Ground-based S-band and Ka-band radars were used to examine the observational capability of the prototype. A cross-comparison algorithm between different wavelengths, spatial resolutions and platform radars is presented. The reflectivity biases, correlation coefficients and standard deviations between the radars are analyzed. The equivalent reflectivity bias between the S- and Ka-band radars were simulated with a given raindrop size distribution. The results indicated that reflectivity bias between the S- and Ka-band radars due to scattering properties was less than 5 dB, and for weak precipitation the bias was negligible. The prototype space-based cloud radar was able to measure a reasonable vertical profile of reflectivity, but the reflectivity below an altitude of 1.5 km above ground level was obscured by ground clutter. The measured refiectivity by the prototype space-based cloud radar was approximately 10.9 dB stronger than that by the S-band Doppler radar （SA radar）, and 13.7 dB stronger than that by the ground-based cloud radar. The reflectivity measured by the SA radar was 0.4 dB stronger than that by the ground-based cloud radar. This study could provide a method for the quantitative examination of the observation ability for space-based radars.展开更多

In 2005, the Maqu land surface processes observational site was established to monitor climate, land surface dynamics, and hydrological variability in this region. Over a 10-year period(2010–19), an extensive observational dataset was compiled, now available to the scientific community. This dataset includes comprehensive details on site characteristics, instrumentation, and data processing methods, covering meteorological and radiative fluxes, energy exchanges, soil moisture dynamics, and heat transfer properties. The dataset is particularly valuable for researchers studying land surface processes, land–atmosphere interactions, and climate modeling, and may also benefit ecological, hydrological, and water resource studies. The report ends with a discussion on perspectives and challenges of continued observational monitoring in this region, focusing on issues such as cryosphere influences, complex topography,and ecological changes like the encroachment of weeds and scrubland.展开更多

In the FORBFNN model, the weight coefficients of nodes in the hidden layer are identified by using the fuzzy expectation-maximization （ EM ） algorithm, whereas the optimal number of these nodes as well as the centers and widths of radial basis functions are automatically constructed by using a data-driven method. Namely, the method starts with an initial node, and then a new node is added in a hidden layer according to some rules. This procedure is not terminated until the model meets the preset requirements. The method considers both the accuracy and complexity of the model. Numerical simulation results show that the modeling method is effective, and the established model has high prediction accuracy.展开更多

The results show that the O1, K1, M2 and S2 constituents of internal tides are energetic and diurnal constituents （O1 and K1） are dominating. In the observational period, the current vectors of these four constituents all rotate clockwise and the maximum semi-major axe of internal tidal ellipses is more than 14 cm/s. The variation of ocean temperature shows that the internal tides present obvious quasi-diurnal oscillation and the average amplitude reaches 50 m. Furthermore, these internal tides carry high energy and appear to be intermittent. The maximum values of KE （PE） during the observational period are up to 2 （3.5） k J/m^2 for diurnal internal tides, and up to 1 （1.5） k J/m^2 for semidiurnal internal tides.展开更多

文摘Here we report on simultaneous lidar observations of sporadic Ni(Nis)layers and sporadic Na(Nas)layers in the atmosphere over Yanqing,Beijing(40.42°N,116.02°E)from April 2019 to October 2022.During 343 nights of observation,68 Nis and 56 Nas were observed.The seasonal variation of Nis and Nas was also obtained,with the highest occurrence of Nis being in July(43%)and that of Nas being in June(61%).We found that the seasonal variation of Nis is similar to that of Nas and that both occur more frequently in summer than in winter.In addition,we found 23 events in which Nis and Nas occur simultaneously.The average peak altitude of Nas is approximately 1 km higher than that of Nis,and the peak density ratio of Nas to Nis is approximately 5,which is half the density ratio of the two main layers.Additionally,the strength factor for Nas is smaller than that for Nis.Through data analysis of sporadic E layers(Es),we found that Nis and Nas has a significant correlation with Es.The neutralization rates of Ni^(+)/Na^(+)were calculated according to the dissociative recombination reaction of Ni^(+)/Na^(+)and the WACCM-Ni(Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model of Ni).The production rates of Ni and Na were estimated to be approximately 1:4.4,which is consistent with the density ratio of Nis to Nas.The results showed that the neutralization reaction of Ni+,Na+,and electrons in Es is the main reason for the formation of the Nis layer and the Nas layer.

