This paper investigates the applicability and limitations of combining multi‐sensor data through data fusion, to increase the usefulness of the datasets. This study focuses on merging daily mean aerosol optical thickness (AOT), as measured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites, to increase spatial coverage and produce complete fields to facilitate comparison with models and station data. The fusion algorithm used the maximum likelihood (ML) technique to merge the pixel values where available, and then the optimal interpolation method to fill the remaining gaps. The algorithm was applied to a regional AOT subset. The results illustrate that the fusion algorithm can produce complete AOT fields with reasonably good data values and acceptable errors. The cumulative semivariogram (CSV) was found to be sensitive to the spatial distribution and fraction of gap areas and, thus, useful for assessing the sensitivity of the fused data to spatial gaps. 相似文献

In this paper, the rotational transformation process is explained as a problem of rotation of remotely sensed data in the variance-covariance space. In particular, the rotation which maximizes the covariance-variance ratio is examined in detail for various land use and land cover classes in the Bombay suburban and Thana district area in India. A statistical approach to determine transformed components and other statistical variables on different band combinations is discussed. The results are analysed, and the best possible combinations selected for accurate classification are presented. 相似文献

Nanocrystalline powders of co-doped ceria oxides Ce0.85La0.10Sr0.05O2-δ (CLSO) and Ce0.85Gda0.10Sr0.05O2-δ (CGSO) have been synthesized by auto combustion method at 100°C using sucrose as fuel. Thermal analysis (TGA/DSC) of as-prepared powders indicated calcination above 400°C to remove organic residue. The average grain size of the pellets sintered at 1200°C for 4 hours is 436 and 683 nm for CLSO and CGSO, respectively. The electrical conductivity of the sintered samples was determined by impedance measurements in the temperature range 300°C to 600°C and the frequency range 20 Hz to 2 MHz. At 600°C, the total electrical conductivity (σt) of CGSO is 6.78 × 10−3 S cm−1, 2.5 times higher than 2.72 × 10−3 S cm−1 of CLSO. Further, it is found that the value of grain boundaries blocking factor (αgb) of CGSO is 0.47 which is 30% lesser than 0.68 of CLSO at 600°C. The higher value of electrical conductivity of CGSO as compared to CLSO is attributed to the lesser blocking effect of grain boundaries, smaller lattice distortion and denser microstructure of CGSO as compared to CLSO. The electrical conductivity of synthesized samples has been compared with the electrical conductivity of similar compositions of co-doped CeO2 oxides. Our study indicated that the sintering temperature, and hence, the morphology of sintered samples has a significant role in determining the electrical conductivity. The presence of oxygen vacancies in the synthesized samples is experimentally supported by using UV-visible spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques. 相似文献

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) is a recently developed manufacturing technique. In ISF, forming is done by applying deformation force through the motion of Numerically controlled (NC) single point forming tool on the clamped sheet metal blank. Single Point Incremental sheet forming (SPISF) is also known as a die-less forming process because no die is required to fabricate any component by using this process. Now a day it is widely accepted for rapid manufacturing of sheet metal components. The formability of SPISF process improves by adding some intermediate stages into it, which is known as Multi-stage SPISF (MSPISF) process. However during forming in MSPISF process because of intermediate stages stepped features are generated. This paper investigates the generation of stepped features with simulation and experimental results. An effective MSPISF strategy is proposed to remove or eliminate this generated undesirable stepped features. 相似文献

The dependence of electrooxidation on experimental conditions of organic molecules was investigated to optimize the production of hydrogen from potential wastewater sources using low voltage sources (∼1 V dc). Electrooxidation on platinum, gold, and stainless steel anodes with hydrogen production on the cathode was investigated using several different organic reductants, including: methanol, ethanol, glycerol, isopropanol, propanal, glycerol, glucose, sucrose, citric acid, and propionic acid. The electrolyte pH was varied from 2 to 12 in a 1 M Na2SO4 supporting solution. At 1 V, glycerol, citric acid, ethanol and methanol were found to yield the highest currents at low pH values (pH 2 and 7) on platinum electrode, glucose on gold electrode at pH 12 in 1 M Na2SO4 solution produced the highest total current density at 1 V with measured Faradaic efficiency for 1 M glucose of 70%. The hydrogen energy production efficiency was 86%. Practical limitations of glucose oxidation at optimum experimental conditions are discussed. 相似文献

