The CCD instrument background of the SMILE SXI

The ESA and CAS SMILE mission orbit is highly elliptical and will pass through multiple radiation environments.The Soft X-ray Imager(SXI)instrument aboard has a radiation shutter door designed to close when the surrounding radiation flux is high.The shutter door will close when passing below an altitude threshold to protect against trapped particles in the Earth’s Van Allen Belts.Therefore,two radiation environments can be approximated based on the shutter door position:open and closed.The instrument background for the CCDs(Charge-Coupled Devices)that form the focal plane array of the SXI were evaluated for the two environments.Due to the correlation of the space environment with the solar cycle,the solar minima and maxima,the background was also evaluated at these two extremes.The results demonstrated that the highest instrument background will occur during solar minima due to the main contributing source being Galactic Cosmic Rays(GCRs).It was also found that the open background was highest for solar minima and that the closed background was highest during solar maxima.This is due to the radiation shutter door acting as a scattering centre and the changes in the energy flux distribution of the GCRs between the two solar extremes.

Characteristics of Lightning Activity in Southeast China and its Relation to the Atmospheric Background

Based on the lightning observation data from the Fengyun-4A(FY-4A)Lightning Mapping Imager(FY-4A/LMI)and the Lightning Imaging Sensor(LIS)on the International Space Station(ISS),we extract the“event”type data as the lightning detection results.These observations are then compared with the cloud-to-ground(CG)lightning observation data from the China Meteorological Administration.This study focuses on the characteristics of lightning activity in Southeast China,primarily in Jiangxi Province and its adjacent areas,from April to September,2017–2022.In addition,with the fifth-generation European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis data,we further delved into the potential factors influencing the distribution and variations in lightning activity and their primary related factors.Our findings indicate that the lightning frequency and density of the FY-4A/LMI,ISS-LIS and CG data are higher in southern and central Jiangxi,central Fujian Province,and western and central Guangdong Province,while they tend to be lower in eastern Hunan Province.In general,the high-value areas of lightning density for the FY-4A/LMI are located in inland mountainous areas.The lower the latitude is,the higher the CG lightning density is.High-value areas of the CG lightning density are more likely to be located in eastern Fujian and southeastern Zhejiang Province.However,the high-value areas of lightning density for the ISS-LIS are more dispersed,with a scattered distribution in inland mountainous areas and along the coast of eastern Fujian.Thus,the mountainous terrain is closely related to the high-value areas of the lightning density.The locations of the high-value areas of the lightning density for the FY-4A/LMI correspond well with those for the CG observations,and the seasonal variations are also consistent.In contrast,the distribution of the high-value areas of the lightning density for the ISS-LIS is more dispersed.The positions of the peak frequency of the FY-4A/LMI lightning and CG lightning contrast with local altitudes,primarily located at lower altitudes or near mountainsides.K-index and convective available potential energy(CAPE)can better reflect the local boundary layer conditions,where the lightning density is higher and lightning seasonal variations are apparent.There are strong correlations in the annual variations between the dew-point temperature(Td)and CG lightning frequency,and the monthly variations of the dew-point temperature and CAPE are also strongly correlated with monthly variations of CG lightning,while they are weakly correlated with the lightning frequency for the FY-4A/LMI and ISS-LIS.This result reflects that the CAPE shows a remarkable effect on the CG lightning frequency during seasonal transitions.

Comparative Analysis of Energy Characteristics of Two Southwest Vortices in Sichuan Under Similar Circulation Backgrounds

