Statistical analysis of surface urban heat island intensity variations: A case study of Babol city,Iran

The urban heat island is considered as one of the most important climate change phenomena in urban areas, which can result in remarkable negative effects on flora, concentration of pollutants, air quality, energy and water consumption, human health, ecological and economic impacts, and even on global warming. The variation analysis of the surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) is important for understanding the effect of urbanization and urban planning. The objective of this study was to present a new strategy based on the Shannon’s entropy and Pearson chi-square statistic to investigate the spatial and temporal variations of the SUHII. In this study, Landsat TM, ETM+, OLI and TIRS images, MODIS products, meteorological data, topographic and population maps of the Babol city, Iran, from 1985 to 2017, and air temperature data recorded by ground recorder devices in 2017 were used. First, Single-Channel algorithm was used to estimate land surface temperature (LST), and the maximum likelihood classifier was employed to classify Landsat images. Then, based on LST maps, surface urban heat island ratio index was employed to calculate the SUHII. Further, several statistical methods, such as the degree-of-freedom, degree-of-sprawl and degree-of-goodness, were used to analyse the SUHII variation along different geographic directions and in various time periods. Finally, correlation between various parameters such as air temperature, SUHII, population variation and degree-of-goodness index values were investigated. The results indicated that the SUHII value increased by 24% in Babol over different time periods. The correlation coefficient yielded 0.82 between the values of the difference between the mean air temperature of the urban and suburbs and the SUHII values for the geographic directions. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient between the population variation and the degree-of-goodness index values reached 0.8. The results suggested that the SUHII variation of Babol city had a high degree-of-freedom, high degree-of-sprawl and negative degree-of-goodness.     

藏南拉康温泉地质特征及雄曲河谷两岸地热分布不均成因分析

西藏山南地区洛扎县雄曲河拉康段在600 m距离内出露温泉4处,仅1处位于河谷右岸;平硐勘查显示两岸岩性、产状、构造一致,地热异常却仅在左岸平硐内部显著,右岸平硐地热异常不明显。本次研究以此异常为出发点,通过片麻状花岗岩不同切面导热实验、片麻状花岗岩与板岩相同切面导热实验,温泉水δ~2H,δ~(18)O同位素测试分析等方法,探究该处河谷两侧地热异常的成因,得出以下结论:1、该处地热资源为干热岩型地热资源,热源是深部岩浆,氢氧同位素显示温泉热水来源于大气降水;2、片麻状花岗岩平行和垂直片麻理方向存在导热各向异性,当温度恒定时平行于片麻理方向比垂直于片麻理方向温度高5.5%~6.0%;3、河流的下切作用使得两岸岩体覆盖程度存在差异,导致两岸地热异常不均。本次研究成果可以为深切峡谷地区寻找浅层干热岩、干热岩发电与水力发电共同开发提供一定启示。     

The contribution of organic and mineral colloidal nanoparticles to element transport in a podzol soil

The aim of this work is to analyze the size-distribution and composition of nanoparticles in a water-extract of a podzol B horizon. AsFlowFFF coupled to ICP–MS and a UV/VIS detector was used for particle fractionation and simultaneous measurement of the composition of the nanoparticles. Detected nanoparticles were organic and mineral particles; the mineral particles were dominated by clay and Fe-(hydr)oxides. Both organic- and inorganic particles contributed to the mobility of Fe, Al, trace metals and P. For Zn, Pb and P respectively 73%, 92% and 72% of the colloidal concentrations were associated with clay minerals. The large contribution of clay particles to the mobility of trace metals and P can be partly explained by the high amount of dispersed clay due to drying, sieving and rewetting of the soil. Inorganic nanoparticles can contribute significantly to the mobility of metals and P in soils.

