Equipment and procedure improvements for a lightweight,inexpensive, percussion core sampling system

This paper describes improvements for an inexpensive, lightweight percussion core sampling system and presents examples of recovered core. The system has proven most effective in remote settings where the weight of a coring system may be a constraint. Cores of up to 5.5 m in length have been recovered and the system has functioned successfully in water depths to 200 m. The system weighs approximately 25 kg and costs less than $450.00 (US).The percussion corer is designed for operation from a stable ice-pack surface. The core barrel assembly is lowered through the water column and driven into sediment with a weighted driver. A secondary line is used to raise and drop the driver. The driver is guided to the core barrel assembly by the main line. Cores are retrieved by a simple pulley system anchored to the ice pack.     

彩色红外航空遥感技术在西藏农田非耕地系数测算中的应用研究与实践

西藏自治区的耕地多分布在藏东、藏南河谷地带,多数耕地地块破碎,形态各异,并且有大量的非耕地成分混杂其间,即使采用大比例尺图件,也难以测量准确的耕地面积。为准确查清耕地面积,在西藏土地资源调查工作中,独创地采用了彩色红外条带航空摄影,计算机图像处理系统求算彩色红外航空像片耕地样地中非耕地系数值和建立不同地貌、不同耕地类型非耕地系数检索表等系统的方法。该方法已在全藏调查工作中普遍推广,提高了调查精度,缩短了调查时间,大大减少了人力和经费投入。该项研究为我国山区耕地面积调查提供了有效的手段。

NOAA WP-3D instrumentation and flight operations on AGASP-II

The second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Program (AGASP-II) was conducted across the non-Soviet Arctic in March and April 1986, to study the aerosol, gaseous, chemical, and optical properties of Arctic haze. One component of the program was supported with an instrumented NOAA WP-3D atmospheric research aircraft. Measurements of wind, temperature, ozone, water vapor, condensation nucleus concentration, and aerosol scattering extinction coefficient were used to determine the locations and properties of haze layers. The first three NOAA WP-3D research flights were conducted north of Barrow, Alaska, and over the Beaufort Sea northeast of Barter Island, Alaska. The next three sampled conditions in the high Arctic near Alert, Northwest Territories, Canada. All basic meteorological, gas, and aerosol systems are described. The WP-3D flight tracks and operations are presented.

Efficiency of kriging estimation for square, triangular, and hexagonal grids

Although several researchers have pointed out some advantages and disadvantages of various soil sampling designs in the presence of spatial autocorrelation, a more detailed study is presented herein which examines the geometrical relationship of three sampling designs, namely the square, the equilateral triangle, and the regular hexagon. Both advantages and disadvantages exist in the use of these designs with respect to estimation of the semivariogram and their effect on the mean square error or variance of error. This research could be used to design optimal sampling strategies; it is based on the theory of regionalized variables, in which the intrinsic hypothesis is satisfied. Among alternative designs, an equilateral triangle design gives the most reliable estimate of the semivariogram. It also gives the minimum maximum mean square error of point estimation of the concentration over the other two designs for the same number of measurements when the nugget effect is small relative to the variance. If the nugget effect is large (.90 ² or more), and the linear sampling density is >0.85r where r is the range, the hexagonal design is best. This study computes and compares the maximum mean square error for each of these designs.     

Automatic sampling of stream water during storm events in small remote catchments

In order to study the relationship between water composition and stream flow rate, it is desirable to sample at a frequency related to flow rate, especially during storm events. In a rural catchment of 18 ha near Oxford, the rate of rainfall was found to be linearly related to discharge on the rising limb of the stream hydrograph. A sampling system was therefore designed in which electrical pulses from a tipping-bucket raingauge were used to initiate and control the action of an automatic water sampler. A threshold rainfall intensity is set above which sampling commences. Sampling then continues at regular increments of rainfall until the intensity drops below the threshold, after which sampling occurs at regular intervals during the period that the stream flow reverts to normal. The CMOS electrical circuits which control the sampling also operate a cassette tape recorder which records the time of each tip of the raingauge and operation of the sampler. Since the sytem is designed to impose very little additional load on the battery which powers the water sampler, and can operate unattended for at least a fortnight, it is ideal for use in small, remote catchments. The system has been extended to include measurements of water temperature and could provide other measurements as well.