Based on ERA5 reanalysis data,the present study analyzed the thermal energy development mechanism and kinetic energy conversion characteristics of two extreme rainstorm processes in relation to the shallow southwest vortex in the warm-sector during a“rain-generated vortex”process and the deep southwest vortex in a“vortex-generated rain”process.The findings were as follows:(1)During the extreme rainstorm on August 11,2020(hereinafter referred to as the“8·11”process),intense surface heating and a high-energy unstable environment were observed.The mesoscale convergence system triggered convection to produce heavy rainfall,and the release of latent condensation heat generated by the rainfall promoted the formation of a southwest vortex.The significant increase(decrease)in atmospheric diabatic heating and kinetic energy preceded the increase(decrease)in vorticity.By contrast,the extreme rainstorm on August 16,2020(hereinafter referred to as the“8·16”process)involved the generation of southwest vortex in a low-energy and highhumidity environment.The dynamic uplift of the southwest vortex triggered rainfall,and the release of condensation latent heat from rainfall further strengthened the development of the southwest vortex.The significant increase(decrease)in atmospheric diabatic heating and kinetic energy exhibited a delayed progression compared to the increase(decrease)in vorticity.(2)The heating effect around the southwest vortex region was non-uniform,and the heating intensity varied in different stages.In the“8·11”process,the heating effect was the strongest in the initial stage,but weakened during the vortex's development.On the contrary,the heating effect was initially weak in the“8·16”process,and intensified during the development stage.(3)The available potential energy of the“8·11”process significantly increased in kinetic energy converted from rotational and divergent winds through baroclinic action,and the divergent wind energy continued to convert into rotational wind energy.By contrast,the“8·16”process involved the conversion of rotational wind energy into divergent wind energy,which in turn converted kinetic energy back into available potential energy,thereby impeding the further development and maintenance of the southwest vortex.

Gravitational Waves Background, as Well as Some UFO, FRB and Supernova Flares, Are Due to Compressibility of the Spacetime (CoST)

The recently observed gravitational wave background is explained in terms of the quantum modification of the general relativity (Qmoger). Some UFO, FRB and supernova flares also can be explained in terms of Qmoger.

Ratio of Gravitational Force to Electric Force from Empirical Equations in Terms of the Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature

Previously, we presented several empirical equations using the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature. Next, we propose an empirical equation for the fine-structure constant. Considering the compatibility among these empirical equations, the CMB temperature (Tc) and gravitational constant (G) were calculated to be 2.726312 K and 6.673778 × 10−11 m3∙kg−1∙s−2, respectively. Every equation could be explained in terms of the Compton length of an electron (λe), the Compton length of a proton (λp) and a. Furthermore, every equation could also be explained in terms of Avogadro’s number and the number of electrons in 1 C. However, the ratio of the gravitational force to the electric force cannot be uniquely determined when the unit of the Planck constant (Js) is changed. In this study, we showed that every equation can be described in terms of Planck constant. From the assumption of minimum mass, the ratio of gravitational force to electric force could be elucidated.

Correspondence Principle for Empirical Equations in Terms of the Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature with Solid-State Ionics

Previously, we presented several empirical equations using the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature that were mathematically connected. Next, we proposed an empirical equation for the fine-structure constant. Considering the compatibility among these empirical equations, the CMB temperature (Tc) and gravitational constant (G) were calculated to be 2.726312 K and 6.673778 × 10-11 m3·kg-1·s-2, respectively. Every equation can be explained in terms of the Compton length of an electron (λe), the Compton length of a proton (λp) and α. However, these equations are difficult to follow. Using the correspondence principle with the thermodynamic principles in solid-state ionics, we propose a canonical ensemble to explain these equations in this report. For this purpose, we show that every equation can be explained in terms of Avogadro’s number and the number of electrons in 1 C.

A Statistical Algorithm for Retrieving Background Value of Absorbing Aerosol Index Based on TROPOMI Measurements

The ultraviolet aerosol index(UVAI) is essential for monitoring the absorbing aerosols during aerosol events. UVAI depends on the absorbing aerosol concentration, the viewing geometry, and the temporal drift of radiometric sensitivity. To efficiently detect absorbing aerosols with the highest precision and to improve the accuracy of long-term UVAI estimates,the background UVAI must be examined through the UVAI retrieval. This study presents a statistical method that calculates the background value of UVAI using TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument(TROPOMI) observation data over the Pacific Ocean under clear-sky scenes. Radiative transfer calculations were performed to simulate the dependence of UVAI on aerosol type and viewing geometry. We firstly applied the background UVAI to reducing the effects of viewing geometry and the degradation of the TROPOMI irradiance measurements on the UVAI. The temporal variability of the background UVAI under the same viewing geometry and aerosol concentration was identified. Radiative transfer calculations were performed to study the changes in background UVAI using Aerosol Optical Depth from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) and reflectance measurements from TROPOMI as input. The trends of the temporal variations in the background UVAI agreed with the simulations. Alterations in the background UVAI expressed the reflectance variations driven by the changes in satellite state. Decreasing trends in solar irradiance at 340 and 380 nm due to instrument degradation were identified. Our findings are valuable because they can be applied to future retrievals of UVAI from the Environmental Trace Gases Monitoring Instrument(EMI) onboard the Chinese GaoFen-5 satellite.

