We compare the prediction skills of July Tmax over southern China between the NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2(CFSv2) and a high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model,using gridded Tmax observation data and ERA5 reanalysis data as benchmarks. The WRF model is driven by CFSv2 multi-member ensemble hindcast and forecast data. Results indicate that the WRF model improves Tmax prediction across China, with particularly significant enhancement over the southern region of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, although a systematic cold bias remains. By applying bias correction to the daily Tmax simulations from both models, we find that the corrected WRF predictions exhibit marked improvement for both the annual and extended-range Tmax. Furthermore, this study explores the physical mechanisms contributing to the improved predictability in the regional model. The WRF model, with its refined physical parameterization schemes, better simulates middle to lower tropospheric geopotential height fields, as well as surface sensible and latent heat fluxes. These results demonstrate that the dynamical downscaling approach can significantly improve the temperature prediction in southern China, highlighting the potential applicational value of this method for extended-range high-temperature forecasting.展开更多

However, for newly developing or developed mobile communication networks(MCN), only limited delay data can be obtained. In such a network, the delay is with epistemic uncertainty, which makes the traditional routing scheme based on deterministic theory or probability theory not applicable. Motivated by this problem, the MCN with epistemic uncertainty is first summarized as a dynamic uncertain network based on uncertainty theory, which is widely applied to model epistemic uncertainties. Then by modeling the uncertain end-toend delay, a new delay bounded routing scheme is proposed to find the path with the maximum belief degree that satisfies the delay threshold for the dynamic uncertain network. Finally, a lowEarth-orbit satellite communication network(LEO-SCN) is used as a case to verify the effectiveness of our routing scheme. It is first modeled as a dynamic uncertain network, and then the delay bounded paths with the maximum belief degree are computed and compared under different delay thresholds.展开更多

However, achieving online estimation with both high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed is challenging, especially when both the process noise and measurement noise covariance matrices are relatively inaccurate. Maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) possesses the potential to achieve this goal, since its theoretical accuracy is guaranteed by asymptotic optimality and the convergence speed is fast due to weak dependence on accurate state estimation.Unfortunately, the maximum likelihood cost function is so intricate that the existing MLE methods can only simply ignore all historical measurement information to achieve online estimation,which cannot adequately realize the potential of MLE. In order to design online MLE-based AKFs with high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed, an online exploratory MLE approach is proposed, based on which a mini-batch coordinate descent noise covariance matrix estimation framework is developed. In this framework, the maximum likelihood cost function is simplified for online estimation with fewer and simpler terms which are selected in a mini-batch and calculated with a backtracking method. This maximum likelihood cost function is sidestepped and solved by exploring possible estimated noise covariance matrices adaptively while the historical measurement information is adequately utilized. Furthermore, four specific algorithms are derived under this framework to meet different practical requirements in terms of convergence speed, estimation accuracy,and calculation load. Abundant simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the validity and superiority of the proposed algorithms as compared with existing state-of-the-art AKFs.展开更多

摘要To investigate the effects of the maximum principal stress direction(θ)and cross-section shape on the failure characteristics of sandstone,true-triaxial compression experiments were conducted using cubic samples with rectangular,circular,and D-shaped holes.Asθincreases from 0°to 60°in the rectangular hole,the left failure location shifts from the left corner to the left sidewall,the left corner,and then the floor,while the right failure location shifts from the right corner to the right sidewall,right roof corner,and then the roof.Furthermore,the initial failure vertical stress first decreases and then increases.In comparison,the failure severity in the rectangular hole decreases for variousθvalues as 30°>45°>60°>0°.With increasingθ,the fractal dimension(D)of rock slices first increases and then decreases.For the rectangular and D-shaped holes,whenθ=0°,30°,and 90°,D for the rectangular hole is less than that of the D-shaped hole.Whenθ=45°and 60°,D for the rectangular hole is greater than that of the D-shaped hole.Theoretical analysis indicates that the stress concentration at the rectangular and D-shaped corners is greater than the other areas.The failure location rotates with the rotation ofθ,and the failure occurs on the side with a high concentration of compressive stress,while the side with the tensile and compressive stresses remains relatively stable.Therefore,the fundamental reason for the rotation of failure location is the rotation of stress concentration,and the external influencing factor is the rotation ofθ.

