However, the complexity of crop planting patterns and spatial heterogeneity pose significant challenges to field data collection, thereby limiting the accuracy of remotely sensed crop mapping. This study proposed a new approach for rapidly collecting field crop data by integrating unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images with the YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once version 3) algorithm. The impacts of UAV flight altitude and the number of training samples on the accuracy of crop identification models were investigated using peanut, soybean, and maize as examples. The results showed that the average F1-score for crop type detection accuracy reached 0.91 when utilizing UAV images captured at an altitude of 20 m. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between identification accuracy and the number of training samples. The model developed in this study can rapidly and automatically identify crop types from UAV images, which significantly improves the survey efficiency and provides an innovative solution for acquiring field crop data in large areas.</p>","PeriodicalId":48927,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Earth Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140580288","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}

The CWRF 30-km simulations in China are compared among 28 combinations of varying physics parameterizations during 1980–2015. Long-term average summer biases in YRB precipitation are remotely correlated with those of large-scale circulations. These teleconnections of biases are highly consistent with the observed correlation patterns between interannual variations of precipitation and circulations, despite minor shifts in their primary action centers. Increased YRB precipitation aligns with a southward shifted East Asian westerly jet, an intensified low-level southerly flow south of YRB, and a south-eastward shifted South Asian high, alongside higher moisture availability over YRB. Conversely, decreased YRB precipitation corresponds to an opposite circulation pattern. The CWRF control configuration using the ensemble cumulus parameterization (ECP), compared to other cumulus schemes, best captures the observed YRB precipitation characteristics and associated circulation patterns. Coupling ECP with the Morrison or Morrison-aerosol microphysics and the CCCMA or CAML radiation schemes enhances the overall CWRF skills. Compared to the control CWRF, the ensemble average of these skill-enhanced physics configurations more accurately reproduces YRB summer precipitation’s spatial distributions, interannual anomalies, and associated circulation patterns. The Bayesian Joint Probability calibration to these configurations improves the ensemble’s spatial distributions but compromises its interannual anomalies and teleconnection patterns. Our findings highlight substantial potential for refining the representation of climate system physics to improve YRB precipitation prediction. This is notably achieved by realistically coupling cumulus, microphysics, and radiation processes to accurately capture circulation teleconnections. Further enhancements can be achieved by optimizing the multi-physics ensemble among skill-enhanced configurations.</p>","PeriodicalId":48927,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers of Earth Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140204528","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}

The results show that the CH<sub>4</sub> content of whole gas is in the range of 42.01 %–94.72%. The distribution ranges of the δ<sup>13</sup>C-CH<sub>4</sub> value is −87.2‰ to −32.5‰, indicating diverse sources of thermogenic gas and biogenic gas.

The relationship between the genetic types and burial depth of the CBM reservoir indicates that the favorable depth of secondary biogenic gas is less than 660 m. The Late Cretaceous Yanshanian Movement led to the uplift of the Ordos Basin, and a large amount of thermogenic gas escaped from the edge of the basin. Since the Paleogene Period, the coal reservoir in the basin margin has received recharge from atmospheric precipitation, which is favorable for the formation of secondary biogenic methane. The deep area, generally under 1000 m, mainly contains residual thermogenic gas. The intermediate transition zone is mixed gas. Constrained by the tectonic background, the genetic types of CBM in different mining areas are controlled by the coupling of burial depth, coal rank, and hydrogeological conditions. The Binchang mining area contains biogenic gas, and the development of CBM has achieved initial success, indicating that similar blocks with biogenic gas formation conditions is key to the efficient development of CBM.

Here, we use two 7500 year sedimentary records from the Pearl River Delta and the closed Maar Lake, respectively, in coastal southern China to reconstruct the mid-to-late-Holocene humidity variability and explore its possible relationship with cloud cover modulated by the Earth’s magnetic fields (EMF). Our proxy records document an apparent increase in wetness in coastal southern China between 3.0 and 1.8 kyr BP. This apparent increase in humidity appears to be consistent with the lower virtual axial dipole moments and, in turn, with a lower EMF.

According to similar tracks from best-track data, TCs that cause significant precipitation in Shanghai can be divided into three types: landfall TCs, nearshore northward TCs, and western TCs. Based on ERA5 reanalysis data, the dynamic synthesis method was used to synthesize TC circulation situations to compare thermal, dynamic, water vapor, and stability conditions within TC circulations during the period when they affected Shanghai. The conclusions are as follows. 1) When the three TC types are at the same latitude as Shanghai, they are all in the divergent field in the upper troposphere. For the landfall type, the subtropical high at 500 hPa is stronger and farther north than usual, and there is a high-pressure dam on the north side of the TCs. 2) The warm advection of the three TC types at 925 hPa is located in the northern quadrant of the TCs. The dynamic and water vapor conditions are good in the north-western quadrant of landfall and western TCs, and more favorable in the eastern quadrant of nearshore northward TCs. 3) The favorable effects of all three types on precipitation in Shanghai come from the boundary layer. Water vapor, upward motion, and instability conditions of landfall TCs are superior to the other two TC types. The best water vapor, dynamic, and convective instability conditions are at the northern boundary in Shanghai during landfall TCs, and the main sources of water vapor in Shanghai come from the eastern and northern boundaries. During nearshore northward TCs, the main contribution to precipitation is from the eastern boundary, while better dynamic and water vapor conditions come from the western and northern boundaries during western TCs.

To date, few studies have combined modern hydrological conditions with paleoclimate records to explore the mechanism(s) of these changes. This study seeks to improve understanding of hydrological variability on decadal and centennial timescales in the SAYR and to identify its general cause. We first determined annual fluctuations in the surface area of Lake Ngoring from 1985 to 2020 using multi-temporal Landsat images. The results show that lake surface area changes were generally consistent with variations in precipitation, streamflow and the regional dry-wet index in the SAYR, suggesting that the water balance of the Lake Ngoring area is closely associated with regional hydroclimate changes. These records are also comparable to the stalagmite <i>δ</i><sup>18</sup>O monsoon record, as well fluctuations in the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). Moreover, an association of high TSI (total solar insolation) anomalies and sunspot numbers with the expansion of Lake Ngoring surface area is observed, implying that solar activity is the key driving factor for hydrologic variability in the SAYR on a decadal timescale. Following this line of reasoning, we compared the <i>δ</i><sup>13</sup>C<sub>org</sub>-based lake level fluctuations of Lake Ngoring for the last millennium, as previously reported, with the hydroclimatic history and the reconstructed TSI record. We conclude that the hydrological regime of Lake Ngoring has been mainly controlled by centennial fluctuations in precipitation for the last millennium, which is also dominated by solar activity.
