Island instantaneous coastline extraction based on the characteristics of regional statistics of multispectral remote sensing image

This study adopted IKONOS remote sensing images and selected spectral characteristic areas, through regional pixel statistics and calculating weight coefficients of each band, processed the images with the spectral normalized method, which made the features of islands, land and water features more obviously in the images. On this basis, the OTUS was used to determine the optimal segmentation threshold, and the normalization image binarization was made, thus the island coastline was extracted. This method used the characteristic curve method to separate the land and water, obtained the binarization images and maintained the original edge effectively. The coastline that was extracted by Binary Morphology was continuous, reliable and high signal-to-noise ratio. The results showed that this method could extract the coastline fast, simply and effectively, which had the practical value.

Mid-infrared supercontinuum and optical frequency comb generations in a multimode tellurite photonic crystal fiber

We numerically investigate the mid-infrared(MIR)supercontinuum(SC)and SC-based optical frequency comb(OFC)generations when the three optical modes(LP_(01),LP_(02),and LP_(12))are considered in a multimode tellurite photonic crystal fiber(MM-TPCF).The geometrical parameters of the MM-TPCF are optimized to support the multimode propagation and obtain the desired dispersion characteristics of the considered three optical modes.When the pump pulse with center wavelengthλ=2.5μm,width T=80 fs,and peak power P=18 kW is coupled into the anomalous dispersion region of the LP_(01),LP_(02),and LP_(12)modes of the MM-TPCF,the-40-dB bandwidth of the generated MIR SCs can be up to 2.56,1.39,and 1.12 octaves,respectively,along with good coherence.Moreover,the nonlinear dynamics of the generated SCs are analyzed.Finally,the MIR SCs-based OFCs are demonstrated when a train of 50 pulses at 1-GHz repetition rate is used as the pump source and launched into the MM-TPCF.

Impact of Spectral Nudging on the Downscaling of Tropical Cyclones in Regional Climate Simulations

This study investigated the simulations of three months of seasonal tropical cyclone （TC） activity over the western North Pacific using the Advanced Research WRF Model. In the control experiment （CTL）, the TC frequency was considerably overestimated. Additionally, the tracks of some TCs tended to have larger radii of curvature and were shifted eastward. The large-scale environments of westerly monsoon flows and subtropical Pacific highs were unreasonably simulated. The overestimated frequency of TC formation was attributed to a strengthened westerly wind field in the southern quadrants of the TC center. In comparison with the experiment with the spectral nudging method, the strengthened wind speed was mainly modulated by large-scale flow that was greater than approximately 1000 km in the model domain. The spurious formation and undesirable tracks of TCs in the CTL were considerably improved by reproducing realistic large-scale atmospheric monsoon circulation with substantial adjustment between large-scale flow in the model domain and large-scale boundary forcing modified by the spectral nudging method. The realistic monsoon circulation took a vital role in simulating realistic TCs. It revealed that, in the downscaling from large-scale fields for regional climate simulations, scale interaction between model-generated regional features and forced large-scale fields should be considered, and spectral nudging is a desirable method in the downscaling method.

从气候学角度理解“21.7”河南特大暴雨的形成机理

2021年7月19—22日,河南省遭遇历史罕见特大暴雨,破纪录降水引发了严重的洪涝灾害。目前,“21.7”河南特大暴雨的研究大多针对降水个例,引发极端降水的气候学机制仍不明确。本文基于谱聚类方法,利用中国气象局多年历史站点降水资料和NCEP/NCAR再分析数据研究了1960—2021年华北地区夏季区域性极端降水事件的主控环流天气型,系统揭示了“21.7”河南特大暴雨的发生过程。结果表明,“21.7”河南特大暴雨发生在罕见天气型下,即西太平洋上空增强的远距离台风配合异常偏西北的西太平洋副热带高压与异常偏东北的南亚高压。该天气型虽然仅贡献了华北地区夏季区域性极端降水事件的5.97%,却易导致更强的极端降水事件。台风和副高之间的盛行东南风将水汽从西太平洋输送到河南,对流层高低层强烈的风切变引发的垂直上升运动导致了“21.7”河南暴雨的发生。河南及周边地区对流层低层更加强烈的上升运动与非绝热加热之间的正反馈效应使得“21.7”河南暴雨相对同一天气型下的其他特大暴雨事件的极端性更强。本研究为理解和准确预测类似“21.7”河南暴雨的破纪录区域性极端降水提供了全新的气候学视角。

