Deduction of the Sensible Heat Flux from SODAR Data

A new method for deduction of the sensible heat flux is validated with three sets of published SODAR （sound detection and ranging） data. Although the related expressions have previously been confirmed by the author with surface layer data, they have not yet been validated with observations from the boundary layer before this work. In the study, selected SODAR data are used to test the method for the convective boundary layer. The sensible heat flux （SHF） retrieved from SODAR data is found to decrease linearly with height in the mixed layer. The surface sensible heat fluxes derived from the deduced sensible heat flux profiles under convective conditions agree well with those measured by the eddy correlation method. The characteristics of SHF profiles deduced from SODAR data in different places reflect the background meteorology and terrain. The upper part of the SHF profile （SHFP） for a complicated terrain is found to have a different slope from the lower part. It is suggested that the former reflects the advective characteristic of turbulence in upwind topography. A similarity relationship for the estimation of SHFP in a well mixed layer with surface SHF and zero-heat-flux layer height is presented.     

At‐a‐station hydraulic geometry relations, 1: theoretical development

This paper, the first of two, hypothesizes that: (1) the temporal variation of stream power of a river channel at a given station with varying discharge is accomplished by the temporal variation in channel form (flow depth and channel width) and hydraulic variables, including energy slope, flow velocity and friction; (2) the change in stream power is distributed among the changes in flow depth, channel width, flow velocity, slope, and friction, depending on the boundary conditions that the channels has to satisfy. The second hypothesis is a result of the principle of maximum entropy and the theory of minimum energy dissipation or its simplified minimum stream power. These two hypotheses lead to families of at‐a‐station hydraulic geometry relations. The conditions under which these families of relations can occur in the field are discussed.

波浪物理模型试验中风速比尺确定方法初探

在波浪模型试验中研究风对构筑物的作用时,会涉及到风速比尺的确定问题。风对构筑物的作用力包括惯性力和粘滞力,这2种力的大小与建筑物的形态有关,对有的构筑物的作用力以惯性力为主,有的则以粘滞力为主。所以,在波浪物理模型试验中不能简单地采用重力相似准则也不能采用粘滞力相似准则来确定风速比尺。根据大量的试验研究结果,提出了采用不同模型比尺的船舶模型试验来确定风速比尺的方法,为波浪模型试验中风场模拟和数据处理提供了依据。     

An Integrated Mapping Approach to Petroleum Exploration on the Pratt Anticline,Pratt County,Kansas

A quantitative map comparison/integration technique to aid in petroleum exploration was applied to an area in south-central Kansas. The visual comparison and integration of maps has become increasingly difficult with the large number and different types of maps necessary to interpret the geology and assess the petroleum potential of an area; therefore, it is desirable to quantify these relationships. The algebraic algorithm used in this application is based on a point-by-point comparison of any number and type of spatial data represented in map form. Ten geological and geophysical maps were compared and integrated, utilizing data from 900 wells located in a nine-township area on the Pratt Anticline in Pratt County, Kansas. Five structure maps, including top of the Lansing Group (Pennsylvanian), Mississippian chert, Mississippian limestone, Viola Limestone (Ordovician), and Arbuckle Group (Cambro-Ordovician), two isopachous maps from top of Mississippian chert to Viola and Lansing to Arbuckle, a Mississippian chert porosity map, Bouguer gravity map, and an aeromagnetic map were processed and interpreted. Before processing, each map was standardized and assigned a relative degree of importance, depending on knowledge of the geology of the area. Once a combination of weights was obtained that most closely resembled the pattern of proved oil fields (target map), a favorability map was constructed based on a coincidence of similarity values and of geological properties of petroleum reservoirs. The resulting favorability maps for the study area indicate location of likely Mississippian chert and lower Paleozoic production.     

Retrieval single-doppler radar wind with variational assimilation method-part i: objective selection of functional weighting factors

In variational problem, the selection of functional weighting factors (FWF) is one of the key points for discussing many relevant studies. To overcome arbitrariness and subjectivity of the empirical selecting methods used widely at present, this paper tries to put forward in optimal objective selecting method of FWF. The focus of the study is on the weighting factors optimal selection in the variation retrieval single-Doppler radar wind field with the simple adjoint models. Weighting factors in the meaning of minimal variance are calculated out with the matrix theory and the finite difference method of partial differential equation. Experiments show that the result is more objective comparing with the factors obtained with the empirical method.     

线状空间数据传输的几何相似性度量算法与实验分析

 同一地物在不同比例尺或者不同来源的地图上通常存在着相似性,对于图形几何形似性度量方法的研究有利于地图编制、查询、匹配、更新。线状地物要素在地图中占有很大的比例,因此,本文以线状空间目标为例,在前人的基础上给出了线状空间数据的几何图形相似性度量模型:(1)以差异距离作为相似性特征的位置相似度;(2)以分形维数作为相似性特征的形状相似度;(3)以长度或者周长作为相似性特征的大小相似度。相对于(3)大小相似度而言,(1)位置相似度、(2)形状相似度综合考虑了几何图形整体统计的方法和局部几何特征结构。完成多尺度传输的线状空间数据几何相似性度量实验,并对数据传输量与几何相似性度量方法进行比较,实验结果表明:基于广义Hausdorff距离模型的中位数Hausdorff距离的位置相似性对于空间数据渐进性传输具有稳定性和可行性。最后,总结了本文的研究成果,并展望了该方向进一步研究的若干问题。     

大连海域近海面湍流结构及谱特征

利用黄海北部大连海域2009年10月—11月的近海面大气湍流观测资料,对湍流强度、方差相似关系、风速与温度分量谱及湍流通量协谱等进行了分析。结果表明:该海域在海风环境下湍流强度随着风速的增大逐渐减小,且强度均小于0.5;湍流方差相似关系基本上满足1/3定律,近中性环境下无量纲化三维风速方差主要受海滨地形的影响;各速度分量谱在惯性副区符合理论上的-2/3次幂规律,不稳定条件下由于湿度因素的影响,温度谱谱线在高频部分收缩较差,略有上翘;动量谱在惯性副区更接近-2/3幂率,感热谱在惯性区基本符合-4/3的分布,但是谱线分布与稳定度没有明显的规律性。     

Correcting the Smoothing Effect of Ordinary Kriging Estimates

The smoothing effect of ordinary kriging is a well-known dangerous effect associated with this estimation technique. Consequently kriging estimates do not reproduce both histogram and semivariogram model of sample data. A four-step procedure for correcting the smoothing effect of ordinary kriging estimates is shown to be efficient for the reproduction of histogram and semivariogram without loss of local accuracy. Furthermore, this procedure provides a unique map sharing both local and global accuracies. Ordinary kriging with a proper correction for smoothing effect can be revitalized as a reliable estimation method that allows a better use of the available information.     

面状空间要素相似性度量方法研究

不同尺度、来源的地图上同一要素通常具有一定的相似度。地图空间要素相似度在GIS领域具有广泛的应用。论文在总结前人相关成果的基础上分别从位置(距离)、形状、大小三个方面给出了面状空间要素相似性度量模型:以分形维数和面积/周长(紧凑度)作为相似特征的形状相似度;以中值距离作为相似特征的距离相似度;以面积或周长作为相似特征的大小相似度。最后,以多尺度面状空间要素为实验数据,通过比较分析验证了本文提出的相似性度量模型可行性。实验结果表明:以中值距离、分形维数作为相似度指标的度量模型综合考虑了面状要素局部结构和整体分布,在面状空间要素相似性度量方面具有很好的稳定性。
