Radar-observed surface current is taken as an example to illustrate the operational high-frequency（HF） radar observing and data service platform（OP）, presenting an operational flow from data observing, transmitting, processing, visualizing, to end-user service. Three layers（systems）： radar observing system（ROS）, data service system（DSS） and visualization service system（VSS）, as well as the data flow within the platform are introduced. Surface velocities observed at stations are synthesized at the radar data receiving and preprocessing center of the ROS, and transmitted to the DSS, in which the data processing and quality control（QC） are conducted. Users are allowed to browse the processed data on the portal of the DSS, and access to those data files. The VSS aims to better show the data products by displaying the information on a visual globe. By utilizing the OP, the surface currents in East China Sea are monitored, and hourly and seasonal variabilities of them are investigated.展开更多

Based on the previous work on the platforms, we argue that a minimum set of guidelines including workflow scheme, module design, implementation standards and maintenance consideration during the whole establishment of the platform are highly recommended, serving to reduce the need for future maintenance and adjustment. A significant gain in performance can be achieved through the workflow-based projects. We believe that a good workflow system plays an important role in the weather forecast service, providing a useful tool for monitoring the whole process, fixing the errors, repairing a workflow, or redesigning an equivalent workflow pattern with new components.展开更多

Examples of Big Data applications include storing and accessing user data in commercial clouds, mining of social data, and analysis of large-scale simulations and experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider. An increasing number of such data—intensive applications and services are relying on clouds in order to process and manage the enormous amounts of data required for continuous operation. It can be difficult to decide which of the many options for cloud processing is suitable for a given application;the aim of this paper is therefore to provide an interested user with an overview of the most important concepts of cloud computing as it relates to processing of Big Data.展开更多

文摘The aim of the work was to determine the spatial distribution of activity in the forest on the area of the Forest Promotional Complex“Sudety Zachodnie”using mobile phone data.The study identified the sites with the highest(hot spot)and lowest(cold spot)use.Habitat,stand,demographic,topographic and spatial factors affecting the distribution of activity were also analyzed.Two approaches were applied in our research:global and local Moran’s coefficients,and a machine learning technique,Boosted Regression Trees.The results show that 11,503,320 visits to forest areas were recorded in the“Sudety Zachodnie”in 2019.The most popular season for activities was winter,and the least popular was spring.Using global and local Moran’s I coefficients,three small hot clusters of activity and one large cold cluster were identified.Locations with high values with similar neighbours(hot-spots)were most often visited forest areas,averaging almost 200,000 visits over 2019.Significantly fewer visits were recorded in cold-spots,the average number of visits to these areas was about 4,500.The value of global Moran’s I was equal to 0.54 and proved significant positive spatial autocorrelation.Results of Boosted Regression Trees modeling of visits in forest,using tree stand habitat and spatial factors accurately explained 76%of randomly selected input data.The variables that had the greatest effect on the distribution of activities were the density of hiking and biking trails and diversity of topography.The methodology presented in this article allows delineation of Cultural Ecosystem Services hot spots in forest areas based on mobile phone data.It also allows the identification of factors that may influence the distribution of visits in forests.Such data are important for managing forest areas and adapting forest management to the needs of society while maintaining ecosystem stability.
文摘The New Austrian Tunneling Method （NATM） has been widely used in the construction of mountain tun- nels, urban metro lines, underground storage tanks, underground power houses, mining roadways, and so on, The variation patterns of advance geological prediction data, stress-strain data of supporting struc- tures, and deformation data of the surrounding rock are vitally important in assessing the rationality and reliability of construction schemes, and provide essential information to ensure the safety and scheduling of tunnel construction, However, as the quantity of these data increases significantly, the uncertainty and discreteness of the mass data make it extremely difficult to produce a reasonable con- struction scheme; they also reduce the forecast accuracy of accidents and dangerous situations, creating huge challenges in tunnel construction safety, In order to solve this problem, a novel data service system is proposed that uses data-association technology and the NATM, with the support of a big data environ- ment, This system can integrate data resources from distributed monitoring sensors during the construc- tion process, and then identify associations and build relations among data resources under the same construction conditions, These data associations and relations are then stored in a data pool, With the development and supplementation of the data pool, similar relations can then he used under similar con- ditions, in order to provide data references for construction schematic designs and resource allocation, The proposed data service system also provides valuable guidance for the construction of similar projects.
文摘Big Data applications are pervading more and more aspects of our life, encompassing commercial and scientific uses at increasing rates as we move towards exascale analytics. Examples of Big Data applications include storing and accessing user data in commercial clouds, mining of social data, and analysis of large-scale simulations and experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider. An increasing number of such data—intensive applications and services are relying on clouds in order to process and manage the enormous amounts of data required for continuous operation. It can be difficult to decide which of the many options for cloud processing is suitable for a given application;the aim of this paper is therefore to provide an interested user with an overview of the most important concepts of cloud computing as it relates to processing of Big Data.