结合区域引导和双注意力机制的高光谱目标检测判别式学习网络

高光谱图像(HyperSpectral Images,HSIs)具有高光谱分辨率和丰富的光谱信息,其具有的大量窄波段电磁波有利于获取感兴趣目标的理化信息,并根据对应的光谱特征对不同物质进行有效区分,从而完成目标检测任务.然而有限样本、少量先验信息、高维相似背景及不同类别差异小所导致的目标和背景混淆问题使得高光谱目标检测(Hyperspectral Target Detection,HTD)面临挑战.为此,本文提出结合区域引导和双注意力机制的高光谱目标检测判别式学习网络(Region-guided and dual-Attention Discriminative learning Network,RADN),以缓解标记样本少的条件下不同类别相似度高和相同类别差异性大导致的背景和目标不易区分的问题,减少高维冗余特征带来的计算复杂度,同时提升检测精度.本文使用经验性区域引导网络训练,采用光谱约束的无监督聚类方法确定网络输入,选择性地关注高光谱图像中的显著性特征和感兴趣区域.此外,本文在网络中添加双通道注意力机制来辅助复杂背景分布的估计,并在网络中引入不同类别光谱先验损失函数,进一步减少高维复杂背景以及光谱变化对于目标的干扰.实验结果和分析表明,RADN在不同数据集上的性能优于现有先进的算法.

同质区共享端元变异性的高光谱混合像元分解

由于不同的照明条件、复杂的大气环境等因素,相同端元的光谱特征在图像的不同位置呈现出可见的差异,这种现象被称为端元的光谱变异性。在相当大的场景中,端元的变异性可能很大,但在适度的局部同质区内,变异性往往很小。扰动线性混合模型(Perturbed Linear Mixing Model,PLMM)在解混的过程中可以减轻端元变异性造成的不利影响,但是对缩放效应造成的变异性的处理能力较弱。为此,本文改进了扰动线性混合模型,引入了尺度因子以处理缩放效应造成的变异性,并结合超像素分割算法划分局部同质区,然后设计出基于局部同质区共享端元变异性的解混算法(Shared Endmember Variability in Unmixing,SEVU)。与扰动线性混合模型,扩展线性混合模型(Extended Linear Mixing Model,ELMM)等算法相比,所提SEVU算法在合成数据集上平均端元光谱角距离(mean Spectral Angle Distance,mSAD)和丰度均方根误差(abundance Root Mean Square Error,aRMSE)最优,分别为0.0855和0.0562;在Jasper Ridge和Cuprite真实数据集上mSAD是最优的,分别为0.0603和0.1003。在合成数据集和两个实测数据集上的实验结果验证了SEVU算法的有效性。

Study on Multi-Scale Blending Initial Condition Perturbations for a Regional Ensemble Prediction System

An initial conditions （ICs） perturbation method was developed with the aim to improve an operational regional ensemble prediction system （REPS）. Three issues were identified and investigated： （1） the impacts of perturbation scale on the ensemble spread and forecast skill of the REPS; （2） the scale characteristic of the IC perturbations of the REPS; and （3） whether the REPS＇s skill could be improved by adding large-scale information to the IC perturbations. Numerical experiments were conducted to reveal the impact of perturbation scale on the ensemble spread and forecast skill. The scales of IC perturbations from the REPS and an operational global ensemble prediction system （GEPS） were analyzed. A ＂multi-scale blending＂ （MSB） IC perturbation scheme was developed, and the main findings can be summarized as follows： The growth rates of the ensemble spread of the REPS are sensitive to the scale of the IC perturbations; the ensemble forecast skills can benefit from large-scale perturbations; the global ensemble IC perturbations exhibit more power at larger scales, while the regional ensemble IC perturbations contain more power at smaller scales; the MSB method can generate IC perturbations by combining the small-scale component from the REPS and the large-scale component from the GEPS; the energy norm growth of the MSB-generated perturbations can be appropriate at all forecast lead times; and the MSB-based REPS shows higher skill than the original system, as determined by ensemble forecast verification.

Derivation of salt content in salinized soil from hyperspectral reflectance data: A case study at Minqin Oasis, Northwest China

Soil salinization is a serious ecological and environmental problem because it adversely affects sustainable development worldwide, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. It is crucial and urgent that advanced technologies are used to efficiently and accurately assess the status of salinization processes. Case studies to determine the relations between particular types of salinization and their spectral reflectances are essential because of the distinctive characteristics of the reflectance spectra of particular salts. During April 2015 we collected surface soil samples(0–10 cm depth) at 64 field sites in the downstream area of Minqin Oasis in Northwest China, an area that is undergoing serious salinization. We developed a linear model for determination of salt content in soil from hyperspectral data as follows. First, we undertook chemical analysis of the soil samples to determine their soluble salt contents. We then measured the reflectance spectra of the soil samples, which we post-processed using a continuum-removed reflectance algorithm to enhance the absorption features and better discriminate subtle differences in spectral features. We applied a normalized difference salinity index to the continuum-removed hyperspectral data to obtain all possible waveband pairs. Correlation of the indices obtained for all of the waveband pairs with the wavebands corresponding to measured soil salinities showed that two wavebands centred at wavelengths of 1358 and 2382 nm had the highest sensitivity to salinity. We then applied the linear regression modelling to the data from half of the soil samples to develop a soil salinity index for the relationships between wavebands and laboratory measured soluble salt content. We used the hyperspectral data from the remaining samples to validate the model. The salt content in soil from Minqin Oasis were well produced by the model. Our results indicate that wavelengths at 1358 and 2382 nm are the optimal wavebands for monitoring the concentrations of chlorine and sulphate compounds, the predominant salts at Minqin Oasis. Our modelling provides a reference for future case studies on the use of hyperspectral data for predictive quantitative estimation of salt content in soils in arid regions. Further research is warranted on the application of this method to remotely sensed hyperspectral data to investigate its potential use for large-scale mapping of the extent and severity of soil salinity.

