The C-band wind speed retrieval models, CMOD4, CMOD - IFR2, and CMOD5 were applied to retrieval of sea surface wind speeds from ENVISAT (European environmental satellite) ASAR (advanced synthetic aperture radar) data in the coastal waters near Hong Kong during a period from October 2005 to July 2007. The retrieved wind speeds are evaluated by comparing with buoy measurements and the QuikSCAT (quick scatterometer) wind products. The results show that the CMOD4 model gives the best performance at wind speeds lower than 15 m/s. The correlation coefficients with buoy and QuikSCAT winds are 0.781 and 0.896, respectively. The root mean square errors are the same 1.74 m/s. Namely, the CMOD4 model is the best one for sea surface wind speed retrieval from ASAR data in the coastal waters near Hong Kong. 相似文献
Sea level observed by altimeter during the 1993–2004 period, thermosteric sea level from 1945 through 2004, and tide gauge records are analyzed to investigate the interannual variability of sea level in the South China Sea (SCS) and its relationship with ENSO (El Niño and Southern Oscillation). Both the interannual variations of the observed sea level and the thermosteric sea level are closely related to ENSO. An ‘enigma’ that the SST and sea level in the SCS have inverse response to ENSO is revealed. It is found that the thermosteric sea level has an excellent correspondence to seawater temperature at 100 m depth, and their variations are unsynchronized to SST. Detailed analysis denotes that the warming of seawater occurs only in the upper 75 m during and after the mature phase of El Niño, while the cooling appears in the layers deeper than 75 m during El Niño years. The volume transports between the SCS and the adjacent oceans and the anomalous Ekman pumping contribute a lot for the sea level fall in the developing stage of El Niño, while the mass exchange, which is dominated by precipitation, plays a more significant role in the following continuous negative sea level anomalies. 相似文献
Near-wellbore fracture tortuosity has important impacts on the productivity of fractured oil and gas wells and the injectivity of CO2 or solids disposal injectors. Previous models for simulating near-wellbore fracture tortuosity usually assume fracture growth in linear-elastic media, without considering the effects of porous features of the rock. In this paper, a 2D fully coupled model is developed to simulate near-wellbore fracturing using the XFEM-based cohesive segment method. The model takes into account a variety of crucial physical aspects, including fracture extension and turning, fluid flow in the fracture, fluid leak-off through wellbore wall and fracture surfaces, pore fluid flow, and rock deformation. The proposed model was verified against two sets of published experimental results. Numerical examples were carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters on near-wellbore fracture trajectory, injection pressure, and fracture width. Results show that near-wellbore fracture behaviors are not only dependent on rock elastic properties and field stresses, but also greatly influenced by porous properties of the rock, such as permeability and leak-off coefficient. Some field implications were provided based on the simulation results. By overcoming some limitations of the previous models, the proposed model predicts more realistic fracture evolution in the near-wellbore region and provides an attractive tool for design and evaluation of many field operations, for which near-wellbore fracture behaviors play an important role on their successes.
Topsoil samples (0–20 cm) (n = 237) were collected from Rugao County, China. Geostatistical variogram analysis, sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS),
and principal component (PC) analysis were applied to assess spatial variability of soil nutrients, identify the possible
areas of nutrient deficiency, and explore spatial scale of variability of soil nutrients in the county. High variability of
soil nutrient such as soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), available P, K, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and B concentrations
were observed. Soil nutrient properties displayed significant differences in their spatial structures, with available Cu having
strong spatial dependence, SOM and available P having weak spatial dependence, and other nutrient properties having moderate
spatial dependence. The soil nutrient deficiency, defined here as measured nutrient concentrations which do not meet the advisory
threshold values specific to the county for dominant crops, namely rice, wheat, and rape seeds, was observed in available
K and Zn, and the deficient areas covered 38 and 11%, respectively. The first three PCs of the nine soil nutrient properties
explained 62.40% of the total variance. TN and SOM with higher loadings on PC1 are closely related to soil texture derived
from different parent materials. The PC2 combined intermediate response variables such as available Zn and P that are likely
to be controlled by land use and soil pH. Available B has the highest loading on PC3 and its variability of concentrations
may be primarily ascribed to localized anthropogenic influence. The amelioration of soil physical properties (i.e. soil texture)
and soil pH may improve the availability of soil nutrients and the sustainability of the agricultural system of Rugao County. 相似文献
This study assesses the accuracy and the applicability of the Korteweg-de Vries(KdV) and the nonlinear Schr?dinger(NLS) equation solutions to derivation of dynamic parameters of internal solitary waves(ISWs) from satellite images. Visible band images taken by five satellite sensors with spatial resolutions from 5 m to 250 m near the Dongsha Atoll of the northern South China Sea(NSCS) are used as a baseline. From the baseline, the amplitudes of ISWs occurring from July 10 to 13, 2017 are estimate... 相似文献

To investigate the annual and interannual variability of ocean surface wind over the South China Sea (SCS), the vector empirical orthogonal function (VEOF) method and the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) method were employed to analyze a set of combined satellite scatterometer wind data during the period from December 1992 to October 2009. The merged wind data were generated from European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS)-1/2 Scatterometer, NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) and NASA’s Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) wind products. The first VEOF mode corresponds to a winter-summer mode which accounts for 87.3% of the total variance and represents the East Asian monsoon features. The second mode of VEOF corresponds to a spring-autumn oscillation which accounts for 8.3% of the total variance. To analyze the interannual variability, the annual signal was removed from the wind data set and the VEOFs of the residuals were calculated. The temporal mode of the first interannual VEOF is correlated with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) with a four-month lag. The second temporal interannual VEOF mode is correlated with the SOI with no time lag. The time series of the two interannual VEOFs were decomposed using the HHT method and the results also show a correlation between the interannual variability and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. 相似文献
