Evaluation and improvement of coastal GNSS reflectometry sea level variations from existing GNSS stations in Taiwan

Global sea level rise due to an increasingly warmer climate has begun to induce hazards, adversely affecting the lives and properties of people residing in low-lying coastal regions and islands. Therefore, it is important to monitor and understand variations in coastal sea level covering offshore regions. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) have been successfully used to robustly derive sea level heights (SLHs). In Taiwan, there are a number of continuously operating GNSS stations, not originally installed for sea level monitoring. They were established in harbors or near coastal regions for monitoring land motion. This study utilizes existing SNR data from three GNSS stations (Kaohsiung, Suao, and TaiCOAST) in Taiwan to compute SLHs with two methods, namely, Lomb–Scargle Periodogram (LSP)-only, and LSP aided with tidal harmonic analysis developed in this study. The results of both methods are compared with co-located or nearby tide gauge records. Due to the poor quality of SNR data, the worst accuracy of SLHs derived from traditional LSP-only method exceeds 1?m at the TaiCOAST station. With our procedure, the standard deviations (STDs) of difference between GNSS-derived SLHs and tide gauge records in Kaohsiung and Suao stations decreased to 10?cm and the results show excellent agreement with tide gauge derived relative sea level records, with STD of differences of 7?cm and correlation coefficient of 0.96. In addition, the absolute GNSS-R sea level trend in Kaohsiung during 2006–2011 agrees well with that derived from satellite altimetry. We conclude that the coastal GNSS stations in Taiwan have the potential of monitoring absolute coastal sea level change accurately when our proposed methodology is used.     

预旋系统稳态和非稳态计算对比研究

针对预旋系统由于旋转引起流场和温度场参数周期性瞬态变化的问题，分别采用滑移网格的瞬态法和固定转子相位的稳态法进行数值求解，并在稳态计算中通过改变转子相位来近似模拟非稳态问题的时空变化特性。通过稳态空间平均结果与非稳态时均结果的对比，以期为预旋系统非稳态问题的低成本求解提供方法依据。结果表明：稳态计算结果与非稳态计算结果相比，周期性波动频率一致，接受孔进口处，稳态计算的压力波动幅度小39%左右，温度波动幅度小15%左右；多个相位的稳态空间平均结果与非稳态时均结果相比，压力高0.2%，温度低0.1%；采用多个计算周期数与单个周期的非稳态计算结果差异微小。当采用喷嘴出口气流中心正对接受孔迎风面前缘的转子相位时，稳态计算结果与非稳态计算时均结果最接近。     

High temporal resolution global PWV dataset of 2005–2016 by using a neural network approach to determine the mean temperature of the atmosphere

Atmospheric water vapour plays an important role in phenomena related to the global hydrologic cycle and climate change. However, the rapid temporal–spatial variation in global tropospheric water vapour has not been well investigated due to a lack of long-term, high-temporal-resolution precipitable water vapour (PWV). Accordingly, this study generates an hourly PWV dataset for 272 ground-based International Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Service (IGS) stations over the period of 2005–2016 using the zenith troposphere delay (ZTD) derived from global-scale GNSS observation. The root mean square (RMS) of the hourly ZTD obtained from the IGS tropospheric product is approximately 4 mm. A fifth-generation reanalysis dataset of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF ERA5) is used to obtain hourly surface temperature (T) and pressure (P), which are first validated with GNSS synoptic station data and radiosonde data, respectively. Then, T and P are used to calculate the water vapour-weighted atmospheric mean temperature (Tm) and zenith hydrostatic delay (ZHD), respectively. T and P at the GNSS stations are obtained via an interpolation in the horizontal and vertical directions using the grid-based ERA5 reanalysis dataset. Here, Tm is calculated using a neural network model, whereas ZHD is obtained using an empirical Saastamoinen model. The RMS values of T and P at the collocated 693 radiosonde stations are 1.6 K and 3.1 hPa, respectively. Therefore, the theoretical error of PWV caused by the errors in ZTD, T and P is on the order of approximately 2.1 mm. A practical comparison experiment is performed using 97 collocated radiosonde stations and 23 GNSS stations equipped with meteorological sensors. The RMS and bias of the hourly PWV dataset are 2.87/?0.16 and 2.45/0.55 mm, respectively, when compared with radiosonde and GNSS stations equipped with meteorological sensors. Additionally, preliminary analysis of the hourly PWV dataset during the EI Niño event of 2014–2016 further indicates the capability of monitoring the daily changes in atmospheric water vapour. This finding is interesting and significant for further climate research.     

Potential of IRNSS/NavIC L5 signals for ionospheric studies

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has developed an indigenous system named Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) or NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation), that consists of 7 satellites and transmits navigation signal in L and S bands. ISRO, for validation of the system, has installed many IGS (IRNSS/GPS/SBAS) receivers scattered over the Indian region. Using preliminary data from two geographically widely separated stations over India, this paper presents the results on studies on parameters of IRNSS signal quality and discusses how these parameters may be used to study the ionospheric behavior over the Indian region. The results show the importance and advantages of using IRNSS data for such studies.

现代高性能涡扇发动机采用分段组合多变量控制计划,以发挥发动机工作在整个飞行包线范围内的气动热力设计潜力。为保证发动机在过渡态工作的安全性,控制系统中必须考虑极值限制保护控制的设计问题。为避免直接限制保护控制引发的不同控制通道切换带来的系统震荡问题,提出1种高回路稳态增益的滞后-超前频域校正间接极值限制保护控制器设计方法,在保证限制回路足够的稳态精度和抗噪声能力的同时,又避免了引入积分环节导致相角裕度损失过大的缺点。通过发动机线性模型和非线性模型的控制系统仿真,验证了所述方法设计限制控制器的有效性。     

一种基于历史标校数据的移相值预测方法

地面测控设备在执行测控任务前,需要对和差接收通道的相位差进行标校(简称校相),以满足测角分系统的目标自跟踪要求.针对因标校设备故障而无法进行校相的问题,通过使用数理统计的多元回归分析方法,对积累的历史标校数据进行分析,确定了设备工作的环境温度对跟踪接收机移相值有显著影响.在此基础上,利用滑动窗口多项式拟合方法得到拟合移相值,并与最近一次的标校移相值进行时变加权,可以得到基于历史标校数据的移相值预测方法.仿真试验表明该方法具有较好的预测精度,可将预测移相值作为跟踪接收机参数,提高测控设备应急测控能力.
