We modeled the particulate scattering spectra using a wavelength-dependent power-law function, finding that the power-law exponents in the Taihu Lake and the Chaohu Lake differ from those in the Dianchi Lake but are similar to the values in the U.S. coastal waters. In contrast to the open ocean, the backscattering properties in the three lakes can not be determined only from chlorophyll-a concentration. The backscattering ratio spectra exhibit a wavelength dependence feature in all three lakes, generally decreasing with the increasing wavelength. Analysis results of the correlations between the backscattering ratio and the individual water quality parameters clearly show that there are distinctive relations among the three lakes, attributed primarily to different compositions of optically active materials in the three lakes. Analysis of the mass-specific scattering and backscattering coefficients shows that the coefficients at wavelength 532 nm in the Taihu Lake and Chaohu Lake are similar, but they are apparently different from those in the Dianchi Lake. Lastly, Model I multiple linear regressions were adopted to partition the mass-specific cross-sections for scattering and backscattering into organic and inorganic cross-sections to further interpret the scattering and backscattering properties. The relative contribution of organic and inorganic particulates to scattering and backscattering is clearly different among the three lakes. The scattering and backscattering properties of the particulates in the three inland lakes vary significantly based on our collected data. The results indicated that the existing semi-analytical water quality retrieval models of the Taihu Lake can not be applied perfectly to the Chaohu Lake and the Dianchi Lake.展开更多

Two electromagnetic scattering models of randomly rough surface are applied to the investigation of microwave backscattering of breaking waves driven by strong wind. The shapes of seawater droplets are considered by calculating the effective dielectric constant of the whitecap layer. The responses of seawater droplets shapes, such as sphere and ellipsoid, to the backscattering coefficient are discussed. Numerical results of the models are in good agreement with the experimental measurements of horizontally and vertically polarized backscattering at microwave frequency 13.9GHz and different incidence angles.展开更多

In addition to cell-counting methods using phytoplankton nets, a hydroacoustic technique based on acoustic backscattering has been proposed for the detection of phytoplankton blooms. However, little is known of the acoustic properties of HAB species. In this study, as essential data to support this technique, we measured the acoustic properties of two HAB species, Akashiwo sanguinea and Alexandrium affine, which occur in the South Sea off the coast of Korea. Due to the small size of the target, we used ultrasound for the measurements. Experiments were conducted under laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory experiment, the acoustic signal received from each species was directly proportional to the cell abundance. We derived a relationship between the cell abundance and acoustic signal received for each species. The measured signals were compared to predictions of a fluid sphere scattering model. When A. sanguinea blooms appeared at an abundance greater than 3 500 cells/mL, the acoustic signals varied with cell abundance, showing a good correlation. These results confirm that acoustic measurements can be used to detect HAB species.展开更多

Therefore, it has a very high military and civil value. For the characteristics of ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding, such as long sounding distance, wake echo, strong background noise, slow moving target, etc., a hardware platform of ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding system is designed. This platform adopts the technology of software radio and is designed as a new kind of general purpose, modularized, software-based ionosonde that is based on the VXI （Versa module eurocard eXtensions for Instrumentation） bus. This hardware platform has been successfully used in actual ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding, and the experimental results demonstrate that this system can satisfy the requirements.展开更多

The re...The routine operational sigma0 regrouping method is proposed for a HY-2 A scatterometer（HSCAT） that maps time-ordered sigma0 s and related parameters into a subtrack aligned grid of wind vector cells（WVCs）. The regrouping method consists of two critical steps： ground grid generation and sigma0 resampling. The HSCAT uses subtrack swath coordinates, in which the nadir track of the satellite represents the center and the designated positions are specified in terms of a pair of along-track and cross-track coordinates. To calculate the subtrack coordinates for each sigma0, a ＂triangle marking＂ resampling method is developed. Three points, including the point of intersection, the center of a pulse footprint, and the origin of the subtrack coordinate system, form a right triangle; the length of the two right-angled sides is used to represent the cross-track and the along-track coordinates in the subtrack coordinate system. In addition, a nadir point interpolation correction is used to ensure the operation of the regrouping algorithm when the nadir point positional information is missing. To illustrate the ability of the proposed regrouping algorithm, the distribution of the WVC positions and wind vector retrieval results are analyzed, which show that the proposed regrouping algorithm meets the requirements for high-quality sea surface wind field retrieval.展开更多

The transmitted optical carrier is modulated to be ultrashort pulsed laser and it is effective to suppress the backscattering to adopt the coherent detection technology by identifying the modulation envelope. A nonstationary light field is formed in seawater by the ultrashort pulsed laser. The inherent relationship between the nonstationary light field formed by modulated lidar and the stationary light field formed by conventional lidar was discussed and the backscattering light model of the stationary light field for the ultrashort pulsed laser was proposed. The backscattering signal in modulated lidar system was processed and analyzed in the frequency domain on the basis of the model.展开更多

