Climatic response of Picea crassifolia tree-ring parameters and precipitation reconstruction in the western Qilian Mountains, China

Cores of thick leaf spruce from the western Qilian Mountains were subjected to densitometric analysis to obtain data for seven tree-ring parameters (tree-ring width, earlywood width, latewood width, maximum density, minimum density, mean earlywood density and mean latewood density). The chronologies were analyzed individually and then compared with each other. Most of these variables show moderately high values of common variance and mean interseries correlation except latewood and maximum densities. The relationships between the different tree-ring parameters and climate data are also presented. The growth/climate response analyses reveal that the radial growth of thick leaf spruce is the mainly controlled by total annual precipitation (July-June). Herein the residual ring width chronology was used to reconstruct annual (July-June) precipitation of Jiuquan for the period 1768-2009 A.D., and it accounted for 45.0% of the precipitation variance. Multi-taper spectral analysis reveals the existence of significant 11.1-year, 4.9-year, and 2.0- to 3.4-year periods of variability. Spatial analysis shows that the precipitation of Jiuquan has strong common signals for the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau and Hexi Corridor. Drought events in our reconstruction are compared to the historical archives and other moisture-sensitive tree ring width series in the Hexi Corridor. The results reveal common climatic extremes over much of the Hexi Corridor. Many of these events have had profound impacts on the peoples of the Hexi Corridor over the past several centuries.     

Counterpropagation fuzzy–neural network for streamflow reconstruction

This study combines neural networks and fuzzy arithmetic to present a counterpropagation fuzzy–neural network (CFNN) for streamflow reconstruction. The CFNN has a rule‐based control, a modified self‐organizing counterpropagation network, and a fuzzy control predictor. It can generate rules automatically by increasing the training data to improve the accuracy of streamflow reconstruction. The CFNN establishes the input and output relationship of a watershed without set‐up parameters. The parameters are estimated systematically by the approach converging to an optimal solution. One sequence of data generated by the Monte Carlo method is used to demonstrate the accuracy of the CFNN. The streamflow data of the Da‐chia River, in central Taiwan, is also used to evaluate the performances of the CFNN. The results indicate the reliability and accuracy of the CFNN for streamflow reconstruction. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Space reconstruction process and internal driving mechanisms of Taobao villages in metropolitan fringe areas: A case study of Lirendong village in Guangzhou,China

This paper examines the process and internal mechanisms of rural ecommerce industry agglomeration and space reconstruction in metropolitan fringe areas, employing Lirendong village in Guangzhou, China, as a case study. Questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews were utilized and interpreted through the perspective of the actor-network theory. The results show that, in Lirendong village, local government, processing enterprises, rural collectives, e-commerce entrepreneurial talent, and other key actors participate in the pursuit and realization of suburban land value according to their action logic. Actors jointly evolved and constructed the phased industrial processes and space value accumulation process of the e-commerce industry. The reconstruction process experienced three stages, including the government-led agricultural decentralization stage, the market-oriented industrialization stage, and the Internet+ stage dominated by the social network of fellow villagers. The development process has evolved from the dominance of exogenous forces to that of endogenous forces, and, as a result, the types and structures of rural land use are diversified. The spatial texture and rural environment of the traditional country gradually disappeared, forming a diversified mixed form of urban-rural land and mixed-use landscape of industrial, commercial, and residential land in vertical space. At the same time, the social network changed from a single and homogeneous social network of acquaintances to a multiple network of strangers.     

On the predictive skill of morphodynamic models for onshore sandbar migration

A simplified process-based approach for evaluating onshore sandbar migration is presented in this study. This approach takes wave-averaged parameters as input and computes sediment transport processes using a reconstructed intra-wave orbital velocity signal. The proposed method guarantees good predictive skills for multiple onshore sandbar migration cases without an ad hoc calibration for each scenario. The study differs from previous onshore sandbar migration models, where calibration and testing are performed on just one or few events, and model assessment for uncalibrated realizations is rarely carried out. The present version of the model only addresses onshore sandbar migrations. For the onshore migration cases analyzed, the model has better predictive skills than state-of-the-art morphodynamic models (XBeach and Unibest-TC).

基于极地冰芯的历史火山活动序列重建研究进展

火山气溶胶通过反射太阳辐射导致地表降温。重建历史火山活动序列,是评估其气候效应,从而区分人为和自然因子的相对贡献、预测温室气体对全球气候影响的基础之一。此综述简要介绍了火山活动影响气候的作用机理。通过对冰芯研究历史及利用两极冰芯记录重建火山活动序列的研究进展的回顾,阐述了极地冰芯在火山活动序列重建中的作用与优势,以及近期研究在冰芯钻取和数据分析手段、极地火山信号向大气辐射强迫转化方法等方面所取得的成果;同时指出在火山沉积物的空间分布、冰芯定年及高低纬度火山喷发源的确定方面仍存在较大不确定性。因此应结合火山碎屑研究及非质量同位素分馏分析等方法,并钻取更多时间尺度更长且现有冰芯钻取较少的地区的深冰芯,以更精确地重建火山活动序列,从而提高对历史火山活动及其对气候影响的认识。     

基于子波分解与重构的储层预测技术

随着油气勘探程度的不断提高,勘探对象越来越复杂,为了增储上产,开展有效的储层预测成为油气勘探的重点。受分辨率的限制,利用常规地震剖面进行储层预测很难满足油田生产的需求。为此,对子波分解与重构理论进行了深入研究。结合实际资料,建立了能反映储层情况的地质模型,对模型进行正演模拟,明确了特殊地质体的地震响应特征。发现低频端包含了较多的储层信息,对储层空间展布的精细预测具有非常重要的作用。模型试验和实际资料处理表明,该方法能充分挖掘地震资料的有效信息,较好地进行储层预测。将该技术应用到研究工区的储层预测中,获得了与钻井结果相吻合的良好效果。

基于切平面投影的散乱数据点快速曲面重建算法

介绍了一种快速的散乱数据点曲面重建算法(切面投影三角网法),该算法不需要已知数据点的几何、拓扑信息以及是否存在边界等先验知识。算法利用邻近点集反映出的局部几何和拓扑信息,基于切平面投影方式计算每个数据点的邻域,从而完成每个数据点的局部拓扑重构。重构中物体表面数据点的降采样或不均匀采样可能会产生伪洞,因此,在重建后进行洞的检测,进而根据洞的大小来区分物体表面上实际存在的洞和重构过程中生成的伪洞,并对伪洞进行填充。利用多组散乱数据点进行重建的结果表明,切面投影三角网法高效、稳定,可以快速、自动地重构出复杂拓扑结构物体的三角网表面模型。