摘要Understanding the mechanical properties of the lithologies is crucial to accurately determine the horizontal stress magnitude.To investigate the correlation between the rock mass properties and maximum horizontal stress,the three-dimensional(3D)stress tensors at 89 measuring points determined using an improved overcoring technique in nine mines in China were adopted,a newly defined characteristic parameter CERPwas proposed as an indicator for evaluating the structural properties of rock masses,and a fuzzy relation matrix was established using the information distribution method.The results indicate that both the vertical stress and horizontal stress exhibit a good linear growth relationship with depth.There is no remarkable correlation between the elastic modulus,Poisson's ratio and depth,and the distribution of data points is scattered and messy.Moreover,there is no obvious relationship between the rock quality designation(RQD)and depth.The maximum horizontal stress σH is a function of rock properties,showing a certain linear relationship with the CERPat the same depth.In addition,the overall change trend of σH determined by the established fuzzy identification method is to increase with the increase of CERP.The fuzzy identification method also demonstrates a relatively detailed local relationship betweenσ_H and CERP,and the predicted curve rises in a fluctuating way,which is in accord well with the measured stress data.

摘要In this paper,an advanced satellite navigation filter design,referred to as the Variational Bayesian Maximum Correntropy Extended Kalman Filter(VBMCEKF),is introduced to enhance robustness and adaptability in scenarios with non-Gaussian noise and heavy-tailed outliers.The proposed design modifies the extended Kalman filter(EKF)for the global navigation satellite system(GNSS),integrating the maximum correntropy criterion(MCC)and the variational Bayesian(VB)method.This adaptive algorithm effectively reduces non-line-of-sight(NLOS)reception contamination and improves estimation accuracy,particularly in time-varying GNSS measurements.Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms conventional approaches in estimation accuracy under heavy-tailed outliers and non-Gaussian noise.By combining MCC with VB approximation for real-time noise covariance estimation using fixed-point iteration,the VBMCEKF achieves superior filtering performance in challenging GNSS conditions.The method’s adaptability and precision make it ideal for improving satellite navigation performance in stochastic environments.

摘要The turbidity maximum zone(TMZ)is a distinctive aquatic environment marked by consistently higher turbidity compared to upstream and downstream section.In the TMZ,physicochemical properties such as intense light limitation,abundant nutrients,and rapid salinity shifts play a crucial role in shaping phytoplankton dynamics.The Qiantang River estuary-Hangzhou Bay(QRE-HZB)is a macrotidal estuary system known for its exceptionally high suspended solids concentration.To investigate the impact of TMZ on the standing crop and size structure of phytoplankton in the QRE-HZB,we conducted three cruises in dry,wet,and dry-to-wet transition seasons during 2022-2023,by assessing parameters including size fractionated chlorophyll a(chl a),turbidity,Secchi depth,temperature,salinity,nutrients,and mesozooplankton.Results reveal significant variations in the TMZ and associated environmental factors in different periods,which markedly influenced the phytoplankton chl-a concentration,size structure,and cell activity(pheophytin/chl a).The chl-a concentration was high with micro-phytoplankton predominance in wet season,while nano-phytoplankton dominated in dry season.Within the TMZ,lower chl-a concentrations and pico-chl-a contributions,alongside higher pheophytin/chl-a and micro-chl-a contributions,were observed.The Spearman’s rank correlation and generalized additive model analyses indicated strong correlations of chl-a concentrations with turbidity,nutrients,and mesozooplankton.Redundancy analysis further revealed that salinity,nutrients,and turbidity significantly regulated variations in size structure.Phytoplankton mortality within the TMZ was primarily driven by high turbidity and salinity fluctuations,reflecting the vigorous resuspension and mixing of freshwater and seawater in the QRE-HZB.These findings highlight that the standing crop and size structure of phytoplankton were strongly regulated by the TMZ and associated physicochemical factors in the macrotidal QRE-HZB.

摘要As a frequently-observed phenomenon in the northern South China Sea(nSCS),subsurface chlorophyll maximum(SCM)evolution from summer to winter remains unclear,neither the associated hydrographic control.In this study,on the basis of in-situ data of fall-season cruises in 2004–2006,we characterized the depth,thickness and intensity of the SCM in the nSCS using a general Gaussian-function fitting approach,and investigated a linkage to the corresponding ocean vertical buoyance properties.Our results show that the SCM becomes deeper,thicker and less intense offshore-wards in the nSCS during fall seasons.In parallel,a correlation between the SCM variation and mixed layer depth exists in the nSCS,and it becomes pronounced in the shelf region compared to the slope and basin areas in autumn.Physically,once warmer surface ocean and thus stronger thermo-determined stratification,the SCM layer goes deeper and becomes thicker and less intense in the nSCS,especially in the shelf area of the nSCS.Moreover,the impact of water temperatures at deeper layers on the vertical stratification exerts more consequent roles on the spatial variability of SCM,compared to surface temperatures in the nSCS.Specifically,the isotherm line of 22℃ acts as crucial indicator for variations of the SCM in the nSCS during autumns.