The gamma-ray energy range is from 1 MeV to 111 MeV. It is a powerful and hopeful researchplatform to reveal the underlying physics of the nuclear, the basic particles and the vacuum or to check the exist basic physical models, quantumelectrodynamic (QED) theories. In the platform, a 1.064 mm Nd:YAG laser system and a 10.6 mm CO_(2) laser system are employed. All the triggersignals to the laser system and the electron control system are from the only reference clock at the very beginning of the LINAC to make sure thetemporal synchronization. Two optical transition radiation (OTR) targets and two charged-couple devices (CCD) are used to monitor and to alignthe electron beam and the laser beam. With the LCS gamma-ray source, it is proposed to experimentally check the gamma-ray calibrations, thephoton-nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and some basic QED phenomena.展开更多

The characterization of the dielectric constant of arid soils in the 0.3 - 3 GHz frequency range, particularly focused in L-band was analyzed in varied soil moisture content and soil textures. The interrelationship between the relative dielectric constant with soil textures and backscattering of PALSAR data was also analyzed and statistical model was computed. In this study, after collecting the soil samples in the field from top soil (0 - 10 cm) in a homogeneous area then, the dielectric constant was measured using a dielectric probe tool kit. For investigated of the characteristics and behaviors of the dielectric constant and relationship with backscattering a variety of moisture content from 0% to 40% and soil fraction conditions was tested in laboratory condition. All data were analyzed by integrating it with other geophysical data in GIS, such as land cover and soil texture. Thus, the regression model computed between measured soil moisture and backscattering coefficient of PALSR data which were extracted as same point of each soil sample pixel. Finally, after completing the preprocessing, such as removing the speckle noise by averaging, the model was applied to the PALSAR data for retrieving the soil moisture map in arid region of Iran. The analysis of dielectric constant properties result has shown the soil texture after the moisture content has the largest effected on dielectric constant. In addition, the PALSAR data in dual polarization are also able to derive the soil moisture using statistical method. The dielectric constant and backscattering shown have the exponential relationship and the HV polarization mode is more sensitive than the HH mode to soil moisture and overestimated the soil moisture as well. The validation of result has shown the 4.2 Vol-% RMSE of soil moisture. It means that the backscattering analysis should consider about other factors such a surface roughness and mix pixel of vegetation effective.展开更多

The seafloor is viewed as an elastic half-space basement covered by a fluid sediment layer with finite thickness. On the basis of calculating acoustic field in the water, the sediment layer, and the basement, four kinds of scattering mechanisms are taken into account, including roughness scattering from the water-sediment interface, volume scattering from the sediment layer, roughness scattering from the sediment-basement interface,and volume scattering from the basement. Then a backscattering model for a stratified seafloor applying to low frequency（0.1-10 kHz） is established. The simulation results show that the roughness scattering from the sediment-basement interface and the volume scattering from the basement are more prominent at relative low frequency（below 1.0 kHz）. While with the increase of the frequency, the contribution of them to total bottom scattering gradually becomes weak. And the results ultimately approach to the predictions of the high-frequency（10-100 kHz） bottom scattering model. When the sound speed and attenuation of the shear wave in the basement gradually decrease, the prediction of the model tends to that of the full fluid model, which validates the backscattering model for the stratified seafloor in another aspect.展开更多

文摘Deep learning methods have achieved significant progress in solving partial differential equations.However,when applied to the widely used anisotropic scattering neutron transport equations in reactor engineering,these encounter significant challenges.To address this issue,this study introduces a multi-antiderivative transformation alternating iterative deep learning method(M-AIM).This method transforms the integral terms of the scattering and fission sources in the transport equation into multiple antiderivative functions corresponding to the integrand,converts the differential-integral form of the transport equation into an exact differential equation,and establishes the necessary constraints for a unique solution.The M-AIM uses multiple deep neural networks to map the unknown angular flux density of transport equations and represents various forms of antiderivative functions.It constructs the corresponding weighted loss functions.By alternating iterative training with deep learning methods applied to these neural networks,the loss is reduced gradually.When the loss decreases to a preset minimum,the neural network approaches a numerical solution for both angular flux density and antiderivative functions.This paper presents a numerical verification of geometries such as flat plates and spheres.It verifies the validity of the theoretical framework and associated methods.The study contributes to the development of novel technical approaches for applying deep learning to solve anisotropic scattering neutron transport equations in reactor engineering.