文摘A prototype space-based cloud radar has been a precipitation system over Tianjin, China in July developed and was installed on an airplane to observe 2010. Ground-based S-band and Ka-band radars were used to examine the observational capability of the prototype. A cross-comparison algorithm between different wavelengths, spatial resolutions and platform radars is presented. The reflectivity biases, correlation coefficients and standard deviations between the radars are analyzed. The equivalent reflectivity bias between the S- and Ka-band radars were simulated with a given raindrop size distribution. The results indicated that reflectivity bias between the S- and Ka-band radars due to scattering properties was less than 5 dB, and for weak precipitation the bias was negligible. The prototype space-based cloud radar was able to measure a reasonable vertical profile of reflectivity, but the reflectivity below an altitude of 1.5 km above ground level was obscured by ground clutter. The measured refiectivity by the prototype space-based cloud radar was approximately 10.9 dB stronger than that by the S-band Doppler radar （SA radar）, and 13.7 dB stronger than that by the ground-based cloud radar. The reflectivity measured by the SA radar was 0.4 dB stronger than that by the ground-based cloud radar. This study could provide a method for the quantitative examination of the observation ability for space-based radars.
文摘Although great-progress has been made in the earth sciences,some fundamental problems of geodynamics remain unsolved.They are concerned with the whole earth as well as regional tectonics,such as the west Pacific and Qinghai-Xizhang plateau.The new generation of earth observation by space-based measurement will contribute to solving these problems of geodynamics.In this regard,some specific plans about application of these techniques are suggested in this paper.
文摘The Macao satellites differ from their predecessors in their orbits:MSS-1(Macao Science Satellite-1)is in low inclination and the planned MSS-2 will be in highly elliptical orbits.This paper reviews the fundamental advantages and disadvantages of the different possible magnetic measurements:the component(declination,intensity,etc.)and location(satellite,ground,etc.).When planning a survey the choice of component is the"What?"question;the choice of location the"Where?"question.Results from potential theory inform the choice of measurement and data analysis.For example,knowing the vertical component of magnetic field provides a solution for the full magnetic field everywhere in the potential region.This is the familiar Neumann problem.In reality this ideal dataset is never available.In the past we were restricted to declination data only,then direction only,then total intensity only.There have also been large swathes of Earth's surface with no measurements at all(MSS-1 is restricted to latitudes below).These incomplete datasets throw up new questions for potential theory,questions that have some intriguing answers.When only declination is known uniqueness is provided by horizontal intensity measurements on a single line joining the dip-poles.When only directions are involved uniqueness is provided by a single intensity measurement,at least in principle.Paleomagnetic intensities can help.When only total intensity is known,as was largely the case in the early satellite era,uniqueness is provided by a precise location of the magnetic equator.Holes in the data distribution is a familiar problem in geophysical studies.All magnetic measurements sample,to a greater or lesser extent,the potential field everywhere.There is a trade-off between measurements close to the source,good for small targets and high resolution,and the broader sample of a distant measurement.The sampling of a measurement is given by the appropriate Green's function of the Laplacian,which determines both the resolution and scope of the measurement.For example,radial and horizontal measurements near the Earth's surface give a weighted average of the radial component over a patch of the core surface beneath the measurement site about in radius.The patch is smaller for shallower surfaces,for example from satellite to ground.Holes in the data distribution do not correspond to similar holes at the source surface;the price paid is in resolution of the source.I argue that,in the past,we have been too reluctant to take advantage of incomplete and apparently hopeless datasets.

文摘Adaptive optics(AO)has significantly advanced high-resolution solar observations by mitigating atmospheric turbulence.However,traditional post-focal AO systems suffer from external configurations that introduce excessive optical surfaces,reduced light throughput,and instrumental polarization.To address these limitations,we propose an embedded solar adaptive optics telescope(ESAOT)that intrinsically incorporates the solar AO(SAO)subsystem within the telescope's optical train,featuring a co-designed correction chain with a single Hartmann-Shack full-wavefront sensor(HS f-WFS)and a deformable secondary mirror(DSM).The HS f-WFS uses temporal-spatial hybrid sampling technique to simultane-ously resolve tip-tilt and high-order aberrations,while the DSM performs real-time compensation through adaptive modal optimization.This unified architecture achieves symmetrical polarization suppression and high system throughput by min-imizing optical surfaces.A 600 mm ESAOT prototype incorporating a 12×12 micro-lens array HS f-WFS and 61-actuator piezoelectric DSM has been developed and successfully conducted on-sky photospheric observations.Validations in-cluding turbulence simulations,optical bench testing,and practical observations at the Lijiang observatory collectively confirm the system's capability to maintain aboutλ/10 wavefront error during active region tracking.This architectural breakthrough of the ESAOT addresses long-standing SAO integration challenges in solar astronomy and provides scala-bility analyses confirming direct applicability to the existing and future large solar observation facilities.

