However, the application of machine learning to earthquake location problems faces challenges in regions with limited available training data. To address the issues of sparse event distribution and inaccurate ground truth in historical seismic datasets, we expand the training dataset by using a large number of synthetic envelopes that closely resemble real data and build an earthquake location model named ENVloc. We propose an envelope-based machine learning workflow for simultaneously determining earthquake location and origin time. The method eliminates the need for phase picking and avoids the accumulation of location errors resulting from inaccurate picking results. In practical application, ENVloc is applied to several data intercepted at different starting points. We take the starting point of the time window corresponding to the highest prediction probability value as the origin time and save the predicted result as the earthquake location. We apply ENVloc to observed data acquired in the southern Sichuan Basin, China, between September 2018 and March 2019. The results show that the average difference with the catalog in latitude, longitude, depth, and origin time is 0.02°,0.02°, 2 km, and 1.25 s, respectively. These suggest that our envelope-based method provides an efficient and robust way to locate earthquakes without phase picking, and can be used in earthquake monitoring in near-real time.展开更多

However, its location accuracy is not high, especially for focal depth because the velocity model used for the conventional intersection method is based on homogeneous or laterally homogeneous media, which is too simple. In order to improve the accuracy, we have modified the existing intersection method. In the modified approach, the earthquake loci are not assumed to be circular or hyperbolic and calculation accuracy is improved using a minimum traveltime tree algorithm for tracing rays. The numerical model shows that the modified method can locate earthquakes in complex velocity models.展开更多

First, the differential equations that describe heat flow in ore body were presented and the relationship between the surface temperature distribution and the depth and intensity of inner fire source was established with a relatively simple heat transfer model. With the solution of equation, the expression of the relationship between the surface temperature distribution and the inner fire source was deduced and the mathematical-physical model of heat transfer process was set up. Then, with the model, visualization of fire source on the basis of MATLAB simulation platform was realized. The results show that： 1） within 10 m, when the detecting depth is less than 2 m, the temperature perturbation on ores surface can change rapidly, and then slowly; after 4 m, in contrast, it changes very little, and is even close to zero at 10 m; 2） When it is close to self-ignition duration and the detective depths are 2, 5 and 10 m, respectively, the maximum temperature differences are correspondingly 0.5, 0.04 and 0.005 ℃ in the scope of 1 m×1 m; under the same condition, the maximum temperature differences are 1.391, 0.136 and 0.018 ℃, respectively, in the scope of 2 m×2 m. Therefore, this system can be used to measure the temperature differences on the surface of ore body and determine the highest temperature point directly. Also, it is possible to determine the depth of fire source and its intensity by locating method of fire source indirectly.展开更多

GMF plus Rain is based on the basic raidative transfer model with attenuation and scattering effects of rain on radar signal considered. Combined with the NSCAT2 GMF and the rain correction model, the GMF plus Rain model is used to retrieve the ocean wind vectors from the collocated QuikSCAT and SSM/I rain rate data for typhoon Melor. The resulting wind speed estimates of typhoon Melor show improved agreement with the wind fields derived from the best track analysis of Japan Meteorological Agency （JMA）. The results imply that compared with the GMF model, the GMF plus Rain model can improve the precision of wind retrieval under the rain condition. Then, a new general algorithm of locating the eye of typhoon through the normalized radar cross section （NRCS） is proposed. The implementation of this algorithm in the ten QuikSCAT observations of typhoon Melor suggests that this algorithm is effective.展开更多

The system consists of omni-directional antenna array for receiving UHF PD signals, a pre-processing circuit for signal amplification and filtering and the high- speed acquisition and control unit of PD pulse signals. The developed locating system is able to simultaneously record the PD pulse signals received by the antenna array. By assessing the time difference of arrival (TDOA), the two-dimensional hyperbolic locating model quickly locates the PD source. Based on the software developed by LabVIEW, it is also possible to display, store and further analyze the acquired signals. Through the simulation of PD signals and the locating experiments with the system, it is proved that the PD locating system possesses the features of rapidity and precision in determining the bearing of PD source.展开更多

文摘The intersection method is one of the basic approaches for locating earthquakes and is not only robust but also efficient. However, its location accuracy is not high, especially for focal depth because the velocity model used for the conventional intersection method is based on homogeneous or laterally homogeneous media, which is too simple. In order to improve the accuracy, we have modified the existing intersection method. In the modified approach, the earthquake loci are not assumed to be circular or hyperbolic and calculation accuracy is improved using a minimum traveltime tree algorithm for tracing rays. The numerical model shows that the modified method can locate earthquakes in complex velocity models.