Establishing environmental background values of selected trace elements and environmental quality assessment of fi negrained sediments in the Jiaozhou Bay catchment,China

With the development of economy,the impact of human activities on ecological environment is increasing,and environmental protection work is important.Trace elements(Co,Ni,Cu,Pb,Zn,Cd,Cr,and Sc)in surface fi ne-grained sediment samples from the Jiaozhou Bay catchment were selected to evaluate their 2015 environmental background values and the environmental quality.Using statistical analysis,the environmental background values(ranges)of Sc,Co,Ni,Cu,Pb,Zn,Cd,and Cr were calculated,being 13.1(10.8-15.4),12.4(8.6-16.2),32.0(22.9-41.2),29.6(13.5-64.9),24.1(13.0-44.6),77.6(38.5-156.5),0.07(0.02-0.20),and 82.5(66.5-104.0)mg/kg,respectively.The enrichment factor,contamination factor,and pollution load index were used to evaluate the pollution status of the Jiaozhou Bay catchment.The environmental background values of most elements are higher than those of the upper continental crust and lower than those of global shale.At present,the pollution in the eastern Jiaozhou Bay is much higher than that in the western part.The results shall be helpful for future management for trace element pollution monitoring in the Jiaozhou Bay catchment.

Multiple Object Tracking through Background Learning

This paper discusses about the new approach of multiple object track-ing relative to background information.The concept of multiple object tracking through background learning is based upon the theory of relativity,that involves a frame of reference in spatial domain to localize and/or track any object.Thefield of multiple object tracking has seen a lot of research,but researchers have considered the background as redundant.However,in object tracking,the back-ground plays a vital role and leads to definite improvement in the overall process of tracking.In the present work an algorithm is proposed for the multiple object tracking through background learning.The learning framework is based on graph embedding approach for localizing multiple objects.The graph utilizes the inher-ent capabilities of depth modelling that assist in prior to track occlusion avoidance among multiple objects.The proposed algorithm has been compared with the recent work available in literature on numerous performance evaluation measures.It is observed that our proposed algorithm gives better performance.

Uranium Series Disequilibrium and Precision Measurement of Radionuclides Activity in Sediment Sample Using Low Background Gamma Spectrometry

Low background gamma spectrometry was used to measure the radionuclides activity of 238U, 232Th, and 235U series as well as 40K and 137Cs in a sediment sample. The goal of the study was to measure the 238U (63.3 keV peak of 234Th;1001 keV peak of 234mPa) and 235U (143.76 keV, 163.33 keV, and 205.31 keV peaks) activity by low background gamma spectrometry in sediment sample. 235U activity in environmental samples is difficult to accurately measure by gamma spectrometry due to its low abundance in nature and low gamma line intensities at 143.76 keV, 163.33 keV, and 205.31 keV. We have shown that by using low background gamma spectrometry, it is possible to accurately measure the 235U activity in sediment samples. The 235U activity was measured without using the major peak of 185.7 keV (Iγ = 57.2%) which requires interference correction from 186.21 keV of 226Ra. 226Ra activity was determined by measuring 222Rn daughters (214Pb and 214Bi). The precision and accuracy of the gamma activity measurement in the sediment sample were verified by using the HPGe detectors with Certified Reference Material (CRM) Irish Sea Sediment (IAEA-385). The results obtained for the 63.33 keV energy line of 234Th are compared with the 1001 keV energy line of 234mPa. The values of 238U and 235U activities, as well as 40K, 137Cs, and 226Ra, agreed with the certificate values of CRM. The results show that the 238U is in equilibrium with its daughters (234Th, 234mPa, and 210Pb). 232Th is also in equilibrium with its daughters (228Ra, 212Pb, 212Bi and 208Tl). 235U/238U activity ratio of 0.046 ± 0.007 in the sediment is constant in nature but fluctuates due to geological processes. A value of 0.055 ± 0.008 was found in our sediment sample.

The Origin of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

This paper explains the Olbers paradox and the origin of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) from the viewpoint of the quantum redshift effect. The derived formula dispels the Olbers paradox, confirming that the CMBR originates from the superposition of light radiated by stars in the whole universe, not the relic of the Big Bang. The dark-night sky and CMBR are all caused by Hubble redshift—the physical mechanism is the quantum redshift of the photon rather than cosmic expansion. So this theory supports the infinite and steady cosmology.

