贵州高原不同地貌区和植被类型水分利用效率的时空分异特征

贵州高原具有少日照、多云雨和复杂下垫面的山地特殊气候和地形,准确探究该区域生态系统水分利用效率(WUE)的时空分异特征对进一步了解喀斯特地区碳水循环过程具有重要意义。本文气象站点数据用ANUSPLIN软件进行插值处理,与使用时间序列谐波分析法和质量控制文件重新构建高质量的MODIS-NDVI数据作为CASA模型的输入数据模拟植被NPP,再结合MOD16-ET数据估算WUE。综合利用Theil-Sen Median趋势分析、Mann-Kendall检验和稳定性分析等统计方法,对贵州高原2000—2014年各地貌区、植被类型WUE的时空分异特征进行对比分析。研究表明:(1)研究区近15年来WUE均值和趋势的空间格局都呈西部高于东部的特点, WUE趋势呈显著增加态势( R^2 =0.63, P <0.001)。(2)从各地貌区来看,多年WUE均值排序为:断陷盆地>岩溶峡谷>峰丛洼地>非喀斯特地貌>岩溶高原>岩溶槽谷,其中断陷盆地和岩溶峡谷呈显著( P <0.05)增加趋势。(3)从不同植被类型来看, WUE大小呈混交林>阔叶林>耕地>针叶林>草地>灌丛排序。针叶林和灌丛变异系数(CV)值较高,但前者对气候波动的抵挡能力更强,增加速率更快。草地CV值最低,变化速率最慢,不易受气候波动的影响。由于退耕还林等生态工程的实施效果显著,使耕地WUE的变化速率最快。     

A model for phased evacuations for disasters with spatio-temporal randomness

This research presents an operable zoning approach for phased evacuations adapted to disasters with spatio-temporal randomness. As a criterion for prioritizing evacuation order, evacuation risk is formulated by taking into consideration the estimated residual evacuation horizon associated with the characteristics of the disaster, the estimated time-dependent capacities of outbound lanes related to network supply, and the time-dependent evacuation demand of an evacuation unit. The modeling of the subzone determined for phased evacuation is based on rescue demand, the characteristics of the disaster, and network supply, and is labeled as a high-risk evacuation zone (HEZ). The range of HEZ features a time-evolving pattern in accordance with phased evacuation. The zone partition paradigm can be seamlessly applied to different types of disasters, especially those with high spatio-temporal randomness. It also provides a generalizable approach for subzone partitioning in phased evacuation by minimizing evacuation risk. The proposed approach is examined on numerical experiments through the road network of Xi’an, China, the results of which highlight its strength in increased adaptability to the dynamics of disaster impact and improved performance in evacuation operation.     

An approach for understanding human activity patterns with the motivations behind

A mechanistic understanding of human activity patterns lays a foundation for many applications. The majority of the current research aims to outline human activity patterns mainly from spatiotemporal perspectives (i.e., modeling human mobility patterns), lacking of understanding of the motivations behind behaviors. The aim of this study is to model and understand human activity patterns within urban areas using both spatiotemporal and cognitive psychology methods to measure both human behavior patterns and the underlying motivations . We first propose a framework that enables us to analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of urban human activities, infer the associated semantic patterns that represent the motivations driving human mobility choices and behaviors, and measure the similarity between human activities. We then construct a human activity network based on the similarity to depict human activity patterns. The framework is applied to a case study of Toronto, Canada, where geotagged tweets are used as a proxy for human activities to explore activity patterns. The analysis of the human activity network shows that 61% of tweeter users follow similar activity patterns. Our work provides a new tool for better understanding the way individuals interact with urban environments that could be applied\ to a variety of urban applications.

辽东半岛东岸近海泥区悬沙浓度的时空分布及控制因素分析

鸭绿江作为典型的中小型河流,细颗粒沉积物从鸭绿江流域到辽东半岛东岸近海泥区的源汇过程有着独特的机制,而遥感解译是了解入海沉积物在河口-陆架输运过程和机制的有效手段之一。因此,本文通过在辽东半岛东岸海域进行了现场悬沙浓度测量,并与GOCI影像建立关系,反演了该地区2011年4月至2017年3月间的表层悬沙浓度,从而揭示了该海域表层悬沙浓度的时空特征,分析了潮流、大风天气和洪水对悬沙浓度变化的影响,在此基础上探讨了研究区的悬沙浓度输运格局。结果显示,研究区表层悬沙浓度空间差异大,河口附近是悬沙浓度高值区,可达500 g/m3以上,其他区域则悬沙浓度多小于20 g/m3。另外,研究区表层悬沙浓度枯季高,洪季低,有着显著的季节性变化。进一步分析表明,枯季大风天气引起的风浪作用增强,是导致表层悬沙浓度增高的主要原因;洪季虽然悬沙浓度较低,但流域洪水期间的悬沙浓度显著增加。此外,作为典型的中小型源-汇传输体系,沉积物从鸭绿江到辽东半岛东岸近海泥区总体上仍遵循"夏储冬输"的输运机制。

