Simultaneous Denoising and Interpolation of Seismic Data via the Deep Learning Method

Utilizing data from controlled seismic sources to image the subsurface structures and invert the physical properties of the subsurface media is a major effort in exploration geophysics. Dense seismic records with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and high fidelity helps in producing high quality imaging results. Therefore, seismic data denoising and missing traces reconstruction are significant for seismic data processing. Traditional denoising and interpolation methods rarely occasioned rely on noise level estimations, thus requiring heavy manual work to deal with records and the selection of optimal parameters. We propose a simultaneous denoising and interpolation method based on deep learning. For noisy records with missing traces, we adopt an iterative alternating optimization strategy and separate the objective function of the data restoring problem into two sub-problems. The seismic records can be reconstructed by solving a least-square problem and applying a set of pre-trained denoising models alternatively and iteratively.We demonstrate this method with synthetic and field data.     

ADI barotropic ocean model for simulation of Kuroshio intrusion into China southeastern waters

In this numerical model for simulating the Kuroshio intrusion into the East and South China Seas, vertically averaged marine hydrodynamic equations governing ocean currents and long-period waves are approximated by a set of two-time-level semi-implicit fimite difference equations. The major terms including the local acoeleration, sea-surface slope, Coriolis force and the bottom friction are approximated with the Crank-Nicholson scheme, which is of second order accuracy. The advection terms are approximated with the Leith scheme. The difference equations are split into two sets of alternating direction implicit equations, each of which has a tridiagonal matrix and can be easily solved. The model reproduces a major Kuroshio intrusion north of Luzon Island, one north of Taiwan Island, and one west of the Tokara Strait. The model shows a current system running from the Luzon Strait to the coast of Vietnam and Hainan Island, through the Taiwan Strait and then into the Tsushima Strait. The summer and winter monsoons generate several eddies in the South China Sea. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

交流电弧-光电直读发射光谱同时测定碳酸盐矿物中银硼锡的方法研究

银硼锡元素的丰度和变化特征可以反映区域成矿条件,指示矿床或矿化存在。碳酸盐矿物中的银硼锡是勘查地球化学及多目标地球化学中的必测元素,其测定方法是地球化学元素配套分析方案中必不可少的方法之一。由于碳酸盐矿物与普通的岩石、土壤和水系沉积物不同,该类矿物主要是灰岩、白云岩等含钙和镁元素比较高的岩石类样品,同时测定样品中银硼锡的技术难点在于高含量钙镁基体会严重干扰低含量待测元素,且摄谱过程中由于易产生二氧化碳造成样品飞溅。针对碳酸盐矿物的特殊性,本文建立了交流电弧-光电直读发射光谱同时测定碳酸盐矿物中银硼锡的分析方法。通过优化样品前处理及实验条件,用10%的盐酸处理样品,消除了基体元素钙和镁的干扰;以锗(Ge)作为内标元素进行定量,可以消除因电弧激发条件变化以及试样基体组分等外部因素造成干扰的影响;采用银与长波锗元素组成分析线对,硼和锡与短波锗元素组成分析线对,灵敏度较好;选择天然碳酸盐岩石与人工合成灰岩等12种国家一级地球化学标准物质作为标准系列,使基体组分与样品相类似;采用分析线和内标线同时扣背景的离线差减法进行背景校正。结果表明:该方法对银硼锡的检出限分别为0.008、0.49、0.18μg/g;方法精密度(RSD)对银大于10%,其余均优于10%;经国家一级地球化学标准物质验证,银硼锡测定平均值与认定值的对数差值(ΔlgC)均小于或等于±0.05,满足多目标区域地球化学调查规范的要求。     

High‐order ADE scheme for solving the fluid diffusion equation in non‐uniform grids and its application in coupled hydro‐mechanical simulation

To improve the stability and efficiency of explicit technique, one proposed method is to use an unconditionally stable alternating direction explicit (ADE) scheme. However, the standard ADE scheme is only moderately accurate and restricted to uniform grids. This paper derives a novel high‐order ADE scheme capable of solving the fluid diffusion equation in non‐uniform grids. The new scheme is derived by performing a fourth‐order finite difference approximation to the spatial derivatives of the diffusion equation in non‐uniform grid. The implicit Crank‐Nicolson technique is then applied to the resulting approximation, and the subsequent equation is split into two alternating direction sweeps, giving rise to a new high‐order ADE scheme. Because the new scheme can be potentially applied in coupled hydro‐mechanical (H‐M) simulation, the pore pressure solutions from the new scheme are then sequentially coupled with an existing geomechanical simulator in the computer program Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua. This coupling procedure is called the sequentially explicit coupling technique based on the fourth‐order ADE scheme (SEA‐4). Verifications of well‐known consolidation problems showed that the new ADE scheme and SEA‐4 can reduce computer runtime by 46% to 75% to that of Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua's basic scheme. At the same time, the techniques still maintained average percentage error of 1.6% to 3.5% for pore pressure and 0.2% to 1.5% for displacement solutions and were still accurate under typical grid non‐uniformities. This result suggests that the new high‐order ADE scheme can provide an efficient explicit technique for solving the flow equation of a coupled H‐M problem, which will be beneficial for large‐scale and long‐term H‐M problems in geoengineering.

