基于C-DTS的土壤含水率分布式测定方法研究

主动加热光纤布拉格光栅法(Actively Heated Fiber-Optic method based on Fiber Bragg grating method,AHFO-FBG method)因具有体积小、测温精度高、准分布式测量、抗电磁干扰、耐腐蚀等优点,近年来成为含水率测量技术的研究热点。研究该技术的率定方法对提高含水率测量的精准性和适用性是十分关键的,但现有研究中均未涉及到此内容。因此,本文采用自主研发的AHFO-FBG传感器对黄土开展了一系列率定试验,研究了ΔT_max和ΔT_cum两种率定方法的含水率率定结果,对此两种方法进行了对比分析。同时,进一步探究了不同加热时长和不同加热功率对ΔT_max法和ΔT_cum法率定结果的影响。研究结果表明：ΔT_max和ΔT_cum法均可得到良好的含水率率定结果,ΔT_max法的RMSE比ΔT_cum法高0.001 m³·m^-3,ΔT_cum法的测量优势不是很显著。在相同加热功率下,ΔT_max法和ΔT_cum法均在较短加热时间下的测量误差较小,且加热时间越短,ΔT_cum法较ΔT_max法的优势越明显;在相同加热时间下,低功率(5~10 W·m^-1)时ΔT_max法的RMSE较小,高功率(15~35 W·m^-1)时ΔT_cum法的RMSE较小,且适当的增加热功率有助于减少含水率率定误差。研究成果为AHFO-FBG技术实现土体含水率的精确测量和进一步应用提供了依据。     

基于机理的合成孔径雷达系统成像误差理论分析

Rice Husk Ash as a Low Cost Adsorbent for the Removal of Methylene Blue and Congo Red in Aqueous Phases

Adsorption is of significant importance for effluent treatment, especially for the treatment of colored effluent generated from the dyeing and bleaching industries. Low cost adsorbents have gained attention over the decades as a means of achieving very high removal efficiencies to meet effluent discharge standards. The present article reports on batch investigations for color removal from aqueous solutions of Methylene Blue (MB) and Congo Red (CR) using Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as an alternative low cost adsorbent. The performance analysis was carried out as a function of various operating parameters, such as initial concentration of dye, adsorbent dose, contact time, shaker speed, interruption of shaking and ionic concentration. Performance studies revealed that a very high percentage removal of color was achievable for both dyes. The maximum percentage removal of MB was 99.939%, while 98.835% removal was observed for CR. These percentage removals were better than existing systems. Detailed data analysis indicated that adsorption of MB followed the Temkin isotherm, while CR followed the Freundlich isotherm. These isotherms were feasible within the framework of experimentation. Batch kinetic data, on the other hand, indicated that pseudo second order kinetics governed adsorption in both cases. Sensitivity analysis further indicated that the effects of initial dye concentration, shaker speed, pH and ionic strength had no noticeable effect on the percentage dye removal at equilibrium. Batch desorption studies revealed that 50% acetone solution was optimum for CR, while desorption of MB varied directly with acetone concentration.     

Recent advances in (soil moisture) triple collocation analysis

To date, triple collocation (TC) analysis is one of the most important methods for the global-scale evaluation of remotely sensed soil moisture data sets. In this study we review existing implementations of soil moisture TC analysis as well as investigations of the assumptions underlying the method. Different notations that are used to formulate the TC problem are shown to be mathematically identical. While many studies have investigated issues related to possible violations of the underlying assumptions, only few TC modifications have been proposed to mitigate the impact of these violations. Moreover, assumptions, which are often understood as a limitation that is unique to TC analysis are shown to be common also to other conventional performance metrics. Noteworthy advances in TC analysis have been made in the way error estimates are being presented by moving from the investigation of absolute error variance estimates to the investigation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) metrics. Here we review existing error presentations and propose the combined investigation of the SNR (expressed in logarithmic units), the unscaled error variances, and the soil moisture sensitivities of the data sets as an optimal strategy for the evaluation of remotely-sensed soil moisture data sets.     

基于Monte Carlo方法的由GPS观测计算地应变率的误差分析

在利用GPS观测计算地应变率中,应变率的误差分布在地球动力学研究中非常重要. 为解决这一问题,文中提出基于Monte Carlo技术,利用GPS观测的速度计算地应变率进行误差分析的方法;以青藏高原地区为例,利用带有误差的GPS观测数据进行了大量、独立的应变率重复计算,然后运用统计方法给出了应变率分量及其误差的分布. 结果显示青藏高原的喜马拉雅及中东部地区地应变率的东西向、南北向及剪应变率分量的误差相对较大,但整个青藏高原及附近地区应变率结果稳定可靠;研究结果进一步表明,由GPS观测计算应变率的误差主要决定于GPS观测速度的误差, 在变形小的区域（如中国东部地区）,目前GPS的观测精度还不能完全满足地应变率计算的要求.