放射性分析中本底对表观计数效率的影响

在放射性分析中,尤其对低活度样品,样品本底的影响是必须要考虑的一个因素。分析实践中,常常涉及计数效率和本底(准确说是确定性本底)的概念,但很少提到表观计数效率和随机性本底。本工作在介绍相关概念的基础上,利用Excel“随机数发生器”研究了本底(包括确定性本底和随机性本底)对表观计数效率的影响规律。本底的影响分为两个方面:一个是因本底扣除不准确而引入的系统误差,它使所有表观计数效率向同一方向偏离计数效率;另一个是本底波动导致的偶然误差,它使表观计数效率在一定范围内随机波动。不管是哪一种误差,本底对表观计数效率的影响均将随着样品活度的降低而增大。对高活度样品,可以不用区分表观计数效率和计数效率这两个概念,但对低活度样品必须区别使用。在有高活度标准源时,不推荐使用通过测量大量低活度样品来获取计数效率的低效方法,宜通过测量活度足够高的标准样品(即本底影响可以忽略的样品)来获取计数效率。

基于GPR-LSTM的地震热红外背景场的构建方法

地震监测是一项非常重要且具有挑战性的任务,遥感技术的不断发展加强了在宏观尺度上对地球表面的监测能力。研究表明,地震前通常都会出现地表温度异常升高的现象,因此各种异常提取算法被应用于地震热异常研究中。其中,基于背景场的提取方法由于具有较强的机理解释性而受到广泛应用。然而,以往基于背景场的异常提取方法更多将背景场限定于某一固定阈值,忽略了受外界因素(非震)影响导致的地表温度的小范围正常波动。据此,文中提出了一种基于GPR-LSTM的地震热红外背景场的构建方法。该方法包括两大部分:震期年变基准场的建立、实际LST的残差波动范围计算及背景场的构建。基于MODIS地表温度产品,以2008年四川汶川和新疆于田地震为研究对象,使用所述方法对地震前兆热异常信息进行提取与分析,经过实验得出以下结论:1)地震热异常通常沿青藏高原的断层分布,这不仅证明了文中方法能够减弱地表温度数据中噪声的干扰,同时也证明该方法在热异常信息提取方面的有效性;2)地震年份的构造活动比非地震年份更加活跃,导致地表温度的异常增温更加明显;3)不同地震案例震前的热异常时空特征各不相同。

甘肃北山地区扫子山组形成于早石炭世,是红石山蛇绿构造混杂岩的重要组成部分,记录并保存了红石山古洋盆形成及演化的地质信息,是讨论红石山地区晚古生代古地理环境及洋盆构造属性的重要窗口。详细的野外地质调查发现,该套地层构造变形强烈,原始层理难以辨识,为研究该套地层的沉积环境增添了难度。基于此,在查明扫子山组物质组成的基础上,通过详细的构造解析,厘定其构造序列,并通过剥离后期构造改造,恢复原始沉积层理。结果表明,扫子山组经历了3期构造变形,第1期为北北西—南南东向逆冲兼左行走滑,可能为洋壳向北俯冲的产物;第2期为北北东—南南西向挤压兼右行走滑脆-韧性变形,可能为碰撞阶段的产物;第3期构造变形以北东—南西向左行走滑为主,为次一级的晚期构造变形。变形样式及变质程度表明,扫子山组以中浅层次构造变形为主,地层未发生明显的倒转和缺失,该套地层物质成分及空间分布具有明显的规律性,显示裂谷型盆地向南趋于成熟的火山-沉积特征。结合红石山-蓬勃山断裂以北发育石炭纪—二叠纪弧岩浆岩,揭示了红石山古洋盆向北俯冲的动力学过程,为进一步研究中亚造山带南缘构造演化过程提供地质依据。

南极和格陵兰岛GPS连续台站背景噪声时空特性

基于GPS观测数据获取的陆地垂向运动对研究现今两极区域的冰川质量变化具有重要的科学意义.受地表环境负荷对GPS时间序列中背景噪声空间异质性的影响,在利用GPS时间序列获取垂向速度场时,估计结果存在较大不确定度.本文针对南极和格陵兰岛区域的GPS连续观测时间序列中背景噪声的空间特性对速度场及其不确定度的影响问题,利用地表环境负荷模型(包括大气、非潮汐海洋和水文负荷)和重力卫星GRACE/GRACE-FO观测数据反演的地表弹性形变对GPS时间序列进行了改正.通过对改正前后的数据进行背景噪声特性分析,揭示出修正环境负荷形变能够有效降低极区GPS时间序列背景噪声幅度,但是大气和非潮汐海洋负荷改正造成了大多数台站背景噪声谱指数的减小,南极和格陵兰岛分别约为其GPS台站总数的46.1%和84.6%,直接导致了对GPS速度不确定度估计的改善效果不明显.对背景噪声空间异质性的研究结果表明,极区台站的背景噪声参数主要表现为随纬度变化的空间特性.