文摘Small angle x-ray scattering(SAXS)is an advanced technique for characterizing the particle size distribution(PSD)of nanoparticles.However,the ill-posed nature of inverse problems in SAXS data analysis often reduces the accuracy of conventional methods.This article proposes a user-friendly software for PSD analysis,GranuSAS,which employs an algorithm that integrates truncated singular value decomposition(TSVD)with the Chahine method.This approach employs TSVD for data preprocessing,generating a set of initial solutions with noise suppression.A high-quality initial solution is subsequently selected via the L-curve method.This selected candidate solution is then iteratively refined by the Chahine algorithm,enforcing constraints such as non-negativity and improving physical interpretability.Most importantly,GranuSAS employs a parallel architecture that simultaneously yields inversion results from multiple shape models and,by evaluating the accuracy of each model's reconstructed scattering curve,offers a suggestion for model selection in material systems.To systematically validate the accuracy and efficiency of the software,verification was performed using both simulated and experimental datasets.The results demonstrate that the proposed software delivers both satisfactory accuracy and reliable computational efficiency.It provides an easy-to-use and reliable tool for researchers in materials science,helping them fully exploit the potential of SAXS in nanoparticle characterization.

文摘The quasi-monochromatic,continuously energy-tunable,and high-brightness gamma rays that are produced by an inverse Compton scattering(ICS)light source provide an ideal probe for gamma-ray imaging.However,owing to the influence of the intrinsic energy-angle correlation spectrum of this type of light source,monochromatic computed tomography(CT),especially in the gamma-ray energy region,can only be realized in a low-efficiency manner,similar to first-generation CT.A dual-energy scan scheme with a large imaging field of view(FOV)was developed in this study to improve the imaging efficiency.The effectiveness of this scheme was demonstrated based on the beam parameters of a typical ICS light source using Monte Carlo simulations.By leveraging the principle of basis material decomposition,the influence of the energyangle correlation spectrum on CT reconstruction was corrected,and a monochromatic CT image of the imaging object was accurately reconstructed.Furthermore,the electron density and effective atomic number of the imaging object could be obtained simultaneously.

文摘Based on the effective medium approximation theory of composites, the whitecap-covered sea surface is treated as a medium layer of dense seawater droplets and air. Two electromagnetic scattering models of randomly rough surface are applied to the investigation of microwave backscattering of breaking waves driven by strong wind. The shapes of seawater droplets are considered by calculating the effective dielectric constant of the whitecap layer. The responses of seawater droplets shapes, such as sphere and ellipsoid, to the backscattering coefficient are discussed. Numerical results of the models are in good agreement with the experimental measurements of horizontally and vertically polarized backscattering at microwave frequency 13.9GHz and different incidence angles.

文摘Harmful algal blooms (HABs), caused by the overgrowth of certain phytoplankton species, have negative effects on marine environments and coastal fisheries. In addition to cell-counting methods using phytoplankton nets, a hydroacoustic technique based on acoustic backscattering has been proposed for the detection of phytoplankton blooms. However, little is known of the acoustic properties of HAB species. In this study, as essential data to support this technique, we measured the acoustic properties of two HAB species, Akashiwo sanguinea and Alexandrium affine, which occur in the South Sea off the coast of Korea. Due to the small size of the target, we used ultrasound for the measurements. Experiments were conducted under laboratory and field conditions. In the laboratory experiment, the acoustic signal received from each species was directly proportional to the cell abundance. We derived a relationship between the cell abundance and acoustic signal received for each species. The measured signals were compared to predictions of a fluid sphere scattering model. When A. sanguinea blooms appeared at an abundance greater than 3 500 cells/mL, the acoustic signals varied with cell abundance, showing a good correlation. These results confirm that acoustic measurements can be used to detect HAB species.

文摘The ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding system can not only be used to detect the state of the ionosphere and the condition of high frequency channel in real time, but also be used for over-the-horizon sounding. Therefore, it has a very high military and civil value. For the characteristics of ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding, such as long sounding distance, wake echo, strong background noise, slow moving target, etc., a hardware platform of ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding system is designed. This platform adopts the technology of software radio and is designed as a new kind of general purpose, modularized, software-based ionosonde that is based on the VXI （Versa module eurocard eXtensions for Instrumentation） bus. This hardware platform has been successfully used in actual ionospheric oblique backscattering sounding, and the experimental results demonstrate that this system can satisfy the requirements.

