Pyroclastic Flow Hazard at Volcán Citlaltépetl

Volcán Citlaltépetl (Pico de Orizaba) with an elevation of 5,675 m is the highest volcano in North America. Its most recent catastrophic events involved the production of pyroclastic flows that erupted approximately 4,000, 8,500, and 13,000 years ago. The distribution of mapped deposits from these eruptions gives an approximate guide to the extent of products from potential future eruptions. Because the topography of this volcano is constantly changing computer simulations were made on the present topography using three computer algorithms: energy cone, FLOW2D, and FLOW3D. The Heim Coefficient (), used as a code parameter for frictional sliding in all our algorithms, is the ratio of the assumed drop in elevation (H) divided by the lateral extent of the mapped deposits (L). The viscosity parameter for the FLOW2D and FLOW3D codes was adjusted so that the paths of the flows mimicked those inferred from the mapped deposits. We modeled two categories of pyroclastic flows modeled for the level I and level II events. Level I pyroclastic flows correspond to small but more frequent block-and-ash flows that remain on the main cone. Level II flows correspond to more widespread flows from catastrophic eruptions with an approximate 4,000-year repose period. We developed hazard maps from simulations based on a National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) DTED-1 DEM with a 90 m grid and a vertical accuracy of ±30 m. Because realistic visualization is an important aid to understanding the risks related to volcanic hazards we present the DEM as modeled by FLOW3D. The model shows that the pyroclastic flows extend for much greater distances to the east of the volcano summit where the topographic relief is nearly 4,300 m. This study was used to plot hazard zones for pyroclastic flows in the official hazard map that was published recently.

基于双二次插值多项式的DEM传递误差模型

基于函数插值方法,得出了基于不完全双二次插值多项式的规则格网数字高程模型(DEM)的表面表达模型,并推导了相应的传递误差公式.公式表明,不完全双二次多项式的DEM传递误差与双线性多项式的传递误差相同.但由于不完全双二次多项式的DEM表面建模误差低于线性多项式的DEM表面建模误差,因此基于不完全双二次多项式的DEM表面模型具有更高的精度.

中国及周边区域ASTERGDEM与SRTMDEM高程对比分析及互补修复

本文分析了ASTER GDEM和SRTM DEM的获取方式,通过对两者在中国及周边区域高程的对比分析,得出两者高程间存在系统误差,前者高程比后者平均低4.9m。ASTER GDEM在许多区域特别是水域及高山区常存在明显粗差;SRTM DEM在特别是高山区域会出现空白区域,但其有效区域层次清晰、细节分明,无明显粗差,可靠性高。经过填补及高差约束限制修复,生成了无空白区域的SRTM DEM和可靠性更高的ASTER GDEM。

基于不同DEM数据源的数字河网提取对比分析——以韩江流域为例

基于HYDRO1K、SRTM3和ASTER GDEM三种DEM数据,利用BTOPMC地形子模型提取韩江流域河网,并作对比分析。结果表明:①SRTM3提取的河网精度最高,HYDRO1K相对最低。②DEM的垂直精度对提取的河网精度起控制作用。ASTER GDEM的水平分辨率较高,但垂直精度不如SRTM3,因而提取的河网精度不如SRTM3。③HYDRO1K提取大尺度流域河网具有一定的精度,但在地势平坦区域的效果较差,HY-DRO1K不宜用来提取小尺度流域河网。④由DEM提取的数字河网精度与当地的地面坡度以及处理DEM的填洼算法有关。     

Topodata: Brazilian full coverage refinement of SRTM data

This work presents the selection of a set of geostatistical coefficients suitable for a unified SRTM data refinement from 3″ to 1″ through kriging over the entire Brazilian territory. This selection aimed at data potential for geomorphometric derivations, given by the preservation of detailed geometric characteristics of the resulting digital elevation models (DEM), which are sensitive to refining procedures. The development contained a long-term experimentation stage, when data refinement through kriging was locally developed to support distinct regional projects, followed by a unified selection stage, where the acquired experience was applied to select a single and unified interpolation scheme. In this stage, the selected geostatistical models with promising performances were tested for unified refinement on 40 Brazilian areas with distinct geological settings. Tested areas encompass reliefs varying from mountainous to plain. The effects of data preparation were observed on the perception of patterns (texture and roughness), as well as of singularities (edges, peaks, thalwegs etc.). Results were evaluated mainly through the examination of shaded reliefs, transects and perspectives observed in different scales. Terrains with low slopes and small amplitudes had their DEM promptly affected by the refining methods, as opposed to mountainous terrains. The evaluation, unambiguously confirmed by all consulted interpreters, converged into a refining model with outstanding performance in all tested conditions.     

插值条件下格网DEM坡度计算模型的噪声误差分析

针对目前DEM（Digital Elevation Model, DEM）数字地形分析的精度评价多数不考虑DEM误差的空间自相关性或仅仅采用经验的自相关性模型问题,本文从DEM插值入手,从理论上推导了插值条件下格网DEM邻域窗口内坡度噪声误差的空间自相关性模型以及坡度精度模型,并选取典型的插值方法和坡度差分算法,从实验角度分析了在顾及和不顾及空间自相关性两种情况下的格网DEM坡度计算模型的噪声精度,实验结果表明：坡度精度受DEM噪声误差的空间自相关性影响较大,并与DEM插值方法和坡度计算模型中的差分算法有关。
