Widely used statistical validation indices and categorical statistics were adopted. The evaluations were performed at multiple time scales, ranging from daily to yearly, for the years from 2003 to 2008. The results show that all three satellite precipitation products perform very well in detecting the occurrence of precipitation events, but there are some different biases in the amount of precipitation. 3B42V6, which has a bias of 21%, fits best with the surface rain gauge observations at both daily and monthly scales, while the biases of 3B42RT and CMORPH, with values of 81% and 67%, respectively, are much higher than a normal receivable threshold. The quality of the satellite precipitation products also shows monthly and yearly variation： 3B42RT has a large positive bias in the cold season from September to April, while CMORPH has a large positive bias in the warm season from May to August, and they all attained their best values in 2006 （with 10%, 50%, and -5% biases for 3B42V6, 3B42RT, and CMORPH, respectively）. Our evaluation shows that, for the Laohahe Basin, 3B42V6 has the best correspondence with the surface observations, and CMORPH performs much better than 3B42RT. The large errors of 3B42RT and CMORPH remind us of the need for new improvements to satellite precipitation retrieval algorithms or feasible bias adjusting methods.展开更多

Surface hardness (SH) measured by the Clegg Impact Tester (CIT) was evaluated as an indicator for assessing soil strength. Proctor tests were performed on a diverse range of soils to examine the relationships between bulk density (BD), penetration resistance (PR), SH and water content. All three indices showed typical response curves with increasing water content, with notable differences among the soils. Maximum dry bulk density (MDBD), peak penetration resistance (PPR) and peak surface hardness (PSH) showed values of 1.98 Mg m-3, 8.2 MPa and 248 Cmax for Piarco, River Estate and Piarco respectively. Corresponding critical moisture contents (CMC) were much greater for MDBD compared to PPR and PSH. SH showed a significant positive correlation with PR, but not BD. Further divulgence into the relationships between SH and other soil properties as well as crop response will facilitate greater use of the CIT.展开更多

The im pact of surface roughness on residual stress results was discussed. The results have shown th at, in tests ① and ② , Rx is droppedby 14 MPa approximately with the surface roughness being decreased from 0. 75 μm to 0. 55 μm . While in 44 MPa with the surface roughness being decreased from 0 . 75 μm to 0. 55 μm . Compared to tests ① and ② , the effect of the surface roughnesson residual stress results is more significant in tests ③ and ④ , and the reduction effect of surface roughness on residual stress measurement is enhanced. In engineering application, most components are already in different stress states. Therefore, the influence on residual stress m easurem ent can not be ignored. Residual stress of a 2219-T87 A1 alloy plate was m easured. With the confidence level of 0. 95 , the confidence interval is [-122.515,-113.8849] MPa.展开更多
