Trends in aerosol optical properties over Eastern Europe based on MODIS-Aqua

This study provides characteristics of aerosol columnar properties, measured over ten countries in Eastern Europe from 2002 to 2019. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) and Ångström exponent (AE) were obtained with the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Collection 6.1 merged Dark Target and Deep Blue aerosol product. The product is validated using ground-based Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) situated at Minsk, Belsk, Moldova and Kyiv. The results showed that 76.15% of retrieved AOD data are within the expected error. It was established that 64.2% of AOD points are between 0 and 0.2 and 79.3% of all AE points are over 1. Mean AOD values in the region vary from 0.130 ​± ​0.04 (Moldova) to 0.193 ​± ​0.03 (Czech Republic) with mean value in the region 0.162 ​± ​0.05. Seasonal mean AOD (AE) values were at the maximum during the summer from 0.231 ​± ​0.05 (1.482 ​± ​0.09 in winter) to minimum 0.087 ​± ​0.04 during the winter (1.363 ​± ​0.17 in summer). Gradual AOD reduction is observed in all countries with annual trend from −0.0050 (Belarus) to −0.0029 (Russia). Finally, the relationship between AOD and AE was studied to classify various aerosol types and showed seasonal non-uniformity of their contribution depending on variation in sources. The entire region is under significant impact of various aerosol types, including clean continental (СС), mixed (MX) and anthropogenic/burning (AB) aerosols types that are at 59.77%, 24.72%, and 12.97% respectively. These results form an important basis for further regional studies of air quality and distribution of sources of pollution.     

震后桥梁挠度测量方法的设计与实现

对震后桥梁稳定性与安全性检测过程中,挠度是一项重要检测指标,但是测量这一参数较为复杂,干扰较多,结果存在较大问题。设计一种震后桥梁挠度测量方法。根据实际桥梁设置相关参数,采用共轭梁法计算震后桥梁固定点的初始挠度,结合震后桥梁挠度曲线函数,获得欲求解的桥梁截面挠度值;修正桥梁截面挠度值时,将监测点高程差同基准点高程差间的差值问题替代挠度偏差问题,分析倾斜传感器获取维护点倾斜传感器的理论值和基准点倾斜传感器的理论值,确定挠度偏差,修正震后桥梁挠度测量值。通过简支梁与连续梁实验,验证测量震后桥梁挠度时,具有更高测量精度。     

基于多尺度特征深度学习的短临降水预报

雷达回波外推是短临降水预报的一种重要方法。针对雷达回波外推中随着外推时间的增加而出现回波演变信息丢失这一问题,本文提出一种多尺度特征融合的深度学习短临降水预报模型(以下简称为MSF2)。首先,采用多尺度的卷积核对网络的浅层信息进行特征提取,弥补单一特征检测带来的不足。其次,将不同维度的特征信息进行拼接及通道混洗,进一步增强特征图通道之间的信息流通和信息表达能力。最后,将特征图中的多尺度信息进行融合,从而有效保留不同尺度的特征信息。利用华南雷达回波拼图资料数据,在3种不同降水强度（5 mm/h、10 mm/h和25 mm/h）下进行降水预报研究,并与光流法和ConvLSTM两种主流算法进行了对比。结果显示,在3种不同降水强度条件下,MSF2在所有评价指标（命中率POD、临界成功指数CSI、误报率FAR）中表现最优,这表明引入多尺度机制能改善模型的特征提取能力。相比于目前主流的光流法和ConvLSTM,本文提出的模型对于短临降水预报具有较好的适用性和较高的预报精度,而且实现了业务化运行。     

Optical properties and surface energy flux of spring fast ice in the Arctic

Over the past decades, sea ice in the polar regions has been significantly affecting local and even hemispheric climate through a positive ice albedo feedback mechanism. The role of fast ice, as opposed to drift ice, has not been well-studied due to its relatively small coverage over the earth. In this paper, the optical properties and surface energy balance of land fast ice in spring are studied using in situ observations in Barrow, Alaska. The results show that the albedo of the fast ice varied between 0.57 and 0.85 while the transmittance increased from 1.3×10?3 to 4.1×10?3 during the observation period. Snowfall and air temperature affected the albedo and absorbance of sea ice, but the transmittance had no obvious relationship with precipitation or snow cover. Net solar shortwave radiation contributes to the surface energy balance with a positive 99.2% of the incident flux, with sensible heat flux for the remaining 0.8%. Meanwhile, the ice surface loses energy through the net longwave radiation by 18.7% of the total emission, while the latent heat flux accounts for only 0.1%. Heat conduction is also an important factor in the overall energy budget of sea ice, contributing 81.2% of the energy loss. Results of the radiative transfer model reveal that the spectral transmittance of the fast ice is determined by the thickness of snow and sea ice as well as the amount of inclusions. As major inclusions, the ice biota and particulates have a significant influence on the magnitude and distribution of the spectral transmittance. Based on the radiative transfer model, concentrations of chlorophyll and particulate in the fast ice are estimated at 5.51 mg/m2 and 95.79 g/m2, which are typical values in the spring in Barrow.