文摘This study explored the observation strategy and effectiveness of synoptic-scale adaptive observations for improving sea fog prediction in coastal regions around the Bohai Sea based on a poorly predicted fog event with cold-front synoptic pattern(CFSP).An ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation system for the Weather Research and Forecasting model was adopted with ensemble sensitivity analysis(ESA).By comparing observation impacts(estimated from a 40-member ensemble with ESA)among different meteorological observation variables and pressure levels,the temperature at 850 hPa and surface layer(850 hPa-and-surface temperature)was selected as the target observation type.Additionally,the area with large observation impacts for this observation type was predicted in the transition region of the surface low–high system.This area developed southward with the low and moved eastward with the low–high system,which could be explained by the main features of CFSP.Moreover,both experiments assimilating synthetic and real observations showed that assimilating 850 hPa-and-surface temperature observations generally yielded better fog coverage forecasts in areas with greater observation impacts than areas with smaller impacts.However,the effectiveness of adaptive observations was reduced when real observations rather than synthetic observations were assimilated,which is possibly due to factors such as observation and model errors.The main conclusions above were verified by another typical fog event with CFSP characteristics.Results of this study highlight the importance of improved initial conditions in the transition region of the low–high system for improving fog prediction and provide scientific guidance for implementing an observation network for fog forecasting over the Bohai Sea.

文摘The ice-phase microphysical characteristics of a stratiform cloud system over the Qilian Mountains in northwestern China on 15 September 2022 were analyzed via aircraft data.The stratiform cloud system developed under southwesterly flows at 500 hPa and was affected locally by topography.Synoptic features and aircraft observations revealed strengthened cloud development on the leeward slope.The ice particle habits and microphysical processes at heights of 6-8 km were investigated.The cloud system was characterized by extremely low supercooled liquid water content at temperatures between−4℃ and−17℃.The ice particle concentrations ranged predominantly from 10 to 30 L^(−1),corresponding to ice water content ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 g m^(−3).Active ice aggregation was observed at temperatures colder than−10°C.The windward side of the cloud system exhibited weaker development and two distinct cloud layers.Intense orographic uplift on the leeward slope enhanced ice particle aggregation.The clouds on the leeside presented lower ice particle concentrations but larger sizes than those on the windward side.The influence of aggregation on the ice particle size distribution was reflected in two main aspects.One aspect was the bimodal spectra at−16℃,with the first peak at 125μm and subpeak at 400-500μm;the other was the broadened size spectra at−13℃ due to significant aggregation of dendrites.

文摘The Bei Dou satellite system(BDS)has progressed with the full operationalization of the secondgeneration regional system(BDS-2)and the third-generation global system(BDS-3).This technology plays a crucial role in determining Earth Rotation Parameters(ERPs).In this study,we determine the ERPs based on the observations of BDS-2,BDS-3 and BDS-2+BDS-3,with the time spanning from August18,2022,to August 18,2023.The IERS EOP 20C04 series is used as a reference to evaluate the accuracy of the ERP estimates.We analyze the impact of different numbers of reference stations,polyhedron volumes,observation arc lengths,satellite types,and satellite systems on solving ERPs using BDS-2 and BDS-3 observation data provided by the International GNSS Service(IGS)stations.When selecting a specific satellite type,it is necessary to choose an appropriate observation arc length based on different numbers of reference stations while maximizing the volume of the formed polyhedron to achieve optimal efficiency and accuracy in parameter estimation.When both the number of reference stations and observation arc length are fixed,higher precision of the ERPs can be achieved using observations from MEO than MEO+IGSO and MEO+IGSO+GEO.Moreover,when considering only IGSO and MEO satellites as options for analysis purposes,BDS-3 provides higher accuracy compared to BDS-2.In summary,when using BDS for ERP estimation and MEO satellite observations with the same observation arc length,selecting stations from reference stations with larger polyhedral volumes can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of parameter estimation.
文摘The infrared band contains rich opportunities for astronomical research,but due to the limitations of infrared technology,the development of infrared astronomy in China has been far from satisfactory for a long time,especially for solar observation.“Accurate Infrared Magnetic field Measurements of the Sun”project(AIMS)is a National Major Scientific Research Instrument Development Project(recommended by the Ministries)supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.It is aimed at improving the accuracy of magnetic field measurement by an order of magnitude,by measuring the“Zeeman splitting”directly.In addition,as AIMS is also the first equipment specifically designed for mid-to far-infrared solar observation in the world,we also hope to utilize AIMS to explore potential new scientific research opportunities in the vast infrared region.This article will briefly introduce the scientific objectives,the telescope,the scientific post-focus instruments,and finally summarize the commissioning observations of AIMS.

