Sedimentary elements,evolutions and controlling factors of the Miocene channel system:a case study of the deep-water Taranaki Basin in New Zealand

Deep-water channel systems are important petroleum reservoirs,and many have been discovered worldwide.Understanding deep-water channel sedimentary elements and evolution is helpful for deep-sea petroleum exploration and development.Based on high-resolution 3D seismic data,the Miocene channel system in the deep-water Taranaki Basin,New Zealand,was analyzed by using seismic interpretation techniques such as interlayer attribute extraction and strata slicing.The channel system was divided into five composite channels(CC-I to CC-V)according to four secondary level channel boundaries,and sedimentary elements such as channels,slump deposits,inner levees,mass transport deposits,and hemipelagic drape deposits were identified in the channel system.The morphological characteristics of several composite channels exhibited stark variances,and the overall morphology of the composite channels changed from relatively straight to highly sinuous to relatively straight.The evolution of the composite channels involved a gradual and repeated process of erosion and filling,and the composite channels could be divided into three evolutionary stages:initial erosion-filling,later erosion-filling(multistage),and channel abandonment.The middle Miocene channel system may have formed as a consequence of combined regional tectonic activity and global climatic change,and its intricate morphological alterations may have been influenced by the channel's ability to self-regulate and gravity flow properties.When studying the sedimentary evolution of a large-scale deep-water channel system in the Taranaki Basin during the Oligocene-Miocene,which transitioned from a passive margin to plate convergence,it can be understood how tectonic activity affected the channel and can also provide a theoretical reference for the evolution of the deepwater channels in areas with similar tectonic conversion environments around the world.

Quantitative morphometric analysis of a deep-water channel in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

The morphological changes of deep-water channels have an important influence on the distributions of channel sand reservoirs,so it is important to explore the morphological change process of deep-water channel for the exploration and development of deep-water oil and gas.Based on a typical sinuous Quaternary channel(Channel I)in the Taranaki Basin,New Zealand,a variety of seismic interpretation techniques were applied to quantitatively characterize the morphological characteristics of the Channel I,and the relationships between the quantitative parameters and the morphological changes of the Channel I,as well as the controlling factors affecting those morphological changes,were discussed.The results are as follows:(1)in the quantitative analysis,six parameters were selected:the channel depth,width,sinuosity,and aspect ratio(width/depth),the channel swing amplitude(λ)and the channel bend frequency(ω);(2)according to the quantitative morphological parameters of the channel(mainly including three parameters such as channel sinuosity,ωandλ),the Channel I was divided into three types:the low-sinuous channel(LSC),the high-sinuous channel(HSC),the moderate-sinuous channel(MSC).U-shaped channel cross-sections developed in the LSC,V-shaped channel cross-sections developed in the HSC,including inclined-V and symmetric-V cross-sections,and dish-shaped channel cross-sections developed in the MSC;(3)the morphological characteristics of the LSC and MSC were related to their widths and depths,while the morphology of the HSC was greatly affected by the channel width,a change in depth did not affect the HSC morphology;(4)the morphological changes of the Channel I were controlled mainly by the slope gradient,the restricted capacity of the channel and the differential in fluid properties.

Habitat evaluation for target species following deep-water channel project in the Yangtze River

In order to optimize the design of a 12.5 m deepwater channel project and protect the ecological environment, it is necessary to study the habitat evaluation of species in the engineered area. A coupled eco-hydrodynamic model, which combines a hydrodynamic model （ADCIRC） and a habitat suitability index （HSI） model is developed for target fish （Coilia nasus） and benthos （Corbicula fluminea） in the Yangtze River in order to predict the ecological changes and optimize the regulation scheme. Based on the existing research concerning the characteristics of Coilia nasus and Corbicula fluminea, the relationship between the target species and water environment factors is established. The verification results of tidal level, velocity and biological density show that the proposed coupling model performs well when predicting ecological suitability in the studied region. The results indicate a slight improvement in the potential habitat availability for the two species studied as the natural hydraulic conditions change after the deep-water channel regulation works.

Sub-Terahertz Channel Sounder: Review and Future Challenges

Due to the large amount of unused and unexplored spectrum resources, the so-called subTerahertz(sub-THz) frequency bands from 100 to 300 GHz are seen as promising bands for the next generation of wireless communication systems. Channel modeling at sub-THz bands is essential for the design and deployment of future wireless communication systems. Channel measurement is a widely adopted method to obtain channel characteristics and establish mathematical channel models. Channel measurements depend on the design and construction of channel sounders. Thus, reliable channel sounding techniques and accurate channel measurements are required. In this paper, the requirements of an ideal channel sounder are discussed and the main channel sounding techniques are described for the subTHz frequency bands. The state-of-the-art sub-THz channel sounders reported in the literature and respective channel measurements are presented. Moreover, a vector network analyzer(VNA) based channel sounder, which supports frequency bands from 220 to330 GHz is presented and its performance capability and limitation are evaluated. This paper also discussed the challenge and future outlook of the sub-THz channel sounders and measurements.

