This research utilizes GPS data from three geodetic networks (ItalPos, NetGEO, and RING) to analyze the seismic waves generated by the earthquake, capturing seismic effects with great precision and resolution. By examining data from various GPS stations within the region, the study demonstrates the efficacy of GPS in providing detailed and accurate representations of ground motion. The study identifies co-seismic displacements and accelerations at monitoring stations by processing and analyzing GPS data, including precise point positioning strategies and wavelet adjustments. Moreover, a least squares adjustment method is employed to optimize the estimation of temporal parameters associated with seismic event detection across the spatial network of stations. The results obtained from GPS data are validated against seismic equipment, affirming their reliability in characterizing seismic events. Furthermore, the study elucidates the propagation of surface waves and path effects over the affected region, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the earthquake impact. This research underscores the potential of GPS data as a valuable tool for rapid and precise characterization of seismic events, offering insights into ground motion dynamics and facilitating timely response and mitigation efforts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22001,"journal":{"name":"Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica","volume":"68 3-4","pages":"176 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11200-023-0322-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141369727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, denoising is an indispensable step in the seismic data processing. Traditional denoising methods based on prior knowledge are susceptible to the influence of the hypothesis model and parameters. In contrast, deep learning-based denoising methods can extract deep features from the data autonomously and generate a sophisticated denoising model through adaptive learning. However, these methods generally learn a specific model for each noise level, which results in poor representation ability and suboptimal denoising efficacy when applied to seismic data with different noise levels. To address this issue, we propose a denoising method based on a two-stage convolutional neural network (TSCNN). The TSCNN comprises an estimation subnet (ES) and a denoising subnet (DS). The ES employs a multilayer CNN to estimate noise levels, and the DS performs noise suppression on noisy seismic data based on the ES estimation of the noise distribution. In addition, attention mechanisms are implemented in the proposed network to efficiently extract noise information hidden in complex backgrounds. The TSCNN also adopts the L<sub>1</sub> loss function to enhance the generalization ability and denoising outcome of the model, and a residual learning scheme is utilized to solve the problem of network degradations.

In this study, we propose the combined BiLSTM+ARIMA model, which is based on bidirectional long- and short-term memory (BiLSTM) and autoregression integrated moving average (ARIMA). First, ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) is performed as a filter to decompose the polar motion time series to obtain low- and high-frequency signals. The EOP14 C04 time series provided by International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and decomposed by EEMD includes low-frequency signals like the long-term trend, decadal oscillation, Chandler wobble, and prograde annual wobble, along with shorter-period high-frequency signals. Second, low- and high-frequency signals are predicted using BiLSTM and ARIMA models, respectively. Finally, the low- and high-frequency signal forecast components are reconstructed to obtain geodetic polar motion predictions. In middle- and long-term polar motion prediction, the results show that the proposed model can improve the prediction accuracy by up to 42% and 17%, respectively.

In order to study the effects of water and salt on red clay soils, this paper uses red clay in the Heyang of Weinan with different ratios of distilled water (10–20%) and Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> (0–4%), and obtains the resistivity of red clay soils at different frequencies (100 Hz–100 kHz) using an inductance, capacitance and resistance digital bridge tester. The results show that the resistivity of red clay is negatively correlated with water and salt content. With the increase of water content, the increase of conductive paths in the pore water improved the electrical conductivity of the red clay; while when the concentration of Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> increased, the free moving anions and cations in the pore water increased, the electrical conduction efficiency increased and the resistivity decreased. The high frequency increased the conductivity of red clay by contributing to electrical double layer deformation, whereas the electrode polarization led to inhibition of conductivity under low frequency. A negative power exponential relationship exists between the resistivity of red clay and the test frequency.

Various factors such as equipment failures, and surface obstacles, result in irregularly located or corrupted traces. The absence of these traces can compromise the quality and accuracy of the resulting image. To address this issue, the Nonuniform Fast Fourier Transform (NUFFT) method is employed to reconstruct missing traces in datasets with non-uniformly sampled data. It works by interpolating the non-uniformly sampled data onto a regular grid, enabling the traditional Fast Fourier Transform application for data recovery. This interpolation process is adjusted using a kernel function to account for non-uniform sampling and reduce aliasing artifacts. The outcome is a collection of Fourier coefficients that can be utilized to reconstruct missing or incomplete parts of data. This problem is transformed into a linear constraint problem, which is efficiently solved using the Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm (FISTA). In this study, we explore various techniques aimed at improving the convergence of FISTA, collectively referred to as improved FISTA methods. To validate the NUFFT+FISTA method for data reconstruction, we conducted numerical tests using 3D and 2D synthetic datasets, as well as field data. These tests show the advantages of the Greedy-FISTA in terms of convergence rate and affirm the accuracy of this approach in filling missing data traces.</p>","PeriodicalId":22001,"journal":{"name":"Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica","volume":"68 1-2","pages":"61 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140572086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their original concept, introduced in the 19-th century, defined physical heights as lengths of plumblines of the Earth’s gravity field between the geoid and points of interest. There are orthometric heights of surface points, that have been traditionally estimated by spirit levelling and measured gravity; however, the knowledge of the density distribution of topographic masses (masses between the geoid and Earth’s surface) is required that significantly affects their determinability. This was also the main reason why a new type of physical heights was proposed in the mid of the 20-th century. Normal heights approximate orthometric heights in a sense that the Earth’s gravity field is replaced by the normal gravity field, an analytic model based on the theory of an equipotential ellipsoid. This height system has been introduced since that time in different countries in Europe and beyond. Contrary to the classical height system based on orthometric heights, its counterpart based on normal heights may have slightly different definitions. Moreover, normal heights are often defined as heights of points above the quasigeoid. This contribution reviews alternative definitions of normal heights and respective height systems. It is argued that both orthometric and normal heights refer to the geoid. In the case physical heights are estimated by satellite positioning, normal heights must be computed through the height anomaly estimated at each point of interest, whether it is below, at or above the Earth’s surface. On the contrary, orthometric heights of all points along the same plumbline, be it below, at or above the Earth’s surface, are estimated by introducing one value of the geoid height. Normal heights of surface points can be estimated by spirit levelling easier than orthometric heights as no topographic mass density hypothesis is required; however, one has to keep in mind the gravity field approximation used both for their definition and realization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22001,"journal":{"name":"Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica","volume":"68 1-2","pages":"1 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139463972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In combination with the first-order weak-anisotropy approximation, in which anisotropy is considered as the first-order perturbation of reference isotropy, parameterization by A-parameters yields insight into the role of individual A-parameters in the wave propagation problems. For example, it turns out that in the first-order weak-anisotropy approximation, P- and S-wave velocities are each controlled by fifteen A-parameters. A set of six of them appears only in the expression for P-wave velocity, a set of other six A-parameters appears only in S-waves velocity expressions.
