Effects of the number of stations and time resolution on derivation

For at least 30 years now it has been well known that the Dst index can be modelled using the solar wind as input. Since then, many attempts have been made to improve the predictability of Dst using different approaches. These attempts are useful, for instance, to understand which features of the solar wind–magnetosphere interactions are most important in producing magnetospheric activity and how the Dst index would improve the space weather forecast. The Dst index is by far the most reliable and simple indication that a magnetic storm is in progress. In this work, the effect of using more than four magnetic stations and shorter time intervals than the hourly averages used in Sugiura's procedures is evaluated. The discussion is based on the results presented by Burton in 1975 and Feldstein in 1984 considering 4 or 12 magnetic stations and time averages of 2.5 min for a magnetic disturbed period that occurred from February 7–28, 1967, including two geomagnetic storms. The analysis has shown that the global representation of a magnetic storm by the standard Dst (Sugiura) is well preserved either using 4, 6, 12 magnetic stations or using 1 h, 2.5 min 1 min averages. A brief review of the current understanding of Dst has been included to support the discussions. The analysis performed has shown that a more refined Dst index (time and number of stations>4) would be useful to investigate the intrinsic processes and the different current systems involved in the ring current development during magnetic storms; the standard Dst, as it is conceived, is quite adequate to monitor geomagnetic storms and identify their overall features; concerning the magnetic stations normally considered, the inclusion of higher magnetic latitude stations (>35) may underestimate the observed Dst.     

Angular resolution of terrestrial laser scanners

Knowledge of a laser scanner's spatial resolution is necessary in order to prevent aliasing and estimate the level of detail that can be resolved from a scanned point cloud. Spatial resolution can be decoupled into range and angular components. The latter is the focus of this paper and is governed primarily by sampling interval and laser beamwidth. However, emphasis is often placed on one of these—typically sampling interval—as an indicator of resolution. Since both affect the resolution of a scanned point cloud, consideration of only one factor independent of the other can lead to a misunderstanding of a system's capabilities. This will be demonstrated to be inappropriate except under very specific conditions. A new, more appropriate resolution measure for laser scanners, the effective instantaneous field of view (EIFOV), is proposed. It is derived by modelling the shift variance of the equal angular increment sampling process, laser beamwidth-induced positional uncertainty and observed angle quantisation with ensemble average modulation transfer functions (AMTFs). Several commercially available terrestrial laser scanner systems are modelled and analysed in terms of their angular resolution capabilities using the EIFOV.

软岩巷道变形破坏的非均一性及其控制对策

归纳了煤矿软岩巷道变形破坏的非均一性的表现形式，从地质工程角度分析探讨其产生的原因。认为软岩巷道变形破坏的非均一性与软岩及其环境的非均一性和工程因素有关，是这些因素导致巷道软岩力学行为过程与支护结构体系力学行为过程不相适应、非耦合之故。文中总结了相应的控制对策，指出多种对策的有机结合的必要性,强调要正确使用这些技术对策，必须首先对巷道工程地质进行细致研究，要全面掌握巷道工程地质条件，掌握软岩的力学行为特征。强调支护设计要遵循大变形岩土工程设计的思想与原则。

针对SAR立体影像间几何畸变对影像匹配的影响,该文提出一种自适应窗口的SAR立体影像匹配方法。首先引入外部粗分辨率DEM,根据影像参数和DEM高程精度约束匹配搜索范围。然后采用归一化互相关和测度进行辅影像匹配窗口自适应扩展匹配,以保证主辅影像匹配窗口内的灰度信息一致;归一化互相关和值最大时的辅影像匹配窗口为最佳匹配窗口,最佳匹配窗口的中心点为获取的匹配点。最后利用双向一致性约束剔除误匹配点。试验结果表明,本文方法在山地区域能有效地增加正确匹配点数量,提高匹配正确率。