1960～2017年华北地区气候生长季变化特征及成因分析

基于华北地区1960~2017年逐日气温数据,运用Mann-Kendall非参数检验、Morlet小波分析和R/S分析等方法,分析了华北地区气候生长季指标生长季开始（GSS）、生长季结束（GSE）、生长季长度（GSL）、生长季内≥10℃活动积温（AT10）及其对应的天数（DT10）的时空变化特征及其影响因素。结果表明:① 华北地区GSS呈显著的提前趋势,变化速率为-2.43 d/10a,GSL呈现出明显延长,AT10和DT10表现为显著增加趋势,变化速率分别为2.95 d/10 a、67.14℃/10a和2.31 d/10a,GSE变化趋势不明显。近60 a来华北地区GSL的延长主要归因于GSS的明显提前。② 生长季指标变化趋势在空间上存在明显差异,其中GSS与GSL,AT10与DT10变化趋势的空间分布格局较为相似。③ 生长季指标普遍在20世纪90年代中后期发生了明显的突变,GSS、GSE和GSL的突变年份为1994~1995年,AT10和DT10的突变年份为1997~1998年。④ 近60 a来华北地区生长季指标变化存在着2~3 a、5~6 a的主周期。生长季指标Hurst指数都大于0.7,表现为较强的持续性,其过去变化趋势将在未来继续延续。⑤ 北大西洋年代际振荡指数（AMO）是影响近60 a来华北地区生长季指标（GSS、GSE与AT10）变化的主要大气环流因子。     

Spatio-temporal Characteristics of Area Coverage and Observation Geometry of the MISR Land-surface BRF Product: A Case Study of the Central Part of Northeast Asia

The Multi-angle imaging spectroradiometer(MISR) land-surface(LS) bidirectional reflectance factor(BRF) product(MILS_BRF) has unique semi-simultaneous multi-angle sampling and global coverage. However, unlike on-satellite observations, the spatio-temporal characteristics of MILS_BRF data have rarely been explicitly and comprehensively analysed. Results from 5-yr(2011–2015) of MILS_BRF dataset from a typical region in central Northeast Asia as the study area showed that the monthly area coverage as well as MILS_BRF data quantity varies significantly, from the highest in October(99.05%) through median in June/July(78.09%/75.21%) to lowest in January(18.97%), and a large data-vacant area exists in the study area during four consecutive winter months(December through March). The data-vacant area is mainly composed of crop lands and cropland/natural vegetation mosaic. The amount of data within the principal plane(PP)±30°(nPP) or cross PP ±30°(nCP), varies intra-annually with significant differences from different view zeniths or forward/backward scattering directions. For example, multiple off-nadir cameras have nPP but no nCP data for up to six months(September through February), with the opposite occurring in June and July. This study provides explicit and comprehensive information about the spatio-temporal characteristics of product coverage and observation geometry of MILS_BRF in the study area. Results provide required user reference information for MILS_BRF to evaluate performance of BRDF models or to compare with other satellite-derived BRF or albedo products. Comparing this final product to on-satellite observations, what was found here reveals a new perspective on product spatial coverage and observation geometry for multi-angle remote sensing.     

基于室内定位数据的群体时空行为可视化分析

室内定位数据记录了用户在室内空间活动的时空轨迹,是研究人群室内行为的重要信息源。室内数据时空耦合、分布复杂,可视化分析可以更好地揭示其规律。然而,与室外数据不同,室内数据具有时空粒度细、定位精度高等特点,与POI之间的空间关系更为明确,其轨迹受到室内设施和空间的制约,出现高维和不规则的特征,而这给室内行为研究提供依据的同时,又给可视化分析带来一定的挑战。现有的可视化方法主要应用于室外定位数据,关注轨迹自身的活动轨迹分析,往往忽略了所经过POI语义信息表达。针对这一问题,首先分析室内空间结构与定位数据的特征,阐述室内空间可视化分析的特殊性;在此基础上,面向室内人群的时空分布、移动模式及相关POI之间的对比、关联分析的需求,细化可视化分析的内容,明确可视化分析与展示的对象,并设计数据结构;从数据结构、可视化方法、展示图件及用户交互4个层次构建时空行为可视化分析模型;基于上述方法,采用WebGIS和WebGL技术综合设计和实现了面向商场定位的商场客流分析系统;最后,通过某一大型商场的用户定位数据进行可视化分析,从而验证了研究成果的正确性和有效性。
