A global inventory of coral reef stressors based on satellite observed nighttime lights

In this article, we present a satellite-based approach to gather information about the threat to coral reefs worldwide. Three chosen reef stressors – development, gas flaring and heavily lit fishing boat activity – are analysed using nighttime lights data derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) produced at the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, National Geophysical Data Center (NOAA/NGDC). Nighttime lights represent a direct threat to coral reef ecosystems and are an excellent proxy measure for associated human-caused stressors. A lights proximity index (LPI) is calculated, measuring the distance of coral reef sites to each of the stressors and incorporating the stressor's intensity. Colourized maps visualize the results on a global scale. Area rankings clarify the effects of artificial night lighting on coral reefs on a regional scale. The results should be very useful for reef managers and for state administrations to implement coral reef conservation projects and for the scientific world to conduct further research.     

Predicting agricultural drought in eastern Rajasthan of India using NDVI and standardized precipitation index

In the present study, prediction of agricultural drought has been addressed through prediction of agricultural yield using a model based on NDVI-SPI. It has been observed that the meteorological drought index SPI with different timescale is correlated with NDVI at different lag. Also NDVI of current fortnight is correlated with NDVI of previous lags. Based on the correlation coefficients, the Multiple Regression Model was developed to predict NDVI. The NDVI of current fortnight was found highly correlated with SPI of previous fortnight in semi-arid and transitional zones. The correlation between NDVI and crop yield was observed highest in first fortnight of August. The RMSE of predicted yield in drought year was found to be about 17.07 kg/ha which was about 6.02 per cent of average yield. In normal year, it was 24 kg/Ha denoting about 2.1 per cent of average yield.

北斗+GPS组合单点定位精度评价与分析

北斗系统现在已经进入了全球组网的阶段。本文详细推导了北斗/GPS组合单点定位的数学模型;设计了两种方案,利用Multi-GNSS Experiment（MGEX）网的实测数据,分别从单个测站和亚太及其周边地区的12个测站来全面地进行北斗、GPS单系统,以及北斗+GPS组合单点定位的精度评价与分析;验证了组合单点定位的数学模型,得出了组合系统单点定位的精度和稳定性均优于单系统的结论,以期为北斗系统的应用推广提供参考。     

基于动态化简的多源数据相似性评估

随着空间数据获取手段和途径的丰富,多源数据的差异性对数据更新的影响一直备受关注。本文提出一种基于动态化简的多源空间数据相似性评估方法。首先,将多个来源数据分别与参考数据用传统方法进行匹配;其次,利用加入动态化简的匹配方法对多源数据重新匹配;最后,分析上述两次匹配结果的差异,从数据匹配的角度出发,通过整体一致性和数据详细程度评估对数据匹配质量进行对比,根据获取的评估结果实现更新数据的选择。通过实验和分析,验证了本文方法的科学性和可操作性。

Ordered weighted averaging with fuzzy quantifiers: GIS-based multicriteria evaluation for land-use suitability analysis

The objective of this paper is to incorporate the concept of fuzzy (linguistic) quantifiers into the GIS-based land suitability analysis via ordered weighted averaging (OWA). OWA is a multicriteria evaluation procedure (or combination operator). The nature of the OWA procedure depends on some parameters, which can be specified by means of fuzzy (linguistic) quantifiers. By changing the parameters, OWA can generate a wide range of decision strategies or scenarios. The quantifier-guided OWA procedure is illustrated using land-use suitability analysis in a region of Mexico.