Geochemistry of hydroxy acids in sediments—I. Some freshwater and brackish water lakes in Japan

Series of α, β, ω and (ω-1) hydroxy fatty acids (FAOHs) were determined in several freshwater and brackish water lacustrine sediments in Japan. Analytical procedure used was digestion of the solvent-extracted sediment with HF/HCl followed by solvent and saponification extraction of the residue. Abundances of α/β and ω-FAOH determined by this procedure were 2–3 times higher than those obtained by single alkaline saponification and of the same order with those provided by HCl hydrolysis. Major portion of α/β-FAOH was obtained by solvent extraction of the acid-treated sediments, while subsequent alkaline saponification was needed for the majority of ω-FAOH to be recovered. Thus determined FAOHs comprised 33–61% (Av. = 42%) of the “bound” acid constituents in the lacustrine surface sediments. The α/β and ω-FAOH composition was principally the same among the samples examined, except for relative proportions of the iso to anteiso C₁₅ and C₁₇ ß(α)-FAOH, which showed significant variations in the ranges of 0.30–1.1 and 0.46–1.5, respectively. In the holomictic lakes, the ratios together with the same ratios of the “bound” branched monocarboxylic acids tended to decrease with increasing water depth of the lakes, suggesting that the ratios may indicate an extent of the early diagenetic alteration of the bacteria-derived lipids either in water column or in surface sediment.     

太赫兹临边探测O3与HCl敏感性分析

臭氧(O_3)是平流层大气最重要的成分之一,而随着人类活动增加的影响,平流层O_3不断减少。在O_3的衰减循环中,Cl化合物是最主要的介质,而氯化氢(HCl)是活性氯的储存库,因此同时探测O_3与HCl对进一步认清平流层O_3的源与汇具有重要意义。本文基于太赫兹临边探测辐射传输软件包ARTS(Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator),模拟研究太赫兹临边探测O_3与HCl的敏感因子量化大气辐射传输及其他大气成分对O_3和HCl的影响。结果表明:(1)在太赫兹波段,O_3与HCl分别在切高大于8 km与大于10 km处,具有很高的敏感性,可以探测O_3与HCl垂直廓线;(2)太赫兹临边探测对于探测目标O_3和HCl,在10 km及以下高度,对目标的浓度变化不敏感,而在中高空则很敏感;温度与水汽的变化对O_3与HCl的探测影响不大,而传感器的天线半带宽及光谱分辨率对于O_3与HCl的探测有一定的影响。     

Age and hydrological significance of lichen limits on sandstone river channels near Sydney,Australia

Trimmed lichen communities (lichen limits) are abrupt changes from a lichen community to a scoured bare rock surface and have been used to determine bankfull channel capacity on bedrock channels and their response to the combined disturbances of flow regulation and climate change. They can also be used to set flushing flows in bedrock channels. In sandstone gorges of the Nepean River, Australia, the crustose lichen, Lecidea terrena Nyl, was common at both gorge and cemetery (sandstone headstones) sites, enabling construction of growth curves for above and below dam areas. Growth curves were used to date lichen colonisation of sandstone surfaces in rivers. The oldest, highest lichen limit at all sites represented the pre‐flow regulation lichen community because its characteristics above and below Nepean Dam were similar and were trimmed to a level that produced consistent discharges across a range of catchment areas. They corresponded to return periods of less than 2 years on the annual maximum series and was developed during the flood‐dominated regime (FDR) of 1857–1900. Lichen limits form by the phycobiont dominating the mycobiont and hence degrading lichen thalli due to water inundation causing weak or dead thalli to be scrubbed from the rock surface. Trimming to the unregulated lichen limit represents a small flood of frequent occurrence appropriate for flushing bedrock channels. A lower lichen limit was only found below a diversion weir and was formed by frequent dam spills between 1950 and 1952 during an extraordinary wet period at the start of the FDR between 1949 and 1990. Lichens colonised exposed sandstone between the level of frequent flows from 1949 to 1952, and the high lichen limit. On the Avon River, an additional lower limit reflected a massive downward shift in flow duration following the start of interbasin diversions to Wollongong in 1962.