文摘Sterile neutrinos can influence the evolution of the Universe,and thus cosmological observations can be used to detect them.Future gravitational-wave(GW)observations can precisely measure absolute cosmological distances,helping to break parameter degeneracies generated by traditional cosmological observations.This advancement can lead to much tighter constraints on sterile neutrino parameters.This work provides a preliminary forecast for detecting sterile neutrinos using third-generation GW detectors in combination with future shortγ-ray burst observations from a THESEUS-like telescope,an approach not previously explored in the literature.Both massless and massive sterile neutrinos are considered within theΛCDM cosmology.We find that using GW data can greatly enhance the detection capability for massless sterile neutrinos,reaching 3σlevel.For massive sterile neutrinos,GW data can also greatly assist in improving the parameter constraints,but it seems that effective detection is still not feasible.

文摘The Conditional Nonlinear Optimal Perturbation(CNOP)method works essentially for conventional numerical models;however,it is not fully applicable to the commonly used deep-learning forecasting models(DLMs),which typically input multiple time slices without deterministic dependencies.In this study,the CNOP for DLMs(CNOP-DL)is proposed as an extension of the CNOP in the time dimension.This method is useful for targeted observations as it indicates not only where but also when to deploy additional observations.The CNOP-DL is calculated for a forecast case of sea surface temperature in the South China Sea with a DLM.The CNOP-DL identifies a sensitive area northwest of Palawan Island at the last input time.Sensitivity experiments demonstrate that the sensitive area identified by the CNOP-DL is effective not only for the CNOP-DL itself,but also for random perturbations.Therefore,this approach holds potential for guiding practical field campaigns.Notably,forecast errors are more sensitive to time than to location in the sensitive area.It highlights the crucial role of identifying the time of the sensitive area in targeted observations,corroborating the usefulness of extending the CNOP in the time dimension.

文摘Airborne hyperspectral imaging spectrometers have been used for Earth observation over the past four decades.Despite the high sensitivity of push-broom hyperspectral imagers,they experience limited swath and wavelength coverage.In this study,we report the development of a push-broom airborne multimodular imaging spectrometer(AMMIS)that spans ultraviolet(UV),visible near-infrared(VNIR),shortwave infrared(SWIR),and thermal infrared(TIR)wavelengths.As an integral part of China's HighResolution Earth Observation Program,AMMIS is intended for civilian applications and for validating key technologies for future spaceborne hyperspectral payloads.It has been mounted on aircraft platforms such as Y-5,Y-12,and XZ-60.Since 2016,AMMIS has been used to perform more than 30 flight campaigns and gather more than 200 TB of hyperspectral data.This study describes the system design,calibration techniques,performance tests,flight campaigns,and applications of the AMMIS.The system integrates UV,VNIR,SWIR,and TIR modules,which can be operated in combination or individually based on the application requirements.Each module includes three spectrometers,utilizing field-of-view(FOV)stitching technology to achieve a 40°FOV,thereby enhancing operational efficiency.We designed advanced optical systems for all modules,particularly for the TIR module,and employed cryogenic optical technology to maintain optical system stability at 100 K.Both laboratory and in-flight calibrations were conducted to improve preprocessing accuracy and produce high-quality hyperspectral data.The AMMIS features more than 1400 spectral bands,with spectral sampling intervals of 0.1 nm for UV,2.4 nm for VNIR,3 nm for SWIR,and 32 nm for TIR.In addition,the instantaneous fields of view(IFoVs)for the four modules were 0.5,0.25,0.5,and 1 mrad,respectively,with the VNIR module achieving an IFoV of 0.125 mrad in the high-spatial-resolution mode.This study reports on land-cover surveys,pollution gas detection,mineral exploration,coastal water detection,and plant investigations conducted using AMMIS,highlighting its excellent performance.Furthermore,we present three hyperspectral datasets with diverse scene distributions and categories suitable for developing artificial intelligence algorithms.This study paves the way for next-generation airborne and spaceborne hyperspectral payloads and serves as a valuable reference for hyperspectral sensor designers and data users.