文摘The routine operational sigma0 regrouping method is proposed for a HY-2 A scatterometer（HSCAT） that maps time-ordered sigma0 s and related parameters into a subtrack aligned grid of wind vector cells（WVCs）. The regrouping method consists of two critical steps： ground grid generation and sigma0 resampling. The HSCAT uses subtrack swath coordinates, in which the nadir track of the satellite represents the center and the designated positions are specified in terms of a pair of along-track and cross-track coordinates. To calculate the subtrack coordinates for each sigma0, a ＂triangle marking＂ resampling method is developed. Three points, including the point of intersection, the center of a pulse footprint, and the origin of the subtrack coordinate system, form a right triangle; the length of the two right-angled sides is used to represent the cross-track and the along-track coordinates in the subtrack coordinate system. In addition, a nadir point interpolation correction is used to ensure the operation of the regrouping algorithm when the nadir point positional information is missing. To illustrate the ability of the proposed regrouping algorithm, the distribution of the WVC positions and wind vector retrieval results are analyzed, which show that the proposed regrouping algorithm meets the requirements for high-quality sea surface wind field retrieval.
文摘The backscattering signal, which arises from the pulsed laser traveling through water, has limited the lidar system sensitivity and underwater target contrast. The transmitted optical carrier is modulated to be ultrashort pulsed laser and it is effective to suppress the backscattering to adopt the coherent detection technology by identifying the modulation envelope. A nonstationary light field is formed in seawater by the ultrashort pulsed laser. The inherent relationship between the nonstationary light field formed by modulated lidar and the stationary light field formed by conventional lidar was discussed and the backscattering light model of the stationary light field for the ultrashort pulsed laser was proposed. The backscattering signal in modulated lidar system was processed and analyzed in the frequency domain on the basis of the model.

文摘Based on the LINAC of BEPCII, a high-polarized, high bightness, energy-tunable, monoenergetic laser compton backscattering (LCS)gamma-ray source is under construction at IHEP. The gamma-ray energy range is from 1 MeV to 111 MeV. It is a powerful and hopeful researchplatform to reveal the underlying physics of the nuclear, the basic particles and the vacuum or to check the exist basic physical models, quantumelectrodynamic (QED) theories. In the platform, a 1.064 mm Nd:YAG laser system and a 10.6 mm CO_(2) laser system are employed. All the triggersignals to the laser system and the electron control system are from the only reference clock at the very beginning of the LINAC to make sure thetemporal synchronization. Two optical transition radiation (OTR) targets and two charged-couple devices (CCD) are used to monitor and to alignthe electron beam and the laser beam. With the LCS gamma-ray source, it is proposed to experimentally check the gamma-ray calibrations, thephoton-nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics and some basic QED phenomena.
文摘The purpose of this paper is to study about the interrelationship between the backscattering intensity of PALSAR data and the laboratory measurement of dielectric constant and soil moisture. The characterization of the dielectric constant of arid soils in the 0.3 - 3 GHz frequency range, particularly focused in L-band was analyzed in varied soil moisture content and soil textures. The interrelationship between the relative dielectric constant with soil textures and backscattering of PALSAR data was also analyzed and statistical model was computed. In this study, after collecting the soil samples in the field from top soil (0 - 10 cm) in a homogeneous area then, the dielectric constant was measured using a dielectric probe tool kit. For investigated of the characteristics and behaviors of the dielectric constant and relationship with backscattering a variety of moisture content from 0% to 40% and soil fraction conditions was tested in laboratory condition. All data were analyzed by integrating it with other geophysical data in GIS, such as land cover and soil texture. Thus, the regression model computed between measured soil moisture and backscattering coefficient of PALSR data which were extracted as same point of each soil sample pixel. Finally, after completing the preprocessing, such as removing the speckle noise by averaging, the model was applied to the PALSAR data for retrieving the soil moisture map in arid region of Iran. The analysis of dielectric constant properties result has shown the soil texture after the moisture content has the largest effected on dielectric constant. In addition, the PALSAR data in dual polarization are also able to derive the soil moisture using statistical method. The dielectric constant and backscattering shown have the exponential relationship and the HV polarization mode is more sensitive than the HH mode to soil moisture and overestimated the soil moisture as well. The validation of result has shown the 4.2 Vol-% RMSE of soil moisture. It means that the backscattering analysis should consider about other factors such a surface roughness and mix pixel of vegetation effective.

文摘In order to predict the bottom backscattering strength more accurately, the stratified structure of the seafloor is considered. The seafloor is viewed as an elastic half-space basement covered by a fluid sediment layer with finite thickness. On the basis of calculating acoustic field in the water, the sediment layer, and the basement, four kinds of scattering mechanisms are taken into account, including roughness scattering from the water-sediment interface, volume scattering from the sediment layer, roughness scattering from the sediment-basement interface,and volume scattering from the basement. Then a backscattering model for a stratified seafloor applying to low frequency（0.1-10 kHz） is established. The simulation results show that the roughness scattering from the sediment-basement interface and the volume scattering from the basement are more prominent at relative low frequency（below 1.0 kHz）. While with the increase of the frequency, the contribution of them to total bottom scattering gradually becomes weak. And the results ultimately approach to the predictions of the high-frequency（10-100 kHz） bottom scattering model. When the sound speed and attenuation of the shear wave in the basement gradually decrease, the prediction of the model tends to that of the full fluid model, which validates the backscattering model for the stratified seafloor in another aspect.