复杂背景下基于YOLOv7-tiny的图像目标检测算法

“黑飞”无人机一旦带有炸弹等物品,会对人们带来威胁。对在公园、游乐场、学校等复杂背景下“黑飞”的无人机进行目标检测是十分必要的。前沿算法YOLOv7-tiny属于轻量级网络,具有更小的网络结构和参数,更适合检测小目标,但在识别小目标无人机时出现特征提取能力弱、回归损失大、检测精度低的问题;针对此问题,提出了一种基于YOLOv7-tiny改进的无人机图像目标检测算法YOLOv7-drone。首先,建立无人机图像数据集;其次,设计一种新的注意力机制模块SMSE嵌入到特征提取网络中,增强对复杂背景下无人机目标的关注度;然后,在主干网络中融入RFB结构,扩大特征层的感受野,丰富特征信息以增强特征提取的鲁棒性;然后,改进网络中的特征融合机制,通过新增小目标检测层,增加对小尺度目标的检测精度;然后,改变损失函数提高模型的收敛速度,减少损失以增强模型的鲁棒性;最后,引入可变形卷积(Deformable convolution, DCN),更好的根据目标本身形状进行特征提取,提升了检测精度。在PASCAL VOC公共数据集上进行对比实验,结果表明改进后的算法YOLO7-drone相比于YOLOv7-tiny,平均精度(map@0.5)提升了6%;在自制无人机数据集上进行实验,结果表明YOLOv7-drone与原算法相比,平均精度(map@0.5)提高了6.1%,并且检测速度为72帧/s;与YOLOv5l、YOLOv7目标检测算法进行对比实验,结果表明改进后的算法在平均精度(map@0.5)上分别高于对比算法4%、3.1%,验证了文中算法的可行性。

一种基于目标与背景特征分离模型的高光谱目标检测修正算法

高光谱图像立方体数据可以提供成像场景中地物在可见光和近红外波长范围内的空间信息和地物属性诊断的光谱特征信息,在目标检测与识别方面拥有得天独厚的天然优势。然而,基于高光谱图像数据的目标检测也存在一定缺陷,如经典的高光谱目标检测算法仅利用光谱维度信息检测目标,检测模型要么对背景高维特征矩阵构建的准确度不足,要么对背景先验光谱特征的完备性要求较高,导致算法对不同复杂度的检测场景适应性不强。因此,基于计算复杂度较低、参数需求量较少且检测性能较为优异的经典多目标检测算法—多目标约束能量最小化(MCEM),提出了一种基于目标与背景环境特征分离模型的高光谱目标检测修正算法(R-MCEM)。首先,设计了一个与目标形状、尺寸相近的逐像元移动运算窗口,依次计算窗口中的每个像元与窗口内其他像元的光谱距离之和D1,像元与各类目标的光谱距离之和D2。其次,采用获得D1/D2最小值的像元替换窗口内的所有像元值。然后,自左向右、自上而下逐像元移动窗口,重复窗口内每一个像元与目标、背景像元的光谱距离运算,并确定窗口内与背景相似度最高、与目标相似度最低的像元。直到移动运算窗口遍历整个高光谱图像,大幅提升了基于目标与背景环境特征分离的背景高维特征矩阵准确度。分别设计了基于实测高光谱图像数据和模拟图像数据的修正检测算法性能验证试验,并采用三维操作特征曲线(3D ROC)结合目标与背景分离度(SDBT)开展修正算法的检测精度评估。试验结果表明,提出的修正算法有效减少了虚警率,提高了检测精度。基于实测数据的检测精度、目标与背景分离度由MCEM算法的0.937 7、 0.57提升到R-MCEM的0.993 5、 0.67,基于模拟数据的亚像元检测能力由MCEM的20%丰度提升到R-MCEM的15%丰度。