Effects of spectral nudging on the 2010 East Asia summer monsoon using WRF model

The performance of spectral nudging in an investigation of the 2010 East Asia summer monsoon was assessed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, forced by 1-degree NCEP Global Final Analysis (FNL). Two pairs of experiments were made, spectral nudging (SP) and non-spectral nudging (NOSP), with five members in each group. The members were distinguished by different initial times, and the analysis was based on the ensemble mean of the two simulation pairs. The SP was able to constrain error growth in large-scale circulation in upper-level, during simulation, and generate realistic regional scale patterns. The main focus was the model ability to simulate precipitation. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) 3B42 product was used for precipitation verification. Mean precipitation magnitude was generally overestimated by WRF. Nevertheless, SP simulations suppressed overestimation relative to the NOSP experiments. Compared to TRMM, SP also improved model simulation of precipitation in spatial and temporal distributions, with the ability to reproduce movement of rainbands. However, extreme precipitation events were suppressed in the SP simulations.

Retroperitoneal bronchogenic cyst in suprarenal region treated by laparoscopic resection:A case report

BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts(BCs)are benign congenital foregut malformations that are mostly present in the mediastinum and pulmonary parenchyma but rarely seen in the retroperitoneum.CASE SUMMARY We report the case of 17-year-old girl who complained of epigastric pain.A cystic lesion was found in the left suprarenal region on spectral computed tomography.The ovoid,well-defined,and homogeneous cystic lesion revealed slightly enhancement on conventional imaging but no enhancement on 40 KeV virtual mono-energetic images.The iodine density value of the lesion was 0.001 mg/mL and the Z-effective value was 7.25,which were close to those of fluid material in in vitro experiments.Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass of intermediate signal intensity on T1-weighted imaging and high signal intensity on T2-weighted imaging.A laparoscopic surgery was carried out.Intraoperatively,a cystic lesion with a smooth surface was found in the left retroperitoneum.And the cystic wall was completely resected after intracystic fluid was suctioned.The histopathological examination findings of the lesion were compatible with BC.The patient recovered uneventfully without sighs of recurrence during a 10-mo follow-up period.CONCLUSION Radiological examinations play a significant role in the diagnosis of suprarenal BCs and spectral images offer additional spectral parameters.Accurate preoperative diagnoses of retroperitoneal BCs based on thorough imaging examinations are beneficial to the operation of laparoscopic resection.

Spectral Feature Analysis of Semiconductor Thin Disk Laser

The semiconductor thin disk laser is a new type of semiconductor laser. This work gives the basic operation function of the semiconductor disk laser, and analyses the heat effect by the experimentally measured photoluminescence spectrum of the laser chip at different pump power and different temperatures. We can see that: with increasing pump power, the thermal effect of the gain material becomes seriously and causes the saturation of carrier lifetime, so the electron-hole pair created in the absorbtion layer has no enough time to rate to one of the wells, and the non-radiative recombination happens in the barrier. When the thermal effect becomes stronger, the chip will be not lasing. This phenomenon is from the smaller energy offset between barrier and quantum well. We optimize the original structure design and experimental technology. A non-absorbing AlGaAs layer which is transparent to the pumping and laser wavelength is added to confine the carriers in the quantum wells. At the same time a DBR with double reflecting band is induced to improve the absorbing efficiency of the pumping light. The single QW is replaced by the three narrow QWs. This three QWs structure can add the quantum state of QW, increase the recombination probability of carriers in the QWs and reduce the heat effect. The chemical etching equipment is also improved to control the surface unevenness to be within 50 nm.

Distribution of Lg coda Q in Xinjiang and its adjacent regions

In this study, we collected 1156 broadband vertical components records at 22 digital seismic stations in Xinjiang region, Urumqi station, and 7 stations in the adjacent regions during the period of 1999-2003. The records were firstly processed by the stacked spectral ratio method to obtain Q0 (Q at 1 Hz) and the frequency correlation factor η corresponding to each path. Based on the results, the distribution images of Q0 and η in 1°×1° grids for Xinjiang region were gained by the back-projection technique. The results indicate that Q0 is high (300-450) in the Tarim platform and marginal Siberian platform, while Q0 is low (150-250) in the southern regions as west Kunlun fold system and Songpan-Ganzi fold system. In the northern regions as Junggar fold system and Tianshan fold system, Q0 is also low (250-300) and η varies between 0.5 and 0.9.
