However, interpretation of Antarctic ice core NO₃⁻ records as a proxy for past solar activity remains challenging due to multiple sources and processes controlling NO₃⁻ variability in ice core records. Here, we present a new high-resolution ice core NO₃⁻ record (1905–2005 CE) from coastal Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica, to investigate the solar signal and other forcing factors/processes in controlling ice core NO₃⁻ variability. Our record exhibits significant periodicity in the range of 8–12 years frequency band during 1940–2005 CE, apparently identified as the signal of ∼11 year sunspot cycle; however, such signal was not detected in the previous interval during 1905–1940 CE. To address the discontinuous and/or obscured signals in the present ice core record and inconsistency among various Antarctica ice core records, we extended our investigations to 10 ice core NO₃⁻ records from various regions of Antarctica. Analysis of seven records for the common interval from 1738 to 1990 CE reveals dominant periodicities of 8–12 years, indicating solar forcing as a primary driver, followed by precipitation modulated by El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Further, our investigation reveals that the solar signal extracted from multiple records becomes undetectable when mean annual hemispheric sunspot numbers larger than 140, suggesting this is a threshold limit for detecting the solar signal. These findings will improve our present understanding of ice core NO₃⁻ records as a proxy for past solar activity.</p>","PeriodicalId":54286,"journal":{"name":"Earth and Space Science","volume":"11 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2023EA003221","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142764096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant efforts have been made to improve the resolution of global DEMs (e.g., TanDEM-X) and create bare-earth DEMs (e.g., FABDEM, MERIT, CEDTM). We evaluated the vertical accuracy of bare-earth and global DEMs in Central European mountains and submontane regions, and assessed how DEM resolution, vegetation offset removal, land cover, and terrain slope affect stream network delineation. Using lidar-derived DTM and national stream networks as references, we found that: (a) bare-earth DEMs outperform global DEMs across all land cover types. RMSEs increased with increasing slope for all DEMs in non-forest areas. In forests, however, the negative effect of the slope was outweighed by the vegetation offset even for bare-earth DTMs; (b) the accuracy of derived stream networks was affected by terrain slope and land cover more than by the vertical accuracy of DEMs. Stream network delineation performed poorly in non-forest areas and relatively well in forests. Increasing slope improved the streams delineation performance; (c) using DEMs with higher resolution (e.g., 12 m TanDEM-X) improved stream network delineation, but increasing resolution also increased the need for effective vegetation bias removal. Our results indicate that vertical accuracy alone does not reflect how well DEMs perform in stream network delineation.

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) provides a promising new alternative given the ease of deployment, light weight and simplicity of fiber optic cables. However, the feasibility and best operational practices for using DAS for planetary exploration are not well-known. We examine the use of DAS with surface deployed fiber for planetary near-surface seismic exploration at two lunar geophysical analogue sites in San Francisco Volcanic Field. We compare DAS recordings to 3-component seismometer recordings and geophone shot recordings and determine empirical response functions for the DAS system with respect to the 3-component recordings. Shot sections of DAS and traditional seismic equipment compare well visually, with similar moveout of identifiable phases. DAS records first arrivals in good agreement with seismometers making them suitable for refraction work. Multichannel analysis of surface waves is performed on DAS records to estimate shallow shear velocities. The DAS has high spectral coherence with the horizontal components of ∼0.7 in the frequency band of the seismic shot energy. The empirical response functions are stable with amplitudes of ∼1.0–3.0 × 10⁻¹⁰ m per strain. Finally, the phase response is linear but not flat or zero.

Historical weather and normalized difference vegetation index data sets of Australia for 2005–2021 were utilized. Two main unsupervised approaches were analyzed. The first used a deep autoencoder to obtain latent features, which were then fed into clustering models, isolation forest, local outlier factor and one-class support vector machines for anomaly detection. The second approach used a deep autoencoder to reconstruct the input data and use reconstruction errors to identify anomalies. Long Short-Term Memory autoencoders and fully connected (FC) autoencoders were employed in this part, both in an unsupervised way learning only from nominal data. The FC autoencoder outperformed its counterparts, achieving an accuracy of 0.71, an F1-score of 0.74, and an MCC of 0.42.

In this study, we reconstruct the topography of lava tube pits using a refined photogrammetric approach.

This study quantities the influence of parameterization scheme changes on Arctic low cloud properties within the Hadley Center Global Environmental Model 3 atmospheric model using a suite of experiments where individual parameterization packages are changed between the two configurations. The results indicate, surprisingly, that single parameterization changes explain most of the cloud property changes, whereas multiple parameterizations, including non-cloud schemes, contribute to cloud radiative effect differences. Non-cloud parameterizations are those not used to compute time step cloud properties. We employ a three-term decomposition to quantify contributions from (a) regime independent, (b) regime dependent, and (c) the regime frequency of occurrence changes. Decomposition results indicate that cloud property changes vary by meteorological regime, each term contributes differently to each cloud property change, and non-cloud parameterization changes make substantial contributions to the LW and SW cloud radiative effects by affecting clear-sky fluxes.
