The Falkland Islands’ palaeoecological response to millennial‐scale climate perturbations during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition: Implications for future vegetation stability in the southern ocean islands

Oceanic island flora is vulnerable to future climate warming, which is likely to promote changes in vegetation composition, and invasion of non‐native species. Sub‐Antarctic islands are predicted to experience rapid warming during the next century; therefore, establishing trajectories of change in vegetation communities is essential for developing conservation strategies to preserve biological diversity. We present a Late‐glacial‐early Holocene (16 500–6450 cal a bp ) palaeoecological record from Hooker's Point, Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), South Atlantic. This period spans the Pleistocene‐Holocene transition, providing insight into biological responses to abrupt climate change. Pollen and plant macrofossil records appear insensitive to climatic cooling during the Late‐glacial, but undergo rapid turnover in response to regional warming. The absence of trees throughout the Late‐glacial‐early Holocene enables the recognition of far‐travelled pollen from southern South America. The first occurrence of Nothofagus (southern beech) may reflect changes in the strength and/or position of the Southern Westerly Wind Belt during the Late‐glacial period. Peat inception and accumulation at Hooker's Point is likely to be promoted by the recalcitrant litter of wind‐adapted flora. This recalcitrant litter helps to explain widespread peatland development in a comparatively dry environment, and suggests that wind‐adapted peatlands can remain carbon sinks even under low precipitation regimes. © 2019 The Authors.

渤海夏季潮致-风生-热盐环流的数值诊断计算

基于正交曲线坐标的ECOMSED三维水动力模式,并考虑了潮汐、风和实测温盐场,诊断计算了渤海夏季三维潮致-风生-热盐环流,分析了渤海夏季潮致余流、风生和热盐环流的分布结构。结果显示,在夏季,渤海中部海区明显存在一个顺时针向的涡旋,同时渤海还存在着多个逆时针向的涡旋。通过分析和比较各个分量在总环流中的作用,认为夏季潮致余流是相对弱的;热盐环流在夏季总环流中占主要成分。     

基于XGBoost模型的三峡库区燕山乡滑坡易发性评价与区划

滑坡易发性评价是精细化滑坡灾害风险评价的基础。为了提升滑坡易发性评价模型的精度和稳健性,以三峡库区万州区燕山乡为例,选取工程地质岩组、堆积层厚度等九个影响因子构建滑坡易发性评价指标体系,应用信息量模型定量分析滑坡发育与指标之间的关系。在此基础上,随机选取70%/30%的滑坡样本作为训练/验证数据集,应用极致梯度提升模型(extreme gradient boosting, XGBoost)开展易发性评价。随后从模型预测精度和模型稳定性两方面将其与决策树模型(decision tree, DT)和梯度提升树模型(gradient boosting decision tree, GBDT)进行对比。结果表明：研究区堆积层滑坡主要受长江水系、堆积层厚度和工程地质岩组影响。XGBoost模型具有最高的准确率(94.3%)和预测精度(97.3%)。在模型稳定性验证中,平均预测精度最高(97.3%),优于DT(91.3%)和GBDT(95.7%),模型标准差和变异系数均为0.01,低于其余两种模型。XGBoost在区域滑坡易发性评价与制图中得到了可靠的结果,为滑坡灾害空间预测提供了新的技术支撑。     

Full polarimetric PALSAR-based land cover monitoring in Cambodia for implementation of REDD policies

Abstract

Forest cover monitoring plays an important role in the implementation of climate change mitigation policies such as Kyoto protocol and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). In this study, we have monitored land cover using the PALSAR (Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) full polarimetric data based on incoherent target decomposition. Supervised classification technique has been applied on Cloude–Pottier decomposition, Freeman–Durden three component, and Yamaguchi four component decomposition for accurate mapping of different types of land cover classes. Based on confusion matrix derived from the predicted and defined pixels, the evergreen and sparsely deciduous forests have shown high producer's accuracy by Freeman–Durden three component and Yamaguchi four component classifications. The overall accuracy of Maximum Likelihood Classification by Yamaguchi four component is 94.1% with 0.93 kappa coefficient as compared to the 90.3% with 0.88 kappa coefficient by Freeman–Durden three component and 89.7% with 0.88 kappa coefficient by Cloude–Pottier decomposition. High accuracy of classification in a forested area using full polarimetric PALSAR data may have been because of high penetration of L-band SAR. The content of this study could be useful for the forest cover mapping during cloudy days needed for proper implementation of REDD policies in Cambodia.

冬奥会张家口赛区一次降水相态特征分析

利用冬奥会气象观测站网资料、ERA5的0.25°×0.25°高分辨率再分析资料、常规探空资料以及激光雷达和风廓线雷达资料,从环流形势、温湿度和微物理特征以及雷达特征等方面对2020年11月17-19日冬奥会张家口赛区一次明显的雨转雪天气过程进行分析。结果表明：低层前期的暖湿西南气流,为降水提供好的水汽和能量条件,后期强的干冷平流为相态转换提供有利条件。赛区出现雨转雪时,700 hPa温度低于-2℃,同时850 hPa温度低于2℃。零度层高度的快速下降是相态转换的重要温度判据,0℃线降到距地面400 m左右赛区降水相态已经转变为纯雪,低层风向的转向对赛场的雨雪相态转换有一定的指示意义。随着高空云冰和雪水含量逐渐增加,其出现最大值后,雨雪相态开始转换。降雪时激光雷达最大探测高度比降雨时有明显的降低,风廓线雷达低层风场的变化和雨雪相态关系密切,风廓线雷达探测的垂直速度变化也能反映雨雪相态的转换。     

The Digital National Framework and Digital Photogrammetry at Ordnance Survey

Over recent months the Ordnance Survey, Britain's national mapping agency, has changed the way in which it uses photogrammetry to update its large scales topographic database. The nature of the database itself has also changed during the same period, as the concept of a "Digital National Framework" has developed. This paper describes the Digital National Framework, the topographic data captured by Ordnance Survey within this framework and the capture methods currently used. The paper concentrates on the use of photogrammetry in the update process, describing the methods of the past, the methods currently in production, and the outlook for photogrammetry within the Ordnance Survey in future.