摘要Coal dust explosions are severe safety accidents in coal mine production,posing significant threats to life and property.Predicting the maximum explosion pressure(Pm)of coal dust using deep learning models can effectively assess potential risks and provide a scientific basis for preventing coal dust explosions.In this study,a 20-L explosion sphere apparatus was used to test the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust under seven different particle sizes and ten mass concentrations(Cdust),resulting in a dataset of 70 experimental groups.Through Spearman correlation analysis and random forest feature selection methods,particle size(D10,D20,D50)and mass concentration(Cdust)were identified as critical feature parameters from the ten initial parameters of the coal dust samples.Based on this,a hybrid Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)network model incorporating a Multi-Head Attention Mechanism and the Sparrow Search Algorithm(SSA)was proposed to predict the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust.The results demonstrate that the SSA-LSTM-Multi-Head Attention model excels in predicting the maximum explosion pressure of coal dust.The four evaluation metrics indicate that the model achieved a coefficient of determination(R2),root mean square error(RMSE),mean absolute percentage error(MAPE),and mean absolute error(MAE)of 0.9841,0.0030,0.0074,and 0.0049,respectively,in the training set.In the testing set,these values were 0.9743,0.0087,0.0108,and 0.0069,respectively.Compared to artificial neural networks(ANN),random forest(RF),support vector machines(SVM),particle swarm optimized-SVM(PSO-SVM)neural networks,and the traditional single-model LSTM,the SSA-LSTM-Multi-Head Attention model demonstrated superior generalization capability and prediction accuracy.The findings of this study not only advance the application of deep learning in coal dust explosion prediction but also provide robust technical support for the prevention and risk assessment of coal dust explosions.

摘要The annual maximum rainfall event(AMRE)refers to the maximum consecutive five-day rainfall in a year.In North China,these events account for 15%–80%of the total summer(June–August)rainfall amount and pose a great challenge for subseasonal-to-seasonal forecasting.Based on data analyses during 1979–2023,this study shows the interannual variability of AMRE is significantly influenced by the phase and amplitude mode of the annual cycle of the East Asian summer monsoon(EASM),characterized by two orthogonal patterns of southeasterly winds at 850 h Pa over the northwestern Pacific.The EASM phase-locked AMRE shows heavy rainfall events occurring extremely early and late in Beijing and surrounding areas,corresponding to the peak southeasterly wind anomalies in June and August.The EASM amplitude-locked AMRE exhibits extreme heavy or light rainfall over southwest areas with normal phase.Therefore,AMRE has a potential predictability on the seasonal time scale due to its phase-and amplitude-locking with the slow variation of the annual cycle of the EASM.

摘要This study aims to enhance the extended-range prediction of midsummer(July) maximum temperature(Tmax)through a dynamical downscaling method. We compare the prediction skills of July Tmax over southern China between the NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2(CFSv2) and a high-resolution Weather Research and Forecasting(WRF) model,using gridded Tmax observation data and ERA5 reanalysis data as benchmarks. The WRF model is driven by CFSv2 multi-member ensemble hindcast and forecast data. Results indicate that the WRF model improves Tmax prediction across China, with particularly significant enhancement over the southern region of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, although a systematic cold bias remains. By applying bias correction to the daily Tmax simulations from both models, we find that the corrected WRF predictions exhibit marked improvement for both the annual and extended-range Tmax. Furthermore, this study explores the physical mechanisms contributing to the improved predictability in the regional model. The WRF model, with its refined physical parameterization schemes, better simulates middle to lower tropospheric geopotential height fields, as well as surface sensible and latent heat fluxes. These results demonstrate that the dynamical downscaling approach can significantly improve the temperature prediction in southern China, highlighting the potential applicational value of this method for extended-range high-temperature forecasting.