Enhancing seismic P phase arrival picking based on wavelet denoising and kurtosis picker

P phase arrival picking of weak signals is still challenging in seismology. A wavelet denoising is proposed to enhance seismic P phase arrival picking, and the kurtosis picker is applied on the wavelet-denoised signal to identify P phase arrival. It has been called the WD-K picker. The WD-K picker, which is different from those traditional wavelet-based pickers on the basis of a single wavelet component or certain main wavelet components, takes full advantage of the reconstruction of main detail wavelet components and the approximate wavelet component. The proposed WD-K picker considers more wavelet components and presents a better P phase arrival feature. The WD-K picker has been evaluated on 500 micro-seismic signals recorded in the Chinese Yongshaba mine. The comparison between the WD-K pickings and manual pickings shows the good picking accuracy of the WD-K picker. Furthermore, the WD-K picking performance has been compared with the main detail wavelet component combining-based kurtosis (WDC-K) picker, the single wavelet component-based kurtosis (SW-K) picker, and certain main wavelet component-based maximum kurtosis (MMW-K) picker. The comparison has demonstrated that the WD-K picker has better picking accuracy than the other three-wavelet and kurtosis-based pickers, thus showing the enhanced ability of wavelet denoising.     

北极冰下声传播特性实验研究

通过2017年8月6日在北极海域开展的一次声传播实验，开展了冰下声传播特性实验研究。结合Burke-Twersky （BT）散射模型与射线模型，分析了冰下声传播的多途到达结构，研究了接收声强变化规律，解释了接收声强在30 min内衰减20 dB的现象，分析了接收信号的时间相关性，探讨了接收信号相关性较低的原因。实验结果表明，表面接收信号主要由小角度多次反转反射声线、一次海底反射声线和二次海底反射声线依次构成，表面声道到达信号显著强于海底反射信号。试验冰站在试验期间的运动导致了声传播信号强度和相关性的迅速衰减，并通过仿真得到了验证。     

东海黑潮热输送及其与黄淮平原区汛期降水的关系

根据日本气象厅1956—1990年PN（G）断面观测资料分析东海黑潮热输送的变异特征，并探讨其冬季热输送与黄淮平原区汛期（6－8月）降水的关系。结果表明，黑潮通过PN（G）断面多年平均的热输送达15．74×1014W，其中冬季热输送的年际和长期变化特别明显；冬季热输送年际变化的周期主要为对．23.4a、3.5a、和2.6a，长期变化总趋势是70年代末以前各年热输送距平均为负值，对年代末接近多年平均值，进入80年代各年距平值不仅为正且逐年增大；东海黑潮冬季热输送与黄淮平原区汛期降水具有相近的长期变化趋势，两者间存在较好的负相关关系。     

台湾暖流水(团)夏季T-S特征和来源的初步分析

在濒临我国闽、浙两省的东海陆架西部海域。终年存在着一股自南北上、具有高盐特性的外海水(图1),它是该海域的主要水团。它的消长和运移,对陆架西部海域的水文状况有着十分显著的影响,我国东南沿海渔场位置的变动以及气候的变化等也与之密切相关。因此,对这股高盐水的研究具有很重要的现实意义,很早就受到了国内、外海洋学者的重视。 较长期来,这股高盐水的名称及涵义一直较为混乱,有称“中间暖水”,或称“黑潮北上分支水”,也称“台湾暖水”和“台湾暖流水”等等。本文根据这股高盐水的来源和特性,采用了“台湾暖流水”这一名称。 关于台湾暖流水,国内、外海洋学者已相继作过一些研究。早在1894年,C.O.MaKapo?曾根据1886-1889年“勇士”号的调查结果指出:“在东海西部有一支黑潮分支出来的中间暖水”。1932年,安井善一在其研究上海一长崎间水温、盐度年变化的著作中曾提到:“在中国大陆沿岸有一黑潮水的分支北上,其温、盐度的性质与日本近岸的黑潮水系相近”。其后,许多日本海洋学者,诸如宇田道隆、辻田時美、井上尚文,深濑茂、松官义晴、中尾徹、以及西田英男等人在研究东海水文状况和水团结构的著作中,都先后在不同程度上对台湾暖流水作过一些概要的分析。 自本世纪五十年代末期以来,我国海洋科学工作者在研究中国近海水文基本特征的同时,也对台湾暖流水作了一些研究,但因受资料限制,这些研究仅局限于分析台湾暖流水在28°N以北、124°E以西海域内的分布和变化特性,而未能探讨其全貌。 近年来,在东海陆架西部海域的海洋水文调査逐渐増多,已经积累了一些观测资料，本文试图根据目前所能收集到的1958-1977年间的资料,对台湾暖流水夏季的温、盐特性及来源作一初步探讨。
