The results showed that various simulations of each member and their arithmetic mean （EnsAVlean） could capture the spatial distribution and seasonal pattern of ET sufficiently well, where they exhibited more significant spatial and seasonal variation in the ET compared with observation-based ET estimates （Obs_MTE）. For the mean annual ET, we found that the BATS forced by Princeton forcing overestimated the annual mean ET compared with Obs_MTE for most of the basins in China, whereas the VIC forced by Princeton forcing showed underestimations. By contrast, the Ens_Mean was closer to Obs_MTE, although the results were underestimated over Southeast China. Furthermore, both the Obs_MTE and Ens_Mean exhibited a significant increasing trend during 1982-98; whereas after 1998, when the last big EI Nifio event occurred, the Ens_Mean tended to decrease significantly between 1999 and 2007, although the change was not significant for Obs_MTE. Changes in air temperature and shortwave radiation played key roles in the long-term variation in ET over the humid area of China, but precipitation mainly controlled the long-term variation in ET in arid and semi-arid areas of China.展开更多

The assumption of TV is that an image consists of piecewise constants, however, it suffers from the so-cal ed staircase effect. In order to reduce the staircase effect and preserve the edges when textures of image are extracted, a new image decomposition model is proposed in this paper.

We also derive a numerical algorithm based on a primal-dual formulation that can be effectively imple-mented.

It is extended from detrended fluctuation analysis （DFA）, which was developed for detecting the long-range correlation and the fractal properties in stationary and non-stationary time series. Although MF-DFA has become a widely used method, some relationships among the exponents established in the original paper seem to be incorrect under the general situation. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the invalidity of the expression r（q） = qh（q） - 1 stipulating the relationship between the multifractal exponent T（q） and the generalized Hurst exponent h（q）. As a replacement, a general relationship is established on the basis of the universal multifractal formalism for the stationary series as .t-（q） = qh（q） - qH - 1, where H is the nonconservation parameter in the universal multifractal formalism. The singular spectra, a and f（a）, are also derived according to this new relationship.展开更多

文摘Multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis （MF-DFA） is a relatively new method of multifractal analysis. It is extended from detrended fluctuation analysis （DFA）, which was developed for detecting the long-range correlation and the fractal properties in stationary and non-stationary time series. Although MF-DFA has become a widely used method, some relationships among the exponents established in the original paper seem to be incorrect under the general situation. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate the invalidity of the expression r（q） = qh（q） - 1 stipulating the relationship between the multifractal exponent T（q） and the generalized Hurst exponent h（q）. As a replacement, a general relationship is established on the basis of the universal multifractal formalism for the stationary series as .t-（q） = qh（q） - qH - 1, where H is the nonconservation parameter in the universal multifractal formalism. The singular spectra, a and f（a）, are also derived according to this new relationship.