基于无人机光学图像的海流观测方法研究

海流信息在海上航行、海洋资源勘探等方面有着重要的应用,传统的现场和遥感观测方式不能满足大面积、实时观测海流的要求。基于无人机平台的光学海洋遥感技术具有机动灵活、成本低、分辨率高的特点,近年来在海洋环境监测中得到应用。然而,由于小型无人机容易受飞行姿态、太阳耀斑等因素的影响,目前在海流观测方面还不成熟。本文提出了利用小型无人机获取高分辨率海面流场的方法,并分析不同因素对观测结果的影响。首先,对无人机获取的光学海面图像做预处理,消除几何成像和图像噪声等因素的影响,并通过分析图像灰度值均值的变化,减小太阳耀斑对图像的影响;然后,基于三维傅里叶变换和海浪的频散关系反演海流,并将反演结果与浮标实测的海流数据进行对比,验证了该方法的可靠性。其次,结合实验数据详细分析了不同因素对海流反演的影响:在本文的实验条件下(有效波高0.2～1.5m,波浪主波周期3.8～5.7s),当图像空间分辨率为0.15m、反演子图尺寸在波浪主波波长的2～3倍时,海流的反演误差较小;增加图像幅数和提高时间分辨率也有利于提高海流的反演精度。现场观测实验的结果表明,本文提出的无人机观测海流技术可以有效获取海流信息。     

Optimal instrumentation of structures on flexible base for system identification

A criterion previously developed by Heredia-Zavoni and Esteva for selecting optimal sensor locations is used to analyse the optimal instrumentation of structures on soft soils. The stochastic response of a linear structural system on a flexible base is formulated for use of the criterion. The case of MDOF shear systems on flexible base, with uncertain lateral stiffness and subjected to random earthquake ground motions, is studied. The optimal location of accelerometers, the reduction of prior uncertainty on the lateral stiffness, the effects of the base flexibility, the relative influence of translation and rocking of the base, and the influence of recording noise are assessed and discussed.

Optimal instrumentation of uncertain structural systems subject to earthquake ground motions

A criterion is proposed for making decisions regarding the optimal location of a given number of sensors to record the seismic response of a structure for identification purposes. The optimal location of the sensors is selected so that the expected value of a Bayesian loss function, expressed in terms of the Fisher information in the recordings, is minimized. The criterion is applied to the case of multi-degree-of-freedom systems with uncertain structural properties subjected to earthquake ground motions modelled as stationary stochastic processes. The use and capabilities of the criterion are thoroughly illustrated by means of an example. Results are used to assess the influence of record duration, recording noise, and ground motion frequency content and amplitude, on the optimal location of accelerometers as well as on the reduction of prior uncertainty about the structural parameters. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

利用泥蚶(Tegillarca granosa)铁蛋白原核表达工程菌获得的重组铁蛋白,通过圆二色光谱分析蛋白二级结构,扫描电镜和电感耦合等离子质谱研究重组铁蛋白富集Fe~(2+)、Mn~(2+)、Cd~(2+)、Cr~(3+)、Hg~(2+)、Pb~(2+)和As~(3+)等7种重金属离子的特性,同时探索利用重组铁蛋白修饰丝网印刷电极,设计和制备重组铁蛋白检测Pb~(2+)和Cd~(2+)浓度的电化学生物传感器。结果表明复性成功的铁蛋白多为完整的?-螺旋结构,而复性不成功的蛋白聚集体则多为无规卷曲。重组铁蛋白的直径和形态与富集的离子种类有关。泥蚶铁蛋白对单一金属离子Fe~(2+)和Mn~(2+)的富集凸显优势。对两种混合金属离子的富集大多表现为竞争关系。但重组铁蛋白对Hg~(2+)和As~(3+)混合组的富集量明显高于单一金属离子组的富集量,对Hg~(2+)和As~(3+)混合组的富集表现出协同促进作用。重组铁蛋白传感器对Pb~(2+)和Cd~(2+)溶液的最低检测限为10μg/L。