Sound event localization and detection based on deep learning

Acoustic source localization(ASL)and sound event detection(SED)are two widely pursued independent research fields.In recent years,in order to achieve a more complete spatial and temporal representation of sound field,sound event localization and detection(SELD)has become a very active research topic.This paper presents a deep learning-based multioverlapping sound event localization and detection algorithm in three-dimensional space.Log-Mel spectrum and generalized cross-correlation spectrum are joined together in channel dimension as input features.These features are classified and regressed in parallel after training by a neural network to obtain sound recognition and localization results respectively.The channel attention mechanism is also introduced in the network to selectively enhance the features containing essential information and suppress the useless features.Finally,a thourough comparison confirms the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed SELD algorithm.Field experiments show that the proposed algorithm is robust to reverberation and environment and can achieve higher recognition and localization accuracy compared with the baseline method.

A New Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer Channel Selection and Assessment of Its Impact on Met Office NWP Forecasts

A new set of Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer （IASI） channels was re-selected from 314 EUMETSAT channels. In selecting channels, we calculated the impact of the individually added channel on the improvement in the analysis outputs from a one-dimensional variational analysis （1D-Var） for the Unified Model （UM） data assimilation system at the Met Office, using the channel score index （CSI） as a figure of merit. Then, 200 channels were selected in order by counting each individual channel＇s CSI contribution. Compared with the operationally used 183 channels for the UM at the Met Office, the new set shares 149 channels, while the other 51 channels are new. Also examined is the selection from the entropy reduction method with the same 1D-Var approach, Results suggest that channel selection can be made in a more objective fashion using the proposed CSI method. This is because the most important channels can be selected across the whole IASI observation spectrum. In the experimental trial runs using the UM global assimilation system, the new channels had an overall neutral impact in terms of improvement in forecasts, as compared with results from the operational channels. However, upper-tropospheric moist biases shown in the control run with operational channels were significantly reduced in the experimental trial with the newly selected channels. The reduction of moist biases was mainly due to the additional water vapor channels, which are sensitive to the upper-tropospheric water vapor.

Spatial Channel Sounding Based on Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Principles

In this paper, we propose a simplified spatial channel sounding method by utilizing bistatic synthetic aperture radar(BiSAR) principles. Despite the different deployment geometries compared with a conventional BiSAR system, the feasibility of the approach is established by 1) the proposed method achieves a better spatial resolution than conventional directional channel sounders and 2) reconstruction algorithms based on time-domain backprojection in conjunction with a digital elevation model provide a good imaging performance and are suitable for reconstructing the spatial distribution of scatterers. Simulations of a high-speed rail(HSR) scenario demonstrate that the estimated power delay profiles(PDPs) and power angle profiles(PAPs) are close to the actual values.

Long-Range VNA-Based Channel Sounder: Design and Measurement Validation at MmWave and Sub-THz Frequency Bands

With the increasing demand for high bandwidth wireless communication systems,and with a congested spectrum in the sub-6 GHz frequency bands,researchers have been looking into exploration of millimeter wave(mmWave)and sub-terahertz(subTHz)frequency bands.Channel modeling is essential for system design and performance evaluation of new wireless communication systems.Accurate channel modeling relies on reliable measured channel data,which is collected by high-fidelity channel sounders.Furthermore,it is of importance to understand to which extent channel parameters are frequency dependent in typical deployment scenario(including both indoor short-range and outdoor long-range scenarios).To achieve this purpose,this paper presents a stateof-art long-range 28 GHz and 300 GHz VNA-based channel sounder using optical cable solutions,which can support a measurement range up to 300 m and 600 m in principle,respectively.The design,development and validation of the long-range channel sounders at mmWave and sub-THz bands are reported,with a focus on their system principle,link budget,and backto-back measurements.Furthermore,a measurement campaign in an indoor corridor is performed using the developed 300 GHz system and 28 GHz channel sounding systems.Both measured channels at the 28 GHz and 300 GHz channels are shown to be highly sparse and specular.A higher number of Multi Path Components(MPC)are observed for the 28 GHz system,while the same main MPC are observed for both systems.

Inaudible Sound Covert Channel with Anti-Jamming Capability: Attacks vs. Countermeasure

When an inaudible sound covert channel(ISCC)attack is launched inside a computer system,sensitive data are converted to inaudible sound waves and then transmitted.The receiver at the other end picks up the sound signal,from which the original sensitive data can be recovered.As a forceful countermeasure against the ISCC attack,strong noise can be used to jam the channel and literally shut down any possible sound data transmission.In this paper,enhanced ISCC is proposed,whose transmission frequency can be dynamically changed.Essentially,if the transmitter detects that the covert channel is being jammed,the transmitter and receiver both will switch to another available frequency and re-establish their communications,following the proposed communications protocol.Experimental results show that the proposed enhanced ISCC can remain connected even in the presence of a strong jamming noise source.Correspondingly,a detection method based on frequency scanning is proposed to help to combat such an anti-jamming sound channel.With the proposed countermeasure,the bit error rate(BER)of the data communications over enhanced ISCC soars to more than 48%,essentially shutting down the data transmission,and thus neutralizing the security threat.