摘要Delay aware routing is now widely used to provide efficient network transmission. However, for newly developing or developed mobile communication networks(MCN), only limited delay data can be obtained. In such a network, the delay is with epistemic uncertainty, which makes the traditional routing scheme based on deterministic theory or probability theory not applicable. Motivated by this problem, the MCN with epistemic uncertainty is first summarized as a dynamic uncertain network based on uncertainty theory, which is widely applied to model epistemic uncertainties. Then by modeling the uncertain end-toend delay, a new delay bounded routing scheme is proposed to find the path with the maximum belief degree that satisfies the delay threshold for the dynamic uncertain network. Finally, a lowEarth-orbit satellite communication network(LEO-SCN) is used as a case to verify the effectiveness of our routing scheme. It is first modeled as a dynamic uncertain network, and then the delay bounded paths with the maximum belief degree are computed and compared under different delay thresholds.

摘要The presence of circles in the network maximum flow problem increases the complexity of the preflow algorithm.This study proposes a novel two-stage preflow algorithm to address this issue.First,this study proves that at least one zero-flow arc must be present when the flow of the network reaches its maximum value.This result indicates that the maximum flow of the network will remain constant if a zero-flow arc within a circle is removed;therefore,the maximum flow of each network without circles can be calculated.The first stage involves identifying the zero-flow arc in the circle when the network flow reaches its maximum.The second stage aims to remove the zero-flow arc identified and modified in the first stage,thereby producing a new network without circles.The maximum flow of the original looped network can be obtained by solving the maximum flow of the newly generated acyclic network.Finally,an example is provided to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of this algorithm.This algorithm not only improves computational efficiency but also provides new perspectives and tools for solving similar network optimization problems.

摘要Over the past few decades, numerous adaptive Kalman filters(AKFs) have been proposed. However, achieving online estimation with both high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed is challenging, especially when both the process noise and measurement noise covariance matrices are relatively inaccurate. Maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) possesses the potential to achieve this goal, since its theoretical accuracy is guaranteed by asymptotic optimality and the convergence speed is fast due to weak dependence on accurate state estimation.Unfortunately, the maximum likelihood cost function is so intricate that the existing MLE methods can only simply ignore all historical measurement information to achieve online estimation,which cannot adequately realize the potential of MLE. In order to design online MLE-based AKFs with high estimation accuracy and fast convergence speed, an online exploratory MLE approach is proposed, based on which a mini-batch coordinate descent noise covariance matrix estimation framework is developed. In this framework, the maximum likelihood cost function is simplified for online estimation with fewer and simpler terms which are selected in a mini-batch and calculated with a backtracking method. This maximum likelihood cost function is sidestepped and solved by exploring possible estimated noise covariance matrices adaptively while the historical measurement information is adequately utilized. Furthermore, four specific algorithms are derived under this framework to meet different practical requirements in terms of convergence speed, estimation accuracy,and calculation load. Abundant simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the validity and superiority of the proposed algorithms as compared with existing state-of-the-art AKFs.

摘要Research on changes in the redox conditions of bottom waters is essential for understanding deep water circulation,global ocean currents,climate change,and ecosystem health.Through sedimentary geological methods,a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between various environmental changes can be achieved,providing detailed evidence and theoretical support for global climate change research.The Ross Sea in Antarctica plays a key role in the formation of Antarctic bottom water(AABW),and the complex climate changes since the last glacial maximum(LGM)make it particularly significant for study.This research analyzes core ANT32-RB16C from the Ross Sea using geochemical proxies such as major and trace elements,grain size,and redox-sensitive indicators like Mn/Ti,Co/Ti,Mo/Ti,Cd/Ti,U/Th,and Ni/Co molar concentration ratios.Combining this data with a previously established chronological framework,the study explores the evolution of redox conditions in the Ross Sea’s deep waters since the LGM.The results show that the deep waters have remained oxygen-rich since the LGM,with significant changes in four stages.Stage 1(24.7–15.7 cal ka BP):Strong oxidizing conditions,likely due to enhanced formation of Ross Sea bottom water(RSBW),increasing oxygen levels.Stage 2(15.7–4.5 cal ka BP):Weakened oxidizing conditions as temperatures rose and ice shelves retreated,increasing primary productivity and depleting oxygen.Stage 3(4.5–1.5 cal ka BP):Continued decline in oxidizing conditions,possibly linked to high primary productivity and oxygen consumption.Stage 4(1.5 cal ka BP to present):A rapid recovery of oxidizing conditions,likely driven by temperature drops,increased RSBW formation,and decreased productivity.