文摘Cleanliness control of advanced steels is of vital importance for quality control of the products.In order to understand and control the inclusion removal during refining process in molten steel,its motion behaviors at the multiple steel/gas/slag interfaces have attracted the attention much of metallurgical community.The recent development of the agglomeration of non-metallic inclusions at the steel/Ar and steel/slag interfaces has been summarized,and both the experimental as well as theoretical works have been surveyed.In terms of in situ observation of high-temperature interfacial phenomena in the molten steel,researchers utilized high-temperature confocal laser scanning microscopy to observe the movement of more types of inclusions at the interface,i.e.,the investigated inclusion is no longer limited to Al_(2)O_(3)-based inclusions but moves forward to rare earth oxides,MgO-based oxides,etc.In terms of theoretical models,especially the model of inclusions at the steel/slag interface,the recent development has overcome the limitations of the assumptions of Kralchevsky-Paunov model and verified the possible errors caused by the model assumptions by combining the water model and the physical model.Last but not least,the future work in this topic has been suggested,which could be in combination of thermal physical properties of steels and slag,as well as utilize the artificial intelligence-based methodology to implement a comprehensive inclusion motion behaviors during a comprehensive metallurgical process.

文摘The source region of the Yellow River, accounting for over 38% of its total runoff, is a critical catchment area,primarily characterized by alpine grasslands. In 2005, the Maqu land surface processes observational site was established to monitor climate, land surface dynamics, and hydrological variability in this region. Over a 10-year period(2010–19), an extensive observational dataset was compiled, now available to the scientific community. This dataset includes comprehensive details on site characteristics, instrumentation, and data processing methods, covering meteorological and radiative fluxes, energy exchanges, soil moisture dynamics, and heat transfer properties. The dataset is particularly valuable for researchers studying land surface processes, land–atmosphere interactions, and climate modeling, and may also benefit ecological, hydrological, and water resource studies. The report ends with a discussion on perspectives and challenges of continued observational monitoring in this region, focusing on issues such as cryosphere influences, complex topography,and ecological changes like the encroachment of weeds and scrubland.

文摘On January 7,2025,an Ms6.8 earthquake struck Dingri County,XigazêCity,in the Xizang Autonomous Region.The epicenter,located near the Shenzha-Dingjie fault zone at the boundary between the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the Indian Plate,marked the largest earthquake in the region in recent years.The Shenzha-Dingjie fault zone,situated at the boundary between the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the Indian Plate,is a key tectonic feature in the India-Eurasia collision process,exhibiting both thrust and strike-slip faulting.This study analyzed the disaster characteristics induced by the earthquake using Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry(DIn SAR)to process Sentinel-1 satellite data and derive pre-and post-earthquake surface deformation information.Additionally,high-resolution optical remote sensing data,UAV(unmanned aerial vehicle)imagery,and airborne Li DAR(light detection and ranging)data were employed to analyze the spatial distribution of the surface rupture zone,with field investigations validating the findings.Key results include:(1)Field verification confirmed that potential landslide hazard points identified via optical image interpretation did not exhibit secondary landslide activity;(2)D-In SAR revealed the co-seismic surface deformation pattern,providing detailed deformation information for the Dingri region;(3)Integration of Li DAR and optical imagery further refined and validated surface rupture characteristics identified by optical-In SAR,indicating a predominantly north-south rupture zone.Additionally,surface fracture features extending in a near east-west direction were observed on the southeast side of the epicenter,accompanied by some infrastructure damage;(4)Surface fracture was most severe in high-intensity seismic areas near the epicenter,with the maximum surface displacement approximately 28 km from the epicenter.The earthquake-induced surface deformation zone spanned approximately 6 km by 46 km,with deformation concentrated primarily on the western side of the Dingmucuo Fault,where maximum subsidence of 0.65 m was detected.On the eastern side,uplift was dominant,reaching a maximum of 0.75 m.This earthquake poses significant threats to local communities and infrastructure,underscoring the urgent need for continued monitoring in affected areas.The findings highlight the effectiveness of multi-source data fusion(space-air-ground based observation)in seismic disaster assessment,offering a methodological framework for rapid post-earthquake disaster response.providing a valuable scientific foundation for mitigating secondary disasters in the region.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of blood-letting cupping combined with manual lymphatic drainage in treating breast cancer-related lymphedema(BCRL)and explore its mechanism of action from both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medical perspectives,providing a scientific basis and novel therapeutic approaches for clinical management of BCRL.Methods:Patients with BCRL admitted to the outpatient and inpatient departments of Hebei University Affiliated Hospital were enrolled.A prospective randomized controlled trial design was adopted,with eligible patients randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group.The control group received manual lymphatic drainage alone,while the treatment group received manual lymphtic drainage combined with blood-letting cupping therapy.Posttreatment comparisons evaluated upper limb circumference reduction,edema severity grading,and upper limb functional scores.Vital signs and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded for both groups.Statistical software analyzed the data.Results:The treatment group demonstrated significantly greater reduction in upper limb circumference,improvement in edema severity,and higher upper limb function scores compared to the control group(P<0.05).Vital signs remained stable throughout treatment in both groups.No severe adverse reactions occurred in the treatment group;only isolated cases of mild skin itching were reported,which resolved after symptomatic management.Conclusion:The combination of bloodletting cupping and manual lymphatic drainage demonstrates reliable efficacy in treating BCRL,effectively alleviating edema symptoms and improving upper limb function with high safety.Its mechanism may relate to traditional Chinese medicine principles of“unblocking meridians,promoting blood circulation,and resolving stasis”and modern medical concepts of“enhancing local blood circulation,facilitating lymphatic drainage,and reducing inflammatory responses”.

