农牧交错带农田土壤风蚀PM10释放特征

粉尘释放是风蚀造成危害的一个重要过程。以农牧交错带沙区和非沙区农田土壤为研究对象,利用室内风洞模拟实验,实时监测了风蚀过程中释放的PM₁₀,分析了PM₁₀的动态变化特征,以深入认识土壤风蚀粉尘释放机理。结果表明：非沙区农田土壤风蚀强度远低于沙区农田,与风速呈指数函数关系;非沙区农田的土壤粉尘释放在不同风速下均以气流直接抬升模式为主,平均PM₁₀通量与风速呈线性函数关系,最大PM₁₀通量与风速呈幂函数关系;沙区农田的土壤粉尘释放在风速增大到一定程度后呈气流直接抬升和砂粒跃移冲击复合模式,最大PM₁₀通量增加不明显,但平均PM₁₀通量明显高于非沙区农田;对于沙区和非沙区农田而言,平均PM₁₀通量与风蚀速率呈对数函数关系。     

Automatic mapping of lunar landforms using DEM-derived geomorphometric parameters

Developing approaches to automate the analysis of the massive amounts of data sent back from the Moon will generate significant benefits for the field of lunar geomorphology. In this paper, we outline an automated method for mapping lunar landforms that is based on digital terrain analysis. An iterative self-organizing (ISO) cluster unsupervised classification enables the automatic mapping of landforms via a series of input raster bands that utilize six geomorphometric parameters. These parameters divide landforms into a number of spatially extended, topographically homogeneous segments that exhibit similar terrain attributes and neighborhood properties. To illustrate the applicability of our approach, we apply it to three representative test sites on the Moon, automatically presenting our results as a thematic landform map. We also quantitatively evaluated this approach using a series of confusion matrices, achieving overall accuracies as high as 83.34% and Kappa coefficients (K) as high as 0.77. An immediate version of our algorithm can also be applied for automatically mapping large-scale lunar landforms and for the quantitative comparison of lunar surface morphologies.     

亚暴期间等离子体对流速度及热层纬向风速度变化的统计学分析

本文利用2001年至2005年间CHAMP卫星及DMSP(F13,F15)卫星观测数据,对亚暴发生前后,亚暴初始位置所在磁地方时(Magnetic Local Time,MLT)东侧2h(+2h,MLT)至西侧4h(-4h,MLT)范围内等离子体对流速度(Vy)及热层纬向风速度(Uy)的变化进行了统计学分析.研究发现在亚暴发生后的1.5h内,所有MLT区间的Vy均明显增大,且峰值位置的地磁纬度向赤道侧移动,1.5h后,Vy减小,峰值的纬度向极区移动,表明亚暴的发生能显著增强等离子体对流速度;在亚暴发生位置的西侧0~2h内,Vy增幅最大,这表明亚暴对热层的影响主要在西侧,影响最大的区域是西侧0~2hMLT区间;Uy在亚暴发生后3h持续增大,其对亚暴的响应相较于Vy有1.5h的延迟.     

Using meteorological observer data to compare wind erosion during two great droughts in eastern Australia; the World War II Drought (1937–1946) and the Millennium Drought (2001–2010)

Australian meteorological observers started using the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) weather coding system in the 1950s. This system is still in use around the world today. However, observing and recording the weather in an organized and systematic manner had been ongoing for over 100 years prior to the adoption of this coding system, and much like Australia, most countries will have historical meteorological records. In this paper we compare the wind erosion of two of the greatest droughts in Australian recorded history; the World War II (WWII) Drought (1937–1945) and the Millennium Drought (2001–2009). To do this we analysed previously unavailable meteorological observer records from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABM). Wind erosion records, mostly in long‐hand written form, were translated to the modern WMO coding system for the WWII Drought and compared with the wind erosion of Australia's recently‐ended Millennium Drought, one of the longest and harshest on record. We quantify wind erosion using Dust Event Days (DED) and a modified version of a published Dust Storm Index (DSI) to show that wind erosion during the WWII Drought was up to 4.6 times higher than during the Millennium Drought. This study has international significance because it demonstrates a methodology for tracking changes in wind erosion over the past 75 years based on observer records available in every country with a history of organized weather observation.

Drivers of Australian dust: a case study of frontal winds and dust dynamics in the lower lake Eyre basin

The roles of pre‐frontal, frontal and post‐frontal winds as the primary wind systems for dust entrainment and transport in Australia are well established. While the relevance of each system has been observed across different wind erosion events in central Australia, the entrainment of dust by all three winds during the passage of an individual front has not been demonstrated until now. Synoptic information, satellite aerosol and imagery, meteorological and dust concentration data are presented for a single case study erosion event in the lower Lake Eyre Basin. This event demonstrates variable dust transport in three different directions from one of the southern Hemisphere's most significant source regions, and the changing nature of the active dust pathways during the passage of a frontal system. While only a single dust event is considered, the findings show the complexity of mineral aerosol emission and transport patterns even within an individual dust outbreak. For the lower Lake Eyre Basin, this appreciation of pathway behaviour is significant for better understanding the role of aeolian inputs from the dominant Australian source to surrounding marine systems. In a wider context, the findings exhibit the detailed insights into major dust source dynamics that can be obtained from high resolution spatial and particularly temporal data, as used in combination. This work highlights the importance of adequately resolved data for the accurate determination of dust entrainment and transport patterns of major dust sources.

小台站的大数据和云计算设想

地球科学是一门观测科学,相关科学研究及公益服务,如气象、地震等,都依赖于野外台站的观测。目前,由于多种因素的作用,导致台站观测和后续分析应用严重脱节。本文基于大数据和云计算的思想,将台站工作和目前后续研究中心的工作进行有机结合,提出了一套新的工作思路,即将数据计算分析和区域监测预报的工作由台站来完成,然后由一个综合的数据中心负责存储和管理台站提供的"大数据"信息,并根据台站需要和反馈情况研发相关软件,为台站的分析计算提供云计算的平台。
