、形态与夏季产生雷暴大风的雷达回波特征无异,但依据低层径向速度大值区预警秋季飑线大风需提高阈值。秋季飑线过程中地面同样伴随风场辐合、雷暴高压等中尺度系统,冷池密度流作用有利于地面大风产生。     

A Validation of CloudSat and CALIPSO's Temperature,Humidity, Cloud Detection,and Cloud Base Height over the Arctic Marine Cryosphere

Abstract

This study presents a semi‐analytic non‐iterative solution for the Monin‐Obukhov similarity equations under unstable surface conditions. The solution is represented in terms of the non‐dimensional Monin‐Obukhov stability parameter z/L. This parameter is given as a function of the bulk Richardson number and other surface parameters including the heat and momentum roughness lengths which are generally assumed to be different in this formulation. The proposed formulations give results that are both quantitatively and qualitatively consistent with the fully iterated numerical solution for a wide range of surface parameters.
