Estimating leaf area index by inversion of reflectance model for semiarid natural grasslands

The study developed an integrated reflectance model combining radiative transfer and geometric optical properties in order to inverse leaf area index (LAI) of semiarid natural grasslands. In order to better link remote sensing information with land plants, and facilitate regional and global climate change studies, the model introduced a simple but important geometrical similarity parameter related to plant crown shapes. The model revealed the influences of different plant crown shapes (such as spherical, cylindrical/cuboidal and conic crowns) on leaf/branch angle distribution frequencies, shadow ground coverage, shadowed or sunlit background fractions, canopy reflectance, and scene reflectance. The modeled reflectance data agreed with the measured ones in the three Leymus chinensis steppes with different degradation degrees, which validated the reflectance model. The lower the degradation degree was, the better the modeled data agreed with the measured data. After this reflectance model was coupled with the optimization inversion method, LAI over the entire study region was estimated once every eight days using the eight-day products of surface reflectance obtained by multi-spectral Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) during the growing seasons in 2002. The temporal and spatial patterns of inversed LAI for the steppes with different cover degrees, swamps, flood plains, and croplands agreed with the general laws and measurements very well. But for unused land cover types (sands, saline, and barren lands) and forestlands, totally accounting for about 10% of the study region, the reasonable LAI values were not derived by inversing, requiring further revising of the model or the development of a new model for them.

2D多尺度混合优化地球物理反演方法及其应用(英文)

局部优化和全局优化方法广泛应用到地球物理反演,但是两者各有其优缺点。将两类方法结合起来可以取长补短。将退火遗传算法（SAGA）和单纯形算法相结合,得到了一种高效、健全的2D非线性混合地震走时反演方法。首先,利用SAGA进行大范围的全局搜索,然后由单纯形方法进行快速局部搜索。为了降低层析成像的多解性,我们采用了多尺度逐次逼近的技巧。把速度场划分为不同的空间尺度,定义网格节点上的速度作为待反演参数,采用双三次样条函数模型参数化,正问题采用有限差分走时计算方法,反问题采用多尺度混合反演方法。一个低速度异常体的数值模拟试验和抗走时扰动试验表明该方法是有效和健全的。我们将该方法应用到青藏高原东北缘阿尼玛卿rlet,Meyer,Marr,缝合带东段上部地壳速度结构研究中。数字模型试验和实际资料的应用表明了方法的有效性和健全性。     

地球物理资料群体智能反演(英文)

复杂地球物理资料的反演问题往往是一个求解多参数非线性多极值的最优解问题。而鸟和蚂蚁等群体觅食的过程,正好与寻找地球物理反演最优解的过程相似。基于自然界群体协调寻优的思想,本文提出了交叉学科的群体智能地球物理资料反演方法,并给出了其对应的数学模型。用一个有无限多个局部最优解的已知模型对该类方法进行了试验。然后,将它们应用到了不同的复杂地球物理反演问题中:(1)对噪声敏感的线性问题;(2)非线性和线性同步反演问题;(3)非线性问题。反演结果表明,群体智能反演是可行的。与常规遗传算法和模拟退火法相比,该类方法有收敛速度相对快、收敛精度相对高等优点;与拟牛顿法和列文伯格一马夸特法相比,该类方法有能跳出局部最优解等优点。     

二阶精度广义非线性全局最优的偏移速度反演方法(英文)

如何快速、精确地利用叠前深度偏移进行偏移速度分析是勘探地震学的一项重要研究内容,针对该问题,本文提出一种二阶精度广义非线性全局最优的偏移速度反演方法。我们将首先去掉速度模型修正量与成象深度差呈线性关系的假设,推导出具有二阶精度的速度模型修正量计算公式,使每一次迭代得到的速度模型尽可能地接近实际模型;然后采用广义非线性反演方法反演获得对所有道集的全局最优的速度模型修正量,不仅极大地加快了收敛速度,而且反演过程中陷入局部极小的可能性也减小了。理论模型和Marmousi模型的处理结果表明:本方法精度高、处理速度快,提高了偏移速度分析方法的实用性和对复杂构造成像的准确性。

中、新生代强烈的负反转作用是东营凹陷构造演化的一个重要特色.为了解负反转构造对东营凹陷中、新生代盆地形成过程中的意义, 以高分辨率三维地震资料解释为基础, 详细刻画了东营凹陷负反转构造几何学样式, 并综合运用计算断层活动速率和负反转率以及编制地层位移-距离曲线等方法, 对东营凹陷负反转断层运动学特征进行了系统的定量研究.结果表明, 东营凹陷J₃-K₁和Ek-Es₄两期盆地的主体均是印支期逆冲断层发生负反转作用所致, 总的负反转率约为3.367~8.3, 其中J₃-K₁时期负反转率为1.388~3.904;负反转构造最终定型于Es₃-Es₂时期; 负反转作用在空间上呈现出SW至NE逐渐增强的演变规律.东营凹陷负反转构造的研究对于盆地内部深层油气藏的勘探具有重要的理论意义和实际应用价值.      

