In recent years, deep learning algorithms, particularly supervised algorithms, have drawn much attention over conventional deblending algorithms due to their ability to nonlinearly characterize seismic data and achieve more accurate deblended results. Supervised algorithms require large amounts of labeled data for training, yet accurate labels are rarely accessible in field cases. We present a self-supervised multistep deblending framework that does not require clean labels and can characterize the decreasing blending noise level quantitatively in a flexible multistep manner. To achieve this, we leverage the coherence similarity of the common shot gathers (CSGs) and the common receiver gathers (CRGs) after pseudo-deblending. The CSGs are used to construct the training data adaptively, where the raw CSGs are regarded as the label with the corresponding artificially pseudo-deblended data as the initial training input. We employ different networks to quantitatively characterize decreasing blending noise levels in multiple steps for accurate deblending with the help of a blending noise estimation–subtraction strategy. The training of one network can be efficiently initialized by transfer learning from the optimized parameters of the previous network. The optimized parameters trained on CSGs are used to deblend all CRGs of the raw pseudo-deblended data in a multistep manner. Tests on synthetic and field data validate the proposed self-supervised multistep deblending algorithm, which outperforms the multilevel blending noise strategy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49458,"journal":{"name":"Surveys in Geophysics","volume":"45 2","pages":"383 - 407"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46920830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These three methods provide information on different leakage characteristics, uncertainties, and spatiotemporal distributions. This work first introduces the micro-mechanism of internal erosion and then, provides a site case base for leakage investigation of earth/rock-fill dams and embankments from all over the world. For each investigation method, the basic principle, investigation process, data interpretation, and future potential are summarized. It should be emphasized that geotechnical, geoelectric, and tracing methods are placed on an equal level to assist dam managers and researchers in selecting the most appropriate method to assess dam leakage against specific geological backgrounds and structural types. Finally, the advantages, disadvantages, and applicable conditions of each investigation method are compared. The role of surface investigation methods and internal investigation methods in different stages of leakage is explained.

From a computational point of view, the line integral approach demands approximately three times the CPU time of Werner’s method. The two sets of spherical harmonic coefficients are 100% correlated up to degree 45 for Eros and up to degree 49 for Didymos. Approaching degree 100, the correlation by degree decreases by 0.0004% for Eros and by 0.004% for Didymos, the corresponding values for the correlation by order being 0.0002% and 0.304%. Inside the Brillouin sphere and approaching its boundary, the numerical agreement of the gravitational potential between the line integral method and the analytical solution is at the 1E-4 level, while with Werner’s approach at the 1E-7 level. At a distance of 33.5 km outside the Brillouin sphere for Eros and 2.2 km for Didymos, both methods are identical, reaching an agreement level with the analytical solution of 1E-11 level for Eros and 1E-14 for Didymos.

After removing long-term trends, net energy entering and exiting the climate system at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) should agree with the sum of energy entering and exiting the ocean, atmosphere, land, and ice over the course of an average year. Achieving such a balanced budget with observations has been challenging. Disagreements have been attributed previously to sparse observations in the high-latitude oceans. However, limiting the local vertical integration of new global ocean heat content estimates to the depth to which seasonal heat energy is stored, rather than integrating to 2000 m everywhere as done previously, allows closure of the global seasonal energy budget within statistical uncertainties. The seasonal cycle of energy storage is largest in the ocean, peaking in April because ocean area is largest in the Southern Hemisphere and the ocean’s thermal inertia causes a lag with respect to the austral summer solstice. Seasonal cycles in energy storage in the atmosphere and land are smaller, but peak in July and September, respectively, because there is more land in the Northern Hemisphere, and the land has more thermal inertia than the atmosphere. Global seasonal energy storage by ice is small, so the atmosphere and land partially offset ocean energy storage in the global integral, with their sum matching time-integrated net global TOA energy fluxes over the seasonal cycle within uncertainties, and both peaking in April.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49458,"journal":{"name":"Surveys in Geophysics","volume":"45 6","pages":"1785 - 1797"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10712-023-09797-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44575564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In summary, the accuracy of the solution depends on the geometric mapping, the choice of the mathematical model, and the spatial discretization. Although the available error estimators do not necessarily provide reliable error bounds for our complex geomodels, they are still useful to guide grid refinement.