文摘To improve the efficiency and accuracy of single-event effect(SEE)research at the Heavy Ion Research Facility at Lanzhou,Hi’Beam-SEE must precisely localize the position at which each heavy ion hitting the integrated circuit(IC)causes SEE.In this study,we propose a fast multi-track location(FML)method based on deep learning to locate the position of each particle track with high speed and accuracy.FML can process a vast amount of data supplied by Hi’Beam-SEE online,revealing sensitive areas in real time.FML is a slot-based object-centric encoder-decoder structure in which each slot can learn the location information of each track in the image.To make the method more accurate for real data,we designed an algorithm to generate a simulated dataset with a distribution similar to that of the real data,which was then used to train the model.Extensive comparison experiments demonstrated that the FML method,which has the best performance on simulated datasets,has high accuracy on real datasets as well.In particular,FML can reach 238 fps and a standard error of 1.6237μm.This study discusses the design and performance of FML.

文摘This paper proposes a rain considered geophysical model function （GMF）, to be noted as GMF plus Rain. GMF plus Rain is based on the basic raidative transfer model with attenuation and scattering effects of rain on radar signal considered. Combined with the NSCAT2 GMF and the rain correction model, the GMF plus Rain model is used to retrieve the ocean wind vectors from the collocated QuikSCAT and SSM/I rain rate data for typhoon Melor. The resulting wind speed estimates of typhoon Melor show improved agreement with the wind fields derived from the best track analysis of Japan Meteorological Agency （JMA）. The results imply that compared with the GMF model, the GMF plus Rain model can improve the precision of wind retrieval under the rain condition. Then, a new general algorithm of locating the eye of typhoon through the normalized radar cross section （NRCS） is proposed. The implementation of this algorithm in the ten QuikSCAT observations of typhoon Melor suggests that this algorithm is effective.
文摘This paper studies on the Partial Discharge (PD) Locating System based on a mobile array of ultra-high frequency (UHF) antennas and a vehicle-mounted PD locating system is established. The system consists of omni-directional antenna array for receiving UHF PD signals, a pre-processing circuit for signal amplification and filtering and the high- speed acquisition and control unit of PD pulse signals. The developed locating system is able to simultaneously record the PD pulse signals received by the antenna array. By assessing the time difference of arrival (TDOA), the two-dimensional hyperbolic locating model quickly locates the PD source. Based on the software developed by LabVIEW, it is also possible to display, store and further analyze the acquired signals. Through the simulation of PD signals and the locating experiments with the system, it is proved that the PD locating system possesses the features of rapidity and precision in determining the bearing of PD source.

文摘We have developed a type of L-shaped single-component geophone array as a single station(L-array station)for surface microseismic monitoring.The L-array station consists of two orthogonal sensor arrays,each being a linear array of single-component sensors.L-array stations can be used to accurately estimate the polarization of first arrivals without amplitude picking.In a synthetic example,we first use segmentally iterative ray tracing(SIRT)method and forward model to calculate the travel time and polarization of first arrivals at a set of L-array stations.Then,for each L-array station,the relative delay times of first arrivals along sensor arrays are used to estimate the polarization vector.The small errors in estimated polarization vectors show the reliability and robustness of polarization estimation based on L-array stations.We then use reverse-time ray-tracing(RTRT)method to locate the source position based on estimated polarizations at a set of L-array stations.Very small errors in inverted source location and origin time indicate the great potential of L-array stations for source localization applications in surface microseismic monitoring.

文摘Due to high interferometric coherence in the Nevada region,Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR)phase stacking is capable of mapping coseismic signals from the 27 January 1999,M w 4.8 Frenchman Flat earthquake.This is one of the smallest earthquakes yet studied using InSAR with line-of-sight displacements as small as~1.5 cm.Modelling the event as dislocation in an elastic half space suggests that the fault centroid was located at(115.96°W,36.81°N)with a precision of 0.2~0.3 km(1σ)at a depth of 3.4±0.2 km.Despite the dense local seismic network in southern Nevada,differences as large as 2~5 km were observed between our InSAR earthquake location and those estimated from seismic data.The InSAR-derived magnitude appeared to be greater than that from seismic data,which is consistent with other studies,and believed to be due to the relatively long time interval of InSAR data.
文摘The two-station positioning system based on time difference and azimuth measurement has measurement redundancy. Therefore, not only can a positioning solution which is completely independent of the baseline length between two stations be derived, but also the baseline length can be solved as an unknown quantity. These findings not only enhance the performance of the two-station positioning system, but also provide a design basis for the construction of a self-organizing dynamic intelligent positioning system.