准噶尔盆地西北缘冲断构造新解

摘要：准噶尔盆地西北缘最重要的构造特征是发育一组冲断构造。对这组冲断构造的冲断时限和冲断性质的认识不同,导致对准噶尔盆地的属性存在断陷盆地与前陆盆地之争。西北缘花岗岩及其中发育的岩墙群的精确年龄限定了研究区在314～255 Ma中处于伸展状态。西北缘侏罗系沉积范围较三叠系广,早侏罗世发育碱性玄武岩,这些都表明准噶尔盆地在侏罗纪处于伸展阶段,盆地范围不断扩大。西北缘晚三叠世地层不整合覆盖于花岗岩之上,这种现象将本区冲断构造发生的时间限定为晚二叠世至早三叠世,最晚不超过晚三叠世。在地震资料解释的西北缘剖面上,冲断构造的前缘二叠纪地层平缓且厚度稳定。西北缘二叠系发育火山岩,沉积层序具从下到上粒度由粗变细的正旋回沉积特征,沉积速率稳定,沉降曲线由陡变缓,且古地温梯度和大地热流值均较高。西北缘的圈闭类型以岩性地层等非构造圈闭为主,以构造 岩性圈闭为辅。笔者认为西北缘冲断构造的性质是在314～255 Ma伸展阶段与侏罗纪伸展阶段之间发育的一次短期反转构造,发育基底卷入的高角度冲断带,并非大规模与造山作用相关的前陆冲断带。     

Turbulence Statistics Above And Within Two Amazon Rain Forest Canopies

The turbulence structure in two Amazon rain forestswas characterised for a range of above-canopystability conditions, and the results compared withprevious studies in other forest canopies and recenttheory for the generation of turbulent eddies justabove forest canopies. Three-dimensional wind speedand temperature fluctuation data were collectedsimultaneously at up to five levels inside and abovetwo canopies of 30–40 m tall forests, during threeseparate periods. We analysed hourly statistics, jointprobability distributions, length scales, spatialcorrelations and coherence, as well as power spectraof vertical and horizontal wind speed.The daytime results show a sharp attenuation ofturbulence in the top third of the canopies, resultingin very little movement, and almost Gaussianprobability distributions of wind speeds, in the lowercanopy. This contrasts with strongly skewed andkurtotic distributions in the upper canopy. At night,attenuation was even stronger and skewness vanishedeven in the upper canopy. Power spectral peaks in thelower canopy are shifted to lower frequencies relativeto the upper canopy, and spatial correlations andcoherences were low throughout the canopy. Integrallength scales of vertical wind speed at the top of thecanopy were small, about 0.15 h compared to avalue of 0.28 h expected from the shear lengthscale at the canopy top, based on the hypothesis that theupper canopy air behaves as a plane mixing layer. Allthis suggests that, although exchange is not totallyinhibited, tropical rain forest canopies differ from other forests in that rapid, coherentdownward sweeps do not penetrate into the lowercanopy, and that length scales are suppressed. This isassociated with a persistent inversion of stability inthat region compared to above-canopy conditions. Theinversion is likely to be maintained by strong heatabsorption in the leaves concentrated near thecanopy top, with the generally weak turbulence beingunable to destroy the temperature gradients over thelarge canopy depth.     

Site effects at Euroseistest—I. Determination of the valley structure and confrontation of observations with 1D analysis

This paper describes the process of construction of the 2D model of Volvi's geological structure and results of empirical and theoretical approaches to the evaluation of site response at Euroseistest. The construction of the 2D model is based on a re-interpretation of the available geophysical and geotechnical data in an effort to improve the definition of the subsoil structure at Euroseistest in terms of the most important parameters needed to model site response. The results of this re-interpretation are compared with a previous published 2D model of the same alluvial valley. Different analysis of the measurements and different criteria in the synthesis of data have led to a different model, even if both studies had access to the same field measurements. This underscores the fact that a model results of an interpretation and is not uniquely determined by the data, no matter how detailed they are. The well known subsoil structure opened the possibility to correlate the geometry and the dynamic properties of the 2D model with the results of site response determined from a detailed analysis of two events in frequency and time domains and 1D numerical modeling. The study of site response shows the important effect of the lateral variations on the ground motion and suggests that the contribution of locally generated surface waves to the resonant peak may be important. In the case of Volvi's graben, the limitations of the 1D approximation to simulate ground motion under complex soil conditions in both frequency and time domains are also shown. This paper lays the ground for a companion article dealing with 2D site effects in this basin.