文摘Unmanned combat aerial vehicles require lightweight,stealth-capable exhaust systems.However,traditional metallic nozzles increase radar detectability and reduce range,while advanced composites offer high performance but are expensive.Therefore,to improve the operational range and survivability of unmanned combat aerial vehicles,a lightweight,high-temperature-resistant,oxidation-resistant,and low-observable composite exhaust nozzle is developed to replace conventional metallic straight-type nozzles.The nozzle features a double serpentine shape to reduce radar and infrared signatures and is manufactured as a monolithic structure using the filament winding process,accommodating the complex geometry and large size(length:1.8 m,width:0.8 m).The exhaust nozzle consists of a ceramic matrix composite made of silicon carbide fibers and a silicon oxycarbide matrix,which absorbs and scatters radio frequency signals while withstanding prolonged exposure to high-temperature(700℃)oxidizing environments typical of engine exhaust gases.The polysiloxane resin used to produce the silicon oxycarbide matrix poses significant challenges owing to its low tackiness and high viscosity variations depending on the presence of nanoparticles,making filament winding difficult.These challenges are addressed by optimizing resin viscosity and winding pattern design.As a result,the tensile strength of the composite specimens fabricated with the optimized viscosity increases by 228.03% before pyrolysis and 97.68%after pyrolysis,compared with that of the non-optimized specimens.In addition,the density and tensile strength of the composite processed via three cycles of polymer infiltration and pyrolysis increased by 13.08% and 80.37%,respectively,compared to those of the non-densified composite.High-temperature oxidation and flame tests demonstrate exceptional thermal and oxidative stability.Furthermore,when compared with carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites,the developed composite exhibits a permittivity at least two levels lower and a reflection loss below7 dB within the frequency range of 9.3-10.9 GHz,underscoring its superior electromagnetic stealth performance.

文摘A fuzzy observations-based radial basis function neural network （FORBFNN） is presented for modeling nonlinear systems in which the observations of response are imprecise but can be represented as fuzzy membership functions. In the FORBFNN model, the weight coefficients of nodes in the hidden layer are identified by using the fuzzy expectation-maximization （ EM ） algorithm, whereas the optimal number of these nodes as well as the centers and widths of radial basis functions are automatically constructed by using a data-driven method. Namely, the method starts with an initial node, and then a new node is added in a hidden layer according to some rules. This procedure is not terminated until the model meets the preset requirements. The method considers both the accuracy and complexity of the model. Numerical simulation results show that the modeling method is effective, and the established model has high prediction accuracy.

文摘20-day in-situ ADCP current and CTD data are used to investigate the characteristics and energy of the internal tides in the northern South China Sea （NSCS）. The results show that the O1, K1, M2 and S2 constituents of internal tides are energetic and diurnal constituents （O1 and K1） are dominating. In the observational period, the current vectors of these four constituents all rotate clockwise and the maximum semi-major axe of internal tidal ellipses is more than 14 cm/s. The variation of ocean temperature shows that the internal tides present obvious quasi-diurnal oscillation and the average amplitude reaches 50 m. Furthermore, these internal tides carry high energy and appear to be intermittent. The maximum values of KE （PE） during the observational period are up to 2 （3.5） k J/m^2 for diurnal internal tides, and up to 1 （1.5） k J/m^2 for semidiurnal internal tides.