This paper describes a recent development in rainfall estimation using satellite-flown and ground-based radars. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR), its algorithms and data processing are discussed. The ground validation algorithms and processing of the ground-based radar reflectivity data are explained. The estimates of attenuation-corrected radar reflectivity factor and rainfall rate are given at each resolution cell of the PR. The estimated near-surface rainfall rate and average rainfall rate at the altitudes of 2 km are calculated for each beam position. The TRMM PR profiling algorithm and processing of the PR reflectivity for rain distribution are explained. The TRMM rain products and their geophysical parameters are derived from the measurements from the satellite and ground-based radar. The derived geophysical parameters include vertical rain and hydrometeor profile, rain type, radar back-scatter cross-section, raindrop size distribution, rain gauge rain rates and 5-day and monthly average rain rates. For validation purposes the instantaneous and climatological comparison of the rain estimates from both the Precipitation Radar and ground-based radar at Melbourne, Florida, was carried out on the basis of rain type; i.e. convective/stratiform, vertical structure and rain maps. The error sources in rain profile retrieval from space-borne radar; i.e. the PR and ground-based radar with their algorithm limitations are discussed. A second set of data, this time for an area where no simultaneous ground data are available has also been analysed; the data were chosen for the three-dimensional rain distribution over some parts of India. The issues such as discrimination of rain from surface clutter, calibration accuracy and sensitivity of precipitation radar and discrimination of rain echo from noise are discussed. 相似文献

An approach was developed for regional assessment and monitoring of land-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, soil heterotrophic respiration (R h), and vegetation productivity of Arctic tundra using global satellite remote sensing at optical and microwave wavelengths. C- and X-band brightness temperatures were used from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) to extract surface wetness and temperature, and MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data were used to derive land cover, Leaf Area Index (LAI), and Net Primary Production (NPP) information. Calibration and validation activities involve comparisons between satellite remote sensing and tundra CO2 eddy flux towers, and hydroecological process model simulations. Analyses of spatial and temporal anomalies and environmental drivers of land-atmosphere net CO2 exchange at weekly and annual time steps were conducted. Surface soil moisture and temperature, as detected from satellite remote-sensing observations, were found to be major drivers for spatial and temporal patterns of tundra net ecosystem CO2 exchange and photosynthetic and respiration processes. Satellite microwave measurements are capable of capturing seasonal variations and regional patterns in tundra soil heterotrophic respiration and CO2 exchange, while the ability to extract spatial patterns at the scale of surface heterogeneity is limited by the coarse spatial scale of the satellite remote-sensing footprint. The microwave-derived surface temperature and soil moisture were used to estimate net ecosystem carbon exchange (NEE) at the boreal-Arctic region. These were validated using flux tower sites data. Existing satellite-based measurements of vegetation structure (i.e. LAI) and productivity (i.e. Gross Primary Production (GPP) and NPP) from the Aqua/Terra MODIS with the AMSR-E-derived land-surface temperature and soil moisture were used and integrated. Spatially explicit estimates of NEE for the pan-Arctic region at daily, weekly and annual intervals were derived. Comparative analysis of satellite data-derived NEE with measurements from CO2 eddy flux tower sites and the BIOME-BGC model were carried out and good agreement was found. The comparative analysis is statistically significant with high regression (i.e. R 2?=?0.965), especially in the R h calculation and the overall NEE regression is 0.478. The results also indicate that the carbon cycle response to climate change is nonlinear and is strongly coupled to Arctic surface hydrology. 相似文献

A laser speckle shearing interferometric technique is used for measuring the temperature profile inside a gaseous flame. The experimental results are compared with the values obtained by a thermocouple and also by speckle photography. Good agreement is seen among the temperatures measured by speckle shearing interferometry, speckle photography, and the thermocouple. Speckle shearing interferometry is easier to implement than speckle photography. This is because in speckle shearing interferometry the accurate positions of the fringes can be known without point-by-point analysis and correction for the halo effect. 相似文献

In this paper, the hyperspherical direction cosine transformation process of remotely-sensed data is explained. In particular, this transformation process is utilized to examine various land use and land cover classes in the Bombay suburban and Thana district area in India. A statistical approach to determine the transformed components and other statistical variables on different band combinations is discussed. The results are analysed, and the best possible combinations selected for accurate classification are presented. Separation of topographically induced illumination effects and spectral information (cover type) in digital scanner data can be accomplished by projecting measurement vectors on to a hypersphere. 相似文献
